The Death March of Wisdom

The World is bereft of journalistic integrity, individuality, critical thinking, courage and civil debate. We consider the lack of these values exemplified in a digital world "The Death March of Wisdom." We consider these values as the necessary digital fabric to realistically spend more time with friends and family. Said differently, it is unrealistic to spend less time looking at screens if you feel compelled to fight against injustice, misinformation, and evil. It is unrealistic to spend time in the physical present moment without knowing the good guys at least have an upper hand. Losing the digital battleground means we lost the thread on the collective wisdom of humanity but why it benevolently connects us. The benevolence of sharing wisdom will be replaced by reprogramming designed as wisdom. Curiosity is the solution. Curiosity is innate in all of us but it has been methodically and mechanically co-opted into a groupthink funnel. It must be re-awakened on a…

You can't understand this concept fully until you've actually hurt someone else and felt the dopamine rush of power. A likely sequence that has happened to you where you feel justified to dominate someone emotionally or physically is when someone hurts you, does not acknowledge it and blamed you for it. This sequence feels like the invalidation of your existence as a person.

That's what lack of empathy feels like in these situations and therefore justice and righteousness need to be acted on to eliminate a sociopath from hurting others.
