Do all the content creators on the left and the right who spend all their time tearing the other side down and mocking them actually believe the stuff they are spewing? Could it be that they are just playing a character and dishing out content that their audience craves in a self fulfilling loop?

Our world is fractured. The internet brought everyone closer and closer till we got too close, there was an explosion and now we are drifting apart. Is this what the big Bang was like?

What is the reason for the popularity of outspoken and "politically incorrect" politicians around the world?

My sense is that in a world where you have to watch everything you say for fear of retribution, these high octane personalities become aspirational figures for the average person.

When I was very young I spent countless hours obsessing over three questions

Who am I?
Where am I?
What time is it?

Then I hit upon a fourth question:
Does it matter?

That's when I found peace.

Here to try to make sense of the world we live in through the perspectives of others while also sharing my perspective which could be useful to others who could also be here with a similar objective? Wish me luck!
