...that the world we live in today.

So many people on tangents without a clue or care about the actual details or history of what they're on about.

I'm guessing we're supposed to go with the uninformed takes, and bury facts underneath nonfactual derisions as if we're helpless, or we can't be bothered to take 'time' to discern the actual truth?

Count me out of all of that silliness. It's in a language that I refuse to learn.

Here we are with not only access to the most information we've ever had available in our history or lifetimes, and most of the social media impetus is toward supplanting all of that with our own supposition and cw.

And people wonder why we're an uninformed nation. It's because so many of us invite and revel in self-reinforcement of our own projections. Garbage in, garbage out.
