Question

Help answer this question below.

I really would like to know why it seems that people, in general, the past few years, reject wisdom, intelligence and reason? It appears that there is massive movement towards humanity embracing superstition and discounting reason. Why?

    Wisdom, intelligence, and reason take effort. Why think when you can have some charismatic person on the TV tell you the fundamental 'truths' about everything and get told all the 'facts' you'll ever need?

    Look at cars for the signs of our laziness. We can't shift or use a clutch; many cars don't even offer a stick any more. We can't roll down the windows ourselves; they are powered. We can't even be bothered to turn the headlights on/off; they are automatic. And now rain-sensing wipers? As a result of this laziness, our driving skills have arophied. Extend this to the rest of our lives....
