Get a shot of protection
Your choice, your choice, your choice, your choice.
Here in the wind tunnel the fearful forces plot their pattern by proxy and one day you shall know.
Thank you for not smoking.

In those interview they mention that we're due for a change but that it won't come from us but it will be forced on us through external means that would cause societal collapse or wherever it is that we're headed (We're certainly doomed but imo it's more mathematically, we're just not made for this world/equation and its parameters and we'll be gone like many species).
One of those external events is a pandemic. We've had a few of them and it was guaranteed another one would come anytime soon and they were right on the money with this. It's the most likely occurrence of societal change side by side with war because it is a war of some sort. The one type of war that has been present with us since we exist is that of beliefs. This pandemic has certainly been a war of beliefs and 2016 was just the precursor. (Yes I know it's a USA thingy but the world revolves around them sadly.)
This homogenization of people has made it so that people are now very polarized. Society is a cocktail waiting to explode and it's only now starting to boil. Diversity as always been important in nature and I think the most overlooked things about the bros is their attempts to stay as far as possible from this homogenization which is what allows them to have great perspectives like this.
Anyway, Idk what it is I was trying to say I went on a big tangent ... all I wanna say is: I just think they're genuinely smart and it has nothing to do with whatever is responsible for our world or any gut feeling.
Don't be creeped out just because 2 dudes sat around a bonfire and thought about where we're headed. Where we're headed is what should be scary to us.

More than half (52%) of the world’s population is now online, compared to less than 8% 20 years ago; in 2019, more than 1.5 billion smartphones – a symbol and vector of velocity that allows us to be reached anywhere and at any time – were sold around the world. The internet of things (IoT) now connects 22 billion devices in real time, ranging from cars to hospital beds, electric grids and water station pumps, to kitchen ovens and agricultural irrigation systems. This number is expected to reach 50 billion or more in 2030. <...>
We can see velocity everywhere; whether it’s a crisis, social discontent, technological developments and adoption, geopolitical upheaval, the financial markets and, of course, the manifestation of infectious diseases – everything now runs on fast-forward. As a result, we operate in a real-time society, with the nagging feeling that the pace of life is ever increasing. This new culture of immediacy, obsessed with speed, is apparent in all aspects of our lives, from “just-in-time” supply chains to “high-frequency” trading, from speed dating to fast food. It is so pervasive that some pundits call this new phenomenon the “dictatorship of urgency”. It can indeed take extreme forms. Research performed by scientists at Microsoft shows, for example, that being slower by no more than 250 milliseconds (a quarter of a second) is enough for a website to lose hits to its “faster” competitors!<...>
In a famous experiment conducted in 1975, two psychologists found that when we have to predict an exponential process, we often underestimate it by factor of 10.[8] Understanding this growth dynamic and the power of exponentials clarifies why velocity is such an issue and why the speed of intervention to curb the rate of growth is so crucial. Ernest Hemingway understood this. In his novelThe Sun Also Rises, two characters have the following conversation: “How did you go bankrupt?" Bill asked. “Two ways,” Mike said. “Gradually, then suddenly.” The same tends to happen for big systemic shifts and disruption in general: things tend to change gradually at first and then all at once."

Do you think the internet caused this dictatorship of urgency or is it the other way around?

Maybe I'm biased tho because the song brings a tear to my eye.
