NOTE: This post will upset some people as they not only disagree with my thoughts but also mis-read it as something else rather than actually stated. I write what I think, no hidden agenda or subterfuge.
.
For nearly 10+ years now, we (Earth temporary tenants) have been particularly blasted on every occasion for standing up for science, sound reason and often the very truth in matters.
.
America under Trump and the brainwashed of his party, members and followers, are prime examples of this. This post however is NOT just aimed at them. Far from it. For the record, I’m NOT a fan of the Democrats either. If there was a strong, sound third opinion to challenge the two main sides, I might choose it.
.
To explain how we have got to the level of unsound thinking on too many occasions, would make a book in itself or a damn good documentary. However, the outcome of it all is obvious.
.
1. We see professional people such as genuine caring doctors and nurses attacked for doing their jobs based on decades and even centuries of sound and confirmed established science.
.
2. We see people that on one hand want elected to be far more accountable, wanting at the same time, to be able to do as they like, say and they like, without accountability.
.
3. We experience seriously wild rantings that have not evidential back-up whatsoever. Only opinion shared and tried to be passed off as solid fact – because they say so in demand and intimidation!
.
Just above I have posted three examples of growing lunacy. I shall now further address each in more detail.
.
1. It is a person’s right to have an opinion on something – be it how to build a shed, how to raise a child, to how medical matters should be carried out and if they are necessary or not!
.
If any or all things are to be questioned and challenged, such a task must be done with buckets of sense, qualifying evidential materials that has an equal basis in established science and with cold calculation – not hot-headed vitriol.
.
2. I believe that people should be allowed to say (most of the time) what they like. However, here too, speakers must be willing to not only back-up their supposed/imposed “facts”, they must also be willing to accept some form of responsibility for their very words and the after-effects they might have.
.
We are living in the tail end of 2022, with 2023 coming. We make ourselves out to be a modern society. We are certainly not the old “Wild West” of America where everyone could have went around shooting their guns off without consequences. We can and should feel free to say what we think – but with that freedom comes a degree of responsibility and yes, legal accountability. If we start to throw the latter two out the window, world societies will descend into forms of ‘free for all’ chaos.
.
3. It’s absolutely fine to share one’s opinion. Others have done it on my page and have openly opposed mine. That’s 100% fine. The sensible ones doing so, have come back at me with sound reason and with quality material to show they are speaking from a solid basis, not ranting while on weak foundation.
.
If we are to debate and challenge others, it MUST be done more professionally, with sound basis and yes, at times, with verifiable proof that can be independently assessed by further open, sound minds. Laziness in not doing the latter – right now – is causing too many people to grow more brainwashed by the day. It’s got to the stage that they have gotten so far ‘down a rabbit hole’ that even daring to look back, they cannot see the light (proper original sense).
.
Truth: Some people like me. Some people think I’m a pain in the ass. Some (because of own political agenda/ideology) people think I’m a right muppet or at least, try to say I’m one. Who am I to judge! At 53 years of age, I’m still discovering the person that I am. My opinion of myself, would be biased. That said, I believe in questioning things with hopefully sound reason and at times, with evidential material to back-up my words. I don’t like to commence upon a rant without something very sound to back them up.
.
More in the world needs to get back to sounder reasoning. Right now (in my opinion), in places that are conflicting (war or politically), sound reasoning has been abandoned and more lunatics are being not only allowed to wild shoot off their mouths but are being further allowed to take over the asylum that their state is heading towards in metaphorising condition.
.
Commence sense must be made prevail – and yes, I do believe that in order for this to occur, there must always in many areas, be freedoms – but there must also be decent sense, responsibility and accountability. That’s a more professional, practical route to a better society. One that is allowed to fall into wild abandoned chaos does not breed a good future for our children, and their children too.
.
Just an opinion. One you are free to disagree with. You still have that right – until strong-arming, intimidating, polarising lunatics try taking over, if only to then separate you from sound thinking, ridicule you and ostracise you from society!
