First, put your mind on the vertex of Collective.

The world, societies, communities, used to have all, most or many people focussed on the collective: community health, social structure, guidance & steering, resources, land management, etc.

Now...

All or most of our attention is focussed elsewhere.

Not focussed — diverted, distracted.

Think of the elders, who perhaps were training and guiding the youth. Now, most elders are whiling away their days distracted by tiktok.

We are in a dearth of attention and, although we're starting to feel the effects, the heaviest consequences won't be seen until it's much too late.
