It is the #DumbFall it seems. Access to reams of info but we, like rats, are trained to stay on wheel one.
"if we are to elevate and transcend the stupidity of our day." defiantly on point. If you and the best of you and i am the best i, we make each other stronger. There is a virtue in being selfish.
Taking a step away, or back from the plebes lets us all see better what is happening. Is that what you are doing? Yet, watching what is happening?
"Thinking for myself... Living free... To me! This is EVERYTHING!" It is I agree. Ones own definition is what defines life.
Questing everything includes ones own self and what ones own self owns definitions are. The fact that you can let others challenge you, is by far the best way to learn. You make some very good points that ring the bell of silence.
That time alone might have been the one of the best things to come out of all this lockdowns. Forcing people to questions their lives as to their own WHY. Forced self discovery so it seems.
I am glad i could spill some insight to wash the dirt away, it is not me though i just hold what was put in.
