SUPERFLUOUS STANDARD OF VIOLENCE
We might consider, while contemplating increasing poor mental health in the USA of individuals, the inane state of capitalistic hierarchical Establishment aggression and violence in its varied forms.
MENTAL HEALTH ON THE MORTAL PLANE
The value of not knowing can be found in Buddhism. This mindset generated ideas millennia ago that suggests quantum physics. That this may be the closing of the circle isn’t an unknown concept in some spiritual and scientific areas. Some people believe that science and religion must be connected. (“Must” as in logically are, not as in hierarchically prescribed)
IDEALS
C-Span airs at about 6:50AM a different entry into Student Cam 2023 (www.studentcam.org). The ideas are relevant and the idealism is admirable. Is it too cynical to mention that when students take on predatory educational-loan pay back, idealism may be replaced with cold reality. One hopes not.
DEFINE WAR CRIME
Is it only a war if the destruction is against foreign governments, or does it include humanity and nature as the targets?
DICTATORSHIP OR ORGANIZED CRIME?
A time existed when posing this question would have felt uncomfortable. That ship has sailed.
COOPERATION OR COMPETITION?
The concept that “we’re only human” can be used as an excuse or an inspiration. The system of capitalism has been described as offering the greatest good to the most people. This may be true until it isn’t.
MERGER BETWEEN STATE AND CORPORATE POWER
Definitely indicative of dictatorship. This is what “running government like a business” looks like.
VITAL HUMANITY
Humanity is a much more interesting topic than capitalistic hierarchical Establishment wishes to acknowledge. “Western values” wrings out to cash, and that which must be removed is the heart and soul of people and nature, for profits. The system is effective because who doesn’t want cash, until you realize the cost is your soul and heart. Capitalistic hierarchical Establishment characters have recently alluded to the concern that AI would be dangerous to humanity, and one suggests also to nature. Better late than never to acknowledge.
EMOTIONAL MATURITY
The point is made that the US leadership might have served the US better by understanding Afghanistan, now that the Taliban is back in control……as though they ever weren’t. The Frontline guest Martin Smith was a guest on C-Span, and also intimated that Afghanistan may not be the only misunderstood nation into which deluded US leaders are forcing “Western values”. And so goes American chauvinism.
ENFORCERS OR AI?
Hierarchical capitalistic Establishment has espoused the concept that capitalism is democracy and that the foundation of this system is fair-market principle. And so Establishment has implemented a system of surveillance of “consumers” to ensure control of actions of citizens to the whims of marketing. Corporations and big-money interests seem to have a questionable access to the privacy of We The People. Therefore it feels only fair that the public, in self defense, be aware of and consider the motivation and profiteering by such entities.
COLONIZED MIND THOUGHT
Denial must be the official mindset to forget North America is colonized. The result seems to have been destruction of nature and and acceptance of Climate Change. The latest “breaking news”? Little Rock, Arkansas.
