I noticed something that troubles me a little when it comes to general discussion about the direction of humanity. One thing I notice is that if you talk about anything related to any problem with any aspect of society, you're being political, and many lose interest in going any further in that discussion - Even if the conversation has nothing to do with political figures or parties, or ideas. And I notice many people posting things like, "I don't usually talk about politics or anything", or "I try to avoid getting into politics".
If society wants to avoid future problems, it seems mandatory that we have discussions about how to improve as a species. To condition ourselves to avoid talking about the things that directly affects our lives seems so dangerous for future outcomes. And yes, discussing politicians, and political parties can be awful, but its necessary to address it - not the myriads of happenings in the political world, but about getting them the fuck out of our lives (at least those of us who do want them out of our lives)! Nowadays, people are even looking for all sorts of new methods of getting "high", like drinking a bunch of anti-diarrhea medicines n shit - which I find in a lot of ways to be directly related to the way the public deals with the everyday stress with having to live an imposed society. They'd rather do that than have a discussion.
If society can go every single day enjoying their various lifestyles and entertainments, how come it seems like some people look like they're in pain if you try to get them to think about a serious subject matter? Their brows furrow, they look like they smelled something bad, or deeply confused as if its the very first time they've ever had the conversation? People spends hours, upon days upon months with their minds involved in all sorts of things that have nothing to do with improving our overall relationship with each other and the earth - why cant many even have a conversation about something real for even 5 minutes without a complete shut down? Its as if people are now conditioning themselves to not have an interest in the things that control our lives, and with that in mind, its no wonder you don't see much unity, much positive thinking, or much interest in getting rid of ideas that harm overall public health.
