Why the hate for wisdom?

[Louisabell]

doesn't it seem like we are losing our compassion into a form of insanity, laughing at other's suffering?

In a way, yes. It's the cynicism of the Age and it takes no prisoners.

We are so privy to so much information that is deeply disturbing and traumatic - wars, exploitation, systemic corruption, unthinkable cruelty...

There is not much people can do to stop themselves from fracturing, and so they laugh, because when you're able to dissociate from it, well it can sometimes appear to be one sick joke.
