Interesting post!
Skepticism is one of the most important things in life.
This also describes it -> The essence of the independent mind lies not in what it thinks, but in how it thinks.(Christopher Hitchens)
And we often get ridiculed and attacked and marginalized and laughed off.. It's so strange.
You will have the last laugh. And one who laughs last laughs the longest.
Everyone likes status quo. But status quo is always temporary.
I guess somehow we have to show them that ignorance is not bliss, and that a dangerous freedom is better than an enslaved comfort.
The more time spent in "bliss" the more dangerous becomes the freedom.
I think it's about time we bust outta this womb(cave) and live free
Not a cave, it's sheer illusion.
Thanks! Glad you thought so.
That's a good quote! Thanks for sharing.
Perhaps.. At this point it's not really even funny anymore though. If it ever was. But I sorta get what you were saying.
Yeah.. I guess, though it seems like there's always a status quo, so even though it's a perpetually shifting status quo, it still seems to be there in one form or another, heh.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean here.. I think I have an idea, but could you expand a lil bit on that?
Whichever metaphor you'd like to use, I tend to agree with illusion, that works for me.
