Thus Spoke, and no-one listened: A read for none and All.

A thought on the discourse and conversation of our current times.

All we have is before us, all we need has been laid out, discussed, directed, enacted, and abolished. A cycle of knowing and a cycle of knowing less.  The foundation of sense and rationality has been fought against forever, if there was ever a time when the rational side won, it’s been lost in the years and years of translation. Is ignorance truly bliss? The written word was presented as the catalyst of knowledge, Gutenberg the engineer of progress. No one could for see that life’s work will largely go unread, worse off they’ve gone unheard. It takes patience and discipline to listen, for a creature that craves action. Action through inaction, like voyeuristic vampires draining the life blood out of society through the contents of a screen. What led to the crack cannot be identified, forever it will be theorized and debated, shouted out and also conversed quietly. This is the true nature of entertainment, its been disguised in a myriad of mediums throughout history. Conversations are life’s everyday theatre, and who doesn’t want to be the star of that show. So we’ll go on yelling in the town square, all will hear and very few will listen. It’s all been said before, it’s been taught and learned. It’s been said as much as things change, they stay the same. That is the cycle.  That is what is known but again forgotten. Civilization: a systematic prolonged amnesia. Progress will be made, to what side of the cycle is unknown, as it always is.  To pretend to know is the game of fools.

It’s all been done and said before us, who chooses to listen will decide whats after us. Thus they once spoke, and still no-one listened.
