Let's make sure the productivity that led to the enrichment of life on Earth continues well into the future - and do away with this petty terrestrial childishness - while we still have time. 😎

Some awesome food for thought! 😉👍

Good job, New Hampshire! We're almost halfway towards catching up with the civilized world and ending state-sanctioned murder. Maybe now the Republicans will think a bit deeper about mass incarceration and their 'death cult' habits of executing Americans so they can save money in order to spend more on the military and executing foreign civilians abroad. It sure seems to be suspicious, hypocritical behavior for a party that claims to be 'pro life'!

A good read! 😎

A good read! 😎 - A lot of news is part-real and part-fake – and J S Mill suggests we should take both parts seriously, not literally

I suppose many people, at first glance, might think central bank independence is a good thing (absolutely not - foxes guarding the hen house) and that it's a good thing that political policies threaten their independence (which might normally be a good thing - if politics worked). However, in a world where there is little or nothing in the way of either fiscal (financial), political or ethical responsibility, this is a nightmare waiting to happen...all the way around - no matter who's pulling the purse strings. The real question is... "Which broken system do YOU think is actually going to be able to correct this perpetual train wreck?" I am not seeing any good answers while traditional systems further continue to degrade into chaos and dysfunction. Something's gotta' give... ;)

- Here's a challenge... See if you can figure out how far back the Govt/Public School System seemed to have stopped even trying to educate the people about their rights. I don't think that would be a very easy task, but I can say that I was taught what was necessary and I believe the people who protested in the 60-70s did too. Maybe it started with Reagan. I think this video hits the nail squarely on the head. What do you think? ;)

This is a very realistic, disturbing, look at the way many humans...even those in the ‘mainstream’...see the world. It is frightening to look at how far people have veered from the course of humanity as a result of being drawn in by myths and commonly held cultural, technological, financial or other ideas which have replaced moral, ethical, logical human behavior with self-destructive, empty and globally catastrophic insanity. Even more insane is that they actually believe this path is sustainable. “They know not what they do...”

An important and timely read! 😊 https://ift.tt/2Fk6TXG - There’s been a lot of talk about the Dunning-Kruger effect, the cognitive bias that makes people wildly overconfident, unable to know how ignorant they are because they don’t have the basic skills to grasp what competence means. Once popularized, the effect became weaponized.
