i think of it as an information systems phenomenon
once the amount of entropy in the system falls low enough (ie, original ideas) bullshit piles on top of bullshit until it's just a giant bullshit cake and the inevitable disaster occurs because the adults have left the room
i don't think i can emphasise this strongly enough, narcissism and psychopathy are based on a trauma inverted neuropathy during the social bonding process prevocal infancy, and the behaviours of psychopaths are infantile and promoting infantile behaviour is a key phenomenon you will notice
or like i say, eventually all the adults leave the room and it degenerates into idiocracy and cannibalism
we are very close to the point where there is no entropy left in the system and it by necessity will implode, and all the people who thought it would be "cool" to be decadent will be consumed in the black friday stampede to get the last of the real things
it's not a matter of if, but of when, because once the emotional babies determine the culture there is no more culture
