The network new
The thousands of online news sources
Political ad campaigns
All marketing
All corrupt marketing
All playing on our easily manipulated emotions
We are being played
The greatest scam ever
Red or Blue
Creating hatred
Black of white
Gay or straight
Religious tensions
I am not denying the existence of truly evil people and motives in the world
I am saying that even those occurrences are purposely used to incite and polarize us
Maybe we should all take a step back and let clearer heads prevail
For me it means
No social media
No network news
No speaking out of quick emotional impulse
As Seth Godin lays out beautifully
The factory/ Industrial Age is gone
The factory workers are lost
And
We continue to create factory workers
Rewarding compliant mediocrity
Punishing outstanding and remarkable renegades
Maybe the issue is that this was never a long term ideal
It created scared workers
Scared and abandoned
We need to embrace creativity, arts
I’m convinced it is a noble cause
The youth. The future, the hope for the world
Just some thoughts
