Do you feel that the mass internet changed humanity?

Yes, in a similar way to the telegrapagh. It makes the world smaller and lowers the cost of doing business. Increased efficiency, while not a bad thing, doesnt qualify as a meaningful change. This is a subjective argument.

Ime technologies that have a meaningful change are those fundamentally alter the quality of human existence, and the list is small: Fire, written language, double/triple entry bookkeeping, air travel, atom bomb, pennicilin, are a few.

doesnt qualify as a meaningful change

I find the instantly scalable narratives to be meaningful, but maybe that is because I really dislike what I see the past 15-20 years; subjective as you say.

Neither do I, but I am not black-pilled. The fact that humans are resilient to meaningful changes, imo, is a reason for hope.

I think we just need more optimism ;)
