Exactly. It's not a lack of time. Its a surplu of distraction. It's almost as if it is designed that way. No...no...that would be a conspiracy theory.
If you think about it, we can probably all relate. There have been times when I've wanted to zone out and binge watch a TV series and all of this truth sort of takes a backseat. I do, from time to time, but then my conscience calls me back to sobriety. It eases the mind to distract it. It's quite like alcohol really, it doesn't solve any of the problems but it allows people to escape and not face them. If people can become alcoholics, the same behavior can explain people becoming willfully ignorant.
I can relate to that.
I have chosen prayer, scripture, sermons, instead of television or other things.
In fact about 90% reduction of time here, as well.
There comes a point when you finally realize the source of the degeneracy throughout the earth. You have to decide whether or not you want that producer in your mind. Nearly everything you consume media wise is from that source, with very few exceptions. You can choose to continue it, or go to the 180* opposite.
Truth is, if we can do it they can too. They simply refuse.
And that is where my frustration lies. I'm not any smarter than most of the people I know. In fact, I can readily admit that there are some are smarter than I am. I just see things differently, and it pisses me off that these people either won't even look or resort to irrational Pavlovian responses.
