It is rather saddening to be reminded that a widely celebrated celebrity, of the sensational variety, needs to inform us about a humanitarian travesty of unspeakable proportions. We are now living in an age that is defined by its unprecedented accounts; much of it is visually captivated through blatant acts of atrocity. The definition of brutality, barbarity, and butchery are now regarded as terms that are causally and disingenuously aired in the news media. There is an overarching problem with humanity and that specifically concerns the dynamics of the human condition. One of the main reasons why we continue to fail humankind is largely derived from the fact that we fail to act as a species simultaneously.
Information is readily available to us in seconds and through that avenue we can instantaneously communicate with each other. We only have ourselves as obstacles to the fact. Ideas and the knowledge that derives from them does not discriminate on a basis of culture, color, or creed. Nonetheless, facts that can be taken away from both create points of discrimination which go on to pathologically form sociological paradoxes which spell out recipes for cataclysmic hypocrisy ; from there, entire cultures and nations are built from these discriminatory discrepancies that selectively acknowledge raw atrocities. Maybe that is something that contributes to the biological dilemma of human sapience?
There is no other species on the face of the Earth that can intellectually compartmentalize its thoughts; at least none that we are reluctantly aware of on our own dimensional plain of reality. Sapience ponders reactive virtue which is characteristically instinctive; an act of instinct is not necessarily synonymous with one of intellect. With the burden of our biological sapience we are able to compartmentalize what is and isn’t human based on an adopted worldview which discriminates between both. In an age where information is widely ubiquitous, empiricism should succeed where common sense has failed.
