⚡️💬 What was the nature of failing societies? Here is what I think ⤵︎

In failing societies, there are a thousand fools for every enlightened mind, and a thousand crude words for every conscious word. The majority always remains ignorant, and the reasonable man is constantly defeated. If you see trivial subjects dominating discussions in a society, and fools taking center stage, then you are in the presence of a very failing society.

For example, songs and meaningless words find millions of people to dance and repeat them, and the singer becomes famous, known, and loved. To the point that people take his opinion on matters of society and life.

As for scientists, writers, independent journalists, etc, no one knows them and no one gives them value or weight. Most people love futility and anesthesia. Someone who anesthetizes us to distract us from our thoughts, and someone who makes us laugh with trivialities, is better than someone who awakens us to reality and hurts us by telling the truth. That is why democracy is not suitable for ignorant societies, because it is the ignorant majority that will decide your fate.

I can't say that to the people around me without immediately coming across as arrogant, which is why I have very few friends as I get older.
