My take

[mickd1961]

We are evolving - technologically yes, to the advancement of industries such as health, food production, transport and communications. Culturally/morally - i'm not so sure, we seem to have become more selfish, materialistic, offended and desperate for likes on social media platforms. I'll never be able to fathom how some leaders in this world and the super rich who could end hunger & poverty don't do more to end human suffering.

There’s a massive lack of self evaluation these days WCV.

I include myself in this until very recently, I realised I had become someone I no longer liked.

I’m trying to do better, it’s a pity that others who hold massive power and wealth don’t do the same.

The world is awash with sociopaths and narcissists from top to bottom both in wealth and social standing terms.

Social Media ( in my opinion ) is the driver of this and I believe it’s the worst single tool that’s ever been invented, the work of the devil himself.

Social Media isn't all bad Mick - take institutional child abuse by the Catholic Church and others for example, I firmly believe that it's through the ease by which information can now be shared that these b'stards can no longer hide from the truth.

As for self awareness, you'd have to lay your soul bare on SM to get to the truth of how you're perceived and very few do that so one has to look elsewhere. It leads to what is termed "confirmation bias" due to algorithms and for this it is the worst - take Ukraine for example, the virtue signalling is unbelievable. Unless you're actively helping their cause in some way, putting a flag on your bio is utterly pointless and almost no-one speaks of the very difficult lives ordinary Russian citizens now endure.
