    I think, unfortunately, we are being lead by grifters creating a society of grifters i.e. the future generation is learning the lesson that the way to get ahead is by grifting.

    I know this is gonna sound dramatic but if it keeps going? We’re looking at apocalyptic outcomes for the future of civilization.

      the future generation is learning the lesson that the way to get ahead is by grifting.

      So basically how it always was?

      There’s a reason why there are billionaires…

      But yeah it’s likely getting worse, like an elite and otherwise brain-dead propaganda following society (to exaggerate a little bit…). Initially after reading Adorno years ago, I never thought that the rather negative way he wrote, and something like the third Reich will not happen again, yet here we are repeating mistakes, fueled by accelerating climate-change (and the resulting conflicts)…

      We are leaving (or rather have left) the most peaceful era of humanity, back to smashing each others heads without a real reason, leaving a more positive holistic utopian future… Sad.
