Water usage is probably my biggest. Living in a high desert, my wife and MIL see no problem with filling one side of the sink with hot soapy water to wash a few dishes because “that’s just how I’ve always done it”, to watering the grass and plants for hours. All of this makes me mental.
Neil Postman was right.
Our educational models and methods are changing for the worse.
TV and the internet are terrible mediums for public or political discourse and this has exacerbated many of our existing issues.
Our culture has become more shallow and has started to lack something profound because of how we utilize technology for education, business, and entertainment.
Things will not improve until we change our relationship with these technologies.
EDIT: several words.
