You sound like that's a bad thing

Just kidding. What else is there? Your questions remind me about a New Age guy I read about. He had a big realization when he had the flu. None of the people he chanted with, talked about ideas with, theorized with, none of them brought soup like his neighbor downstairs did. And so he changed his ways and friends.

I read about this on another thread. It could well be a serious commentary about social structures, technology, dependence, what it means to live, to risk, etc. Like, as we become more educated (in a general global sense), i.e. more aware of consequences of actions, there is a willingness to play it safer, live physically forever, risk vicariously through others.

It could be the types, too. It takes all kinds, but basic humanity is something worth considering IMO.

I think that you are right. As we learn more and get into things more as time pass by we tend to be conformists. That is not a bad thing per se but as we are not developing our spirituality and our soul we slowly and actually decay instead of growing.

We should rethink our priorities or face consequences...
