We live in a world where an authoritative explanation is considered the same as a solution. We’re told that the recent “1,000-year floods” are due to climate change, and “what would normally be a small and consistent trickle of water over the course of the year, becomes a large bucket dumped all at once” – concluding that “we need to rethink everything about how we build where we build.”
Ya think? Don’t fix the climate change; fix the building codes? Maybe we should rethink everything again.
It’s not true that “the People are always the last to know” – sometimes the People never know.
“This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a black hole”
Shamelessly self-promoting: science has become a platform for the destruction of humanity – a tool of the rich and powerful; selling a vaporware future to an anxious population.
In our unhappy world: Science keeps piling block on top of block; to make a bigger pile of blocks – with the singlemindedness of a Scrooge – never admitting the need for responsibility and accountability – and with no epiphany in sight.
Science has traded the adult wisdom of fallibility; for the adolescent; “Look what I can do!”
Now what can they do to fix it?
It’s tough to get your feet under you when the ground is constantly shifting. Wikipedia is as level a field as the Grand Canyon – with all the clarity of a bar on Saturday night.
With each article; consider the source: Did they bother to clean the lens they’re using — or even remove the lens cap?
These days; there is no such thing as a balanced argument. No time given to opposing views . . . and no mercy is given to those who hold them.
In our Standardized world: You no longer need to decide anything – the answers are placed right in front of you. Who would dare to demur? .They’re watching.
The biggest cause of death in fires is not panic – it’s lack of panic.
Our government is on hair-trigger alert to add to their power with every possible excuse – but no excuse is sufficient for them relinquish any of it.
We no longer have a dialog with our government; it’s a monologue of policies and precepts – with no meaningful participation or oversight by the people. Congress is not filled with our representatives – but our rulers.
The time left to change all that is running out: Congress is deftly juggling the disastrous fallout from their Climate Change Cronyism; and when they let the pieces drop – they’ll find out that they need to control everything.
Like the cheap insurance policy that refuses to pay out when you have an accident; the mirage of our government’s caring persona blinds us to a desert of bureaucracy and self-interest. You can distance yourself from the real-world consequences of a policy — until you need to use it.
