RE: Does society prefer 'Dumb & Rich' to 'Wise & Poor?'

in #questions3 years ago

Hmm. Interesting. 'Fitting in with others' could definitely be a factor that affects who seeks out wisdom from whom.

Yes, that's a good point, if everyone is creating a sea of noise, there's very little option left other than be brighter/louder.

You're right, it does indeed happen, I often cite Van Gogh here.

It may be obvious to you, but many people buy into an influencer's fluff or inaccuracies, so I wonder just how obvious these things are in the end.

Lots to consider here, thanks for adding your thoughts.

Sort:  

yes Van Gogh. it's true. He was one of the mimes.

People buy into the influencer's fluff because it's pretty and shiny. They're too "average" to think for themselves or research further. Better to go with the flow in their minds than it is to think for themselves lest they too become a mime. I think it's obvious for people who care or people who are "woke" (ugh I'm starting to hate that word but it conveys what I mean the quickest)

Thanks for asking these questions. I hope more and more people give thought to these and decide to lift others up who are more than fluff and have something to actually say.

All worthwhile considerations I'd say. It'd be interesting to talk to some of these people, in-depth and at-length, to see if they'd eventually reveal their true, honest, core motivations, but that may require more awareness than they'll possess in this lifetime.

Happy to provoke some thought, and thanks for your contributions to the discussion! :)
