When We Can Hear Nothing Amidst The Noise
Philosophy for Rebels 24 - The Unheard
Philosophy for Rebels: A few words whose purpose is to entice thought exploration. It is about the journey, not the destination. More wisdom is found by thinking deeply about a single word than by reading thousands without stopping to think at all.
Philosophy for Rebels 24 - The Unheard
There has never been more being said than right now. However, nobody is listening.
We are in competition with each other to be heard, but have no time to listen to one another.
Therefore, we speak more often and with more words, because no one responds. No one responds because they feel the tidal wave of noise from every voice demanding attention.
It is a behavioral trap leading to ever more behaviors that intervene in the very connection we want, all facilitated by algorithms that reward this spiral into the societal orchestra of noise, in which we all become deaf in its wake.
“The greatest barrier to communication is the illusion of it in the mind of the sender.”
― William H. Whyte
Do I exist if there is no one listening?
