Through our neurochemistry
innocence, we have been trying to meet our every need unbeknownst the human experience is more about the journey and less about the destination. Now our technologies have met our every need they are now pacifying us from reacting to crises. Movies have us believe that there is one villain Rothchilds, Illuminati, Darth Vader... but in fact, it is the machine itself.
Medical Pacification
Asking for help and all that is available are SSRIs/MAOI/Antipsychotics which are essentially sedatives
Genetic Pacification
Our genes which have historically acted in our defense are now our worst enemies. We have evolved to work within scarcity however in a Western world full of excess, obesity is one of the biggest killers. Whilst we have evolved to procreate to ensure the survival of the species overpopulation is draining our resources.
Cultural Pacification
Static media, computer games, smartphones are not unlike adult pacifiers.[1] Whilst a baby will have a need for milk and the mother's teat, adults have more complicated desires. Could it be that tolerance in the wider world for despots has occured as our inventions provide an escape for our warriors?
