Beware the Illusion of Instant Gratification

Secularism often overlooks the internal subjective nature of faith in its choice architecture, focusing on external participation in society. Technological advancements, especially post-Industrial Revolution, have filled gaps traditionally filled by faith, offering efficient solutions to basic needs without reliance on spiritual practices. The rise of modern tech and social media has drastically impacted attention spans, exemplified by apps like TikTok, which reinforce a constant present by promoting rapid, microformative experiences. This focus on the immediate undermines the pursuit of a broader, divine societal vision, confining awareness to a limited, surface-level engagement with reality.
