The most thought-provoking thing in our thought-provoking time is that we are still not thinking.
– Martin Heidegger (1889-1976)
[Heidegger is dense. I think he’s brilliant, but I’m still wading through his ideas. That’s why I love 8-Bit Philosophy – they make convoluted wisdom a helluva lot more palatable. Thanks for joining the third edition in the Quotable Quickie: Existentialism series for NaBloPoMo 2015.]

The statement is certainly true, but I think it’s better to say that we are thinking about the wrong things. Like how Starbucks made a cup without snowflakes, rather than the fact that people are starving in other countries or how genocide is happening somewhere on this planet.

True true. We are thinking furiously about so many things – with so much information bombarding us everyday, how could we not? But, like you said, our priorities are all flipped around.
