There's a lot of information out there. This makes it impossible to be rational. (Dialectic)
A lot of the time, we accept what authorities tell us, because we figure we would say the same thing in their place, or we trust that they know what they're talking about. So, in effect, we allow the media to do thinking for us. Problem is, we forget how to think dialectically, although we started out doing so. Because we want to have as much information as possible, in order to be able to make the best possible decision, but all too often what we're deciding is which information to access next. We're preparing for a choice we're never going to make. And so the dialectic is turned against itself.
The good part, though, is that every single fucking person is going to be fucking dead in the future, and the universe will be clear of the ridiculous blot we're currently imposing on it. (WE SUCK)
