Why We're Living in the Age of Fear
We live in the age of fear because the hose of information that floods us is constantly opened further: Letters → Telegram → Telephone → Radio → TV → Internet → Mobile Internet.Human beings need time to manage their emotions. Time spent waiting. Time being bored. Time when NO new information, not even positive, is arriving.We are constantly distracted and thus increasingly unable to sort out our feelings. That is the reason.And distracted parents that can't give their children at least 15 minutes of absolutely undivided attention per day worsen their offspring's ability to manage emotions even further.That is why Zuckerberg/Facebook's idea "just flood everyone with everything and it will get better" is dead-wrong.What Facebook could do to really help the world is turning off it's platform for one day each week.
