are paying out of pocket to help save lives in North Carolina.
Nearby Fort Bragg (Liberty) has DOZENS of helicopters, field hospitals, water trucks, etc ready for humanitarian relief but the Pentagon hasn’t told them to go help.
A friend recently 'accused' me of being a 'no' person....of defining myself by what I am rejecting. I find it difficult to be any other way, these days. Seems easy 'yesses' can get you killed in short order. Though I was presented a life of baubles, I choose the clean swept floor and the bare walls, save for cherished things, the most essential of which would fit on my back. An inconvenient life, to the extent that is possible.
A superbly written piece based on a life of wisdom and a harvest of knowledge. I taught my psychology class the term menticide and warned them of it. And I lost my professorship and entered the world of poverty because of it. Living week to week. Cabinets and refrigerator empty. But I have my integrity. My identity and no one can take that away. Too many won’t understand that statement because too many have no integrity nor character.
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
I opted out of that road seeing my friends become commute professors in Los Rios Community College District. Commute top 3 JC's for 3/4 time load. One friend managed to get her MA and not Doctorate at UCSB in Philosophy and secured FT work at CalPoly.
Many go uptown in their crawling under the house clothes. Special clothes don't seem to be donned except for clubbing and weddings.
A few instagrammers spend on their daily appearance. Tattoos seem big business and interestingly are small businesses.
The fear of being scapegoated is real and experienced during the COVID. Now it is part of the climate scam. Handy that the climate scam was inculcated prior to all the *natural* disasters.
A vulnerable populace indeed. If anyone tells me about what's on TV then I don't bother talking about anything important with them. It's too exhausting trying to undo any of their brainwashing. Nice enough people some of them, just not helpful for me to discuss anything with, unless it's the price of fish.
Someone in a post of yours commented that the UK is threatened with limited clothing purchases. That encourages hoarding and stocking up. The whole predicted and experienced shortages also lead to more consumerism.
Good on you for avoiding consumerism. So many human weaknesses.
Exactitude of terminology can be used in general as in mass man. The term arises to describe formerly known man who no longer has any sense or knowledge about being Imago Dei. Denoting a person who lives and suffers from being merely the integer in a multitude of numbers not seen as man. Like an old hobo out in the rain…
I object to the use of the term 'masses'. I do not know masses. I have no experience of them. Masses do not have thoughts, conscience, fear. Individuals do. Individuals may experience a common contagion, an infection, but for each it is an individual experience. I think we are too much under the sway of these concepts. The real tragedy of our age, it seems to me, is social atomization as Hannah Arendt called it, in which we are susceptible to infections by reason of our loss of friendship and kinship..

Good to read your thoughts.

Speaking of in-your face insanity-all-the-way-down and non-persons too why not check these two references.
