Stewing in the Cauldron of the "Obvious"

aka. Pounding Sand Up Our Ass
That miniscule handful of people who would actually want to change the status quo to the benefit of future generations, are constantly stymied by the stagnant inertia of this decayed society. The word "obvious" itself has lost all useful value. In a society that can't handle any form of reality whatsoever, the fact that some risk or dysfunction is "obvious", means literally nothing. The bottom line in all of this is that today's thought dealers and the stoned Idiocracy at large, have not been sufficiently "motivated" to make changes...

A Short-Circuited Clusterfuck
In order for something "obvious" to have any value, then it would have to translate from fact into knowledge, then into judgement and finally lead to this bygone concept known as "action". I apologize for being so obvious as to where this diatribe is heading, but I thought it might be useful to explain how we ended up in this purgatory of continual inaction. Clearly, there seems to be some short-circuit in this daisy chain between obvious fact and failure to take any and all action. 

Breaking it down further, we know that due to the internet, human beings have never ever had as much data and facts available at their fingertips as they have now. So we know that the problem isn't at the root level.

Moving on to knowledge, we know that blogger rantings to the contrary, there are at least on paper some pretty intelligent people out there, if not deeply silo'd so as to maintain the all important plausible deniability of the status quo.

Which gets me to judgement. Clearly, the short-circuit is occurring somewhere after knowledge, likely before judgement and well before action.

I think we found the problem. In this working model of today's Idiocracy, as we suspected, the fact that something is obvious means less than nothing. Because obvious fact has no means by which to translate into actionable change.

"Obvious" risks and meaningful actions, have been wholly disconnected from each other in this dystopian hell.
