Yes it is. Very profound.
That’s the future.
I fear you may be correct. Years ago I read a brilliant essay that I think was written by this guy, but which I have been unable to find for awhile, which said something to the effect of "things go until they can't."
It's premise was that society will go along making changes, until it's made enough bad changes that it collapses. It never backtracks and corrects a previous change that turned out to be bad, it just keeps going along with all the changes until it is incapable of functioning.
That might be because once you give it away, you can't take it back. Like good old fashioned morality...and treating your neighbor as you would like your neighbor to treat you.
All that boring, old fashioned stuff that made us a civilized culture. Get a haircut, get a job, don't be a parasite...dead and gone, never to come back.
