 For influencers, they profit by complaining. They don’t want a real solution because then their midwit audience revenue would dry up. Tons of big names are susceptible to it. Brand, Rogan, Greenwald, Tucker, JBP, Weinsteins, on and on. Instead it’s all about “rebuilding institutions”.

For general public, they also don’t want a real solution because of extreme nihilism. Hope is vulnerability. Easier to be paranoid schizophrenic.
