We’ve maximized information and accidentally drowned wisdom
Hits home. This is good observation and a perfect critique, not over cynical, nor too loathed. Its just helplessness to avoid the battle of the mind and the heart.
The business of the world has forced humans itself into a trap. What an irony we live in, creating a cage for ourselves. Besides slaughtering nature into it too.
All that time, that irreplaceable human attention, fed into machines that convert consciousness into quarterly earnings.
That hurts badly. We are loosing are attention to these machines. We need to get it back. The time, the wisdom and the boring tone to our lives.
The optimist in me is still here. Still hoping.
This is great piece of writing. I love it. Want to write essays like this.
Thanks for writing this Kenneth, you have inspired some spark for me.
