The movie portrays people as mostly being interested in shallow things, such as nudity, sex, entertainment, celebrities.
I think humans are more interested than ever in those things now that we have mobile phones with Facebook and Instagram and tiktok and so on.
Also almost everyone is too tired after work to do something productive with their lives (by system design).
If the TV was bad, the mobile phone is worse. People can’t even sit alone for 5 mins anymore.
These apps also make people very adhd and they can’t focus on anything without needing stimulation. It’s common to no longer be able to watch a movie without wanting to bring up the phone. Or to bring it up in the middle of a conversation.
One could argue it doesn’t make people dumber though… And I guess not. Not dumber, just more unable to be in the moment and feel peaceful.
