RE: At Times, I Ponder the Insanity of the World
Your sentiments are shared! The feeling the sheeple turn away from the difficult and hard truths has led me to live a more independent lifestyle.
""How, exactly, is your reality of paradigm threatened by someone creating an actual CURE for cancer, as opposed to our current system of just endlessly TREATING cancer?" - because it's never about solving problems, but making them less horrible over and over again. It's about profit and growth over ppl .
That said I don't buy into the notion that all the ills of the world are due to corrupt reptilian religious leader plotting world domination... Rather the culture has grown too fast and with feedback to a point where many well intending ppl end up taking part in destructive systems because well, they might not know any better.
Good post.
I read an interesting editorial a few back, in which the writer suggested that we lose our ability to feel compassion — and thus our humanity — when we put profit and growth at the TOP of the list of "what is important." Here in the US, the profit motive has been top of the list for... several generations. As a result, we no longer have the old form of free market capitalism that offered opportunities to mom and pop businesses... now we have predatory capitalism that actually suppresses opportunity while a handful of oligarchs run the show and control everything.
