Tribal politics. I don’t know if it already existed, but it seems like in the past 10 years there’s a growing intolerance and outright hatred for people who don’t think or look like us, and it’s prevalent - at least here in the US - among both political parties. And the media is amplifying it 10x because at the end of the day, the most important thing is profit.
And secondly, the rate of growth and change seems to be working us towards a less resilient system overall. As an anecdote, my co workers are all highly paid, but in private conversations - everyone is burned out and cynical, even when the situation doesn’t necessarily warrant the cynicism.
Maybe it’s always been this way, and I’m just now seeing past my own blind spots.
I don’t know what the solution, and if there was one, I imagine it’s be a hard problem to get people to agree to that solution.
