People are scared of whatever the real truth might be, so they grab on to some thing or idea they feel comfortable with. They then promote this thing or idea until it is proven to be false beyond a shadow of a doubt...then they move on to the next thing and the cycle continues
Well put, I do think much of the tension comes from an intrinsic xenophobia that many people may harbor. While technology such as the internet has aided in exposure to foreign cultures, new ideas, etc., it has also provided a platform where (up until now), shock value, whether truthful or proven, draws the attention of media consumers.
I only hope that the blockchain, and similar ideals will thrive enough to provide all individuals (especially the disenfranchised) with true, sincere economic/idealistic representation. We are on the right track toward a more connected world, we just have to be vocal enough to cut through the static.
You're right and it will be interesting to watch
I can't wait for the next couple decades of tech. We haven't had an "earth-shattering" invention in some time, I think we're just about overdue. Gaming is going to be so awesome! Ready Player One? 😅
Haha! I remember playing Super Tecmo Bowl as a kid thinking it was the greatest game ever invented. It's gone further than I could have ever imagined!
Haha, wow that's a throwback. Reminds me of the good ol' NFL Blitz days. Here's to Red Dead Redmemption 2, so stoked!
hey Mr. mantishands, how are you today?
