Steak Umm, No DMs And This Can't Be Normal

Instead of trying to find answers or get facts, people are numbing out and scrolling. Sending DMs on Facebook. The world is literally spending a record amount of time on social media. Meanwhile, very few people are even questioning the government or whoever is behind the draconian response as Americans are forced to stay home. No one can leave their house and the government is even asking people to report fellow citizens for breaking the "rules." It sounds like a science fiction movie. Is anyone questioning what's happening? Today on the Spiritual Spiral, I continue to examine the dystopian world I see around me. When I go to Whole Foods, not only do I see people wearing masks, but I see people filled with fear, terrified to walk within six feet of one another and if anyone coughs or sneezes, the immediate thought is, "GET ME OUT OF HERE!" People are so caught up with the rolling count of Covid -19 deaths that no one is thinking about the financial, sociological or psychological impact of being forced to stay home. I also share thoughts on Steak Umm's Twitter Feed, the disconnection created from DMs and I talk about a fantastic article by David Brooks in the New York Times where he discusses the psychological impact created by social distancing. If you enjoy the show, there are a few things you can do that would be incredibly helpful.
