Are you getting the sense that American society is regressing? Does it feel like you’re constantly trying to walk up an escalator that’s going down? If so, you’re probably thinking/wondering some of the following:

Why do we tolerate corruption from our government and corporations?

Why do we “root” for political parties and politicians like it’s a sport?

How long will we continue to trust the mainstream media outlets of our choice and refuse to look for alternatives?

When did the need to be right about everything become more important than doing what’s best for everyone collectively?

Do you think there’s a prize at the end of it all?

What are we all so afraid of?

Do you believe everything you’ve been taught as a kid and honestly have no desire to challenge any of it?

Shouldn’t we spend our time and energy in more productive ways than hating and demeaning other people because they share different beliefs?

Why must most conversations end in arguments and never find solutions?

Aren’t you tired of having blind faith in just about everything?

When did we decide that science should be politicized?
