If you, as an information consumer, wanting a deeper understanding of the world you live in, so as to have a chance to make good decisions, both personal, and public, were to be given a constant diet of such insanely divergent points of reference that, in its total gestalt of ongoing effect, where to be as suggestive of a kind of collective schizophrenia as this ought to suggest, what do you think would be the overall result?
Oh. Of course. The insane world we actually have now, but can't actually perceive correctly (in any kind of integrated, holistic way). Well... That explains a lot, or would if people could stop doing the crazy churn of what has become of "business as usual." Because we're all so caught up in the crazy, just trying to get by, as it were, that we're all on a kind of automatic pilot, doing what we've always done because nothing else has a chance to click in for a better chance to provide active, real time, cognitive control.
Doesn't bode well for anything good to come of it that I can see. That's all I can say. You are the ones making the big choices now, though. If you do not wake up soon there will be nothing to wake up to.
[Change Note: I didn't put the links in like I normally do because seeing this kind of disconnect continue, as an ongoing tide, or current, you might say, tends to have an effect on one. I just needed a while to walk it off. J.V.]
The World Is Better Than Ever. Why Are We Miserable?
