We can’t exclude the possibility that phones are extremely rapidly (<8 years) transforming human traits.
In parallel, I’m seeing the emergence of a new layer of “bogan millionaires” (that I’m part of): People who shouldn’t reach there so fast, but did it anyway through apps, instagram, stock exchange or bitcoins. There are so many of us that it’s a real danger (or a real chance), it feels like undeserved power for people who didn’t struggle enough to know what a few million dollars really is. It is mostly due to the decentralization of power brought by the internet, but moving masses from learned inability to having some power, while leaving the rest of the population (the good old workers who kept at his work diligently) in the ditch… It may change the face of humanity.
- UnpossibleJim 5y agoWhat's the difference between the "Bogan millionaires" now and the "nouveau riche" of the train barons, telecom barons, wall street millionaires, movie millionaires, textile tycoons, etc. when they were trying to prove themselves to the old monied peoples who brought their spoils from the "old country" or previous generations? It just sounds like a new term for the same unnecessary guilt complex.
