Where I live
as per usual i distract myself strongly from my intended goal…finishing the book pomes for the shaw…i tell myself there will be more stories…if i follow the instinctive impulse…and that is true…but one narrative will continue…the book will still be incomplete and I will not have given best effort towards my goal…
and i do not use “goal” in an irreverent sense…Anthony Robbins says we must be focused…but too much of that is a bad thing…the forest for the trees…and a cynic would argue…and i can agree…and we see what’s going on but there’s nothing we can do about it…like children we can only look after our own lives…
“most of us have withdrawn to, or never emerged from a strictly private life…”
capitalism and its concurring religion
self help,
self progress,
self care,
depressed, neurotic, paranoid, empty,
righteous,
emotive…
and the system creates the psychology
…how do we know…
children are not born capitalists…
now even jewish ones…
it is an ideology…
not an evolutionary step…
unless extinction is the goal…
now we have platforms upon which to announce ourselves to the world…and some argue it reinforces the masks we wear,
for any person knows no one is that much more special than anyone else…
we can all have conversations…
- A Israeli soldier in Palestine burst into a home and the mother calls panicedly to her daughter to get down…
- and the name called is the same name as his daughter…
- he pulls out his wallet and shows the Mother a picture
a complete absorption into a personal bias;
motive: feeling better…
lack
drives the self movement…
and that lack is not an inherent trait…
it is an impression of a system
that only requires improvement…
which is more efficiency…not better but faster…
you will not get drunk if you drink water…
no matter how fast or how much…
poor people
are more friendly
less emphasis
or put more precisely
no one is exploiting…
unless they’re talking to the
rich
even gated communities are cold isolated places…
people are suspicious…
everyone is wary of a thief…
here the pot calls the kettle black
before
wealth was known by land
…then gold..now
a fiat currency
which is only paper
with a promise…
Land
a South Korean corporation
has leased half the arable land
in Madagascar
for 99 years…
corporations in Korea control the country…
a good idea
to feed the workers…
the first world is self sufficient…
the poor countries cannot feed their people
this is not an absolute
we can point to many examples of farmers
who were coerced to grow cash crops
and then had to borrow money
to invest in infrastructure
and then shot themselves
because they were going to lose their land
the game intentionally meant to make them fail…
the bankers get rich
check India
where the suicide of farmers
has been reported between
10’s of thousands to hundreds of thousands…
and in the west those that know
shake their heads
What can i do?
it so far away and it’s so complicated…
but i must think local…that will help…
I will be a good person and
practice everyday kindness
and not imagine those
poor rag heads…
blowing their brains out
or how ever they do it…
Again
Corporate interest is an ideology
that is so prevalent it is not even recognized…
how can a fish understand water…
Back to India
when farmers grew food for themselves
and their neighbors
they didn’t kill themselves so often…
The Beauty of Capitalism
the Israeli’s hire Palestinians
to build walls that will
restrict their freedom
of movement
(which is a worldwide trend
see: airport pat downs and bar codes on passports)
it’s getting better
but not for everyone
“creative destruction”
describe the system
an evolutionary process which like nature can be cruel…
so the proponents of capitalism argue
The dream is Over
social mobility is a thing of the past
with only a few newsworthy stories
to pad the narrative millions of self reporters…
exploitation taken to new heights…
sociologists call this normalization…
On a personal note
i distract myself from the task at hand.
