Yes agreed on all points! For sure the internet has perpetuated the discovery and the reporting of incidents and it's much easier to follow things realtime with more accurate facts. But the weather, the disasters, it seems to be more extreme. Or at least extremes we've seen before, record levels, but we're seeing all the extremes in a shorter period of time!?
And the people, seem to be crazier.
But maybe it is just the access to the knowledge that makes it all feel "more" than before.
In some sense, it feels like there has been a "quickening" of life... whether it starts with the digital age, or goes all the way back to the Industrial Revolution is hard to say... but more and more seems crammed into less and less time-space. What;s puzzling-- and a little alarming-- is this notion that natural disasters are following the trend...
Are you saying it's alarm that people believe it...or that it might actually be true?
