Excellent post and very thought provoking. I personally have always viewed apathy as the problem of the individual...not society... but I suppose if you have an 'apathetic society' this could go rather badly for those who live in the community.
This Steemit communty is starting to suffer from apathy when a quality, thought provoking post can only garner ONE vote ....
LOL well to be fair, this really was my first post. I don't expect to have thousands of followers/interactions within the first week of participating on the steem platform.
Apathy is an individual problem, however once it begins to infiltrate culture and general demeanor it almost acts like a virus in my opinion, spreading rapidly usually among youth. This breeds a societal catastrophe, and I think we're already beginning to see such effects in the millennial and Z generations.
It'll be interesting to watch events unfold within the next 30 years or so.
Please dont mention the dead generation... {sulk} millenials are dead to the world. If it is not digital .... it is not real.
