@jessicawildfire You're absolutely right. We humans have lost the plot. A lot of us have stopped thinking entirely, largely because modern media and the Internet tell us what to think, and that's a lot easier than reading and thinking.

I get to overhear a lot of cellphone conversations about "politics". The conversations don't explore anything new. The two participants do nothing but parrot what they just heard on Fox News and the other party parrots back. Nothing moves, nothing changes. They just repeat what they heard and get agreement.
