A distressing number of people seem to have inhibition problems.
A further distressing number are narcissists.
We shouldn’t be surprised though, that’s exactly how they were programmed. The more it became acceptable to pander to our baser instincts, the more profitable it became and the more profit driven concerns did it. The more screen time we had in our upbringing (back when we called it ‘tv’) the more likely we are to have taken on the programming of exceptionalism and decide that what’s good for everyone isn’t what’s good for us.
I don’t necessarily think it was planned that way, but the people who thought that it might be the result were relegated to the fringe.
