The reason people would rather be taken care of is bc society has intentionally provided access to numerous addictions such as social media, online gambling, video games etc. so that people don't care about the world around them.

Definitely. We’ve been anesthetized. I used to wonder how it is that those in the entertainment industry, including all the avenues you mentioned and more, are compensated so highly compared to the people who actually matter? Now, I look around and realize it was all part of the plan.

Ricky Gervais’ Oscar speech hit the nail on the head, and was only the tip of the iceberg. As long as our discomfort is monetizable on both sides of the argument the pony will be ridden until the bottom drops out.

The bottom line is, people today are so comfortably numb it’s going to take some serious shit to wake them up. Then the cycle begins anew.

Agreed! Society wants us addicted with numb minds- so much easier to control people.
