It’s my contention that my course and 3 papers is the anecdote to that (which you describe) which afflicts us. What I’ve come up with lays out the roadmap as to how to get to where we need to go. It identifies our best collective destination. And it is it the best vehicle with which to try to get there. It does all of this by way of using rationality as its frame of reference rather than superstition. I think it’s fair to say that all of the people that are on our side of the phylosophical fence would all agree with everything you have to say. The trouble as I see it is that we keep describing the symptoms of the affliction without looking at its root cause. Using a medical analogy it’s my opinion that we have to look at the symptoms of the problem, identify the root of the problem and come up with a viable treatment to remedy the problem. And at the heart of it is the fact that we need very good leadership and the leadership that we’ve had is not good. (And believe it or not, it’s my opinion that the answer to all of this is wrapped up in my theory and prescription - which is comprised of my 3 papers and course)…
I’m a big fan of John Mearsheimer. I’ve agreed with almost everything he’s had to say over the last several decades. The same is true of my parents. And I’ve kind of extrapolated what they and others have come up with and I’ve taken it to the next philosophical level. Or maybe I’ve drilled down a little deeper on the one side and zoomed out a little further on the other. - - Two things that John Mearsheimer recently said during a lecture was that “politicians contact sport” and war or the threat of war won’t be taken off the table anytime soon. Unfortunately I think has correct. But I think that in order to make politics LESS of a contact sport one would concentrate on being rational and logical. Additionally, there’s nothing particularly horribly wrong with the threat of war as long as one doesn’t actually engage in war. In order to try to achieve this state of being it’s good to have a healthy amount of humility, respect, compassion and wisdom. (This is all wrapped up and part of my theory and prescription). Thank you for your comment!

The so-called adults in the Collective Waste cannot grow up or evolve, even to the point of Genghis Khan and his merry men of pillage discovering that being victorious does not mean vanquishing the opponent. I believe that was when he (they) had shown the Persians that they were defeated but the Persians rather than engaging in a lost cause opened up their gates to the Mongols and welcomed them, rather than bloodshed.
And, like a fairy tale, the Mongols stopped hoarding!
I believe this account is far beyond the understanding of the present attitudes of our overlords at this moment in time.
I’m not a historian, so I will defer on you for that type of analysis, but I think what we can agree on is the fact that our leadership is very bad. (I address the issue of what it takes to be a good leader in my theory and prescription). - - For starters the president needs to be honest, logical and they have do the right thing.
Totally on point article. This Government and the systems need a complete overhaul.
Your observations are all correct.

I am an anarchist.
I have a well adapted bullshit detector.
I do not entertain any forms of extortion, bribery or avail myself for prostitution. In other words, no Mammon Worship
I do not follow others; I will rather choose to agree and choose to contribute.
The coercion of ideologies into allowed behaviour is the banal average.

We, the sheeples, are to believe whatever they dish out. But they freak out when truth comes to light involving them. Dishonesty reaching new heights.
