We live in a universe of perpetual confusion. As soon as a scientist, leader or mystic comes forward and says that “I have the answer”, a new person always comes along and shows us all that they may have had some parts right, but never all of the answer correct.
The further we push the boundaries of knowledge, the more we find how little we actually know. Which makes it hard for people these days to come up with any kind of definite answer, any way to get a solid frame of reference around the current circumstances of the world.
It looks on the surface like the current system is falling apart, but there seems to be very few alternatives being put out there as to what anyone should do about it. Every concept that is truth also contains its false nature. Every path seems to have as many bad points as good points.
There are so many people sick of the current way of doing things, on having to degrade the planet and billions of its inhabitants for the privilege of consuming crap and enslaving each other. But there are no real clear alternatives, or new models coming together.
There really has not been one for a long time.
