Words Without Weight: How We Ended Up Here

April 22, 2025

We keep hearing it everywhere — “gaslighting,” “woke,” “narcissist.”

And now, the new complaint is that these words are being thrown around too loosely.

They are.

But here’s the thing no one wants to admit:

A lot of people are just recycling what they hear.

Not because they truly understand these concepts,

but because it makes them feel like they’re part of something bigger —

like they’re “in the know.”

Conceptual knowledge without deep understanding is dangerous.

It’s dangerous because this same unconscious recycling crowd?

They also vote.

They also shape culture.

They also consume media without question.

And when you step back for just a second —

you realize: this is how we got the leadership, the chaos, the divisiveness we have today.

It’s not about left.

It’s not about right.

It’s about the blind leading the blind.

The unexamined minds making life-altering choices

because regurgitating feels easier than thinking.

Wake the fuck up.

Seriously.

Your life — and your future — depends on it.
