We see most of them reading prepared statements shaped to persuade, not inform.

They are the 'news makers', and when an item appears in them it becomes the news. This ability to generate news rests upon a kind of syndrome or psychology or mind-set, not only in the journalistic fraternity but also in influential circles comprised of congressmen, other government officials, and professors. The influence is not necessarily based on circulation, but rather on its reputation with the right people. This is at times consciously cultivated; for example, certain news outlets release their big stories to the wires and the radio and TV networks before the 'big story' hits the newsstands. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> Not only do these 'news makers' make certain things news— in contrast to that which gets 'lost'— but the color they put on the news tends to be picked up as well. Often this tone is set by starting off with what is called a 'hard lead,' the first sentence of a news article which is supposed to sum up the story in an eye-catching way. If this is subtly slanted, the tone of the whole story tends to be set, and it becomes the stained-glass window through which that story and perhaps even related stories are comprehended."<br /></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgy5f4oc0k6luzgvbpIfQOPGTkjn4GmiBbDB9qYFihtW1sYGps9kiNoSfVpckWs4GFk_Ppjjj0pba4_1X8OYRtBpFATmLj0RFoYmYgTajlbSiamEUaPzBOyAJCc_8InD1yvOBeEcGOu1zsGlsgfzKkOZYuHEUzDZ62-SJYiLxiKz8ZKpV-vk-zs5FaZrQ=s570" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="281" data-original-width="570" height="158" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgy5f4oc0k6luzgvbpIfQOPGTkjn4GmiBbDB9qYFihtW1sYGps9kiNoSfVpckWs4GFk_Ppjjj0pba4_1X8OYRtBpFATmLj0RFoYmYgTajlbSiamEUaPzBOyAJCc_8InD1yvOBeEcGOu1zsGlsgfzKkOZYuHEUzDZ62-SJYiLxiKz8ZKpV-vk-zs5FaZrQ=s320" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: trebuchet; text-align: left;"> These 'news makers' today are the life and breath of social media.

People in the United States now find themselves in a struggle, a scourge of irrationality, manufactured deceptions, and a contempt for truth that has been decades in the making. It follows the decline of an involved citizenry and an increasing distrust of government. We’ve watched as ideological extremes have brought hostility and division and a plague of disinformation. </span><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">White nationalism has returned along with fear mongering, unchecked bigotry, and an emboldened culture war that violently looms over us. Our collapse into irrationality shocked the world, and it still watches, wondering what effect it might bring. Our mocked democracy weakened as our leadership moved on to language empty of any meaning. Our historical memory of governance, of ethics, of justice and responsibility, all discarded. With little opposition, power players took on the workings of a dis-information machine characterized by a disregard for the truth, often accompanied by primitive taunts and threats from the highest office. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">What we are witnessing is not simply a political project. Objective truth is viewed by many as a liability, and ignorance as a virtue. Common sense education is similarly regarded with disdain. Words are reduced to noise. Traces of critical thought persist only at the margins of the culture as anger becomes the primary organizing principle of American society. Moral values have been replaced by simple competition, division, and personal interests. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh85UQvdlUPrtIEqrfTVfe-pE3Wn6dUpR8JEiiyF_Od-8hAn_0zLDXwlUJmw9DDPoz46xUStINk1anJd-tm0xAaLZ1KDpDL6I08u1k6LqVM9nXhKWJZOuDrC_iokeUW8SFzTFj5fNuIf0kkztOnEE2rnV71CSy-zU3WL06Zqcear_v_w86cTFkEqTTdwg/s1492/Screenshot%20(7).png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="743" data-original-width="1492" height="158" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh85UQvdlUPrtIEqrfTVfe-pE3Wn6dUpR8JEiiyF_Od-8hAn_0zLDXwlUJmw9DDPoz46xUStINk1anJd-tm0xAaLZ1KDpDL6I08u1k6LqVM9nXhKWJZOuDrC_iokeUW8SFzTFj5fNuIf0kkztOnEE2rnV71CSy-zU3WL06Zqcear_v_w86cTFkEqTTdwg/w320-h158/Screenshot%20(7).png" width="320" /></a></div>We watched as false accusations were made by those knowing that the public would easily be seduced by emotional exhortation and sensationalism, all of which mimics the celebrity culture and reality television. </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAxob3gc9x11SpMjIZwBXflKDGnP2ogQ0x2IbEhbXhrQSRsvp6Xr17iB4AN0q6BTBZ9Kv9RuVhHuUiZfL4jVLDOpkfky7bYN4aBLYbaX26zuE3dPX6gok-3MMQyeOfY3pOWQ8Y_UJzIpdJZdqZHALsY3fK5PP0wyBvnbE4_HGsj9DM1Qn0Z9_bNdknMA/s1920/vid17_voter-fraud-debunked.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAxob3gc9x11SpMjIZwBXflKDGnP2ogQ0x2IbEhbXhrQSRsvp6Xr17iB4AN0q6BTBZ9Kv9RuVhHuUiZfL4jVLDOpkfky7bYN4aBLYbaX26zuE3dPX6gok-3MMQyeOfY3pOWQ8Y_UJzIpdJZdqZHALsY3fK5PP0wyBvnbE4_HGsj9DM1Qn0Z9_bNdknMA/w400-h226/vid17_voter-fraud-debunked.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">State and federal courts dismissed as unproven more than 50 lawsuits of alleged electoral fraud presented by the president and his allies.

