When a child is raised in an environment of narcissistic abuse, more often than not -- the child becomes an abuser themselves. Not because either person was necessarily "bad" or "evil" -- but because we don't know what we don't know, and all we know, is what we've learned from our life experiences. So anything we have not experienced, we do not know. So the cycle of abuse is passed down from one generation to the next, until or unless there is intervention of some sort -- either on purpose or by accident. Some sort of breaking point. Something running interference. Something interrupting the cycle.

Electrons orbit the center of atoms. Planets orbit stars. Stars orbit the center of the galaxy. And so on. Despite any differences, all up and down every level and scale of the fractal, you have the same patterns. Science has found this to be true for everything. It has been measured and proven.

So also is it then true with the concept of abuse and its scales. The previously mentioned, was the parent-child relationship. Now let us look at the government-citizen relationship. What we see is the exact same thing. No matter who does or doesn't have the most money, the nicest car, the best health or whatever -- we still see the same patterns of abuse within the collective of humanity, as we see on the parent-child level. With all due fairness and credit, every parent -- regardless of how good or horrible, always does the absolute best that they know how to do. How much they know how to do or not, depends on the type of life they lived. So though it might offend some folks to say this, yes -- even a completely abusive bastard prick of the highest order, has still done the best they can by their child -- because being a completely abusive bastard prick of the highest order, is all they ever learned and its all they know. So how could they truly be expected to have done better? Such expectations would not only be unreasonable, but also unscientific and unfactual.

The reason most of us have a hard time seeing the various levels of corruption in government, isn't because its hard to see and isn't because its a made up fantasy in the minds of the paranoid. It is because, we were never taught any other way a society or civilization could be, so we have noralized all of its abuses and dysfunctions. We think it is how it is, that it can be no other way and sadly -- we tend to think that how it is, is supposed to be the way it is. This is why anyone can be indoctrinated into worshiping any governmental system like a god. Doesn't matter if it is called Democracy or Libertarian Republic or Communism or Fascism or what you call it. There has yet to be a system of government invented that is immune to corruption, because we've never seen any examples of what such a system would even look like on its surface, much less understand how it works. At least, most of us -- anyways. There are always those of us who are "ahead of our time" or at the very least, gets a harsh wake-up-call in a serious way, which allows for the encouragement of expanding the mind. Though the wake-up-call may have been harsh, this often times can lead to technological marvels, innovations, new types of multimedia and all sorts of other good things -- that simply came as a matter of course because the brain was kicked in its proverbial ass to start expanding its horizons.

Even seemingly-perfect futuristic systems still require a high maturity level of a society, otherwise the more perfect the system -- the harder and more dangerously it will implode when left in the hands of fools.

If that still seems too far out for you, then lets look at how every system of ideology on this planet recognized an inherent dysfunction within humanity, and each ideology points to a salvation from it. Every culture, past and present -- regardless of how isolated or not they were from the rest of the world -- they all come to this same conclusion. Science says, we are born as wild untamed dysfunctional animals, and the solution is the expansion of the mind through the pursuit of facts and knowledge. Religion says that we are born into "sin" and we have God and the Devil inside of us waging a war for our souls, and externally outside of us as well. Spirituality says that we are fractured and live in a fractured world, and that we must integrate these fractures to become a whole person -- otherwise we're basically all MPD (multiple personality disorder), which sounds about right to me. Philosophy says that the wisdoms from all teachings of all methods can be combined and learned from so that with increased understandings and perspectives, that we can hopefully learn and mature not only as individuals, but collectively as a species.

So as many of you will see and some of you won't -- theres no need to even get into conspiracy theories. Just basic mundane facts of life and history point to the obvious hiding in plain sight.

The religious, spiritual, scientific and philosophical blessing and curse in equal measure -- comes by way of this part of the brain called the frontal lobe. The center of the brain that allows for two things: happiness and free will. Take this literally, stuff about the brain is science. I'm not being metaphorical. The frontal lobe allows us the blessing and curse of looking at all data that we think we see and know, reject the whole lot of it simply just because we feel like it -- and use our imaginations to envision new realities and indeed make them come true. History proves this again and again. We've for sure made our worst nightmares of our imaginings of hell on Earth come true. We do that like a boss. We've also made good things come true as well. Jet planes don't grow on jet plane trees and without free will rejection of the idea of "humans can not fly" to move us into the imagination zone of thought to ask ourselves "if humans could fly, how would we do it?" -- we would never have had jet planes without this. Or cars. Or computers. Or even the wheel or hammers and screw drivers. We wouldn't have anything. Because the trees and rocks alone would not have taught us how to do these things. It took free will and imagination.

So it is up to us now each as individuals -- to choose to end our software-based (to mean, that which is not physical but exists only as data in our heads) frontal lobotomy -- or to destroy ourselves. It is literally time to shift or die.

Not conspiracy theory. Just facts and history. Quite mundane stuff, if you think about it. Nothing fancy. Very "brass tax".

As always I'm impressed by your nonpartisan vision of TRUTH I hate dogma and -isms but the closest thing to me would be a "Common Sense" agenda.
