If you want to get all melodrama.
Okay, that is the general impression one could get from watching what we are doing to ourselves. If you disagree please share some metrics that reflect a thoughtful rational people working towards a healthy future. I’d love a little good news.
Could start with the state of mental health,
The State of Mental Health in America | Mental Health America.
… Eleven of the 15 indicators used to rank the states in the 2024 State of Mental Health in America report were calculated using the 2021-2022 NSDUH data. This is a reminder that the 2024 State of Mental Health in America report cannot be compared to previous reports. For more information, see SAMHSA’s statement here.
Oh well. I figure if someone can’t even get themselves to recognize and acknowledge our human self-absorbed nature and our blindsided self-serving, yet self destructive behavior - they aren’t in much of a position to get all high and mighty with their finger pointing.
Not to mention the grand hypocrisy - warm invitations: bring your ideas, let’s discuss -
OH NO! not those ideas, we can’t discuss that,
every thing else around it, compartmentalized like in a sterile operating room,
but no, not the actual ideas I’m presenting, those are too worthless to even repeat, let alone think about and discuss.
Lausten, what I’m seeing is that you misrepresent what I’ve written in plain English and it doesn’t seem to bother you.
You feel in a position to broadcast disregard, if not contempt, for my constellation of ideas yet you still haven’t discussing my actual words and concepts they spell out in any serious manner - so excuse me for not buying your dismissal, nor the professor’s - who’s own theory is that religion is bad and people should get rid of them. Like that’s a realistic suggestion.
But I know I should not be surprised, double standards seem to be a way of life for us humans.
And our hero’s have always had clay feet.
