Great reflections on tech, with lots of important nuance that is often overlooked.
I think we are in a moment in history where the pendulum has swung away from rationality, especially (but not only) in our thinking around religion and spirituality, and so any effort to assert the importance of rationality, analysis, or language, is a hard sell, as it goes against the vibe.

Yeah - this is an interesting observation. We may be riding the vibe pendulum from rationalism to superstition, and will have to wait for it to swing back to mystery and rationality at some point. I am not advocating for rationalism by any means, only rationality. It's hard to watch even the news without concluding that, whatever the vibe currently is, for a whole lot of people, it ain't rationality.
Especially when the leading edge vector of the situation you describe re rationality is the Orange Oaf who makes a mockery of any kind of rationality every time that he opens his toxic potty mouth.
