although I still have no idea what cult or grift stuff you're gesturing at. is anyone making money on anything? mostly it feels like things are just more boring.

why its more boring isnt clear to me. maybe its partly that the noospheric environment has changed, partly compositional effects. also worth noting we've just gotten older.
