Socratic Insights To Platonic Wits by Wisdom University
Do you struggle with big questions like what is Truth? Or even smaller ones, like the best way to make a difficult choice? Maybe to go forward, you need to step back… about 2,000 years.
The last 170 years have seen a rapid expansion in human thought and technology.
It’s strange to think there was a time when you couldn’t instantly communicate with anyone.
The answer to any question is just a click away.
Yet, we seem more lost than ever.
The interconnectivity of modern life has left many people feeling overwhelmed.
Today, we wrestle with the consequences of information saturation.
In fact, in the 2019 study “Accelerating Dynamics of Collective Attention,” scientists presented empirical evidence showcasing the escalating trend of our collective attention span’s fragmentation.
Published in Nature Communications, the study provides supporting data on how today’s modern world hurts the quality of information we consume.
But beyond that, it can also lead to insights on modernity’s negative effects on our critical thinking, decision-making, and even empathy.
Greater access hasn’t always translated to material gains for many people.
Worse, we appear to be more divided as a society and public distrust in today’s experts is at an all-time high.
Who do we turn to for answers?
It may be that we need to see our modern problems through an ancient lens.
