Modern technology will make life easier. It will spread knowledge to the people and the more informed the people are, the easier life will become.
Isn't that what they say?
So, where are we as we quickly approach the year 2020. What do we have? What has all of this knowledge and technology given us?
The flat earthers
The antivaxxers
The climate change deniers
The right wing racists
Anti immigrationists separatists... despite record numbers of refugees
Half the world living in poverty
The other half suffering an obesity epidemic
Litigious individuals, just for the money
Legislating to the base level, so as to cover our collective liability
Business now being built on lies
Politics now built on lies
The media now built on lies
Advertising now built on lies
Trigger warnings… so precious, even at higher learning institutions
A woman is most likely to be killed by the man who loves her
Men are most likely to die at their own hands
All while the planet is dying...
How did we get so fucked up?
Does anyone else think as a race we are de-evolving?
It reminds me of that old joke, about the sound of Mozart music being played backwards. They hunted around until they found the music was coming from a grave and it was Mozart's grave. They dug it up to find Mozart decomposing.
That is the metaphor I often think about for the world we live in today.
"But Voolfy, it was all so farbulous vunce."
