Cultural knowledge (evolved rules for operating in an environment) depreciates as the environment changes. Today's world changes so fast that our cultural infrastructure has been depreciated to almost zero, which causes many social ills.https://twitter.com/patrissimo/status/1021929025252425728 …
The costs of having no old adapted rules to follow are most easily born by the cognitive elite, who have the time & ability to sort through @tferriss, @lifehacker, etc. for new rules. The masses can't do this, and so suffer deeply. Religion contains vast, deep wisdom, but...
Our ancient playbooks from wise desert nomads have no simple rules for avoiding opioid addiction, staying thin in a world where poison is labeled as food, navigating a totally screwed up dating environment. And the poor can't improvise life rules from scratch.
Hence rapid environmental change raises the bar needed to live a good life (from "just follow the old rules" to "comb through the last decade of self-help to find the new rules"). This makes life harder for those who already struggle the most. Brutal.
Meanwhile, the leverage available to those who can adapt has never been greater. Hence, massive inequality.
This is why I cheer for groups like @nofap, @orderofman, and @jordanbpeterson, who are crafting modern rule sets for mass appeal. (Like a cultural food stamp program).
In summary: The cultural knowledge deficit is yet another hidden liability in our infrastructure, caused by our environment of rapid change, and which harms the most vulnerable. (Adapted from an unreleased essay on "Modernity, Maladaptation, and Inequality.")
