Inflection point

When you remove objective truth from the equation you realize just how truly unwell the general population is. Their gullibility shocks us and suddenly family members cannot be reasoned with because they have gone down some frightful rabbit hole. Of course we give everyone a vote which even the American founding fathers were dubious of since they realized not everyone was wise enough to use it correctly. Never mind that women or the black population (who were then slaves) need not apply.

The world is in crisis at the moment and history will repeat itself in that this flux will resolve itself only through the ingestion of some radical medicine. Since people do not react altrustically in sufficiently large numbers to make needed changes, we invite disasters to do it for us. Then the good people will come along and pick up what is useable among the ruins to build anew.

Public intellectuals all agree that we are headed for an adjustment with the only question being when and we are seeing forces working behind the scenes towards a desired world order. Authoritarians are preaching about defeating "Wokeism" which is really code for stopping the people who want to dismantle their free market capitalist orgy.

In the meantime we distract ourselves by listening to idiots like Joe Rogan or Russell Brand who wax conspiratorial at this point in our history as grift to line their pockets. Otherwise we simply stare at our social media feed for an bigger slice of banality. Somehow the pursuit of ideas for the greatest public good has been lost in the shuffle in favor of agendas being defended and promoted which only benefit the few but we're all in too much of a stupor to notice.
