I think its cultural. Disrespect has become normalised as part of
"fast paced modern life". If we give toddlers a TV or tablet to play with instead of attentive
parenting they grow up with damaged attachment patterns. We stop them
playing outside and interacting with other children. They go through
metal detectors to attend hostile schools in a locked-down environment
and communicate only through text messages. They are watched night and
day by CCTV cameras. They're made to feel ashamed of simply existing
because they're using up air and "killing the planet". Do this for 20 or 30 years and we have a generation of timid, avoidant
people with no interpersonal skills who as Julia Roberts' character in
Sam Esmail's new movie "Leave the World Behind" puts it just "hate
other people". And then we use dating apps that reduce other humans to a dismissibe
swipe. Those are our peers today. We treat each other like machines
and mutual threats, because that's all we've ever experienced. Is it any wonder that people in companies are too terrified to engage
in a risky human-human interaction? |
