I think it might be healthy to just resign myself to the reality that we will continue to drown in stupidity. I look at the world around me and I think this. I look on the Internet and I think this. Even on SN while not as bad, it's here too.
Thankfully it's not completely dumb but it does seem to be getting worse.
Maybe I just need a vacation
I think you know. I don't need to provide examples. Even among those that seem intelligent.
start swimming against the tide of stupid in order to catch the wave of higher awareness; as u think, so it will be; accepting deterioration as the default of current conditions will let more deterioration happen in your life as well as in the world at large; people collectively create the conditions they have to live in/with;
masters of thot, care, & action do not get swayed by the tides, they put in the hard work intelligently and ride the waves;