That only helps with the first part of the struggle, though. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">That first part, it's perhaps like cleaning up the house, organizing things into their proper place, each in an appropriate cabinet or drawer or closet. We can sit and relax or gaze out the window at our sensible and predictable world. We understand it, so we don't need to worry.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="clear: right; float: right; margin-left: 1em; margin-top: 3em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="530" data-original-width="798" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgGb7-2KLh_3Xlqn9rUXetYR7klXCIYsloRahjEZ9uI5eMjuaFx8egdaTzHClHrurSm9UIo8ckr0j4RpnetEU6RNHT4CrYjG7zyzltc_vTwh_9Y5u87AWOmiO4YGmmrlPexeoniqzd8flZC_8pnOVQjhxLIuGlwNyAwo7lrYqVwjEtT1qKRanAOQlqv7g=s320" width="320" /></span></span><span style="font-size: large;">Okay, that's just the ground floor. Upstairs, there are questions without such easy answers.<br /> --We know the universe began, but as best we can tell, it began from absolutely nothing. It sprang into existence without a cause or origin, and science has no answer.<br /> --It's the same with the origin of life. We know life covers the earth, and we understand many the processes. Science tells us it was just a coincidence that life began from the chemistry involved a few billion years ago, but the honest ones admit we have no idea how that happened.<br /><span> </span> --Then there's our consciousness. We think, we choose, we learn and change, but neuroscience has struggled to find anything other than a deterministic process, like a computer and its program and its inputs. Science acknowledges no free will, no personal control, we're just a result of what was before. The complexity of our awareness is far beyond what science can explain. That's where it ends.</span></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Upstairs, there are things we know and much more that we don't.<br /> --We know we exist, that we have a choice in who we become despite what the science offers.<br /> --We know the rules of society, and we can see that those rules are imperfect.<br /> --We have moral awareness when we stop and think about it, but even then, we can stumble over our own imperfection. </span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It gets harder. <br /> --We've known since we were children that God is there, and we've held on to that, or we've pushed it away. <br /> --When we heard about how he loves us, we almost understood. When he offered us true freedom, we could see just the edges of it. <br /> --We find ourselves walking uneasily, stepping from this rock of faith to that one as we make our way along. <br />Science offers little help with such questions.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Every honest believer is at least partly agnostic, understanding that there are some things which cannot yet be known. And there's perhaps a reason behind that. What would we do if an audible alarm sounded every time we sinned, or if He regularly and visibly stepped into the room to instruct us? If we were pressured like that, would there be any real virtue in our choice? Would there be any genuine freedom to acquire our own identity, our own purpose, our own principles and values? I think that we must turn to Him from an honest and open heart.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div style="clear: left; float: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="380" data-original-width="720" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhMGWJN52E9kfVtwFrX2o7TGRL8pIShwM_cXMKnS5iG6hlnO6PhSCBjTyO0nzeDF-ue-Hj1XaAXpKK6BcG9gAYvrCWDrBfKTPqGZQIZuz6xxMbiIipaBWjUI8cpklF4bwchHdEG0-qXoQRKNy0VQ4xw0OIAqVAKWLOrGpkwjAhvtSHNilqRujcCmf36LA=s16000" /><br /><span>So, downstairs and up, science and faith, we're reminded that being a rational adult can be difficult.

