Think for yourself, question authority.
Throughout our collective human history, we have constantly fallen prey to the shortcoming of our genetic, three-dimensional, physical nature. Fear drives us to follow authority in the blink of an eye, unconsciously, obeying, and without questioning the ruling motive behind the external forces surrounding us.
It has been the authorities telling us that we are at a constant state of risk, where seeking fast comfort is our only form of true remedy, a cheap means to be at peace with ourselves. Order, rules, regulations, each being an injection of comfort, yet nothing more than snake oil to ease our minds amidst the ocean of chaos.
Social media, traditional media, governments, banking systems, the industrial complex, artificial intelligence. All are but mere instruments to maintain the umbrella over our heads, protecting us from the rain above. Seemingly, the world on the opposite side of the umbrella is frightening, terrorizing, yet without experience, whom are we to justify our shortcomings?
Is humanity ready to acknowledge the sunshine above the umbrella?
