You can look at it like this:
We went from the archetype of:
"Thank God, I found the food that'll keep me alive for the week."
To
"Damn it, I hate this, why is delivery taking so long?"

The collective intelligence is so interesting because it can be a source of 1)inspiration, 2)inferiority or 3)complacency.
Some will say, look at this collective effort, it's great, I need to be a part of it.
(Inspiration)
Others will say, what the hell can I add if all this…
Somebody's problem by Morgan Wallen is such a deep song on the nature of relationships.
He starts off being all romantic, but then he says:
"Somebody's problem is about to be mine"
Implying that everyone has some kind of fear of commitment no matter how much they "like…
It takes wisdom to recognize wisdom.
So no matter how much someone has of a certain good quality,

It's so difficult to focus on what really matters in life, *in the present moment*.
& so easy to fall prey to the exclusive mental masturbation of hindsight.

The default condition of the human is opend-ended, unbounded interest.
Which is why aura & chemistry between humans,
transcends anything we describe as "similar interests" or whatever.
