Is the whole world going insane? (27)
Grandsiozzie: There is a problem, but what f.ks my mind the most is probably the press not being neutral while pretending somewhat to be. That messes with minds including mine. And by press I include the main social networks.
Youtube is still one of the better ones in this regard.
I'd like to turn back time 150years, and by knowing what we know today make some healthy guidelines.
First would read: no cellphones
Second: no internet

Oh you're harsh lol... As a woman, having a mobile phone makes me feel so much safer if I'm driving at night or somewhere I wouldn't have gone alone pre-mobile phone days...
The internet's got to be one of the greatest technological resources we ever had too, or ever will. It's such a shame it's so abused by so many though, such a shame...

Hmm, no we both remember how life was before the tech set in. Was it better?
You know what I still remember as much better? When home alone: feeling that there were nice loving people out there waiting for you to interact with, but right now you chose to let them alone and be home, as a time out.
you feel me?
now instead we are always aware of how they are, that they may not be as lovely as we wish and lastly they may not care so much about you...reminded of that through the absent msg or even not so nice messages..
Some of the sweet dreams disappear and proper peace is not there cos "they" are in he room with you...so to speak.
I think it may be a challenge to our mental health long term.

Orzzz: Now as an old person, I have lived through the best of times and the worst of times. History tells us about chaotic periods and times when people thought society meant little.
But, even tho every generation rails about the young, it seems things are more out of hand then ever.
People refuse to follow laws, act self centered, want a free ride and think that entertainment is all that is important. Children raise themselves or have helicopter parents. Schools teach fluff that ill prepares kids for the real world. Government sticks its nose into private life more and more.
Forests are burning, oceans rising, diseases rampant. People breed like rats in some countries and babies die because they cant be provided for. Countries that have more people than the land can feed, migrate to other countries and cause them to have more than they can feed.
Half the people rule and the other half rebel. Body counts are glorified. One person gets killed and gets media and change...another dies and no one notices nor cares.
All I am certain of is that I am glad to be old so wont have many more years to watch my world disintegrate.And in whatever form it takes, the land will survive. I have no family to worry about so...
We are living in Huxley's "Brave New World" (1932)If you have read it and found it devastatingly horrible, try reading his virtually unknown sequel, "Brave New World Revisited" 1958. Most commentators of the topics covered in the sequel, agree that we are now locked into a rapid acceleration of all he predicted by 2060, as does Chris Hedges another author of several books outlining how the US is dedicated to bringing it all to us .But, even tho every generation rails about the young, it seems things are more out of hand then ever.

I wonder if the Romans realized their known world was ending. Or the Aztecs, Greeks or Mongols. Is there any civilization that has endured, as it was, forever.
The world runs on the base instincts of primitive humans and most animals. Greed, hunger, procreation, fear of the unknown and survival of the individual and family. Before books, we dont know much of predictions of the future of a nation. Thankfully, often, for the individual, change happens so slowly, we are dead before our world completely ceases to be. And that is why things are allowed to continue. Each generation grows up in the world as they know it. They bemoan the changes in their lifetime. The next thinks things are normal as they know them. Until they look back at the end.
That is how civilizations die. Bit by bit. Law by law. It is like an animal who can eat all it wants. Until it is so fat it dies. Too bad the instigators usually are long gone and cant see what the end result of their greed was.

The judge of Lisbon (Portugal) has judged that only 0.9% of the people that died due to covid, as the authorities claimed it, really died of Covid 19.
Worldwide the numbers of people in the Intensive Care beds were frauded too by the hospitals, so they could get more money from the government. In Germany over 25% of the numbers wasn't correct.
And how many people died of the flu last year? 0, if we must believe the government.
