Meh, whatever.
That and our exceedingly obnoxious self importance as a species. We think we own the Earth, but we actually just live here, and we’re gonna find out real soon how fun it is when nature decides our climate is no longer stable.
Meh
There sure is a lot of propaganda for people to be apathetic.
My theory is that there’s TOO much for people to care.
Remember when we DIDN’T hear about what the president was doing MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY? If one of those presidents had decided to undermine democracy, it’d be a pretty big deal and we’d talk about nothing else for weeks.
But now, breaking news rolls out every hour or two, and it’s just too much to absorb. People are tuning out because if they miss 3 controversies, there will be a fourth by the end of the day. Maybe they’ll worry about that one.
True.
Nah. Hubris.
Or maybe permafrost ancient virus.
I just had a third package stolen out of my mailbox in a month. I don’t usually feel this way, but your post speaks to me. Can I move to another country yet?
Sorry. Best we can do is imprisonment and slavery.
Oh no! Let’s not, please.
I think I’m over the apathy… It was actually sadness and overwhelm that I wasn’t processing. I’m back.
Glad to have you back! I recommend you pet a duck to gain a little happiness. Why a duck? Because there’s tutorials on how to catch one safely. Enjoy!
Trying to catch a baby duck is like trying to hold water, or happiness, in your hands. They seem to be Schrodingers ducks for how rapidly and unexpectedly they move.
And an adult duck? They sometimes pet you back! I kept ducks for a while and one would regularly preen my fingers as though they were feathers.
Ducks can be happiness.
I agree. However, it’s important to point out that the apathy has been manufactured by those with the wealth and power to benefit from it in the short term.
Eh
That’s, like, your opinion, man.
