HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM - or - GROUND CONTROL, ITS MAJOR TOM. THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG

One of the big problems is the speed at which society moves. For many, they have adapted. But there method of adaptment as been to eliminate the questioning portion of the process. They can merely act on instinct - stimulus/response.

Another problem is the media, and how it operates. In terms of news, it is only natural that because the speed of society is moving quickly, the speed of news would move quickly. Even if it wanted to, it would not have the resources to keep up. Of course that is not its intention. Those awake can see that the media simply acts as Public Relations for corporations. The Film industry is the same way.

Our education system is horrific. It is not about critical thinking, its not about creativity. Its about conditionig. Its about control. Its never so much about any specific ideology, but that it is because it is a specific ideology. It doesn't matter which one. But the opposing ideology is always swept under the rug. The result is simply conditioning to accept authority, a top down view of the world. And slowly over time on a generational scale we are loosing our ability to think critically, we are loosing our creativity, we are loosing our humanity.

Fear is a major driving force behind both the increased speed and shutting down of critical and creative thinking. Our human senses work through registering of change. Its not that we become acclimated, but that we are no longer registering change. This is true with objects that dissapear in your periferal vision if you stare at something. this is true with atmospheric temperature, this is true with smells, and even touch. Every sense. So we do not sense the Fear that permeates every aspect of our lives. but it is a subtle consistent force. Every time an event happens the fear level in the society shoots up. over reacting? probably. in most cases. But when the the event passes, the level of fear never drops to pre event level. And let us not forget the medias constant drum-beat of all things that can/will kill us. This atmosphere of fear permeates our daily lives like a thick layer of molassis that covers our experiences and emotions. the cracks are beginning to show. the cracks have been showing for quites some time now. Ironically this is the reason we are told not to pay attention to the cracks. Slowly...very slowly the world has been going insane.
