Agreed, this has probably been true for fifty years. It is certainly orders of magnitude worse now and getting worse at an increasing rate.

- mikepurvis 6y agoIt's a fuzzy line, though, because abstractions and pedagogy get better over time too, especially for long-standing systems which become increasingly well-understood over time. Basically, I'm saying that the world of 50 years ago is probably much more comprehensible to a highly skilled 2020 human than it was to someone actually living in it. It wouldn't be totally comprehensible to either, of course, but certainly the added context brings a lot of advantages.
