People born in the 1900s have a quite coherent shared sense of reality because of the shared media experiences we had.
Much of the present world is inexplicable when measured against this shared understating.
I’m seeing more awareness in the public sphere (social media posts, content, memes) that people are getting the consequences of a fragmented information sphere yielding fragmented realities.
This is a big part of why it feels like everything is changing at once.
