I think this means we’ll experience a sense of amnesia looking back to this period from the future. Since writers are underinvesting in enduring responses to the here-and-now. Normally that quadrant if 2x2 contains most of the mass.

Tradition perpetuation has bigger problems than people not writing enough in that quadrant. The underlying institutional landscape of traditions is itself under existential threat.
