Do you think most people within society have come to accept the lies and the illusion instead of the truth and reality?

It can seem that way. A lot of people gravitate towards comfortable illusion bc the truth is often uncomfortable and inconvenient. The truth can be hard to face, but it’s what sets you free.
@HumanEarth oh puleez, I have you muted precisely because of the nonsense you spew and your habit of pretending to be a female in violation of the TOS
HumanEarth · F
Not pretending nothing. Just block me. I don't support your trump and bidden friends

@HumanEarth You have to understand that hating the other side of the political aisle is all these people have. It's how they rationalize in their head that they're intelligent and their failures aren't the fault of their own.

Perspectives are interesting things, because one perspective's of reality is another's fantasy.

It's when the vast majority agree, that reality is even approached.

50/50 ±5 isn't reality.

There is no consensus on reality or truth when one is constantly fighting the other. It tantamounts to a M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction) mentality.

Most folks prefer to live by time ...when it's an illusion. Clock time, one thing. Psychological time is another. Livin' in the past...this happened to me .that. Whatever. Or in the future. I gotta get married, finish school, have a baby...and THEN I'll be happy.

The past is a memory in your head. The future is anticipation. Once the future gets here ..it's called Right Now.

Right Now. It's all there is. Your entire life happens right now.

Not exactly! I’m just tired of the stress of hearing about it and seeing it everywhere. I want my boring old life back!

Same, I wish I could take the "Black Pill," and go back to my old life.
tobynshorty · 51-55, F
@calicuz black pill? Send me a few🤭
AngelUnforgiven · 51-55, F
Most no, some yes! We all aren't sheep and cult members.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@AngelUnforgiven You are...
AngelUnforgiven · 51-55, F
@LordShadowfire no my ankle grabbing friend you have me confused
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@AngelUnforgiven You're right. I was thinking of someone else with a similar themed avatar. Sorry.
Iwillwait · M
As a whole, yes.

No.

Some will accept any rubbish they are told if it makes them feel happier or meets their prejudices; and even become quite aggressive if shown their belief is rubbish.

Most people do not want lies or illusions.

However, the question is vague and impossible to answer sensibly, because it uses
the lies and the illusion
- [my underlining] so the definite article without defining anyhting.

The fact that enough people voted for Trump to get him elected would indicate that's a yes
KingofBones1 · 46-50, M
A lot of them yes that's why they actually believed Big Orange gives a damn about us as people he does not he sees himself as a king. And wants a kingdom. Also people have bought into the lies of World Peace through iron fisted dictatorship communism and stalinism was a lie and still is.

Think there was a line in a movie that says, you cant handle the truth.
I’m certain of it, here.
Donotfolowme · 51-55, F
Everyone likes to hear the comforting words
calicuz · 56-60, M
Yes, and the likes of MAGA prove the lies and illusions are preferred to the uncomfortable truth.

@Rolexeo

BTW: We DO have the solutions. The first one being leave people alone. What others do is no one elses business.

@Rolexeo

What extreme left my friend? The Right is so far right, everything the left says makes sense.

even truth can be twisted and distorted
Comfort and convenience will win for most humans

I see this is another post by one of those antivax nut jobs. The most recent thing they posted on their own account was some BS about COVID vaccines causing cancer.

I feel like @SW-Questions is being abused the way we used to abuse anonymous posting on Yahoo Answers.
HumanEarth · F
Yes, the mass public are nothing but sheep. They do as their told, believe everything the media tells them, and take every pill and vaccine the doctor says.
Rolexeo · 26-30, M
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout They like the idea of it more than the thing itself, like with most things