One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. Evil always carries within itself the germ of its own subversion in that it leaves behind in human beings at least a sense of unease. <i><u>Against stupidity we are defenseless</u></i>. Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything here; reasons fall on deaf ears; facts that contradict one’s prejudgment simply need not be believed- in such moments the stupid person even becomes critical – and when facts are irrefutable they are just pushed aside as inconsequential, as incidental. In all this the stupid person, in contrast to the malicious one, is utterly self-satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.</span><p></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"> If we want to know how to get the better of stupidity, we must seek to understand its nature. This much is certain, that <i><u>it is in essence not an intellectual defect but a human one</u></i>. There are human beings who are of remarkably agile intellect yet stupid, and others who are intellectually quite dull yet anything but stupid. We discover this to our surprise in particular situations. The impression one gains is not so much that stupidity is a congenital defect, but that, under certain circumstances, people are made stupid or that they allow this to happen to them. We note further that people who have isolated themselves from others or who live in solitude manifest this defect less frequently than individuals or groups of people inclined or condemned to sociability. And so it would seem that stupidity is perhaps less a psychological than a sociological problem. It is a particular form of the impact of historical circumstances on human beings, a psychological concomitant of certain external conditions. Upon closer observation, it becomes apparent that every strong upsurge of power in the public sphere, be it of a political or of a religious nature, infects a large part of humankind with stupidity. It would even seem that this is virtually a sociological-psychological law. The power of the one needs the stupidity of the other. The process at work here is not that particular human capacities, for instance, the intellect, suddenly atrophy or fail. Instead, it seems that under the overwhelming impact of rising power, humans are deprived of their inner independence, and, more or less consciously, give up establishing an autonomous position toward the emerging circumstances. The fact that the stupid person is often stubborn must not blind us to the fact that he is not independent. In conversation with him, one virtually feels that one is dealing not at all with a person, but with slogans, catchwords and the like that have taken possession of him. ... Having thus become a mindless tool, the stupid person will also be capable of any evil and at the same time incapable of seeing that it is evil....</span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"> Yet at this very point it becomes quite clear that <i><u>only an act of liberation, not instruction, can overcome stupidity</u></i>. Here we must come to terms with the fact that in most cases a genuine internal liberation becomes possible <u>only</u> when external liberation has preceded it. Until then we must abandon all attempts to convince the stupid person. This state of affairs explains why in such circumstances our attempts to know what ‘the people’ really think are in vain and why, under these circumstances, this question is so irrelevant for the person who is thinking and acting responsibly. The word of the Bible that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom declares that the internal liberation of human beings to live the responsible life before God is the only genuine way to overcome stupidity.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"> But these thoughts about stupidity also offer consolation in that they utterly forbid us to consider the majority of people to be stupid in every circumstance. It really will depend on whether those in power expect more from people’s stupidity than from their inner independence and wisdom.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">-Dietrich Bonhoeffer, from ‘After Ten Years’ in Letters and Papers from Prison</span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span><i><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-small;">Emphasis added.</span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"> </span></i><i style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 11.6667px;">Taken from a circular letter, addressing many topics, written to three friends and co-workers in the conspiracy against Hitler, on the tenth anniversary of Hitler’s accession to the chancellorship of Germany… <span style="background-color: transparent;">Bonhoeffer was hanged by Adolf Hitler in 1945.</span></i><i style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: large;"><span></span></span></i></span></p><a name='more'></a><span><i style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: large;">His analysis is valid for his day and perhaps ours.

