This thread is not for geniuses. It is meant for mediocrities leveraged by and leveraging, systems. I think I'm going to call it "Intelligence Communism" just to trigger people. Lestrade mode.

A megatrend hypothesis inspired by several microtrend that I think are related: a) waldenponding b) rise of heavy duty information management methods like @fortelabs BASB (build a second brain) c) conversational media eating authorial media d) "hivebrain" jokes/references

I'll add some framing meta-thoughts. Choosing to live in a GSCITC over waldenponding (an admitted caricature of the extreme opposite) is like choosing to live in a city over a log cabin. At some level you admit that you're better at surviving in an advanced collective context.

It took centuries, but our identities are no longer tied to being literal breadwinners as in hunting/farming. We're happy to re-anchor bread-winning ego/vanity to earning tokens (money) in an artificial economy. There was a time when earning $ was not unlike earning likes today.
