People nowadays talk about the world's problems like they're reading lines off a teleprompter. They recite what they're told and echo it without thinking. It has become easier to divide people than to unify them, and to blind them than to give them vision. We are no longer unified like a bowl of Cheerios. Instead, we have become as segregated as a box of Lucky Charms. Every day we see the same leprechauns on TV acting like they're the experts of everything.
blind cheerios corruption distract divide divided division echo experts faith followers human-condition journalism liars lies lucky-charms media memorize mislead people politics press recite reciting segragation segregation social-media society teleprompter think thinking thinking-ofr-yourself unified united unity vision zombies
