People underestimate how much this statistic affects the creative output and social dynamics of a culture.

No, you aren’t just getting disillusioned and jaded, our culture actually is becoming more socially ossified and less creative.

There’s a reason people seem kinda stuck on the cultural artifacts of the late 20th century. There’s also a reason the 60’s introduced so much social and philosophical change.

We’re all old and there’s less youthful creative energy to spare.
