The Abolition of Man by C.S. Lewis.
Call him an amateur philosopher, call him what you want, but everything in this book was long before its time. He tries to boil the problems of the future in relation to philosophy: universalism vs relativism. Looking at today, he is scarily accurate.

>The Crown Colony of Drakia (later, the Dominion of the Draka) is an aggressive militaristic slave-owning society, massively influenced by the inherent racist attitudes of these American slave owner settlers that are allowed to run unchecked, reinforced over the course of the late 18th and 19th century by 25,000 Icelanders fleeing their island after the 1783-84 Volcanic devastation. French royalists, 150,000 defeated American Confederates and other reactionary refugees also emigrate to the colony.
>As Draka social mores diverge more and more from those of free societies (and the Draka are more and more widely hated), they evolve an ideology in which they are "The Race" — the natural overlords of all humanity. Those non-Draka not already enslaved are "feral serfs" who represent a permanent threat to the survival of the Draka. Thus the Draka are dedicated to enslaving all humanity, since the only alternative is the extinction of The Race.

/pol/ is racially aware in a way that will make you uncomfortable. "Reverse racism" doesn't exist and /pol/ will tell you so.
There is only racism.
Strange that you think the race struggle would escape a place infused by it. The main reason people complain about race here is the two-faced system of black supremacy sold by the left.
The fact that they talk about "minorities", but don't give a shit about asians should tip you off that the lefty agenda on race isn't what they say it is.
That they attack whites as the cause of racism in countries that do nothing but bend over backwards to reward the worst performing racial group, again and again, should also give you a clue.

This is a great introduction to what's happening to us cognitively from the time we spend online. It's a big red flag that affects everything we talk about.
In short our brain is very good at adapting, and what we're adapting it to is skimming vast amounts of information for long periods of time - but, we're not reading in depth, or one thing for extended periods.
If you ever watched someone older stop to read every piece of information on a website instead of finding the relevant information in 2 seconds you've seen the difference.
Essentially the new media landscape can explain why people feel less able to read and understand or concentrate over time.
The details are more interesting than I can sum up. The upshot is that we can reverse this process and direct it to a happy medium.

This book is dated by now, dealing mostly in TV and being written before the internet changed everything.
But it ties into this book: >>72031451
It talks about how the medium of TV changed people's culture and how they expect to think about information. Everything became entertainment and presented in an entertainment format.
He draws interesting parallells to what we see here every day; the disconnected pieces of infotainment that you're supposed to be emotional about, but not /think/ about. The vast majority of the information you face daily will never affect your life, or are even things you can do something about.
It's just noise designed to distract and keeps you passive.
