@roamer_1 I agree with you but I'll add that there is something more.
We've been warned that things from the rise of TV ownership to smartphones today, that these would lower our reasoning, our ability to think.
We were forewarned that we would become accustomed to to and, possibly, rejoice in, finding the lowest common denominator.
As long as we have water, power, shelter, Netflix, and a microwave, we are better off than most of the planet, so we dare not question anything outside of our wheelhouse.
We have practiced acceptance so long that it has become 2nd nature.
Ramblin' a bit, I guess.
