In one way, it has moved more to that individualised perceptive view (as the Buddhists call it).
Previously, people subscribed to a structured system of view. I recall my mother deferring to her religious or political affiliations for her opinions.
But today actually, it has not really reverted to the individual, but rather expanded to a vast array of received views. No one thinks for themself today (what used to be called a 'fee thinker'), they become sponges of whatever passes their eyes or ears. And you would think that would result in diversity, but actually, it has created conformity. Although the brands of view have exploded in diversity, the content has become increasingly homogeneous. Tediously so. Depressingly so. Creativity is now a scarce commodity. Everyone is a mouth of the thousand tentacled beast of inertia.
