Is the world crazier?

Consider the state of the world over the span of your coherent memories. Is it crazier, or is it the same old crazy in new packages?

  • Over our memories? Crazier; over the past 100 years? Regression nearly complete.

  • I keep seeing shit repeat that I've already seen before. Just... louder.

    So much louder.

    But then my question becomes... is it actually louder, is it just that I wasn't as 'plugged-in' as I am now, or is the problem just that the internet allows the crazy shit to spread faster than efforts to mitigate it?

  • The media and modern telecommunications (Internet, social media) a key contributor to the crazy. Hard to say if the media is just the megaphone and it's always existed, or if it is so much worse because of it. Chick and egg.

  • Things seem crazier to me, but I distrust my perception.
