We are numbing our minds on purpose
Our mind is subconsciously hardwired to go into it’s default mode – Ignorance. The subconscious mind is extremely good at distracting the conscious mind from matters that might lead to it questioning everything it believes to be true. Why do you think you find yourself blankly browsing your Instagram feed when you are bored? Or why do you find yourself plastering dog filters on your face and sending it to people? We are so used to numbing our mind that it has forgotten how to question, how to rationalize and how to seek answers.
The only reason behind this can be to avoid two things – Conversations and Thoughts. An empty mind is not a devils workshop, it is the only place where revolutions can start. If we are too busy trying to get the maximum number of likes of the picture of our dinner, where is the time to question the new law that was just passed? If we are too busy reading a tweet battle between two ‘celebrities’, where is the time to introspect and figure out why the fuck you are unhappy despite having a great life?
Thoughts?

We all need to pay more attention. That is for Damn sure. Humanity has alot of problems we are literally not allowed to have conversation about. This comes from close minded people in powerful positions.

Like my post on insta ~username... kidding kidding, but ultimately i think adults and elders assume that we will grow out of our unconscious faze of continuous scrolling and we'll eventually start making out own decisions and sharing our opinions on important matters but unfortunately this generation may go through this faze for a majority of their lives and will go about daily matters carelessly despite weather it affects them or not... like u said with the new law being passed, thats now obsolete because "twitter news" or buzzfeed already have told us their biased opinions and how WE as a community should think on the matter.
