“You can avoid reality, but you can’t avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.” Ayn Rand    

In his Fall of Civilizations podcast, writer and producer Paul Cooper takes the listener through the historical events leading up to the last days of the world’s great civilizations. Focusing especially upon the lives of the people who were there and particularly on how they understood what was happening around them. After listening I couldn’t help but ask myself,  how much do people today really know and understand about our world and the events that are taking place in our time?

  Although we can now see anywhere in the world in real time, it seems we have never been less willing to agree on what it is we all see. We may be looking at the same thing, but are clearly looking at it through different optics. That means many of us are using lenses that either can’t or won’t deliver sharp, clearly defined truth. These low resolution views are everywhere in our culture, and are passing into the unfiltered bloodstream of our consciousness. 

 Most people didn’t choose the lens they use to see the world,  it was given to them. Few ever question whether it works properly by checking to make sure the things they are seeing actually exist and are real.  The pressure to see what our tribe sees has never been greater. Being willing to recognize and stand on the often controversial and unpopular truths of our time requires clarity and courage. A Higher Resolution Podcast is dedicated to providing both.
