Why Are We Fighting Each Other?

Which One?

There are so many issues to contend with in our fast changing world, that prioritizing the most important will never be easy reaching a consensus might be impossible. Most people would agree that we as a species have many complex problems to deal with. From institutional racism and gender equality to the implications of general AI and cyber and nuclear warfare, there is a long list of causes to fight for and ideas to get behind. To keep our sanity, however, we pick and choose which ones to support and which ones to ignore and further - which to ridicule.

Your Support Matters!

Supporting a popular cause is simple; simply agree with someone who brings up a subject and voila! you're supporting it. Give a little money to “a good cause”, put on the tee-shirt and collect your high-fives! Not much research is necessary, just nod and smile. Going with the flow is easy and pain free. I think most people would prefer to get behind safe causes that are generally accepted by society.

Where Ignorance is Bliss, 'Tis Folly to be Wise

Ignorance is vastly safer; “what problem?” Many people will refuse to acknowledge the existence of a problem no matter the amount of evidence.

'That could never happen, the government would never allow it! Global elite, deep state, financial market manipulation, rigged elections, weather warfare, fluoride in public water supplies, vaccine programs hijacked by the CIA- preposterous!'

Ridicule takes more effort, you have to learn at least enough about the subject to have a counter argument. A smattering of facts and a few one-liners are all that's needed to properly ridicule a subject. Outside of trolls, ridicule can be a response to an idea breaking down a complex belief system such as, ‘the government is a benign entity with your best interests in mind’. There is an immediate reaction when you threaten deep seated belief systems and people will go to great lengths to keep their mental constructs of society alive and well.

nothing to see here, everything is fine

The Pain of Knowledge

the Geoengineering or Solar Radiation Management discussion seems to be caught between willful ignorance and ridicule. Most people are unwilling to endure the discomfort it takes to go against the grain of popular culture, and their default setting is to try to ignore things that cause them pain. Others have no idea that anything is going on at all. Government cronies and trolls will always try to ridicule and discredit the people sounding the alarm but the apathetic willful ignorance of the masses is the real problem. So what do we do?

Look up! Look around and ask questions about what is being put into your food, water, medicine and especially the air. Then ask who is profiting from these activities. Geoengineering is as real as it is gets and Harvard scientist David Keith among others has a plan of action to bring this crime against humanity to fruition. He lays out the game plan for anyone willing to look. Do your own research like I finally did and you may find yourself on the other side of the argument, sounding the alarm yourself.