have been millions across those years who honestly and sincerely gave their
lives to God. We’ve known so many who were magnificent examples of
grace and mercy, of sacrifice and love, of willingness to serve for the good of
others. Leaders and followers, pastors and teachers, mothers and
fathers who, however imperfectly, labored to find His truth in their

imperfect and delusory. Here again, Christianity is an exercise in
the impossible, but it is nevertheless valuable in stretching man’s
potentialities. It lays down tremendous objectives, but it insists that
success is not the final measure of achievement. ... We must bear this in mind
when we consider the future of Christianity in the light of its
past. During the past half-century there has been a rapid and
uninterrupted secularization of the West, which has all but demolished the
Augustinian idea of Christianity as a powerful, physical and institutional
presence in the world. Of St Augustine’s city of God on earth,
little now remains, except crumbling walls and fallen towers, effete
establishments and patriarchies of antiquarian rather than intrinsic
interest. But of course Christianity does not depend on a single
matrix: hence its durability. The Augustinian idea of public,
all-embracing Christianity, once so compelling, has served its purpose and
retreats – perhaps, one day, to re-emerge in different
forms. Instead, the temporal focus shifts to the Erasmian concept of
the private Christian intelligence, and to the Pelagian stress on the power of
the Christian individual to effect virtuous change. New societies are arising
for Christianity to penetrate, and the decline of western predominance offers
it an opportunity to escape from beneath its Europeanized carapace and assume
fresh identities.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering
over the waters.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444; font-family: trebuchet;">3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God
saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God
called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there

And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from
water.” 7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from
the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the vault “sky.” And there was
evening, and there was morning—</span><b style="color: #595959;">the second day.</b></span></p><p><span style="color: #1f4e79; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">We've learned a bit since those words were given to us.</span></p><p><span style="color: #1f4e79; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">It all began <b>13.8 billion</b> <b>years </b>ago. The first visible light
appeared across the expanding universe about <b>375 thousand years</b> after the
'Big Bang'. Discovered in the 1960's and
identified as the 'cosmic microwave background', it has subsequently been
verified by multiple disciplines. Then, <b>400 million years </b>later, the first stars were formed. </span></p><span style="color: #595959; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">9
And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let
dry ground appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the
gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good. </span></span><span style="color: #595959; font-family: trebuchet;">11 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and
trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various
kinds.” And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed
according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to
their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening, and there

from the night and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and
days and years, <b>15 </b>and let them be lights in the vault of the
sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. <b>16 </b>God made
two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser
light to govern the night. He also made the stars. <b>17 </b>God
set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, <b>18 </b>to
govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God

creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that
moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to
its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, “Be

birds increase on the earth.” 23 And there was evening, and there was morning—<b>the

