Before smart devices, the man the subject and the tool was the object.
You took the phone and dial a number.
Now the phone speaks to us and tell us what to do.
Now the smart tool is the subject and we are the objects

The psyche executive function means that you can start task and finish them.
Some religions with rituals , and strict discipline can improve the executive function of believers making them more successful, enriching the cult and expand it.
In the fight between orgiastic Rituals of Bachus and Christian austerity. The last one won, because it increased self discipline and executive function of the believers.
Such religions who improve their human resources, have greater succes and survive the clergy corruption.
After the corrupt clergy is removed, usually by the grim reaper, in the church body you have enough competent leaders to replace them.
Religions who cannot improve or expand by conversion the human resources pool, die.
That's why religions who use fanatics for self sacrifice, are self limiting and finally die.
Have you tried to change opinions of a religion person ?
You can't, because he/she is defined by his/het role his/her habits.
Your arguments against his religion attack the core of identity and you are rejected.
That's why during communist time, we regimented and we wore uniforms, to have the identify of a young communist engraved.
That why Americans out posters with their candidates in their lawn.
Their identity is manufactured to be democrat, republican, MAGA or LGBTQ.
These divisions are used to control.
Other countries with older identities , have their identity highjacked, like Germany in the '30.
There the nationalism is used to control.
This doesn't work in USA, but it works very well the division.
Since Epstein scandal, every video related to this, has a recommendation for analysis of 'Eyes wide shut' Video. Usually they focus on analysis of ritual and the orgy.
But what is interesting is confrontation between Victor Ziegler and Bill Harford the doctor.
The friend and pacient Victor is revealing that is in the leadership of a cult.
He tries to discourage Bill to dig deeper.
He starts by threats: "You wouldn't sleep at night if you knew who these people are"
Continue by deceits: "It was a hoax , directed at you"
It finishes by minimisation: "it was just a hooker, you said yourself, that it will end like this [dead by an overdose]"
In the Kirk assassinatiin it is the same but they skip the first part, the narrative jumped to deceit
"It was just a fake, the assassin didn't have weapon, he wasn't on the roof. They took the wrong guy. It was a plot".
Then now they go to minimisation:
"Kirk was a fringe right, we was pro gun, white supremacist, Tyler was just a gamer with social problem with a trans boyfriend "
All this is just to stop searching for the truth.
I heard very often the argument, only if we had education we would not have right wing extremism.
Osama Bin Laden was a well educated man from a wealthy family, yet a known terrorist.
Nazi and communists had educated elites.
Economy is more important.
Without WW1, Russians would not have overthrown the Czar and allow rise of Bolshevik.
Without economic crisis that fringe Hitler wouldn't gain popularity.
The second factor that is important is ethics, people should share common humanistic values, not tribalistic values like if it is done by my people is good if it is done by your people is bad.
This descent in tribalism is obvious in US and it is accelerated by MAGA and Trump personality cult.
The killer of Charlie Kirk was caught. Exactly like the other two guys who tried to assassinate Trump: he is white conservative.
Prior to the arrest, all the right wing outlets spread the falsehood that it was a trans woman who was responsible.
From what I know I don't know of any plot against republicans, by trans, Latinos or Haitian.
People who were vilified by Trump.
But we have 3 assassination attempts from his support demographic: white conservative, supporters of second amendment.
Do you think that Trump should change his stance and condemn white conservative as well ?
Why rich people buy expensive cars, mansions, throw big weddings?
An Indian steel producer spend 100 millions $ on his daughter wedding, while he saved money by not buying air filters on its steel factory.
Bezos made bargain with his 20 millions wedding.
And not only rich people.
A manager who barely used Excel had the best computer from the team while developers had inferior ones.
It seems that everyone who rises in the hierarchy starts spending.
For a while Christianity kept in check those behaviors, it was drowned upon.
Western monarchs are more discrete than their middlea eastern counterparts
Maybe we should replace status symbols in our societies to avoid ruin
