Humans have never lived in safer times

There are more people alive today living in peace than in all our history.  Yet many are convinced that they should fear.  And now, today, many are convinced that we should fear each other.




Thoughtful ideas vs Thoughtless intimidation.

Many times I've seen human beings influenced by thoughtful circumstance.  Yet our social systems are devised to use thoughtless intimidation.  How has a society based on the idea of freedom been subverted into a police state?  I believe it is because of how we choose our leaders.  And it is how we have been conditioned to believe we need leaders.  If I show you a new and better way you will naturally accept this knowledge. To share is not to lead.  If I demand there is a critical need, and forecast a terrible future if I am not heeded, what form of leadership is this?

A jurist framed a test of freedom of speech.  This freedom does not condone the false claim of catastrophe to the group.  Yet isn't this exactly done day after day by the few that wish to control the many?   FIRE they scream!  ISIS they scream,  VIRUS they scream.

You are safe.  Be cautious, not fearful.
