I guess I don't believe enough will or soon enough. You don't and expect others to? You should research narcistic abuse and apply it to mass scale perhaps it may open your eyes. Catastrophe after another over and over again eats and numbs the mind into apathy for the sake of survival. It's called mind/psychological warfare and it's more real than ppl want to admit but that's why they can do it. Losing hope or vision sounds a lot like apathy.
The world reminds me of one big abuse victim that can't recognize they are getting abused and stay there because they think there is no other choice so we just go along with it. PPl underestimate the damage of abuse and mind erosion it does or what the definition could even be. I guess that's sort of thing I'm analyzing these days. Obviously it's 2 different concepts but share enough similarities and adds perspective to merge the 2. even the abused spouse or kid gets up one days and says that's wrong and I'm out. Different cycle same path.
Everything has to sell reverse the problem, if it didn't sell, they wouldn't make it. So consumers are unknowingly consuming it by choice of ignorance or rosy colored glasses and ignore reality.
The other problem ppl like us that don't like the mainstream don't hang out on mainstream things out of annoyance. why I still have my FB. We have a gold mine of organic information and ways of life suitable for every need and every like but yet we keep it all locked away and only privy to the ppl of hive. Come to us we think. The repercussions of that the filth spreads and the wholesomeness stays hidden because we hid it with our own beliefs. Not just hive but the wholesome content doesn't spread if you have to be part of something weird you don't understand. The mainstream platforms simply spread information and the only information that spreads is the one that is put there in the first place, if the good organic info isn't there how can it spread? I can't say the hive stuff I post there does that well but I do have friends that ask about it and they will never join hive, doesn't mean they can't benefit from the info written.
I don't get the dude getting smacked on the head over and over thing but I do get the ripples in the water, yes exactly like that. I like to call it spreading seeds. They wont all grow everywhere but spread enough something is bound to come of it eventually. Our words outlive us.
I'm reading translated text that was carved in pyramids several thousands of years ago. It was their intent perhaps but do you think they knew just how large of an influence they would have thousands of years later that any random human could just get it from their house without even having to get out of bed. We start with a huge leg up. As long as we have the internet the words are there to be interpreted by the right person even if it's 200 years from now.
I did a few personal test with my photography on fb and I chose 12 Canadian amateur photo groups to share in. my highest performing post got 55k views and probably several thousands of interactions. Sharing a dumb 5 photo post 12 times. The wholesome information spreads if somebody puts it there and in the right place, it's just a matter of finding that right place. Filth spreads because the good information holders are apathetic.
I totally relate on the information in book being deep and valuable but how to even share in a comprehensive layman terms sometimes can be tricky. I have the same problem. Too niche for regular human consumption. That's your job as a blogger, it shapes your perspective and you write about how it impacts you bit by bit. You already do it.
A lot to unpack here and the little pea-sized brain in my noggin isn't up for it tonight at almost midnight after an eighteen hour day.
I have really struggled to put what this book is making me think and feel, how it's shifting inside me, into words and to be honest I don't think I'll try as it's too personal and would mean I'd have to open up about things I've lived through which I'm not prepared to do here, or online anywhere for that matter. Maybe if you read the book that will make sense although your experiences are different to mine, you're a different person, and so it'll be different for you I guess, as it would be with anyone else. The good thing is that I got to introduce a book that has great meaning, especially in this flawed and broken society of ours, and if one person picks it up and takes a read, hell, if one person sees the movie, maybe some good will come of it...maybe they'll think differently and maybe that'll make a difference.
That's the whole point of a good book, to shift some things inside and yeas like you said, I will read something entirely different out of it because I have different experiences, sometimes it takes a minute to sink in and verbalize it.
Most ppl struggle with opening up and that's a personal choice, it's neither good or bad, also why I think we read, so we can have these deep parts of ourselves disturbed to be analyzed quietly, sometimes it is our personal journey not necessarily for the whole world but it does feel nice to open up about certain things at times, keeping too much inside also isn't good, probably part of the reason the world is so messed up, everyone keeps everything inside until they are all eaten away to nothing and losing hope. Now ppl see me open up here about some weird things but realistically it's just the tip of the iceberg, the more comfortable nasty stuff I don't want to traumatize anyone either.
Your hopes are one par, Even if one person picks it up That's why we are here, to inform the ones who want it and yes that's a win. I plan on reading it...mission accomplished then...Just like that! 😆
LOL Better to be the iceberg than the Titanic...just sayin. Maybe some of this stuff needs to come out somewhere nonetheless you could journal it but just for your eyes only.
