Along history of mankind, just like in history of space, there is a principle that at the end will hit both hard, expansion. In the case of space, which can expand itself infinitely, the upcoming is clear.
For humanity, this expansion can be defined by the accumulation of knowledge and the multiplication of specific patterns, habits, local uses, customs. At a time not so far away, most of theses specificities were crafted upon nature. But since a hundred years or so, knowledges and customs have been shaped by both technology and globalisation.
There has been of late an infinite diversification and accumulation of thinkings which are taking humanity’s unity to a low that it has never experienced. Knowledge and customs are not only expanding & diversifying, they are accumulating like a tower of Babel and, in the process, every singular part of it sees its intensity, its originality, its meaning fading, diluting itself, shrinking in an ocean of possibilities leading to a generational distrust of everything and so much more.
While the field of possibilities becomes infinite, each of them loses its essence, its significance, its purport. Matter of life vanishes. Left or right takes to the same point. The end result being that no one is anymore interested in the other because the other has become the same empty soul as ours.
If you are a neo Hare-Krishna living in the woodlands near Gainesville, FL, or an Eskimo from Ikamiuk, a Thai or a Bolivian, you are now filled with the same global stuff made of fake reality with different local colours, illusions of the past embodied in the new age vibe. Just as Fenimore Cooper recorded, the ‘civilised Indians’ just added the Indians’ sins to the Whites ones …
Light takes time but darkness is immediate.
Because of the current availability of an infinity of knowledges, knowledge itself is evaporating and is replaced by ignorance which is darkness ! The individual impulse is submerged by an ocean of collective memes, of myths. Being rich or smart does not help because the pool is drying, faster and faster. True knowledge has become as invisible and irrecoverable as galaxies vanishing away.
You have learned to be a good citizen, a good worker, you have a flag and a skill, what else should you need ? Don’t worry, be happy.
