The Problem With Decision-Paralysis

 Paralysis generally means 'something' has occurred which interrupts your normal movement/reaction.  It should be noted....it could be a temporary thing....or a permanent condition.

In the past ten years, I think a growing number of people have faced what I'd call decision-paralysis.  

You have a plan, which under all normal or pre-existing situations....the plan would unfold, and generally lead you to the right end-result.  

In this new era....after you get a step or two into your perceived reality...you've had to stop and review the mess.  You are hindered from plan A, and now wondering how plan B might built.

But now, in this present reality, your decision process gets more and more crapped-up.  

You watch Channel Nine news and come to realize one evening that they often mislead you on certain things.  You watch Doctor Doom on some CNN interview, and realize his medical advice is not sound.  You watch some idiot from the Bush era (2005) that says five things which are absolutely BS.  You attend some church service where the minister has dished a parable which he has slanted for propaganda purposes.  

You start to reach a decision-paralysis situation.....where you know that you've been fed false information and can't reach a 'feel-sure' stage about the situation.  It's too complicated, and the whole landscape is cluttered with fakeness.

In the end, I suspect most people will start to step back a couple of steps....disregard most news events, and distrust just about everything that the news media generates.  

The Chant Story

 We are into NCAA football season.  Typically, I might care to some degree (I hate professional football these days).

An unusual 'thing' started up this weekend via the college games and televised situations.  Fans at the Carolina Coast game....started a chant...."F**k Joe Biden".  You can go view YouTube and find clips of the game....at least presently.  I expect YouTube to take them down by mid-day today.

Occurring at the Virginia Tech game as well?  Well.....yeah.

The Auburn game?  Yeah, it occurred there as well.

My humble belief is that by this coming weekend....most all football games will have the "F**k Joe Biden" chant going on, and probably spread to professional NFL games as well.

Cutting off the sound?  You might be able to do that that a dozen times...but if there were a hundred chants?  No.  What I expect is fake fan background noise to be geared up for these games by the networks, where you watch an entire game with fake noise.  

This flipping over to major league baseball?  Probably.  

Social and news media having created this 'creature' (the environment that we now live in)?  Absolutely, but at this point....it's like one of those Japanese monster movies where you have no idea where the monster is going to end up in the next scene.
