We have failed, as a people, as a nation, as an economy, as a world. We have failed in every way possible - including our ability to recognize this.
The one exception is the Phone (or perhaps the Laptop) that people turn to for reassurance that things are going all right.
And, of course - pain-killing (but addictive) drugs. Failure is painful, especially if it is not recognized. People know something is wrong with them, but they are not allowed to see what that is.
Everyone is saying (over and over) "Everything is OK!" When just the opposite is the case.
In a way, their confidence in in the Computer, and its Software, is well-placed - they have been improved immensely. But this powerful new tool can be turned against us - and frequently has been.
We need to recognize this, but we cannot - if we have been forbidden to.
