We've been slowly transitioned from a life of creativism and questioning to a life of consumerism. We're already cretins.

  What else is there to do? Everyone is a creator now, and their creations never go away. Right up until the year 19nntp or so, your written creations were either adding to the world or they went out of print and were forgotten. Until the year 19youtube or so, your musical contributions either added to the world or they went out of production and were lost to the aether. Now, everything is an endless library-cum-sewer filled with content, you can never run out of it, you can't clear out "worse" things, you can't meaningfully filter it - only on a superficial keyword match or vote score. What point is there to be creative to add a drop to this ocean of content? Why be creative when society says the purpose of it is to get followers and extract coins from them, and nothing more?
