When there are too many "symbols" people stop understanding their meanings.
Have you noticed how the volume of information has changed in "recent times"?
The volume of information is growing along with the development of the infrastructure to deliver it.
Has your brain also evolved? No! In such a flow it becomes difficult to understand where the truth is. Information is no longer perceived - the brain is not able to process and analyze so much information.
As a result, people begin to consume the entire volume indiscriminately.
Personalities turn into impersonal masses and the silent majority, a faceless crowd, for which "the powers that be" decide everything. It also complicates the perception of the integrity of reality, and reality itself.
It is replaced by virtual reality - smartphones, social networks, etc.
This is the simple way they make you forget your own history, for example.
And why remember? After all, there are so many interesting things around!
