Also throw a potential ecological catastrophe in the mix 3) Look in the early/mid seventies around the oil embargo - this is when the cost disease really took off and I wouldn't be surprised if there was some subtle change in mentality that enabled a lot of the things we see now. 2) I think that the majority of people that are not profiting want to stop them, but the boiling frog effect is so slow that few do - and the brave new world is quite good at subduing the fighting spiring and inquisitiveness - think of it that way BG3 that is moving to become one of the highest rated PC games ever is just a basic very good game from the late 90s/early 2000s 1) I think we are in a really bad Nash equilibrium right now - so to change we need a really big external push. Never let a crisis go to waste. And there will be crisis. But it will require the right kinds of people to be near the power levers.

Are you open to the problem being "you"? Not just you specifically, but you, me, and every individual who lacks the connection to self, morality, true knowledge? And with that, are you (and by extension), all people ready to do the inner work to self govern, and make right choices in the absence of an external motivation?

  Of course it's me. But I am just a dwarf standing on the shoulders of the giants before me. I think that communism real world performance destroyed in a lot of people the idea of greater good existing at all. So after it's fall we kinda lost the ability to unite for but mostly retaining the ability to unite against. On a larger scale the only thing that unites people is common enemy.
