Surface issues & superficial solutions

Surface issues & superficial solutions

Maybe this will explain it.  I have had such trouble pinning down surface issues in a coherent manner because there are no feedback loops.  So, let me try, again.

I have to start with an Eleanor Roosevelt quote, " “Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.”  I doubt you will see the point I am trying to make.

I was just thinking about a really, really bad surface issue.  Wars being waged by nuclear powers on countries that don't have nuclear weapons ... 

Scratch that.  I decided to look through my earlier books.  I was right.  It is another aspect that I explained very well long, long, long ago.

I can't decide which book's insights chime through the best.  You choose.

This one is from Millennium.

Tell me how economics, politics, governments, religions, economic models, or any other preposterous proposed basis for improving our predicament can possibly compare in any way to something so fundamental to our existence, something so crucial to the basis on which we live as correcting the state of coitus for a sentient race?  (these are the surface issues that we spend all of our time obsessing about)

Coitus is not about some superfluous issue.  This goes to who we are and the detritus of the animal that we still maintain after thousands of years.  

The brute force effect of laws, religious dictates, regulations, mores, and ethics have no real effect other than to contain the madness to the slightest degree.  (these are the superficial solutions enacted by the witless animal; making it all the more amusing, economics, politics, etc are both superficial solutions and surface issues)  They are forced on the individual from the outside.  It doesn't really work.  Nothing changes.  The pressure builds and the pressure cooker bursts apart regularly.

All of those feeble efforts have never improved the situation one iota and never will.  It does not get us closer to being Human.  It only gets us closer to completing the absurd mimicry of our Humanity.  The caricature that I see continuing to develop appalls me in every way.

We cannot become Human by relying on outside influence to force change within the individual through laws and other strictures.  It cannot happen.  The attempt to do so is an animal mimicking what it thinks it means to be Human.  

We are no closer to our Humanity than we were three thousand years ago.  It has all been mind games of imbeciles.  Maybe that is another trait that has been in my favor.  I have never had much use for games in any form.

Do you really think that a law should be required for a man not to rape a woman?  Do you really think that little of men and humanity in general? 

I know. That's just the way it's always been.  Right?  Sigh.

How about a man's own self-respect impeding him from such a heinous act?  You can hardly even comprehend the concept, right?  All of the other acts of abuse against women and a great lot of our troubles come from the same pool of men's lack of self-respect.  

Sigh.  I feel I have no need to detail the reason for men's lack of self-respect.  Have I not gone through it enough?

The example that has been bothering me today is The Red Pill, a particularly awful derivative of InCel (look it up) because of the premise of the red pill.  If it wasn't so horrific, stupoured, and bestial, it would be hilarious.  The red pill refers to the movie The Matrix and the idea that you rid your mind of all delusions by taking it.  As far as I can tell the whole damned (pre)human race, in its stupour, thinks it has taken the red pill.  The Red Pill movement is just one particularly awful version of it.

This one is from Book 6.

The Trouble With Troubles

There is something disturbing humanity at a fundamental level.  That disturbance keeps all of the nonsense in motion.

If you inspect closely, what we have tried to do regarding our predicament is focus on each little individual trouble that humanity causes and stamp it out.  We have tried to contain the chaos in only two ways: laws and religion.  They only attempt to contain the havoc, never remove it.

That is like playing the game Whack-A-Mole.  More idiocy will always pop up.  Worse yet, it is usually in a more virulent form the the previous.

Our whole approach starts with the assumption that we are irretrievably screwed up.  Then, we attempt to put a lid on the pressure cooker of the prehuman and never consider becoming human.  

The pressure cooker still explodes regularly.

There are more but I think, maybe, these make the point.  Yeah, I edited them a little.

The real point is that we spend our time on surface issues & superficial solutions because we have not been willing to look at humanity itself and ponder what is wrong with the human race.  All of it.  Not a piecemeal approach.  I have been explaining for fifteen years what the real problem is.  The real question is can you face it?
