Me too.

I think having read the same books, seen the same movies and news, played similar games, having lived in the same era is only part of it.

Maybe where you came from, where and under what circumstances you grew up, which opportunities and/or (bad)luck you had, where the winds of chaos have blown you, how you were 'driven' to be 'driven' where you landed makes you more detached, or immune to such overgeneralizations, or maybe call it 'cultural' brainwashing?

IOW: There is too much trash in the minds of too many people. Memory leaks. Buffers overflow. Garbage collection is overdue. Or a reboot.

Edit: That's not to be read as an endorsement of the people you mentioned, and their likes. Or that I'd be a fan. Maybe my 'reboot' is useless, too. Because the filesystem is irrecoverably damaged, the hardware underneath has been replaced, and is working different, so a new install of another 'OS' is needed anyways.

Things change faster than tribalistic peoples grasp. Dunbar's Number etc.
