Anyone else feel like the reason why humanity doesn’t bother to fix important issues for a long time is because the people simply don’t care enough to group up and fix them. I mean when I try to educate folks on complex problems they often seem like they don’t want to discuss it and quickly defend the status quo saying “that’s just how things are”

But we can’t keep ignoring these issues because then it could delay necessary progress for thousands of years.

    You are right, and it is usually just a (very moral eh) tactic to get your clicks. You aRe okAy with MurDer and Rape? If noT click “click bait article”.

    I have decided to follow seriously only one topic (the russian ukraine aggression, so I gonon the lookout myself for information), some others more on a surface level like LGBT+ where you don’t need to know a lot about the topic to understand what’s happening (it’s quite straightforward, terfs are bad, let people be who they are ffs).

    But again, if you don’t engage in most of the “news” you are not a bad person, you just prive shady companies advertising money.
