Thought Tweet #609 It is getting far more difficult to run with the silent, hobbled majority.
The Thinking Behind The Tweet
Apathy has inertia. Apathy has always had inertia. However, in the past apathy faced much less distraction than it faces today.
In our 21st Century life, our apathy faces an intense barrage of information input: particularly, visual stimuli and audio stimuli. This intense barrage of information wraps itself tightly around our apathy...weakening...and at the same time making our apathy feel more comfortable.
Our apathy has been hobbled by information overload.

Thought Tweet #608 We seek out fun and rewards, even adventure...and then, out of the blue, a small change raises the fur on our backs.
The Thinking Behind The Tweet
People get bored quickly and remove that problem by seeking out input, fun, novel experiences, pleasures, and adventure. When people are actively working at replacing their boredom with something more stimulating they inevitably come face to face with new things, sometimes surprises, and sometimes shocking outcomes....they experience a range of different aspects of changes to the status quo.
All of this is to be expected and is, to various degrees, accepted....by each and every one of us.
But, try telling someone to make a change. Anyone.
