The Downward Facing Spiritual Spiral
Society & Culture:Personal Journals
Are people more interested in seeking affirmation than seeking new information? Since everyone seemingly has an opinion on almost everything, have we created a world where people are less curious in finding the truth? Today on the Spiritual Spiral, I begin the show by offering an apology, or at least an explanation as to why I became so fascinated by Covid-19. I actually think our cultural response to the virus can be attributed to the power of fear and the media and our culture's obsession with social media. I talk about a wonderful conversation Ellen Page had with Marc Maron where they discuss the challenges faced by people who are sensitive. I read an excerpt from Jon Rappoport's latest blog where he talk's about catching "Psychological Covid-19." Even I have moments where I think I have a sore throat, I feel anxious and think I "caught Covid." Finally, after reading Jerry Seinfeld's op-ed piece about the unshakable power of NYC as well as various articles about the apparent demise of New York City, I wonder who is actually correct? If everyone believes their own opinion is the truth and if people are more concerned with being right, does that mean we're less interested in finding the truth?
