The people are being consumed by the so called "free" entertainment.
But it is not "free". It is dumb and trade-based. TikTok, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter and so forth mandate that you give them your data and attention (watch ads) in order to use their platforms. In return they give you access to a ton of dumbed down content.
Trading stupidity is much easier than trading well made content. Therefore stupidity evolves faster in a trade-based society.
To make a good researched video can take months, to make a dumbed down one can take minutes. To write a good book about real and important things, and research for it, takes months or years. To write bullshit fictional stories takes a lot less. Music, movies, articles, they are all under the influence of trade, allowing simplistic content to thrive while good one to barely breath.
It is this trade based society to be blamed for the vast majority of the destruction, suffering and idiocy we see worldwide.
