kindness, not arrogant hubris.

 

 

 

I have recently read articles about

this inflation that indicate the best

response is not about interest rates 

but about improving the supply of affordable

housing.

 

 

 

 

the issue with inflation is often described

as too much demand without enough supply

 

the logical solution is not to cut demand

by impoverishing the populace, but to increase

supply through alternatives, through competition

 

if the appropriate supply simply does not exist,

the issue is no longer inflation, but lack of supplies

and the solution is not about economics

but social responsibilities

 

 

 

 

maybe it's time to break from the helpless,

passive consumption of pre-chewed information

and get out into our communities, getting to

know what and who is really happening

 

 

 

"good" colleges -- expensive, Ivy League,

impressive don't provide better education. 

They provide relationships with wealthy,

powerful people one would not ordinarily meet. 

However, for the most part it's these wealthy

brats bringing wealthy brat knowledge and

resources together to create more wealth extracting

enterprises.  If what we really want is an educated

nation we would do better to go to the old free

school model of people teaching people.

 

 

 

 

What is wrong with this human

world is almost always

exemplified by:

People who just want to be

themselves, mean no harm

to anyone,

are harassed and murdered,

while those who enjoy to

harass and murder them are

applauded, respected,

emulated.

 

 

 

"The road to Hell is paved

with good intentions"

because what counts is

good action which are based

on true kindness, not arrogant

hubris.

 

 

 

Have that compelling thing

you want to say

and say it with the best care

and skill you have at that time.

 

 

 

Fun is but diversion, enchanting

toy.  Seek Joy!

 

 

 

Treated like an imbecilic alien

because your operating system

is different from the "norm" --

though our "norm" is more

an insane crying of loneliness

while treating those around us

with disdain, while clinging to

our hates with meanness

built of rage.
