re: The world in general is becoming an ever more angry, blood thirsty, and violent place.

Because you were ignorant to the violence around you.
And that isn’t a bad thing.
But I wasn’t. I went to the absolute worst JR high school in EBRP in the 70’s, and we were sent home for a riot and a stabbing the first year I was there, so it’s not as if I lived under a rock or something. It was a really really bad school, but this just wasn’t reflected in the rest of the city at the time, but an isolated piece of doo doo in the city, but now that’s become more of that which makes up the city.

You are absolutely correct, and that’s my rub with social media and media in general these days is that it pumps it into people’s heads all day long, and maybe that is one of the drivers that affects people IRL, but the fact that life is far different than the one I lived most of my life in is simply impossible to miss.

The dividing line is those raised on computers and video games vs those who were free range.
People are less capable because machines think for us.

How do you know it was isolated? Unless you watched the 30 sec clip on the nightly news, you didn’t know about all the other shite happening in the city.
That kind of stuff wasn’t as isolated as you think. You just were not aware of it.

But I wasn’t.
