August 2024 – Rural Tompkins County

All professionals and institutions are beginning to kneel in the presence of the Centrality.

Better than any excuse is not needing to make one. Lansing’s rural community is unacknowledged to the point of non-existence. Planners and politicians don’t need to defend their actions publicly; because there is no public awareness of their crimes. Nobody will talk about it, or acknowledge the receipt of anything that should be talked about.

My attempts to get publicity or awareness of the situation in the media has everywhere been stonewalled. My recent communications with an Ithaca newspaper resulted in “send a pitch” – there was no further response to my emails.

Does the idea of a concerted and widespread repression seem far-fetched?

With 900,000 seniors dead from COVID-19; how many stories have you read about the virus being used to speed up inheritance?

People don’t take the time to hear what you have to say – only to see if you have something they want.

In an age of using: it’s not surprising that the baseline of our human worth is a denial of that worth.

The more power our leaders gain; the less accountability they have, and in our next-gen society of the greater good: everything is excusable – so policy makers can always have a good reason for doing evil, and legitimize any act by rationalizing it.

Our modern sophistication has created a social media that is ever vulnerable to the age-old tools of flattery and deceit. The Bad is coming, and most people will merely follow the fingers of blame to wherever they point.

In an “If I can’t have world: no one can” paradigm, where politicians would rather take the risky solution than the difficult one, we are paralyzed in a frisson of fear.

The tipping point.

As our digital flip-flop flops into AI; it’s time to get off the ride: no amount of wishing is going to turn that horse loose to ride into the sunset.
