Everywhere there are specific and concerted efforts to destroy people’s focus, memory, and capacity to see how reality differs from externally generated fantasy. This doesn’t have to be done on purpose. The logic of class interest operates outside of conscious goal-setting. You can monetize your focus like never before because it’s becoming a rare commodity. This dictates the tilting of reality towards an erosion of focus because that makes it more precious.
The disciplinarian society is gone. Nobody will be forcing us to develop good memory and stay grounded in reality. These tasks have become privatized.
