Things feel like they have been getting weird for some while now. There are some of those I marched alongside on the anti-lockdown and anti-vaccine mandate protests in 2021 who would pin the start of this weirdness to the start of the Covid 'crisis' in 2020. Other marchers would agree with me that things were starting to get weird a long time before this 'crisis'. What can be agreed upon is that this 'crisis' was an acceleration in this weirdness. Also, as stated by me and a good few others, the 'crisis' was also an acceleration of the implementation of the Great Reset, a.k.a. the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
If a media medium arises that allows virtually instant communications of one’s thoughts and reactions to anyone else on the planet - without the filter of time and reflection- can we be surprised how the internet and social media more broadly have impacted on our civilisation. “Act in haste, repent at leisure” my mother would have said!
“Far from fostering honest debate, it seems to me that social media has somehow led to a culture of cancelling, name calling, tribalism and blockin”
I hope they don’t unleash the trolls to Substack, causing it to diminish 🙏✨💜
The ‘weird’ world is like living in a cult, and I lived in one for 10 years.
