“The truth you speak doth lack some gentleness And time to speak it in. You rub the sore When you should bring the plaster.” ― William Shakespeare
I'm not sure if this is the proper outlet at the moment but hear me out..
First, dive into Kurt Vonnegut's book titled Player Piano. Then, watch a classicly crafted video of the ramifications of social psychology and manipulation of social physics [at the jump] by Ezra Klein. Free will does not pertain to those who navigate their environment based on emotion. For those who decide on an insight, a thought, after exhausting all options, the network of thought can begin an objectively safe undermining of the current blind, laughing aimlessly, leading the blind in a brutal transition of power. Tragedy or a comedy, a transition is coming. Let's leave aside the idiocracy of skeptics who believe it is impossible of any sentient or non sentient thing to change, adapt, evolve, even succumb to death. Change is the only constant that is widely agreed through scientific laws and properties of the universe. I'm amazed at the lack of encouragement for human intelligence, nurtured beyond an engineered behavioral profile. Anyway... Smile at a stranger! Hell make it a risky day out and make eye contact with a stranger or your kid brother for once. Share experiences and insights! Apply a philosophy to what was first a coffee shop Snapchat drudge to a stoked conversation of current events considering student loan debt, urban housing and transportation, education curriculum, the most influential ways to edit a video to gain an optimal audience response. Take a soul seflie!
Sure, there are more than 300 peace prizes in the world. That doesn't mean for the underground average inventor and writer to give up their advocation. I'm unimpressed by a meek number of prizes anyway given how many people are currently navigating an ever growing world of global community. Based on a select societal panel with made up awards and high societal behavior, peace prizes, national friend day, bring your mom to work day, are all a mechanism to make an average citizen feel less than capable to be a instrument for peace. A neurotoxic gas of thought spreading delusions of doubt and obedient illusions of freedom. There are over seven billion people in the world all striving for peace! All on different scales people around the world are battling struggles for hunger, family resilience and collective community efforts to promote social justice and ecological longevity. Don't get lost in a concrete jungle to where it is past the point of no return, forgetting the Self is a terrible master and a species intertwined in a much greater ecosystem. The mind is a great servant if disciplined. If you disagree, go watch Bruce Lee work his mojo or check out HBO's new series Vinyl. You don't ask for the family your born into. We are each dealt at the hand of natural processes. It is a cognitive imperative to survive and make through the best way we know how with what we have. Beyond consumer democracies, beyond developing reality television characters to distract a populous enamored by entertainment, beyond social psychology that proves our human mind tendencies of Jedi mind tricks and the dark side retaliation. Change is the only constant. Activate a mindful transition for peace and equanimity. Through the current transitional tempest, many will see magicians create spells of wonder and beauty. Whereas others will perceive a world of magic sent off for destruction and a horrid blow in repetition of a history to an open wound that has yet been given a chance to heal.
So it goes. https://www.facebook.com/ezraklein/videos/10153996823213410/
