Answer 10

Very many of them do. But the momentum of a society trained to focus on distraction, on the next great amusement, on the future, is working against those who get it, see it and want to stand up and say "Hey, wait a minute here..." It's really not their fault, anymore than a hostage is responsible for their own kidnapping.
