Had a funny insight

[ToaTokuchi]

Imagine that there was a world in the future where people didn't sleep.

Instead they just kind of rested and didn't move for certain periods.

I imagine they'd talk among each other as follows:

"Sleep? Isn't that some ancient mystical mumbo jumbo?"

"Eyes are meant to see, what's the point of closing them? That sounds retarded!"

"You claim that on certain periods of the day people would just go and close their eyes together? That sounds like some religious ritual for good luck."

"Well, we know that there are certain nutjobs who try to reach the altered state called "sleep", but as far as I know the only methods are the illegal knockout pills or lying down with eyes closed which takes years of mastery to achieve even 10 minutes of the so-called "sleep"."

"Conspiracy theorists claim that in the past people would do the "sleep" and manage to grow taller, have more energy and a fresh mind. That's all dumb if you ask me. What's wrong with you the way you are already?"

...

See where I'm getting with this?

The only time in human history where people didn't use psychic powers is this one right now.

That's for multiple reasons, no real religious practices, modified DNA where Rh- individuals are the original human DNA holders and the rest of us have suppressed (but not removed!) spirituality, demonization of such usually natural powers.

If anyone you try to point to spirituality gives you something similar to the quotes above (substituted for any spiritual idea), feel free to remember this story which I thought up and tell them .

 

P.S.: the "insight" part of the title is in the realization that something so natural and commonplace could be easily turned against us, as spirituality as a whole has been suppressed
