Good joke an' agree fully an' that fee-nomenon combines with the reduced span'o' at'ten-shun (i.e. after ten minutes shun the info!).

All the phone-addicted are' addle-brained (or adderall brained...) an' cain't sit for five minutes without checkin' their d-vices. So overly-stimulated, under-informed, inattentive and now drug addicted (to whatever pills'n'potions they'z shellin' out), the last FEW generations r' royal messes.

And o' course yup, turnin' beauty standards upside down and makin' toddlers sex objects (like in Brave New World) makes pro-creation moot! Thatz wat'cher test tubes 'r fer.

Golly this is mighty dystopian! Folks need to fergit lookin' at camels (or two spirit gender folks) as mates. Camels are fulla good sense, the original preppers! They store water and fat an' kin survive purdy well in draughts n' deserts. They move fast too! (unlike most Amerikans today...) Larn from em' and as with all hooved ani-mules, stay away from their backsides!

My explanation is no return to Eden. Eden you can't go home to again, Eden is now the forbidden fruit for man with no God. No superior to Ego exists then. Absent Christianity no concept of the human person as a decisive and important spiritual category came into existence Thriving in this situation, tastin ​total freedom at last, all knowing Faustian man triumphantly shouts I Not Thou. There is no Higher Principle than appetite. No morality then or sense of norms we assume day to day. Psychology for it's faults has good writing on I and Thou. When the Thou no longer is the I problems emerge since there is no master over man but nature since there is no Divine.
