At the current stage of disintegration of the structure of society as a whole and worldwide, and even though there seems to be no lasting refuge from this debacle, the defensive reflex for many seems to be to “stop talking about it” or to stop wanting to hear or see anything.
By an unfortunate phenomenon, nothing that concerns us all directly would now be worth discussing; leaving the field to the media and its myriad of experts who know so well how to occupy the space but so that not the slightest usable conclusion or the slightest reference to the causality of things ever emerges.
Whether it be nuclear power, the widespread pollution of nature, food, politics or democracy, or the world itself, the list of subjects on which speech seems to have become futile grows longer every day…
When what the public does not want to hear coincides precisely with what those in power do not want the public to hear, we must believe that we are very fortunate to be living in the best of all possible worlds.
One of the most surprising features of the human soul, alongside so much selfishness in the details, is that the present is generally without any desire for the future. (R. H. Lotze)
But also,
Some begin to see when there is nothing left to see. It is difficult to give understanding to those who have no will to have it, and even more difficult to give will to those who have no understanding. And since they are deaf to hearing, they never open their eyes to see. However, there are people who foment this insensitivity, because their well-being consists in ensuring that others are nothing. (The courtier. Baltasar Gracian)
