It is unsettling to think about that we only represent and perceive a small, not too important slice of reality, and it is impossible for us to know it completely. It is scary that, due to the infinite complexity of the world, our fate is mostly unpredictable, and mutually exclusive truths can exist. Our anxiety derives from the fact that our seemingly stable frames are vanishing, and our world is no longer the World. The more and more threatening climate catastrophe, the streams of refugees, the horrors of terrorism and wars, the world plague and as the accompanying phenomenon of them the global economic crisis affects billions of people.

As a result of the social media websites using amoral algorithms everyone finds only those things that strengthen their personal beliefs. That is why we easily achieve the illusion of understanding, and if one does not make any efforts never has to meet new points of views. By means of instant satisfaction and infinite fun the tools of our time make us become children, who are happy with the virtual rewards of the games, with the simple schemes and explanations and easy judging. Moreover, if something is extremely bothering to us, those can be easily excluded from our consciousness. Thus it is cheap to gain good feelings with the lack of self-reflection, however reality can only be seen distorted even compared to our possibilities.

What kind of a reality is shown by an infantile society? What kind of coping methods can it teach to the future generations? Is it able to grow up to the challenge to help forthcoming generations to cause less harm to the generations following them whom, due to being human, are struck by the sins of their forerunners’ short sightings?
