The mind's average cognitive capacity and attention for sampling the data evolved over generations, and it did so in a slow, linear manner. The exponential growth of information technology that surrounds us today with fast, ever-increasing amounts of available data, proportionally widens the diversity of individual unique samplings of reality. This leads to a general empathic apathy and creates the perfect setup for high level competing societies to easily manipulate others, thus silently contributing to more superficiality and polarization. Several recent studies have shown that trust is eroding on a global scale - this is the social parallel to the global warming crisis. On an individual scale, studies also show that the empathy deficiency is linked to increased levels of anxiety, loneliness and an overall decrease in reported health and happiness.  All these should be challenging us to find a way to counterbalance the rising detrimental global culture of polarization with a culture of shared rationality.
