OF THE
TIMES
THE SHAM MIRRORSGenerally speaking, using universals, such as "all... are" is absurd, like much of your general commentary.
Common Dreams (the 'source' for this article, along with NYT) is a theater of the absurd and the insane. All media outlets are. This includes Sott, though Sott is perhaps 1000 times better than Common Dreams....
We live in a 'era' (possibly 2000 years worth and getting worse all the time) where science and technology are worshipped as gods. No, make that worshipped as God, the one and only God. This is total insanity. This is why we see so much aggression and why some people have so much (billionaires and trillionaires) and why so many have so little and are robbed even, of that.It is a dogma, that is certain, and a competing ideology. This is a philosophical matter: scientific materialism v. spiritualism, and there are many sub issues at play that simply cannot be reduced to worshiping science and technology as the root of "so much aggression." The actual cause of the destruction in the article above is very likely just the age old pursuit of power and control, not scientific materialism (although it can be used to sell a populace on getting behind the movement). Wars have been and will be raged in many a god's name, whether people are atheists or belong to some other religion.
Our societal addiction to science and technology can be compared to a cocaine addiction in an individual. Such an addiction (the so-called 'truth') causes the individual to loot and pillage, rape and murder and do every possible abominable thing (like lie and lie and lie and LIE) in the mindless, psychotic, deranged pursuit and extension of that addiction.Provide evidence for the statement that cocaine addiction leads to pillage, rape and murder. I could make a similar claim about your comments in general being based on cocaine addiction but is it true? If you want to talk about drug addiction crime we can look at the Harrison Act in the early 20th century in the US which took the common American's ability to obtain morphine away and the subsequent rise in cost and crime as a result, because no one could afford natural pain meds. Is that a cost of morphine addiction or drug policy? Hmmm...
This addiction can only result in death, agonizing death. But of course, before it dies, it will have killed, agonizingly, so many others.I submit that you may be insane, me too maybe.What does that mean?
Again: This is total insanity. FUCKING INSANITY.
Don't you just love it?No.
DUH.Eh.
BTW: A friend has asked me to help him. His name is Allan Weisbecker. He is an old man, like me but older still, who is asking the right questions. Few ever do this, because the spell of science and technology is soooooo captivating (and soooo totally enslaving through the work of the billionaire/trillionairs). This is his website, please read him and fuck Common Dreams, thanks:

A further 'by the way': I am an organic farmer, 61 years of age, who has resisted technology's advance the best I can and could. I really prefer things simple, humble, careful and truthful. Our very small family dairy farm was raped and violated, taken advantage of, repeatedly by Organic Valley during the years 2000-2008, with very bad effect on our family's lives; and no one has ever held them accountable, other then myself and an old woman whose name is Judy Palmer, who tried for several years to help us get a legal representative compensation from Organic Valley ( a satisfactory dollar amount). Her work was in vain. Additionally, no one else ever helped and this includes many big names (such as Wendlell Berry) in sustainable farming and many prominent organizations who purport to serve the small family farmer.....
ned,
out
Oh and....HAVE A NICE DAY.
How sad that you are filled with so much hate. Spiritually speaking, this hate will consume you from within.
