(#5763) We cannot count on a collective consciousness

      I used to think we were all basically on the same page. Logic and common sense generally in the more foundational ways included. That is what I used to think. It is evidently clear now that there is no collective consciousness that is shared. Sure some of us can find commonality within our foundational understandings but not enough of us to keep us on track to implement that consciousness into social norms. Instead what we have is a disjointed misunderstanding based upon fallacies and intentional deceptions. That we are not able to delineate fallacies and deliberate deceptions from our individual and collective consciousnesses is a major step backward in our human evolution.
     The depth and breadth of our decline is more than troubling it is dangerous. Our species had been on a path of intellectual enlightenment until we found ourselves less concerned with knowledge and more concerned with ease. Even more than ease in this case. It is a laziness of inquisitiveness and a lack of boldness to expand our futures with possibilities. We humans have lost the will to not only survive but to thrive in our universe with a conviction toward discovery. Instead we want to sit back in our comfort and live like kings and queens regardless of the current state of the unanswered problems within our societies. We have in other words reached a plateau that we are not equipped to leave.
     I don't know how we as a species can move further into our evolution. I am so flabbergasted by the end of the road of our species that I am numbed by it all. Of course I am angry and willing to continue on but unless the many of us can awaken from our what seems like to me a stupor, I know I am not strong enough to carry the weight that is getting heavier. I will always do more than my part but others need to at least do their part. It is as if having a purpose in life beyond ourselves is lost on so many that going forward together is now unachievable. I would never have guessed that our current generation would be the one that would destroy the future of humanity but it appears never has arrived.
