Great post, thank you @artemislives!

Crypto vs Traditional Fiat Head In The Sand is the funniest, LOL
In Italy, we also have pro-vaccinist vs free-vax: it's totally a crazy world, isn't it.

I completely agree with you: all these things distract us from what it's really important.
This is why I send you a huge hug, I switch off my PC and will start meditating.

Bye Bye! ;) :*

Huge hugs back to you @amico And much gratitude for the resteem love! :) I am enjoying so much more creating and writing and things which really DO contribute. And I appreciate your meditative vibes helping to change the cosmic milieu for us all. Have an awesome week!

Agreed, great post.

There are usually more than two options, but language often leaves people trapped. New general paradigms can be created and must be created.

X versus notX thinking also just leads to everyone being divided and conquered. Especially because just because (0 1) is not less than or equal to (1 0) doesn't mean the remaining possibility, that it's somehow greater than it. Rather in this case and others its just something yet different.

What's going on right now is mostly what happens when people get nervous because things are not going well: they decide to move some shared things around, anything. Rearrange. Meanwhile somebody else decides to move the thing in the opposite direction. And suddenly there is fighting. Which was often the goal originally, subconsciously, as it distracts toward the less relevant away from the more relevant fundamental problems that caused the nervousness. People feel better, because arguing over position of chairs is ultimately less stressful than thinking about something really dreadful. But less positive things actually get done then.

Nice perspective, @tibra Sort of rearranging deck chairs on the titanic. Yes, I "get" exactly what you mean. I love the way the steem community encourages diversity of opinion and deliberately steps away from this endless, depleting, destructive dualism. Thanks for stopping by! :)

Thank you for making my content more accessible. Gratitude.

I couldn't agree more and ironically, it was the Kavanaugh mess that threw me into a deselecting mode too! Glad there are others like you thinking/feeling the same as me :)

Thanks for the affirmation! Yup - the Kavanaugh mess threw me for a big curly spin too - not so much the actual him vs her but all the CRAP it unleashed in the people round me. Impotent, going in circles, destructive stuff. It just became venting after a while.... The Power of Deselecting. Glad you found that place too. :)

Thank you also for the resteem. :)
