Oh, man... This was an awesome post... I will try to give my personal opinion on this, trying to not offend too many people... lol...

I think that the current social "situation" was building up for the past 2-3 decades, and I will not go further in the past, as I really think that it wasn't present in this "volume" as today... The Internet just fastened up certain things, and one of the biggest changes (except for money) is the attention...

In the jungle of celebrities, perfect men (women), with perfect lives, bodies, hair, etc., "ordinary" people want their space under the sun... It was first by doing some crazy stuff, and after that trying to "lead by example", be following some "wrong" role models... That's something that is happening on a personal level...

On the larger scale, I just got aware yesterday about one maybe not a that important thing (for some), but still could be one of the game-changers... I have noticed that suddenly everyone produces electric cars, and just 2 years ago, only Tesla was doing them... The technology was there for decades (to be honest)... Why right now? Maybe I'm just another conspiracy theorist, or it is just the influence of watching a documentary about petro-dollar, but it seems that we are at a huge crossroad at the moment...

The need for control is bigger than ever, and the best tool for getting is fear... And the Boogeyman isn't some big corporation, or terrorists, or something already washed-out thing... It's your neighbor, it's your closest one... You can't believe anyone...

There was never bigger distrust in governments and politicians on one side, and on the other side, people are blindly following everything is served... all because of the fear... And in some weird way, those people think that they are LEADING others, but they are actually just blind followers... So, their need for attention is satisfied on one side, and from the other side, that have been controlled without knowing it... win-win...

I have no idea what I wanted to say with all this, but I know it's time to bury the Boogeyman and live freely!

I have picked this post on behalf of the @OurPick project and it will be highlighted in the next post!
