problems our society faces than I do about solutions. I do this because we are so far from being able to implement real solutions that most people don\u2019t even really know the problems exist yet.<\/p>\n<p>I could spend my time talking about the need for a giant people\u2019s revolution to dismantle the US-centralized empire, end capitalism and replace the competition-based systems which are driving us to our doom with collaboration-based systems where all of humanity cooperates with each other and with our ecosystem, but those solutions aren\u2019t going to emerge anytime soon because public consent for the status quo order is still being manufactured with a very high degree of success. At this point in history\u2019s unfolding I may as well say we should solve all our problems by inventing free energy and living in the sky like the Jetsons.<\/p>\n<p>Right now our society is like a sick man who (A) doesn\u2019t know he\u2019s sick, (B) refuses to believe he is sick, (C) believes the medicine is poison, (D) has no health insurance and can\u2019t afford the medicine anyway, and (E) also has no means of transportation to get to the doctor. The very first step in that long list of obstacles to his health is to get him to understand that he is sick. That\u2019s why I spend so much energy showing evidence that the media are lying to us, that we are ruled by psychopaths, and that our status quo systems are driving us toward annihilation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Propagandized Society Is Like A Sick Man Who Doesn&#8217;t Know He&#8217;s Sick Subscribe I write a lot more about the problems our society faces than I do about solutions.
