Seriously, that is over-the-top. We are all retreating into little bubbles of self-concern.

I belong to a.. I don't know what you'd call it... a program, a webpage, a way of life... which used to be called "Optimize" (which I liked ) and now it's called "Heroic" which seems a little overblown to me, but whatever, it's still the same principles and programs which I have benefited from for a number of years. One of their core principles is that we have the opportunity to work towards being "anti-fragile"--which basically means the more life beats you down the higher you rise to the occasion. You condition yourself that way. It feels like the culture is going in entirely the opposite direction, unfortunately.
there are those who predict the “leading your thoughts by your feelings “ way we have been interacting with the world is about ready to run out of steam. There are others who say it’s all so broken it ain’t never going to recover. It’s a crazy world.

I think there will be a societal correction and fairly soon ( within 5 years) but it won’t come back to what it was 10-15 years ago, it will be something different. And maybe that’s OK.