If you can't see it, if it doesn't affect you or those you love, you're likely to sit on the sideline, perhaps unaware of what to others is brutality and injustice.<p></p><p><i><b><span style="font-family: helvetica;">"Where you stand depends on where you sit."</span></b> </i>This summary of <i>Miles' law</i> refers to the perspective of those within an organization and how their perception depends on their place in it. That 'place' imposes limits on what they experience, who they get to know, and what they understand. The principle applies to the rest of us as well in the broader matters of life.</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">For those of us who are not routinely subjected to discrimination, the death of George Floyd or Elijah McClain or <span style="background-color: white;">Ahmaud</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;">Arbery were just passing incidents of no significance. </span></span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">For those with sufficient reliable income, the abusive labor practices of some large retailers are inconsequential. </span></span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">For the typical middle-class family, quality education and healthcare are readily available, and the struggle others might face is rarely considered. Poverty is a distant irrelevance.</span></span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">Unless your family is fleeing from violence and crime, from war, brutality and abuse ... refugees are easily dismissed.</span></span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">The reality faced by millions is unfortunately invisible to many of us.</span></span></li></ul><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">At the root of these difficulties in perspective we find a heart problem. When one neither knows nor cares about such things, the result is a narrow life centered around self and comfort. Walking blindly by on the other side of the street is the unconscious norm, even for people who have been raised in church. </span></p><p style="text-align: right;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: medium;"><b>Where you stand depends on where you sit. </b></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj76IVMEcAKYuc1i5GpyLqFibbCD1p5abZu6xNFjtW7bB-rfYxPzcAGV-eAIL7Bwkcrd9AeUH_k_U184VU_CcWPakBC6o0e-IUbrJf19aXgis3VDYyMBCO7_gMoZoa7lLUaM9MZcchfH479/s1200/blm-donation-resources.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj76IVMEcAKYuc1i5GpyLqFibbCD1p5abZu6xNFjtW7bB-rfYxPzcAGV-eAIL7Bwkcrd9AeUH_k_U184VU_CcWPakBC6o0e-IUbrJf19aXgis3VDYyMBCO7_gMoZoa7lLUaM9MZcchfH479/w640-h426/blm-donation-resources.jpg" width="640" /></a></span><span style="background-color: white;">Some will take a stand for truth, for justice, for compassion. Some will take a stand against immigrants or against countries that send us their </span>"criminals, drug dealers, rapists, etc."<span style="background-color: white;"> Some will stand up for the poor and disenfranchised, and some will declare that individual effort is all that's needed for success. Each reveals where they have lived and how their experience has shaped their perspective, their ideology.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">So how might we avoid wrong thinking and perhaps see more clearly? How might we encourage those we love to consider a broader view? Is there a simple path we might explore?</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">When Jesus began his teaching, he faced a similar dilemma. Many who heard him were themselves in the upper echelons and were perhaps more concerned with maintaining the status quo than in hearing what God had to say.

The love He taught them by his example and instruction changed the course of history. </span></b></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> </span></p>The organized church has struggled through the years against cultural influence. Fellowships found themselves complicit in wars, slavery and genocide, the Inquisition, murderous racism, and brutal legalistic oppression. Following the same trend, religious leaders today have joined with secular forces resulting in a stunning decline in reputation and legitimacy. <p>That's not the path our Father offered. That's not the good news Jesus brought. The example we've been offered by the organized church misses the magnificent heart of God and the grace He extends to us through each moment of our lives. As we walk with Him, the one who loves us and lifts us up, we learn and mature through the years, the centerpiece of it all, the life He gives.</p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b>Wonderfully, His path continues there in front of us all.

