-Instant information. The distracted masses are given less and less to think about. Quick information without substance. Think social media.


-The truth is mailable. With instant information comes "fake news" and truth that is easily manipulated to fit a particular narrative. This is all around us today.


-Empty dumbed down entertainment. Books and shows with substance have been replaced with heavily manipulated "reality shows" with no intelligence or meaning.
