For a long time, I was under the impression that some people had reached a kind of enlightenment: that they’d figured things out — like gurus. People with answers, a solid foundation, true and factual beliefs that could not only be explained but scientifically proven. Now I think otherwise. COVID showed countless experts saying contradictory things; politicians panicking in the middle of a crisis. Today, we have war in Europe, a narcissist in the US, another empire rising in the East, Epstein’s island… There is no system that truly works. No one knows what to do. Everyone is adapting to their own needs and ambitions. There is no enlightenment. There are no all-knowing individuals who can tell you what to do simply because it’s „right.” Think for yourself. They know nothing.
