Are We Losing The Ability To Reason?



I believe that if the electricity ever unplugs people of these generation from what they call a "life" (tv, movies, music, games, etc.) that most of them will go stark raving mad.The silence will do it.... trust me



Yes, people are alarmingly lost to much of the concrete reality around them. Today everything is just "an opinion." As though there were no truth, no reality, no solid, unforgiving external measure of things anywhere in existence. If everything is just an opinion, and lies are called just as good or just as real as truth,very soon everything becomes entirely meaningless. If everything is just as good and just as real as anything else (true or false, good or bad), then really, nothing matters. And that's where a lot of people are right now. "Nothing matters, so lets just enjoy the party while it lasts."



It's almost creepy talking to people that you're trying to inform about something that is true and real, and either they cannot understand it, they can't care about it even if they know they should, or else they so don't want it to be true, they take it for granted...... "you're just full of it". But again, that's most people these days.

  5. If there was no electricity we would def run mad! And everyone in the western world would find themselves broke. As for all the opinions, to an extent you're right, but i see it as a good thing that these days anyone can be a philosopher and bring out theories- we definitely still are reasoning, and maybe even more so.

    You've got a great blog. Please keep it up

  6. I always sound like a grumpy old woman when I complain - so it's nice to hear it from something else.

    I think this is the fast-food, google generation - that wants things instanly and without effort.

    Even common-sense has become too much effort!

    Thanks for dropping by my blog. I'm popping you on my blogroll so I'll def be back
