Among the patterns of things I will just catch right away in society (i.e. studying humans), I catch contradictions the most. I have a hard time not calling them out. It then makes me feel like a lot of people get offended at being called out and want to "cancel" me because of perceived insensitivity. I laugh, but I also worry if the world is really getting to a place comparable to that movie, Idiocracy.
