Greetings good citizen, sometimes you deserve to be addressed as a human being with a (semi) functioning mind and an earnest desire to live...but only sometimes.
Today's post is addressed to that 'rational' part of you, regardless of where it is hiding.
At the root of humanity's 'troubles' lies the disagreement over the purpose of life as it collides with the sharing of the planet's resources.
We have the 'I was here first' crowd who honestly believes they own what belongs to all of us. These people won't hesitate to produce a (bogus) bill of sale to prove it!
Then there are all the tribes and nations, each of whom will solemnly swear that their God promised them dominion over some barely recognizable portion of what might not even be on this planet.
If this were true then these so-called Gods would make war upon each other to make good on their promises. Alas, these silly people worship a God that refuses to fight for them, so these people take it upon themselves to make God's Promises a reality because nobody can lose if God is on their side, right?
So, we have five major Gods, each thoroughly committed to 'peace' so long as 'justice' prevails.
How do we mere mortals sort out the liars?
The answer is obvious, they are ALL liars.
The same concept extends to those claiming to own what belongs to every living thing on this planet.
They too are self-serving liars just as those who claim to 'speak for' an imaginary God are.
That was easy, wasn't it?
IF we were to walk this backward just a couple of steps we would realize we don't have a stupid problem on our hands, we have a liar problem driving civilization off the proverbial cliff.
The liars make you 'stupid' by forcing you to believe 'dumb' things...like the claims of their make-believe God and how that make-believe God gave them their bogus bill of sale...because they were there first...so fuck the rest of ya.
The liars would prefer that the last part remain obscured instead of being bolded because it makes the appear dishonest.
I could go off on a tear about how psychopaths are predisposed not to care about honesty but the intellectual within you already knows the significance, in fact, the lair relied on it!
So, we not 'neck-deep in stupid', we are eyeballs deep in liars!
Now that we have exposed the problem, how do we go about 'fixing' it?
It's not as simple as erasing 'In God we Trust' from the liar's currency.
Reality tells us society relies on trust, therefore society can not TOLERATE the untrustworthy to live in a civil society. The purpose of society is to protect and promote the welfare of (all of) its members. Left unchecked, the weasels/untrustworthy will stymie every effort at equity as they nick the system at every opportunity, helping themselves ahead of everyone else.
Do you know the difference between 'smart' and clever? Genius is the ability to see and understand relationships that already exist but are not obvious. Clever is twisting that information to your own ends once it is discovered...usually before it is fully understood!
It is also why Clever is dumb's kissing cousin. It seems slick but it's still your cousin.
The 'pious' have marked themselves, just as the 'owners' have done.
Any questions? Ready to play 'cast out the incompetent liars'?
I knew you were!
