Smartphones have advanced so much, computerizes news and social have advanced so much, there is a grinding mechanical conflict between people. The self-deception world-wide over oil since 1970 has grown to be self-deception as a faith system in news, what people choose to read and listen to, etc.
Goodness itself has been disappearing. #GoodnessItself - I don't mean 'consumer goods", I mean compassion, love, kindness, helping each other, the GOOD ideals of "peace on earth" and harmony.
