WHAT'S WRONG WITH PEOPLE?

WHAT´S WRONG WITH PEOPLE?

260701 01:03 WHY DO THEY KILL APES?????????

02:41 Why do we let them? Who are “we”?

070801 08:54 I wonder what happens after the headlines. Is there an omnipotent principal or rector who corrects everything reported? Or can we assume that no-one cares when they read reports of defective hospitals etc? How can mere citizens effect improvements?

The roots of some problems go back decades and more---and to correct defects starting now, we often have to involve ourselves for decades at least---Hubert Humphrey said “Politics takes twenty years”.

140801 04:22 A Norwegian police official says part of the responsibility for violence to females rests with them due to their poor choices as to partner. I have long said that one source of the badness among people is the wrong choices made as to mates, with resulting genetic catastrophe ubiquitous--- and looking at crypto-machos like Germaine Greer, who, while pretending to want improvement in relations between the sexes, actually merely want what any brute of either gender wants, and sees the rights of women as consisting in successful emulation of brutish men, what next generation can we look forward to? --- especially as the nostrum “The Best For the Child” excludes consideration of what sort of society the child can look forward to, with the relationship between child and genetic parents ignored.

06:42 Certain jobs discourage imagination, and only giants in such jobs are able to transcend the difficulty --- e g, accountants must resist infatuation, so are taught to discourage imagination: engineers similarly must stay within parameters of accepted techniques. Unfortunately, not only are lives thus ruined, professions suffer due to discouragement of intuitive intelligence, and safety observations within the capacity of a normal child escape the expert professional and result in tragic loss of life. Professionals are compelled to avoid thinking. This pattern may well be designated “Secondary Super-ego”. It becomes a feature of unconscious character. So we produce masses of idiots (in the Greek sense of “one who knows only one thing”), and destroy the educated by making them dehumanized in the sense that they cannot relate to people who are not limitted like themselves; they lack normal imaginative function. Then we get theorists who say a businessman should only think of business, and not be concerned about society generally---but is this democracy or not? and who is to deal with the problems of society? and then are non-businessmen to coerce businessmen to behave like sheep in the society at large? or possibly even behave like Republicans?

07:25 The expression refering to adultery, “cheating” is so stupid I simply do not know why anyone in his or her right mind would use it.

07:50 When I am in a doctors office I am a child, and when a female is at a university in USA she is as if a child in her own mind, so cannot (by defin iton, cannot (since she is in her own mind a child)) willingly have sex---so she spontaneously believes she has been raped, whatever the true facts. Accordingly, in rape accusations any student court is by definition absurd; such matters require highly trained and dedicated professionals---a student cannot allow himself to accept or tolerate a student court in such a case, and the state is obligated to protect his rights vs a kangaroo court--- the court must be properly defined in terms of the USA Constitution, and not some conceit of cute undergraduates learning how to run society, with the vexed example of witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts in 1700. I refer specifically to the case at Brandeis University some years ago as reported on TV (as I recall “60 Minutes”).

08:06 A major problem in morality is the vexed notion that life and living is to be expected by a normal adult to be benign and good---whereas in fact life and living is horrible and perilous: when people get the feeling that life and living do not conform to the silly naive notion, they often lose what they call faith, and despair of participating in life on Earth. People need to as they grow gather the awareness that they are in a conflict situation which can nonetheless be delightful.

130901 2309 Psychotherapy is not the same as sociotherapy.

180901 2009 Public opinion is the toy of the media, and is worthless. The very word “public” means ipso facto that we are dealing with people of not superior intelligence. consider that we are evolving while trying to get better understanding and that only the elite have any chance atall, and it is obvious that in democracy the game is to manipulate the public and their opinion, however that may be defined.

2015 Idiotism:

2026 The recent anti-racism conference, like everything else UN does, was a sick farce. UN is a kindergarten --- which is alright as long as we do not rely upon UN for anything.
