RE: As Facebook Shoots Themselves in the Foot, Steemit Thrives as It Rewards Users Instead of Leeches Off Them

in #steemit6 years ago

Seems like most Facebook users want to be ignorant & pretend everything will be ok from my perspective. Never ever understood that mentality

Sort:  

It can be argued that humanity as a whole wants to remain oblivious. After all, the quote "ignorance is bliss," is based on centuries of testimony.... We need to pop these bubbles. ;)

My guess is 5% of us want to know what’s actually going on. 1 out of your average 20 maybe? Networking among the 5% is probably more fruitful than shouting to deaf ears at this point. Economic cycles have a way of injecting reality into mass consciousness. Hopefully the fallout this time will expose more people to the constant disinformation pump & we can progress.

I agree

Is “ignorance is bliss” based on centuries of experience or engineered social conditioning deployed via media via tv & movies for the last 7 decades 🤔
