Once upon a time, we had tribes.
They lived together, believed in the same things, had the same
language, same problems, etc. Same ethnic, religious, geographic ties.
And so on..
We still have tribes now, but the individuals in these tribes might be
separated geographically by vast differences.
We also have the media, which is a megaphone for issues important to
the tribes - well at least the biggest two, everything else is
marginalized and discredited and looked down upon. It gets even worse
once you're on the internet.
Critical thinking is gone. Fact checking is too time consuming for the
masses. Facts themselves are too easy to hide or distort. There is as
much disinformation as there is information, and its intentional to
continue to perpetuate the system.
I just want a small island with a temperate climate to raise my
mini-tribe. The rest of you can fuck off ;)
Native American Indians did it right, mostly. I wouldn't mind going
back to that at this point. Enjoying nature. Enjoying family. Spending
quality time. The only work to do is the work that has to get done.
I'll figure out spears, I'm okay with bows and good with fire. No more
rat race, no twitter, no CNN/fox, just kicking it with my fam enjoying
flying through the cosmos as insane speeds on this ball of space dust.

handicapped minds are no longer required to hold two conflicting ideas
for the sake of critical thought. All this has devolved a
once-functional society filled with different people who recognized the
value of compromise into a self-centric, personalized hegemony of
detached resonating chambers.
