And it seems the truth is, unfettered, we just like doing it. We like living in this scared and divisive world, and thus we propagate it. I don’t blame it on one side, but we live in a world where each side would be doing what the other is now, were the facts reversed.
That part.
Builders work in the environment they're thrust and figure it out. Takers are the ones that complicate the environment and other than good healthy competition are always the source of angst.
There is a clear way out of the woods, but there is somebody set to ambush that mechanism and extort it every single time. From a micro to a macro vantage, this is always the case. And.... takers are why people are in the proverbial woods to begin with.
The profession of shrinks is an example. They devise disorders out of thin air and then set forth to treat them. Another: when is the last time you heard a doctor prescribe lettuce and fresh produce to a patient? You'll see drugs prescribed constantly that have to be secured from a source.
When I was a kid it was evident the places not to do business- stay away from used car lots with weekly payment schedules... stay away from rent to own... stay away from the corner boys... today? Mainstream industry is on the take. It's too easy. It's a cycle and we're on the slide right now- we got too big and bloated and instead of struggling to survive we had excess ... and became a target... and entertained BS mental gymnastics described conditions as fact.
There are two sexes, and there is a third however excruciatingly rare it is. That is science. How it's perceived doesn't matter- and in a world based on logic I don't have to play along with someone else's warped sense of reality. In the logical world, you sense intrinsically right and wrong- yet now the law is so far apart from right and wrong its a different subject.... to some... others are happy to exploit it.
And that comes all the way back to "builders and takers".
Yeah, that was a bit cryptic but it intentionally covers a lot of ground quickly.
