We mix up conditions of being human w the various conditions possible for a human to be in; this confusion is the source of most suffering-
a: dismissing crucial facts as subjective
b: dismissing consequences as inevitabilities to which cause & effect were irrelevant
a: dismissing crucial facts as subjective
b: dismissing consequences as inevitabilities to which cause & effect were irrelevant
a: leads to lack of faith in many crucial strengthening, nourishing & healing activities; compounds stresses of being human & accelerates aging
b: leads to despair from lack of accountability, & ultimately agency; learned helplessness in the face of preventable consequences

🫠 so simple... 
News Pundiots pretend you cant explain it simply & objectively; whats going on & why we're experiencing civil unrest, plagues, & other ominous trends, how do we meaningfully respond to it all?
The most impactful response would be addressing the root problems (see: a & b above)

But these useful idiots are simply the court jesters in all the kindoms of 'Massamedia'
A straightforward & objective solution would undermine their captively performative & often lucrative foolery, the jig would be up..

Massamedia is like Big pharma but for the collective consciousness.
Never useful, prescribed narratives that must be chained together to get any lasting sense of ease; upgrading that approach to a dependency model via subscriptions & paywalls.

Maybe it only seems like we cant respond to it bc we still aren't even sure where, let alone how
Massamedia clearly wont help with the real cause; only distract. Sometimes thats desired, as an escape, I guess?

Growing up mine used to be gaming, now its herb🌿.
But its wise not to make hazards & death traps out of our useful distractions.

People want someone to blame and there's plenty to go up rather than around:
But that shows we are a confused lot,

A PEOPLE WHO HAVE THESE 2 DISTINCT CATEGORIES STRAIGHT IS THE ONLY CONDITION UNDER ONLY CONDITION UNDER WHICH POWER CAN BE APPLIED EFFICACIOUSLY TO THE APPROPRIATE LEVERAGE AT THE MOST CRUCIAL POINT; WHERE ACCOUNTABILITY CAN INDEED BE RIGHTEOUSLY ASSIGNED IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Until then People will be always led by wolves in shepherds clothing;
Constantly misplacing accountability; helplessly alienated from autonomy, wandering through life as ineffective & thus disengaged.
