    Interesting thesis on social evolution re: the cyclic nature of quality of life vs 'information age'

    someone pointed out to me that after every transformative shift in human social context, eg agrarian -> industrial, so on, there is a massive drop in mean quality of life before it hits new highs.

    i think its rather likely that we are either at the bottom or approaching the bottom of the correlative dip to the onset of / entry into the information age.

    eg the worst aspects of it are over amplified and the best benefits of it are being largely ignored or outright suppressed.

    heres to hoping shit gets less fucked sooner than later.

    i think it's more likely that things seem worse when you get older and that's what making everything suck so hard

      I think you are overestimating how bad it is. I think it likely can (and will) get much worse. I think due in large part to the left's increasingly successful jihad agains policing, we are about to find out how quick civil society can fall apart.

        respectfully im looking way beyond colloquial bullshit like wokeists telling cops to knock off the extrajudicial assassinations.

        in fact im looking well beyond the immediate inconveniences of societal collapse.

        the mean quality of information being trusted hasnt been this bad since the dark ages. and its a direct result of very, very stupid people being able to feed their collective dunning kruger pathos at the digital trough with absolutely no one and nothing to stop them, and the collective persecution of that stupidity has been, in typical fashion, strong enough to cauterize the rights sense of emotional intelligence / empathy and weak enough to encourage them double down on their race to the intellectual bottom.

                i mean honestly tho i 100% agree with kalam that the potential is there for things to go off a fucking cliff still, but the real point im making is that we always see these sorts of descents into collective hell after paradigm shifts and then people dust themselves off and do some clutch shit with whatevers left.
