Instead of politic, all the action now is happening in mainstream culture—which is changing at warp speed.

Culture is often reduced between art and entertainment, with entertainment eating art.

We’re witnessing the birth of a post-entertainment culture.

Move business examples are provided and the scripted series has started to shrink.

In 2024, musicians are actually worth more old than young, dead than alive.

Example of Sony with Michael Jackson catalog.

The new model replacing the cutural food chain is "distraction".

The end goal is addiction.

Instead of movies, users get served up an endless sequence of 15-second videos. Instead of symphonies, listeners hear bite-sized melodies, usually accompanied by one of these tiny videos—just enough for a dopamine hit, and no more.

This is the new culture.

Just listen to the words people use to describe their toxic online interactions: doomscrolling, trolling, doxxing, gaslighting, etc.

This culture brings fun, but not happiness.

Just telling the truth about the dopamine cartel would be a major step forward for the culture in 2024.
