    I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again:

    The era we call “The Dark Ages” was a period where people simply didn’t write as much down.

    Right now, we can’t get to the shit worth reading. It’s buried and every day going farther and farther down under layers of slop.

  • BINGO, THANK YOU! Just a bunch of entertaining or fake BLANK taken seriously, by the uneducated/ignorant people, but think they know everything & attack those that put in the whole work to know & think outside the box & be educated in diverse areas of life & non-bought people!

    Not really sure people are fat with information

    I’d say they have tapeworm and everything they consume effectively disappears forever because it was all brain rot virus in the first place

    We consume information like Koalas consume eucalyptus.

    We stuff our faces with toxic filler with little to no nutritional value, until we get sick and pass out. Just to wake up and do it all over again.

    Eh, I disagree on both parts.

    Lots of information out there, but it’s the equivalent of a Forrest full of virtually identical berries, 90% of which are poisonous.

    And people are broke as fuck these days, you need wisdom to survive like that, and you earn it the hard way.

    It’s just that when they have to devote so much energy to meeting their base needs, they can’t be assed to think about more abstract things.

    Which is why the wealthy are never happy unless everyone else has nothing. When we’re comfortable enough to think ahead, we start asking why there’s any oligarchs to begin with. And their propaganda pitting us against each other isn’t as effective.

    People are wise, you’re just judging fish by how well they can climb trees

      I’m not sure why your comment got downvoted. But i don’t see how what you wrote disagrees with what op said
