Greetings good citizen, inaction on the front that is driving us to self extinction is our biological imperative, our inborn desire to breed and the 'meaning' that imperative gives our lives.
If not to breed, what? Do we exist to eat, poop and call the stork? [Practice making babies...]
The birth/death cycle drives our existence [as well as our religious beliefs!]
Worse, like hatred, much of what we believe is 'learned' because nobody knows/has a good answer to the 'why are we here?' question.
Serious irony in the fact that most of us are here against our will [but again this is just one more 'choice' your ancestors were deprived of.]
'Ideally' we are born of love but that ingredient isn't vital to the process. More often than not it's the 'unintended consequence' of scratching that itch we'd all be better off ignoring.
It's not the 'calling the stork' part that causes the problems, it's mankind's 'opportunist' nature and the hopes of putting the squeeze on [if not the couple themselves then their parents, rewarding themselves with a few bucks while making everyone else involved suffer.
Yeah good citizen, 'FU pay me!' has even crawled into this unfortunate niche.
Some of you may have noticed how 'the root of all evil' is a recurring theme in these essays and that is not my intent at all! [If possible I would abolish 'money' altogether BUT don't forget that irrational 'opportunistic nature' that is humanity's curse.
Without a 'regulator' people would 'help themselves' and we'd find ourselves in a horrible predicament of implacable shortages because people will take anything that isn't bolted SECURELY to the ground if it even LOOKS 'valuable'.
Take your garden variety rock, paint it gold, drop it on the ground and watch how long it sits there. EVEN if you live in the Woods the rock will be gone in hours.
If it isn't gone you can bet some of the paint has been removed on part of the rock, exposing the ruse and explaining it's continued presence.
We're not all COMPLETELY STUPID [how unfortunate for most of us that 'presence of mind' is just as rare as 'common sense'?]
You SHOULD question EVERYTHING but for reasons unexplained, we don't teach the young to look beyond 'face value' [or they forget, which amounts to the same difference.]
Much of the 'nastiness' in this life is driven by our species 'opportunistic' nature. That said our next evolutionary imperative will be overcoming this critical failure. [If we don't, we're doomed.]
How do we overcome this treacherous streak?
Responsibility.
If you are responsible for making something happen then you have to take that responsibility seriously [or face the consequences.] The only people who get to enjoy an 'I don't care' attitude are those with zero responsibility.
How unfortunate for the bulk of us we have one 'responsibility' that refuses to go away. We MUST feed and if we don't satisfy that responsibility we'll die.
How can you live in a society that expressly tells you feeding yourself is YOUR problem?
Joblessness [and those who cause it] are committing crimes against humanity. (I'm looking at you Elephant Boy!)
We are so busy fighting poverty that we don't have time to address the principle cause!
Yet another 'crime against humanity' (but we sit still for it!)
The feckless need to be cast into the cesspit they have dug for us!
[If not them it is us who will end up there...]
If we are to break the cycle of poverty we must take away the opportunist's primary tool.
There is a lot to be 'harvested' from breaking people and the feckless do it every day, all day!
The first thing 'a society of equals' would do is put a stop to this. [Then the feckless would ask why they were being punished they will be 'overlooking' how they rejected their membership in society when they chose to rule over us instead of putting a stop to the predation!
There's a reason why nothing gets fixed and 99% of that reason is because YOU continue to pretend everything is 'normal' when it's the furthest thing from it!
[STOP]
Again I have placed myself in the position of having to apologize and restate how it isn't my purpose to tell you WHAT TO THINK [The morons who do it for a paycheck give you enough of that] it is my purpose to give you SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT!
I smell ozone. Let's drop this before you burn out what few brain cells you have left.
Thanks,

This bubbled up on today's radar and it is worth a 2nd look.

ReplyDeleteAnother blast from the past worth a 2nd look...
