Learning to live with ambiguity...


Ambiguity is pervasive.

At a time when social media and new technologies spread "ambiguity", not "clarity", the strange choice of most people is to form cults, pockets of group think, and conformity.


Within modern cults [where mandated conformity is the norm] ambiguity passes for clarity [see photo]. In this state of "universal ambiguity" it is the lies that slip through uncontested. When these lies get piled on top of each other we get increased levels of uncertainty. And we all know that uncertainty breeds fear. In this manufactured state of fear the common good is forsaken. Indeed within this "state of fear" those with wealth [corporates], power [governments], and status [social platform influencers] get to exert their will on the masses.


Learning to live with ambiguity is not difficult if, and only if, you know yourself to be an independent thinker. If you can sustain"independent thoughts" inside your head then your "inner voice" will become your honest guide towards reason or reasonableness. Once you establish your points of difference from those seek to project their lies onto you then you will form automated habits that maintain you as a free agent in a world of mandated behaviours. Furthermore, you will be better able to avoid the "siren calls" of the cults that perpetuate this current state of ambiguity.
