When you do science you are always forced to look at yourself, and you always get the same answer; nobodies perfect.

The world is too interconnected to leave any winner standing atop smoking ruins. All will fall, so figuring out how to get everyone health care and a social safety net including meaningful work might be a good idea unless you like having a stew pot in your future you being inside. Nothing is going to get solved with everyone going off in different directions. Unity and solidarity is needed or the future is barren and bleak. K-Dog, comment on Kuntslers "Things To Come"

MilwaukeeMark Tue, 03/27/2018 - 04:20 Zero Hedge: Experience has shown me, when lied to people are presented with the truth, they build a tsunami of anger and expletives and hurl it back towards those who are trying to expose the failure in their logic. Americans have successfully been Balkanized and getting through to those who have been lied to now is almost totally impossible; God knows I've tried. When reality finally arrives, it will be in the form of a mushroom cloud, or closed banks, or empty grocery store shelves, or as they are loaded onto rail cars. We can ignore reality, but we cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.'

Zerohedge comment by koan Sun, 02/11/2018 - 19:12 I'll sum up the article for you; "Think for yourself" and "Question authority". You may have heard of the Descartes proposition "I think therefore I am", but it was written out in a fuller form by Antoine Léonard Thomas. dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum or in English: "I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am". Doubting makes all the difference in the World.

"questioning scientific hypotheses, even scientific theories, is what all scientists should do, if true science is to advance. That is why the Royal Society’s official motto is “Nullius in verba,” Latin for “Take nobody’s word for it.” Ironically, the Society rarely practices this approach when it comes to climate change."

Back to Ishkabibble's observation that we are in fact 'one world', there is no outside unless we plan on exchanging with other E-T worlds. So the question is raised: What system of Laws do we live under? Obviously wars between nations would be prohibited. Clearly with only one worldwide market, just individuals exchange or groups of persons who freely associate to XC with anyone else worldwide. Wowsers!!! that means politicians are to protect the freedom for all free people to engage in uncoerced XC with other free people. i.e. protect the peace between us. Gee willikers, hmmm; it seems that duty has escaped at least American politicians hasn’t it? Whose fault is that in a purported democracy??? Peace between we citizens of Earth is a political choice. It is time we acted like grownups, don't you think???

Ishkabibble Nov 30, 2017 at 6:17 pm ALL of the individual national economies of the world must NOT depend upon exporting or importing stuff — whether that stuff is TVs or weapon systems or terrestrial resources or food. The logic of this recommendation is easier to understand if one thinks of the entire world as only ONE nation with only ONE SINGLE economy. Looking at the world in this way, if importing and exporting is vitally necessary for ANY economy (including the aforementioned macro-economy) to survive and thrive, to and from just exactly WHOM would this true macro-economy “export” and “import” — the people of Mars? No. This one-economy-world (the one we are actually living in right now) will at some point HAVE to figure out how to “go it alone”. NOT having accepted that this is necessary is IMO exactly why “the world” is going through what it is going through today. And this is why all of the individual national economies of the world should IMMEDIATELY, DELIBERATELY start “figuring out” and then implement the design of an economic system in which they “go it alone” while providing a decent standard of living for their citizens.

This quote says it well from "Do Disclosures of Atrocities Change Anything?" By ALEXANDER COCKBURN Counterpunch, July 31, 1010. twitchy questions such as that asked by The Nation’s Chris Hayes on the Rachel Maddow Show: “I wonder ultimately to whom WikiLeaks ends up being accountable.” The answer to that last question was given definitively in 1851 by Robert Lowe, editorial writer for the London Times. He had been instructed by his editor to refute the claim of a government minister that if the press hoped to share the influence of statesmen, it “must also share in the responsibilities of statesmen.” “The first duty of the press,” Lowe wrote, “is to obtain the earliest and most correct intelligence of the events of the time, and instantly, by disclosing them, to make them the common property of the nation… The Press lives by disclosures… For us, with whom publicity and truth are the air and light of existence, there can be no greater disgrace than to recoil from the frank and accurate disclosure of facts as they are. We are bound to tell the truth as we find it, without fear of consequences – to lend no convenient shelter to acts of injustice and oppression, but to consign them at once to the judgment of the world.”]. I can not say this better. We seek the truth as individuals and when enough of us do in public then we become a civilized society. I know it does not have to be a majority, but it must be at least a few percent of us; then the exemplars lead us all.
