In a recent post, Does Life Have Meaning? I wrote about the plethora of recent social media posts on the supposed meaninglessness of our lives.
In addition to the other points I made in the original post, this subject appears to be a “first world problem.” Think for a moment of those living in areas that are war-torn, impoverished, disease-ridden, or ruled by cruel tyrants. How may have the bandwidth to concern themselves with the meaning of life and to bemoan its monotony?
Yes, as Socrates said, “The unexamined life is not worth living,” but it’s possible that the over-examined life–as well as the unappreciated life–may be just as bad.
Sadly, a significant number of U.S. voters believe what House Speaker Mike Johnson says here, i.e., that “God isn’t finished with America yet,” and that “We need people (from the Republican party) of character and integrity,” as if there are any.
But what is that number, roughly?
After living through the first 18 month of Trump’s second term, with all the lies, the incompetence, and the corruption, this number has dwindled to a point that the Republicans are bracing themselves for the worst.
Republicans Manipulate American’s Ignorance — and it Doesn’t Take Too Much Skill
I’m sure some of these excuses are extremely common in the minds of those making huge profits by destroying our planet.
