In the stimulation chaos of today’s society, it is nearly impossible to stop and focus in silence on one specific thing without an enormous amount of self control. Every person is forced to learn something new at an accelerating pace, and by falling off the wagon one is left out of society faster and younger than ever before.
Even though we now know thousands of times more than our predecessors, we wear out mentally much faster. Countless of minds are being sacrificed for the Omniscient Man of the Future to come to fruition. What’s the price you are willing to pay? You know; they can lead you to a slaughter, like a horse to a water. They can’t force you to drink, but do you?
