The "cult of sameness"...


The cult of sameness.

We live in a time of historical prosperity with an unlimited supply of like buttons [see photo]. Where is my"dislike button"?


This "cult of sameness" is pervasive. For example, even when we think disaster is about the strike - we all think the same. Climate Change will end the world soon. The unvaccinated are spreading the covid virus to all the vaccinated folk. There will be a war between America and Russia and/or between America and China. Nuclear power plants are too dangerous to add to our electricity supply grids. And so on and so on.


But... The one that really gets me agitated is the notion that "we live in a time of rapid change". Ha, ha, ha... It is a joke, right? The clear and evident truth is that all this rapid change is bogged down in "one think" and "sameness"-


I believe the thing that keeps me sane is that I loath "sameness". I do not think like those who run this "cult of sameness". I do not act like those who hit like buttons for "sameness". And... I definitely do not believe in the "cult of sameness".


Richard.
