The new dark age of man is upon us. Is technology at its base? Though I'm kind of a techie geek, I don't know, but... Are we taking mental shortcuts to opinion? Are we taking quickie paths to comprehension. Are we taking easy steps to problem solving?
Technology has reached far beyond the ordinary person's ability to understand it, its basis and its implications. This engenders a basic insecurity in the mental systems of humanity, politics, religion, and science. It goes much deeper, way beyond technology. When there is no firmament of comprehension, other tools are in play.
Perhaps this is driving the religious right, cult-type movements, the slavish adherents of left, and in general all fundamentalist type movements. Each has the common quality of wanting, desiring, and needing something simply framed to follow.
The suspension of understanding has been achieved. Folks can now barrel headlong into anything, such as literal biblical teachings, literal leftist teachings, literal conservative teachings, all without the any need for intellectual comprehension. Folks can now barrel headlong into any type or any form of understanding, logical, emotional, intuitive, and all. Moreover, it is now OK to do so. There is no shame in the lack of reflection. There is no shame in adapting a fully new philosophy of living with little more consideration than believing "it is right, or it is just, or it is obvious, or it is NOW, or it is finally here."
Since little is even intuitively understood with any grasp of comprehension, all things can be interpreted without logic. Belief and emotion rule, though all is dressed up in lawyer-ly argument . The alternative to understanding, logic and reason, has evaporated. Belief/emotion is much more flexible than logic, and is far more flexible than reason, axioms, argument, and all. Belief is the ancient and new underpinning of our understanding. Emotion compels us to new directions, and is the faux understanding of our day.
There are two you's. The one of all the ages where you interpet what you see as ordinary objects, and the other is the new you where things you do and can do have no basis in reason.
The human psyche seem to have these two complementary/contradictory systems to keep its sense of balance and mental stability.
Please. Is there another interpretation?

There may confusion with that which is new being regarded as that which is true.
Ideas without a timeline are mostly temporal.
