asked:
why now? why didnt the social heat death of humanity happen ten years ago, or fifty, or two hundred?
answered:
Increased communication technology increases the speed at which entropy devours new things, and increases the baseline level of entropy new things begin at.
The heat death of civilization couldn’t happen before Twitter, but Twitter can’t be un-invented.
Twitter can’t be un-invented, but it can go bankrupt and from what I hear, may do just that. And the backlash is still brewing everywhere. Deconversions are generally permanent.
