because there wasn't the consensus when Gen Z, who are currently in ascendancy on the internet and have the most time on their hands and the most screens in front of them, because there wasn't a agreed upon, this is what the future is going to be like, plus probably a little bit of a golden era-ish, back end of the golden era for us, where questions weren't really being asked, I guess, living standards kept on...

Living standards... Living standards kept on rising.

And...

That plus the fact that they control through any infinite number of previous potential solutions to worlds that had similar problems where there wasn't an outcome defined, this is the direction for the economy, for politics, for social cohesion, etc.

This has meant that

People have a question and a fuck ton of answers, and they're now trying to retrofit one of an infinity of answers, plus ones that they can create and mutate from existing answers into the question, which is still as yet non-complete.

Is that a fair way to assess it?

How so?

Where paleo is a prefix for... Honestly, dude, it would not have surprised me if you said, this is a wing of conservatism which is based fundamentally around your diet.

Like, it's based around what you eat.

You should be eating mostly whole grains, meats, fruits, nuts, and some tubers.

And if you do that and you're sort of right of center, you're a paleo conservative.

Oh, is it?

Okay, that's cool.

That's a good one.

Good advice, yeah.

Um...

Holy shit.

The context window that you need to keep in your mind to hold all of this shit together.
