It's quite shameful to have found the same infantilism in my own self. It is painful, if not frightening, to confront this in solitude. Looking at my life and realising that a part of me has led a princess existence caused shame.
However, facing this shame courageously is the only way to successfully prevent cowardly evasion or insistence on recourse. We see how those in positions of power - and their thralls - do not want to see this shame in themselves and how they transfer this hated feeling onto others. How they pass laws against it, which they call ‘hate crime’. While all what it is, is their resistance to deal with themselves.
I agree, the legacy media is dying.
True, the development and proliferation that can be utilised at the personal level is impressive. I'm a little less enthusiastic than you in this regard, but I'd be happy if your vision of our children's and their children's future would be accurate.
But, we can never expect that all people on earth will have the clarity and insight into how big the illusions grew and will do so again and what abyss is down there. As a parent, you can only tell so and so much to the young ones. They must find out themselves.
Right now I am celebrating that at least some forces are slowed down in their overflight, if not completely stamped out.
I also feel this shame for the same reason. It is a continual growth process to discover and reprocess the fundamental beliefs I absorbed in my childhood, so that I can do my best to live in accord to the real world.
Thanks!
