the rise of content is a symptom of humanity’s pursuit of efficiency

i was having a lot of internal battles about the purpose of life on an individual scale, but also on a utilitarian scale. i don't think i have a full grasp on that yet, but an interesting thought came out of it. though it may be wrong: the rise of content is a symptom of humanity's utilitarian pursuit of efficiency. to be fully fair to the subject, a lot of other factors apply to the rise of content, but here i just want to point a light at the direct link between content and efficiency. the idea of leaving the world better than you left it has been a tale as old as time. through that ideal, and the passions of those who may not have upheld that ideal, efficiency was pursued across generations. from the wheel, time spent surviving turned into time spent consuming. entertainment was born, at every step, more and more people had time to fill, and the market demand to fill that time grew. as humanity progressed through time, it began to need to fill that time by itself without anything else to threaten it. the pursuit of art and eventually entertainment slowly filled that void. the trifecta of the creation of value, the rise in population, and the efficiency boom created an incentive to spread ideas and art across a vast population. and content is born. as efficiency increases, the societal need for content will increase. increases in efficiency may come from any discipline on any scale, but where it goes, content will follow.
