I remember the 2010-2015 as a more optimistic time but a more vapid and materialistic time.
Reality TV was all the rage.
Why did TV become so dumb during that time period?
Society seemed more conformist too. A lot of men were into excessive exercise and the women into extreme dieting. Expressing intellect seemed to be shunned.
It seemed like before 2014 that society thought that people who watched fantasy themed shows and "Battlestar Galactica" were seen as "People who lived in basements" but since "Game of Thrones" and the MCU blew up the stigma seemed to be erased virtually overnight.
It seemed like during that time period society largely stopped dreaming about space travel and the future.
Did materialism distract society from being inspired to work for a futuristic future?
Did conformity stop society from achieving it's intellectual potential?
Was it the 2008 financial crash that caused a lot of American society to struggle?
Or was it all of those factors?
