I think we've become increasingly anti-human. Everything must be monetized and transactional including basic interactions. We argue that everything has a cost instead of growing the pie.

To be human is to be connected in our shared humanity. Instead we build walls or worse, fail by default design to build 'connections' between us and prefer to insulate and isolate ourselves in socio-economic psychological safety.

My belief is a lot of this can be traced back to bonkers and completely discredited theories like social Darwinism, behaviorism, post Keynesian Economics. Mix those in with greed, cold war nihilism, and various ethno-supremacist ideologies and here we are.
