Children’s Learning Party Games are back! And maybe it’s time that adults took a refresher course in how these games are played. It’s all about money – “and what’s paid in the darkness, will be spent in the light.”
The Myth of Responsible Science: If scientists had taken the responsibility to speak out to the public about the dangers of climate change – something would have been done to prevent the hopeless situation that we’re in now. Science could have warned us; but scientists didn’t. The same is true of so many of the world-wide problems: from pandemics to the loss of clean water and arable land, to famine and overpopulation. Solving these problems would require regulations and oversight that would restrict the actions of politicians, corporations, and institutions: so scientists take the money, deplore the end uses, and claim a dedication to “pure science.”
There is nothing pure about science — because there’s nothing pure about its funding and uses. Emerging technologies represent an unprecedented opportunity to oppress, remold, and destroy humanity . . . look for it to happen.
Never have so many been unable to do so much. The bigger government gets – the less willing they are to tackle their biggest problem: Government. It won’t surprise many readers to know that this quote was only the beginning of one-page shrug-off – shedding responsibility like a dog shaking water. If adjudicating government Conflicts of Interest is a “conflict of interest” – where does that leave us? Waiting for the next bus . . . “Sorry, were full up and we can’t offer assistance.”
“On this site will be constructed . . .” No matter how big the sign – it can’t hide the decades of unrealized progress. The only things our government has ever built are the mechanisms to increase their own power and prosperity. All their loud talk over the grumbling has achieved nothing but being heard. And all the convictions of their followers are based on a place in the lifeboat. “This Is The Future!” – the audience knows there are only two doors out of the lecture hall. Be Convinced or Be Gone.
The USDA may talk about three healthy meals a day; but that’s nothing compared the bite they’re putting on the public. First, we pay for the food. And then – since Agribusinesses are some of the biggest contributors to climate change [and the only ones that are still increasing their emissions] – we pay for the cost of that climate change in our lives. And on top of that: When that same climate change impacts their profits – we pay taxes to insure they are still profiting and expanding. We “Feed the Corporations.”
They say: “Don’t look back!” when the evil is overtaking you – but what happens when it’s riding with you? If you jump; what are you jumping into? Our world is spinning like a top towards the edge of the table — and it’s a long way down to the floor.
Of all the modern shibboleths; the belief in Science is perhaps the greatest. It can do anything – except make us happy, compassionate, giving, forgiving, and wise . . . all of those human things that make life worth living.
One of the most annoying trends in government handouts is the way they minimize the situation; instead of acknowledging the extent of the problem. In previous books I have written about the four layers of bureaucratic defense: 1) Discredit the source, 2) Discredit the facts, 3) Discredit the situation, and 4) It’s legal anyway. Decades of evidence and natural disasters have broken through to the third layer of “Climate Change” defense: but they’re still fighting it. And if our government won’t acknowledge the seriousness of the problem — how far away are they from implementing an effective solution.
Death is not the final word
Life alone is too absurd.
You can never stop being addicted to drugs – you can only stop using them: and not using drugs any longer is still all about drugs. Whether you get out and stay out; or get sucked back in – drugs create a new center for your life — replacing all others.
