At this point, I no longer have the energy enough to investigate things of this nature. It seems like there are two realities. The one online, and the one offline. And neither of them even resemble each other. One is uber critical, uber sensitive, uber offended, uber vigilant, ready to fight, ready to point out every tiny, minute, minuscule little bit of negativity that the world has to offer so they can yell about it endlessly... and the other just wants a job, a place to live and to raise their kids in peace.

At one time, in my younger days, I participated in the former. Now, I live with the latter.

It's better that way.

Interesting take, I suppose it sums up how I feel about these matters lately. I guess it naturally comes with age? Or maybe we just get tired? Sometimes I wish the world could be offline again, even if for a brief moment.

I believe it's tied to aging, yes. But not in the way most would think. As we age, we begin to see how very un-black-and-white everything really is. We see that there is context in almost everything. We start noticing how biases, motivations and other subtleties play into how people behave, and when that happens, you will naturally come to the conclusion that the world is far too complex for snap-judgments... which then leads to the last understanding: unless you are extraordinarily famous and influential or powerful, you only have control over yourself, and any attempt at reaching beyond that is almost always going to be futile.

If you want to have an impact, just be the best person you can be and help others as much as you can offline.
