So it seems my brain is on overdrive right now... I guess I should have seen this coming but hey I'm still figuring this out.
It only took this fucking long.
I say I guess I called it for a reason... the other day I recall actually saying how I'm having a hard time staying focused on a conversation, that is, the point of the conversation without going off on a rabbit trail of non-importance.
and yesterday was the "straw" I guess... (google - straw that broke the camel's back).
So today I've been nothing but a mess... I smoke 3.. 4 bowls in a row and I'm still going mostly full speed... like running through oatmeal.
I continue to be overwhelmed with emotions about anything these days. Things that I wouldn't have in a million years thought - now that's a serious emotional attachment to that i have. I've been brought to tears over the current events.
Black Lives Matter.
I have to remember Socrates words constantly.... I know nothing.
Though a lot of shit has been said since then and a lot of things have become known.
8 minutes 46 seconds... 8 minutes..... 46 seconds...
Eight... minutes... Forty... Six... seconds...
That is how long you will take to die.
It may be less.
It may be more.
That is how long it took cops to kill George Floyd.
We need a revolution people. We need a revolution of the mind.
The longer we ignore that ignorance has no bounds and afflicts all.
The longer this will take... until everyone has something of a similar shared experience (social experiences/education/self awareness), the longer this going to take.
If you live in a bubble, everything outside is weird. Do you reject the weirdness or become curious enough to explore? How do you know if you live in a bubble? You must be willing to question everything you believe, examine it thoroughly via evidence. Understand there are proper ways to gather and process evidence via logical methods. The laws of logic lay this out for us. Understanding the basics or even doing a refresher what you think you know helps as well. Re-learning what you should have already been taught, but actually reading a more comprehensive version vs. a severely condensed and homogenized version devoid of context of the moment. That is, if you are currently alive and experiencing the events of 2020 you will have what's called a first hand account. You where there, you experienced the vents of 2020. So There are currently riots and a pandemic going on and unrest all over the world - especially in China - #FreeHK.
It's not just China, it's not just the systemic racism in the US, it's the whole fucking system. This whole capitalistic bullshit, it's what is at the heart of it all. with less than 1% of the world owning most of it. The fucking bullshit job you have to work at and for what, a paycheck that barely covers nothing. Benefits... ha ha ha, what do you think this the 70's? Medical coverage is a joke, need 2 more jobs to cover those bills. Oh what, you got laid off well there goes your insurance. Now time to find another job, along with hundreds/thousands/millions of others looking for work as well. What you want to spend more time with your family, what are you some pansy ass faggot lover hoping for a Marxist revolution to indoctrinate us with your "equality for all" propaganda?
We need a new way of doing things, we need to wake the fuck up people we are not little children anymore. We need a system that involves us all. If we are to believe that humanity can achieve whatever it sets it's mind to then why not go for broke.
A system that requires all people to participate in their government.
From cleaning to building, from growing to raising. All people will need to participate at some level throughout their life. This would encompass all aspects of local government and it's operations. Those who wish to pursue a more active political environment may do, however there are no elected appointments more than 6 years in public office. Private is unrestrained.
A system that provides an total education
From birth to death. Education is a life long goal and as such should be readily available for all. Education needs to more than it is and stop being a one size fits all approach. Time and again there needs to be a multi step approach in determining the needs of the individual throughout their life. More so during the first 20 years and adjust the education methods to their needs. Some children are better at hands on versus lecture. Though all children will have the same curriculum taught through out their primary & secondary years (Pre K - HS).
During this time students will all have the same options and access to help/tutors.
Emphasis on humanities. Arts, music, STEM, trades & technical shop classes will be required. Everyone will have the same education regardless of economic status, geographical location, etc. Secondary education is to focus on college/trade school aptitudes. As you progress through the education system you are constantly evaluated for your aptitude in a number of fields.
Don't even get me started on genetics, sociology, cultures, etc... there are so many factors that come into play. It's always one generation against another... even the Sumerians complained about things.
The longer it'll...
sigh.
I'm not one for diatribes anymore.. I give up to easily. I know my surface knowledge is lacking... I don't have the words at the moment.. well maybe they are their somewhere.. but it's feeling forced I guess.
