      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 …

      "Rapid change means we can’t just listen to parents or sages. Nor can we just follow every new fad: most are pre-failure experiments and many were crafted to benefit others at our expense, memetic boarders who must repelled lest they sink our mental ship." #MySecretWritingProject

      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...

      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.

      Faster change comes from accumulating capital & technology. Like most things about the world, it is caused by processes, not people.
