The shame machine has created a disequillibrium, and personally I won't miss it when societies correct. More gravely, I think there is a coming generation of young men who will also wake up one day and say, "I don't need your redemption, it has no value." And like that, they will no longer avoid or deny shame, or be governed by it because redemption is a hustle, the carrot to shame's stick.
When they see that they have been raised and kept in an extended nursery of deceptions produced by subtly fabricated narratives, designed to subjugate their identities and replace the cognitive tools they have for experiencing and understanding themselves with constructions of a simulation, they will also likely discover the power of force. Iterating down that timeline gets really grim, really fast.
We've accumulated a reality-debt, suspended by academia and tech, leaking into appendent institutions like media and government, and the most interesting problem now is how ot unwind it without triggering a chain reaction, imo.
