Could be - which comes from fiat money eh?

Nah. Tech transforms us. It accelerates everything and clashes with biological tendencies & modalities (which evolve and adapt over much longer time frames). Consumerism is of course a huge issue too, and we know why. Fiat money bla bla bla. But tech has a bigger impact. People think money printing for example fucked everything up in 1971. Sure. It had an impact. But you know what had a bigger negative impact on society? The pill. Less than a decade beforehand. Same in 2010 with the proliferation of the smartphone. And later social media. Not saying we need to go Amish. But these things have a way bigger impact than simple consumerism (consumerism is an accelerant)
