RE: What I Learned in the Zeitgeist Movement | Part 2: "Waste = Profit"
Yes ... That hypocrisy I would estimate, comes from a lack of personal agency ... So many moral philosophies start with a rather good paradigm, 'Right Livelihood' or 'Do unto others' ... but so few engage themselves deeply enough to go beyond obedience, and too often to obey an unqualified authoritarian, whose qualifications would immediately appear bankrupt through just a modicum of critical thought that seems to be lacking as your example illustrates ...
Sadly people are trained by 'factory schooling' to not engage in critical thinking by themselves. So how do we reverse this trend? ... Perhaps only incrementally in our lifetimes, and the species will eventually evolve, without annihilating itself (and all others!) in the meantime ...
For me everything changed when I stumbled upon good evidence to suggest that our whole mode of existence may the be the issue as such, meaning the way in which we interpret the world around us and our place in it. Ever since my first looks behind the curtain with certain shamnic tools what has been absolutely certain before is not so anymore.
I get sad and frustrated from time to time with the sleepers and the human drones running around. then I realize it simply has to be that way. Why? Because it is ;)
Took forever to get that, but ever since I had a really hard time connecting with movement people fundamentally. Because our assumptions had drifted apart so much.
Really happy to have aware people in my digital tribe here. thanks for dropping your thoughts <3
On that thought, one must consider two things, first humans are essentially 'entropy generators' especially as long as we're still hooked on fossil fuel, we're forever taking matter/energy from a highly ordered state (a well or a coal seam) and converting it to work where it then heats and dissipates into the atmosphere... Since this ultimately degrades the environment, we really must reconsider the entire 'Work Ethic' ...
Indeed great meeting so many intelligent, observant folks all in one place here on steemit! Thank you, my friend!
