Keep yourself informed! Stay in the loop!

Personal mumbling about what is happening in our lives every day
img0.jpg

Everything that used to be in a certain way has changed, these are the times that we live in. As technology advances, some of us find it difficult to keep up! While everything is changing at a fast pace, we still don't understand one important thing that we must do to adapt...
STAY INFORMED!

This is of utmost importance because if we don't, we will eventually become mere puppets. Now is the time to ask questions and learn. Learn about crypto as sooner rather than later it will become a part of your life! Get a better understanding of politics and the world we live in! To understand any system, such as democracy, communism, fascism, totalitarianism, and so on, you must understand its fundamental principles.

If you don't question everything you see, every decision being made will affect you at some point. It is for this reason that you need to stay informed. The food and drinks you eat today are full of chemicals, some known, some unknown, which add day by day, slowly, poison to your system. Food and drinks play a critical role in your health, so take time to learn about them! Take a look at climate change and the changes happening around us. Whether you believe in it or not, your ability to stay informed is of utmost importance.

Since we all belong to this world and universe, why not learn more about what surrounds us? This is not the time to dwell on unimportant or meaningless things. Nowadays, information is everywhere! Some of you may remember how hard it used to be before the internet was available!

What if search engines did not exist?

Back then, I had a hard time finding anything without a search engine. You had to move down to the library if you wanted to learn about a certain subject. You remember the building with a lot of books, don't you? The majority of them exist today, but they are now just a museum of books. Despite your interest in knowledge, finding materials was hard, most of the time having to rely on an old lady called ''the librarian'' (who had knowledge of a lot of subject matter and could offer guidance), or you could read all of the books about it. Also, some books were illegal in some countries and were nowhere to be found.

Now, a search engine, a click of a button, and all the information is right there in front of you. It is also cherry-picked and summarized so you don't have to read a book to figure out what you need to know. I don't have the time to do that now.
All information is handed out on silver platters! Everything you don't know is just a click away! Therefore, I must insist that you stop doing meaningless things and start asking questions about the world. Enlightenment comes from education. In today's world, education can be done via a smartphone(tablet, laptop, pc), which we all have as an extension of ourselves. Engaging only in useless social media leads to more stupidity in the long run.

You don’t agree on a subject? That's fine! Great, in fact! It is your right to have an opinion, but before you begin a useless discussion about how right you are, start learning more about the subject, so that you can present a proactive opinion and then explain your point of view. There is no justification for anything less. No, not today! To anyone trying to dumb you down, being informed is the biggest checkmate you can give.

Do not accept populist social media crap like a dumb ass that they want you to be. Instead, ask yourself why this is happening. Today's media does not seem to offer me valuable information that concerns me. Why is this?

img6.jpg

Ask questions if you don't know the answer because the answer is right under your nose. You can find the answer to everything you need most of the time in your pocket or in front of a screen. Put your devices to use and start getting informed! After awakening yourself from the polluted mindset that we are constantly fed, you will thank yourself for doing so.


I'll end this with a shout-out to @bradleyarrow Thank you for your continuous support!

There's a call to action! 🙂

We seem to have a number of different things happening at the same time - greater access to information but less critical awareness. Have you seen @amirtheawesome1's new series about Hegel? It's fascinating, you might enjoy it.

Yes I did! 😉

. . . before you begin a useless discussion about how right you are, start learning more about the subject, so that you can present a proactive opinion and then explain your point of view.

In a world where an inclusivist point of view is favored, it is said that a distinctive perspective has no place. However, I wonder how can one contribute to the discussion if he or she does not know the specific background or worldview where he or she is coming from. A healthy dialogue can only emerge in an environment that respects all ideas even those that claim to be unique, distinct, and exclusive.

Grace and peace!

Some people just like to take over any discussion even if they have almost no clue about the subject, I always try to stay away as much as possible from this kind.

Thank you for your reply!

Yeah, there are people like that. I am not sure if that is an intentional pretension or if they really thought they are familiar with a subject that they know little about.

With the advent of the internet, we have no excuses for being uninformed. Well said.

Ehhh, excuses are the easiest to find.

Engage Nr. 1! 😆

The only knowledge most everyone wants to know is what trending on facebook or any other social platform.Cause if facebook doesn't say so your a liar and you don't know what you talking about.What is going to happen to the knowledge that the seniors carry and take with them.What if the lights went out on the internet where would ppl turn? It's a terrible thought but very possible.How many forks is the blockchain gonna take before it's all forgotten?

Do your own research and question everything. Don't accept stories, especially from the mainstream media, at face value. They have an agenda. And it is not there to serve us.

Youre right, but at some point, especially these days, research will reach a point, where you will not have the possibility to know whats is really true and what not? And then you will have to rely on your intuition. !ALIVE

What is your intuition's answer to this question: Do we live in "the Matrix"? 😁

Thank you for stopping by!

Oh thats a good question 😃
Yes we live in a kind of matrix, but its totaly different to everything we can imagine. Its no fixed matrix raster, its more like a foam floating or something like this

People need to learn to do their own research and question everything because if there is one thing we should understand is some people will try and take advantage it is their nature.

More open conversations and debates are needed.😎

TRUE, but so many people are so so lazy and just prefer to be dumb, it's almost a losing battle trying to fight this.

I know friend we are living in a world where people are just waiting for someone to do everything for them. No one will learn anything this way and we end up in clownland !LOL

The best thing we can do is work on our personal environment then we will start to see the change spread around the world.

Teaching children to be kind to others whilst learning and challenging themselves is the best way to put that change in place.

With the right focus, effort and tools we can move mountains.
Reminds me of the chinese proverb
“The man who moved a mountain was the one who began carrying away small stones.”

Have a blessed and successful one, stay positve mate we got this, rough to smooth is just the way it is😎☯️

Knowledge is power and the world would lose a lot of knowledge without search engines. Thanks for sharing.

True, search engines changed the world for the better in so many ways.

Thank you for stopping by!

Anytime. I seen the tag line 😉

I actually liked the time when access to information wasn't democratized to such a degree that one needed to learn stuff because they weren't at one click distance to finding out what they needed. It's true, now you still have to know what to search for, which isn't always trivial.

About staying informed, that's important. At the same time, one needs to develop a nose for detecting manipulation, because this is a major weapon and bad information can be even worse than no information.

"I actually liked the time when access to information wasn't democratized to such a degree"...

Most probably because you still had access to more information than many others. Me learning to do something by myself, something that could take me days or months, instead of being able to access that info almost instantly and then doing the same thing in hours or days, I really can't compare.

About detecting manipulation, this can't be done if we are constantly fed with only one sided info. That's why digging on your own is important, being informed only from your country's TV or media channels will never be a solution.
