Everybody Wants To Rule The World

These are days when I can go nowhere and avoid everyone.  Most around here know exactly what I do.  Some hate me and look at me as harmful, and others look to me for the information I horde.

I'm down to trying to save just me.  If I have to work for them to accomplish that, I will.

Pascal--there's a UK document you might be interested in looking at in this article:

The Human Body, Nanotechnology, and We—Augmented [first posted 2/1/2021]

Your UK dept of defense seems to think we all have to line up for genetic ‘augmentation’--thus the title.

I know over this side of the pond, MIT and the DOD have the ISN program.  I had come to a vague conclusion our DOD was the enforcer here.  Now I'm sure of it. 

Pascal, beBee is also not immune to those “illuminated individuals who genuinely think they hold the monopoly of truth" whatever the topic. But no other topic causes such polarization of beliefs and opinions on social media as the coronavirus issue. I stopped commenting on that topic when I realised that “the days of we agree to disagree” are long gone. 

Great thoughts, as always. :)

Thank you, Pascal. This part below is probably the most profound thing I've read on this platform so far (no exaggeration). I plan to publish something along these lines soon. My angle is on a potential solution to all this. Cheers!

“While binary behaviour is simple to detect life has become more complicated and complex because of it.”

Nicely written, Pascal (in other words, I agree).

Yep. 

Nice piece. Felt very much from the heart.

You have hit the nail right on the head @Pascal Derrien …The saddest bit is witnessing the fall outs within families, friends or colleagues. 

I tend to follow this line of thinking…Before you even engage with someone, ask yourself…Is that person mentally equipped to even the grasp the concept of a different perspective? If the answer is no, don't bother.

I have had many conversations with those of whom I wholeheartedly disagree, but we are able to do so respectfully…That is the challenge…

I really liked your reference to keyboard warriors etc.  Perhaps we should reflect on which we maybe in the eyes of others. Those of us who comment are far out numbered by those who read and move on keeping their thoughts to themselves.

Which means we are unaware what influence we have on others.

Personally I work on the basis of better out than in, and make my comment and in the main remain happy. 

I look at those who arguably rule the world and ask myself do I want to be like them in the main my answer is NO WAY

I feel the Newley and Bricous musical Stop the world I want to get off sums up my feelings.

There was a time, way back, Pascal, when they said we couldn’t handle the truth. Now it’s a major exercise in research trying to find which truth we can’t handle. As for being a ruler, I’d never measure up. 📐😂

After all, rulers have to draw the line somewhere.  📏😂🤣😂
