Comment on The West is bored to death

This has been undeniably intentional. I think most agree but the reason isn't clear.

Is this a 'bread and circuses' type thing where they intend to distract us? Revolt against government being prevented?

Is this an 'attention economy' thing? Meta and friends have designed the perfect human trap and nobody like reality anymore?

My personal guess, this is about the next golden age. Automation is going to eliminate factory work. Optimus or boston dynamics will produce the goods. You need an army of bored people to produce the next economy.
