Unfortunately what we are seeing is
since the advent of portable information tech,
a 24hr news cyxle becomes possible and the entire population is exposed to propaganda all the time.
I take your point about the pendulum cycles,
but there isn't really any precedent for this.
Certainly, having a phone with access to all the world’s information that’s connected everywhere you are…
Game changing and unprecedented.
We’re learning the power and pain points of this tech. But we’re pushing onward while adapting.
It appears real wealth is opting out of this whole mess and returning to humble, off-grid, self-sustaining lands and lifestyles with small communities.
But everyone gets there in their own time.
Agree that the ultimate solution is return to localism for sure 👍
But I'm afraid in the short term (next 100yrs or so) we're going to see authoritarian control over populations that don't have the skills to process and analyze the information they're fed.
I opt out.
Continuing to improve and aspiring to become ungovernable 💪🏿
