Your airport vignette stands out in a piece chock full of ideas. The passivity of constant screen time is corrosive on multiple levels. It encourages physical deformity in the postures people adapt to keep those thumbs rolling, and it leaves no time or space for contemplation. With constant, curated input, where will the new art, philosophy and inventions come from?

It's all remix and recycled, each time with less understanding and more political compliance.
The Advent of AI (term used very loosely for a neural network approach of pattern recognition) will generate more "art" than people will, going forward.
Look at the output of Dalle2, Stable Diffusion, and Midjourney all of which can imitate styles and reproduce them...
Why would we need new inventions, new art, new philosophy when we're supposed to only live 8 hours at a time, if that, while being slave labor for the cult and renting everything and being so fu(king happy?
Like any tool, or resource, the information on the net can be used to catch food, or catch people, to do good or to do harm. The switch is intelligent discernment, and active participation, versus passive absorption.
One clue to me has been the divide between those who read, as opposed to those who watch. As an avid people watcher, maybe we should relabel it people reading?
A footnote to your opening, my network microsoft (msn dot com)(or as i refer to it the micro soft penis meshwork) has consistently put your emails into my junk folder as well. As an early adopter from when the web was new, and having tried just about all the flashy new and improved mail providers with even less satisfaction, I realize their limitations, and so I have become an adapter and will overcome.
Another great summation to be shared widely, for all those caught in the net.

If you are not one of "those we lost along the way."
