not because I am a lemming but because I have for many years held the same viewpoint.
This made me smile. (The, not a lemming part.)
The example I often like to use is the downfall of music
Indeed, soulless, manufactured rubbish mostly. A good example for sure.
Many are heading towards that cliff and most will go over, it is the way of it. Maybe that's what's required though, a mass self-culling.
there is more and more pressure from the media in all forms to simply follow the crowd.
Also yes, follow the crowd, be mediocre and don't set out to achieve any more than the minimum.
Let's hope that things can be turned around, if not, I really do think that the downfall of society is going to just continue with increased momentum.
Things can turn around. They can. But I'm pretty sure it won't...well, not until after the fall.
Well it's not going to be pretty to watch it happen, the best we can do is make changes where we can to maybe convince people to open their eyes and ears and see/hear things for what they really are.
Yep, prepare for the worst so when it happens it's not as impactful as it would be with no preparation.
