So no surprise that Deep Questioning & Thinking tend not to be encouraged in societal activities, even though #DeepQuestioning across all society might lead us to find better ways to raise quality of life. This is sadly a story going back thousands of years, and tends to be resistant to change.

What if our media & news #culture encouraged deliberative discussion of benefits & costs of new ideas/actions to refine them for everyone's benefit , not just allow the issues to be debated badly (as they often are) causing good ideas/actions to be badly implemented or blocked?

If the concept of 'Purpose' is an emergent quality/feature of conscious thought, then isn't one's Purpose simply what one consciously thinks it to be?
If so, though, isn't it rather important to think deeply about the influences affecting one's thoughts on one's Purpose?

The ease with which we can be manipulated by malign persuasion based on shallow & poor reasoning suggests only a WIP.
