The promise of prosperity sounds like a long con these days.
Science was the gateway for prosperity and hope and now it seems only to deliver bad news.
Here is what the tech and science crowd is projecting these days:
You are no longer the center of the universe, you are infinitesimal and unimportant.
Everything you do is destroying life in someway.
There is no meaning; everything you believe was wrong and misguided.
The world is capricious and your personal security can change at any moment no matter how hard you work. Adapt or die.
Most of humanity is too dumb to understand how great this is!
Who wants to hear that?
The average Joe has lost all faith, so in order to cope they drop all pretense of rational behavior and go with what feels good at the moment.
