I’ve been a questioner my whole life. Even as a wee lad, barely out of swaddlers, if I overheard voices raised in mirth in another room, I would enter and demand (probably more of a squeak, at that age): “What is happ’nin??” …generally resulting in an even greater explosion of mirth, and doing nothing to assuage my bewilderment.
Wow, what an excellent essay! It’s always been obvious to me and considered basic common sense to ask questions, especially of authority. I have been so damn shocked that not only have most of the people around me failed to do so, but have actually shunned me for daring to. WTF!
Did a heavy sedative get put in the water in 2020? Maybe it’s social media turning peoples brains off and making them afraid of being ridiculed?
Mattias Desmet does a good job of explaining that what we could be seeing is a mass psychosis event but I wonder if that really is it? Whatever it is that has seemingly lobotomized a large number of people we have got to find ways to snap them out of it if possible. Thanks for your writing!
