The Decline of Institutions

If you agree with everybody, if you agree with mass media, it's like way cooler to be conspiratorial or punk rock or outsidery. Your wealth gives you privilege to go down those rabbit holes and question the logic of mere mortals who don't see the world as clearly as you. And so what you're getting is this weird unholy blend of ayahuasca fake spirituality and conspiracy mindsets together with a certain kind of political bent. I think that massive fragmentation of modern media creates chaos would be my favorite. But I think this is also the decline of institutions in some ways.
