We can easily say the same for the knee jerk reactions to these articles that everything is fine.<p>What if people complain about this decade after decade because it is getting worse and worse? Of course, people in the conventional wisdom like you would never think of that.<p>I firmly believe that increased technology makes smaller and smaller cogs of us all, making us worse and worse, concentrating real experiences and all that creative stuff onto fewer and fewer people who can actually afford it.<p>Ease of communication means it&#x27;s more difficult to separate your thoughts from others. You become ever closer to a mere regurgitator of pre packaged thoughts.<p>Luckily, if you regurgitate the thoughts of people who have better and healthier ideas (like how I&#x27;m regurgitating Baudrillard right now) the system is self defeating.<p>But it knows that as well, so there will always be zombies like you produced to promote the conventional wisdom!
