Humanity raising it's consciousness is solution to our problems.
What does "raising consciousness" mean, and can you point out any countries where this has been achieved, to the benefit of everyone?
The problem is, a population with heightened awareness will be the undoing of our governments hence why they try and dumb people down through the media.
What does "heightened awareness" mean, and what difference would it make?
Since Western democracies allow anyone to enter politics on the basis of a popular vote and remove an incumbent government under this same principle, it seems a bit daft to claim that there's some sort of conspiracy designed to "dumb down people through the media", as if this would somehow benefit the current government in any way.
"Hey, I have an idea! Let's dumb down the public via the media!"
"OK, what will that do?"
"It will stop them from removing us from power".
"How?"
"It just will, OK?!"
"But what about our democratic political system?"
"Oh bugger... well let's just dumb them down for the hell of it. Via the media, of course".
"But we don't control the media. This is a liberal western democracy, remember? We have to keep the media sweet because they can make or break an entire election campaign".
"Oh bugger... well let's just spread some conspiracy theories, then".
"What will that do?"
"It'll be good for the lulz... and it'll give us an idea of how many people are already so dumbed down that there's nothing more we can do to them..."
I went through the acid phase was when I was 15-18 back in 91-93 when acid was all the rage. Aside from that I've hardly done any acid since. I did do some 8 months ago though.
Acid was all the rage in the 60s and 70s. Anyone taking it in the 90s was either 20 years too late to be fashionable, or trying to be cooler than they actually were.
