Beige Thinking

Homo sapein sapein has made amazing leaps in the last 6000 years.  The rate of innovation in modern times is nothing less than astonishing. In the internet age a full technology cycle is now somewhere around 3 years. So much of this advance happened in western countries but somewhere in the last 10 years a fascinating new influence has infiltrated its way into western nations, including Australia. This influence has acted to suppress innovation, to deride original thought and to suggest instead that watching other people living in a house or fighting to rise to supremacy on a desert island is actually more enjoyable than learning, listening to music, reading a good book or spending time with good friends.
