I suspect the hyperactive hivemind culture that's been one result of new technology. Sure, there's a lot more passive consumption going on, but really, what I see is a non-stop communication stream where nobody really gets to that moment to really let the mind rest and get properly bored to put together the bigger ideas.
When I try to isolate, even for a couple of hours, I get criticized by coworkers or my spouse about not responding quickly. So I end up spending my time mostly communicating or trying to get back on track. It's rather sad.
Ideally AI could offload these constant distractions, so unnecessary communications just don't need everyone's immediate response. But, well, I'll believe it when I see it
