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.

intelligence no longer becomes necessary. Our 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.

Even if we can't be friends will you folks at least still offset my
incompetence?
