Just read something today that made me think about life these days

Well what do you expect when people are incapable of thinking for themselves anymore?

The reason is the constant distraction from thinking presented in the form of round the clock entertainment accessible anywhere at our fingertips.

The article I read was about many things unrelated to this, but the one sentence that stood out to me was (paraphrasing); "it used to be that the philosophical standard was 'I think, therefore I am.' "

"Now the standard is, 'I am observed, therefore I am'."

So true it seems, so sad, and so true.

Only if a person is paranoid that is.

There is another way to approach this:

We all join consciously, therefore we are the one. Whether we are or are not, we are still the one.
