"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society" -Jiddu Krishnamurti
Above ego, I believe the problem to be people caring too much about what other people think of them. This ensures conformity and, while it could sometimes be desirable, we live in a world where a few corporations control 90%+ of the information we get.
So they get to choose if society cares about Jeffrey Epstein, they get to choose if we care about the environment, they get to choose if we care about Covid-19, they get to choose what issues we care about when voting. . .
We will soon know what the real background is. Certainly not well, ordinary people suffer the most.
