We are facing Loki due to populism, Thanos due to climate changes, Ultron due to automation. We don't have Avengers, just some number crunching high brass bureaucrats.
George Lucas says movie studios have become too reliant on focus groups:
“The audience doesn’t know what they want to see. If they don’t like a character, that’s interesting, and as a filmmaker I want to find out why. But when the studios hear that, they take the wrong message. They let the audience actually make the movie… now they go crazy with that.
“Now, it’s all about what the fans think. That isn’t how you make the movie. You make a movie by finding someone that knows how to make movies, that has a story to tell and is passionate about it. You go to the movies because the stories move you emotionally.”

The reason behind the ongoing exponential rise of inflation, is that the human labor is not in the productive sector anymore but in service sector. The prices of commodities are not being determined and limited by production. Hence the free-falling unbridled rise of prices.
It is simply visible that capitalism cannot hold back complete automation. Which then renders human labor ineffective. And since labor determines price then everything becomes free. Capitalism ends. Then what? No one is being paid to figure that out.

I have lost track of which circle of hell we are in. People in their twenties perpetually feel the end of their life. While the Uber rich are perpetually rejuvenating. The population demographics are off. There is a looming crisis about which we have zero inkling.
Today's generation (millennials) are full of resentment, helplessness and guilt. They are spiritually poisoned, intellectually bloated, morally disoriented, emotionally unstable, economically bankrupt, politically alienated. In shambles. Hopelessness and desolation abound.
