The Precarious Loop
It's a precarious loop. Belief in scarcity creates fear, which makes humans favor tribe-think over doing their own thinking. Which in turn creates evidence of scarcity as each tribe looks out for itself, further preventing humans from doing their own thinking. What's weird is that it's the same downward spiral which gets individual humans into depressed states. Which humans are then taken to psychotherapy as the depressed state is classified as a "personal" illness. Fear creates scaffoldings to sustain itself. The only hope for us all might be to accept our ignorance rather than look away from it. I for one would like to admit I would not know left from right if it wasn't for insightful people I stumbled upon, that too purely by mistake.
