For yet another snapshot of "Average Joe on the street' and what he thinks about stuff like this, read the comments at the end of the article linked in Fredski's OP.
Yes quite so....it seems there are a lot of people with an education made up entirely of news headlines and childish conjecture...yet they skate across the surface of the entirety of mans knowledge, seemingly unaware....I guess the one guy there sums it up, I'm bored by this, I'm going to go see a movie....ie; living in the moment....all the time... this seems to be a philosophy put forth by new age gurus touting this as a path to happiness....Well does mindlessness = happiness ?...or is it more likely a path to ruin? I have to agree with you....
