It seems asking questions implies ignorance these days…that would explain a lot…because the more we’re discouraged from engaging and asking questions, and instead are required to just go with the flow and the populist view, the less likely we are to live a conscious life. 

Bring on the meds, the alcohol, the opiates, and any other shit that will keep us distracted for long enough not to notice that life is happening while we’re struggling to get over ourselves. What a joke!
