For the first time in human history, not in a generation, not in a decade, but right now, in real time, adults are not arriving ahead of children. They are arriving alongside them. Shaped by the same systems. Pulled by the same currents in architecture that was never designed to slow us down, never built to make us think, only to make us respond.
The algorithms did not come for the young first. They came for all of us.
What they have levelled is not just our attention. What they levelled was the very ground that wisdom is supposed to stand on. The hard-won understanding that a parent, a teacher, a community elder was meant to carry ahead. That understanding does not seem to be surviving the feeds.
