I think you’re underestimating the intelligence of average people. There’s definitely a lack of knowledge, but average people are plenty smart to invent everything you’ve listed. It just takes time and is an iterative process.
Damn, I’m glad you made this comment as that is an amazing gif;
Definitely yes, but like all philosophies your understanding will develop as you age and your perspective changes.
Consider the book Happy by Deren Brown. It’s a great summary of Ancient philosophies and then a good ‘entry level’ introduction to Stoicism.
I’m hoping RCS’ burgeoning ubiquity on Android breaks some of the walls down in Europe, at least.
Yup, hard agree with you on that last point.
That’s an interesting example, but note that in Europe, at least, WhatsApp is king. I only mention it because the walled-garden approach Apple favours isn’t necessarily a guaranteed outcome, and third-party apps can happily become the norm among non-tech people.
I mean, they have their flaws and show their age a bit. But fundamentally, they’re still very enjoyable sci-fi with entertaining characters and some great imagery.
I’m a big fan. I read Nights Dawn trilogy as a young teen and absolutely loved it. Recently re-read it and really enjoyed it , again.
I can’t help but love flip phones, but definitely wouldn’t go near the folding-screen variety for a lot of generations. I hope one day to have something as robust as the old dumbphones.
For some reason, I appreciate that you’re not working towards one specific word from the start but slowly narrowing down the “available words” until one fits.

I’m sure it’s used elsewhere but it may also simply be a conflation of the two.
