There's also the fairly strong possibility that they don't want a new reality and instead are doing everything that they can do to return to the old ways. Cognitive dissonance can take a huge mental toll. A surprising amount of the global population flat-out doesn't like to learn and adapt to changing circumstances. 🤷‍♂️

 True enough. Or these forward thinkers will be ignored almost completely. A bit of both most likely. 🤔 A type of societal based modernistic natural selection.
