The problem is much deeper than that....the reason the West is dying is at its core because of bad thinking and bad ideas...and the question that must be pursued is how that has happened. One of the reasons is that those in power dont want any boat rocking because it tends to get in the way of careers that are going very well, a change in the ideas of the society tends to change who is in charge as we look for the best leaders for the moment. Those in charge dont want to see problematic for careers idea changes if those people happen to be inferior people, which has been the case way way way the fuck too often with the MEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEME Generation. The failure of peer review in science was caused by this, those who had the reputations have actively worked to kill off new ideas and better ideas. We are now at the point where heretics are actively hunted down and crushed. I agree with your quote but no longer am motivated by any desire to help my society as I used to be, for me it has been for sometime a core part of who I am that I seek truth and speak truth regardless of what might come....I hope that I make a positive contribution in the lives of others....but I do what I do regardless.

that's good. if you can convince a couple that "get rich or die trying" is dumb, you've done well.
"you have to join the system and then change it from inside" is the worst advice ever.
I have said this here before and many many times over the decades....I left the D party and the Activist Left back on the late 80's because I was way the fuck too often hearing "Dont talk about that...THAT would not be productive!". It was not long after that that those who refused to conform to the demand began to be crushed and shoved out of the way.
Were we are today I saw coming over 30 years ago....I feel a lot like Camille Paglia....."You could see this disaster coming from miles away, I know because I was there seeing and talking..... I warned you (paraphrase)".
TrU DaT.. SO what is the alternative??

this is probably your last incarnation, bro. I feel im at the end. when people get their fill of the cycle of destructiveness, they will all be along, in due time, bodhisattva. we can only do us.
Work on you...become the best you that you can be.
I had at least 4 advantages or good choices:
1) I was a huge reader as a kid, thus a grand imagination of living a life other than the one I was living and also already I had a huge drive for Truth
2) I decided by the age of 5 that I was going to be me, I was going to be true to me...others either take it or leave it...that I am not interested in betraying myself for social acceptance
3) I found Zen and the Tao which spoke to me like Christianity never did.
4) I married someone who had been horribly sexually abused as a child, and had/has so many scars from that, making me a partner of a survivor...and then I became very active in the Childhood Sexual Assault community where I figured out that I cant fix anyone other than myself, which ended up meaning that I have spent this entire life working on making myself (such that I exist) better...I pursued life long education....which very very few people do anymore.....our ancestors did it better.

thanks for that, sincerely.
I love buddhism and taoism too. im into Christ as a philosopher, the organized churches are all fucked up, full of masonic dicktards.
I pray to jesus as an emotional recharge and intent externaliizer. a spell if you will.
I also meditate
"Im a bright sun radiating pure love"

BWAA-HA-HA-HAAAAA. Dude, if you think being reborn as an Asshat Zombie is a step up, what the fuck were you before?
QED Bodhisattva my ass.
Oh one more that I need to add...I decided at the age of 11 to try to remember things that seemed important, even if I did not understand at all what was going on or even why it seemed important. This has been so helpful, because as I have learned and grown or maybe just changed I have been able to go back and figure out puzzles....for instance my dad died in 1986 and we never had much of a relationship, he never understood me a lick and I had no interest in understanding him (He was for instance an alcoholic wife beater)....but five years ago I was walking my hound on a long walk and it all became clear to me....I understood all at ounce who he was and how/where he went wrong. This is the sort of thing Einstein used to talk about, how truth just came to him on walks after struggling over some problem, came to him as if by magic (or maybe God, though I dont think he said that).
I love that you go both ways...I do too....but it was only starting in my thirties that I gained an affinity for Christian thinkers...for instance Thomas Moore (Care of the Soul) became one of the most important teachers in this life.
yuk..

I care about the truth- the real one- Not Donald Trump's FAKE and FALSE REALITY that he is very successful in finding just the right audience of fools and stupid people to mislead.
I am educated. Made sure of that as well. And I am decent to others.
I have identified America's problem is Donald Trump- and getting rid of him in November is the first step to take.
The second step is to show you Trumpanzees that Donald Trump is not a God, he is not above the law, he is not immortal, he is not acceptable to be the president by the vocal and voting majority, and the people of this nation do not have to no longer accept his or yours hateful, dangerous, and unacceptable ways!
It's like killing two bad things with just one election.
November just can't get here soon enough for me, but just knowing it's coming soon now is such a wonderful feeling!

That means many things to many ppl, what does it mean to you??
dont let others tell you what your goals should be. don't be guilted or shamed into things.
how many goals did you set to please certain people, or chicks?

It's OK to Be White
Just because they're legally considered white, that doesn't mean they actually are. There are lots of Syrians/Arabs who actually are white, so they can be assimilated to white society. But there are also brown Arabs who aren't white no matter what (((the establishment))) says.
