It couldn’ta happened to a nicer buncha people…

Society is accelerating so fast that it is becoming humanly impossible to keep up with current events, politics, trends, new language fragmentation, technological advancements, much less familial and social obligations. These are workings and connections that civilize civilization. Diversity of experience, the chance to relax, breathe deep, and drink in all that is ours.

This faster pace makes it difficult for the average person to be humanely and societally well rounded, involuntarily forcing all to choose their own slice of reality. Fragmentation leads to collective isolation and objectification of others, stretching the spectrum of acceptable moral behavior to progressively inhuman standards.

Behold us, the new barbarians.