Our fight is against evil and its rule.<br />
<br />
We must stand in truth with strength and a clear voice. Choices we make (or that the rulers of nations make) are either good or evil. Precious people live or die based on our actions. They are helped or harmed, enabled or oppressed, lifted up or pushed down.<br />
<br />
Every selfish choice has a price. Every prejudice, every judgement of another, every alliance violated, every hubris, every arrogance, every virtue abandoned, every promise forgotten, every lie, every slander, every hatred, every bitterness, and every time we turn away ... has a price.<br />
<br />
The real enemy attempts to mold us all in his image. "Compete! Conquer! Dominate! Win at any cost!" It's a compelling path that sheds humanity along the way.<br /><br />Equip yourself, then, with truth, virtue, and a willingness to engage. Carry with you your confidence in Him whom you serve and the truth he speaks through you.<br />
<br />
<br />
Every word we speak to our children,<br />
Every encounter at work,<br />
Every gesture, every expression ...<br />
Every decision, transaction, and choice we make ...<br />
<br />
May each one shine with the light of Him who sent us here.Brian Dickersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13721160604202280386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-233281156783634672.post-73644246477955349012020-02-15T14:29:00.001-05:002021-05-04T07:55:50.731-04:00Wishful Thinking<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgY5jmU5dO8_EppzPnG5yI3tmCl63d8ip_W5_f2_Z9CgOToTzzIwr3iZzz4l8l1rVeANEH75GIxnLoiTDQTMYkNwKEE22C4ZKUtgrNLihd05vHAy9ts-C8f8i0LwkDH8y7_k7oJDvY08Sb/s1600/1101651231_400%255B1%255D.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="527" data-original-width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgY5jmU5dO8_EppzPnG5yI3tmCl63d8ip_W5_f2_Z9CgOToTzzIwr3iZzz4l8l1rVeANEH75GIxnLoiTDQTMYkNwKEE22C4ZKUtgrNLihd05vHAy9ts-C8f8i0LwkDH8y7_k7oJDvY08Sb/s1600/1101651231_400%255B1%255D.jpg" /></span></a><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">The 20th century's most influential economist, John Maynard Keynes </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">was always confident he could find a solution to whatever problem he turned his attention to and retained a lasting faith in the ability of government officials to do good. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><u>All</u> the words have changed, but the moral dilemma remains the same as does the behavior.

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ideologically, what are the things we're supposed to have learned? </span><br />

It was necessary, for example, during WWII, to bomb civilians. In the pursuit of room to live (</span><i><span style="color: #660000;">lebensraum</span></i><span style="color: #1c1e21;">), Germany began bombing Polish cities and towns that weren’t military targets. Japan similarly bombed civilian targets in China.</span></span></div>

After the war, it was examined and acknowledged that many attacks had targeted innocent civilian populations that were uninvolved in the decision to go to war or in the war effort.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">If you inquire into such issues, it often circles back to simplistic, metaphoric justification rather than a principled foundation, and there is no objective answer.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> We're fed a constant stream, not of simple truth, but of someone's preferred interpretation. And it needn't be factual, apparently.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> If we accept it, we dull our own heart. If we join in and play along, we perhaps corrupt our own understanding along with that of others.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> And the most difficult issue, I suspect ... if we give our loyalty to either side, we find ourselves approving of things our Father warned us against. <b>It's worth remembering, Jesus didn't suggest his followers choose<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"> between the ruling parties of their day. Both the Pharisees and the Sadducees were a blight on their culture.</span></b></span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> So how do we see the truth with some measure of objectivity, some measure of clarity? And how do we choose our own path? Is there a downside if we do nothing?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> It's perhaps time to take a deep breath and remember the goal of a united people, a virtuous nation, and principled governance. Now perhaps, remind your friends as well.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Like every ‘ism’, </span><u style="font-family: inherit;">Capitalism</u><span style="font-family: inherit;"> emerged slowly over many decades. It came into an economy that had been controlled by </span><u style="font-family: inherit;">Feudalism</u><span style="font-family: inherit;"> and then </span><u style="font-family: inherit;">Mercantilism</u><span style="font-family: inherit;"> for centuries.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In the 12th century, </span><u style="font-family: inherit;">Feudalism</u><span style="font-family: inherit;"> was the norm in Europe. Most workers were serfs for the landed nobles. Less than 5% of folks lived in towns, but things changed. By the late middle-ages, urbanization, production, and trade became more important giving rise to Mercantilism, i.e., trade between towns, between regions, and eventually between countries.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Mercantilism ran hand-in-hand with <u>Colonialism</u> as countries sought to increase their wealth and power through restricted trade and resource extraction. World trade routes and attempts to ensure exclusive access were fought over continuously, and wealth flowed to the top of the economic ladder.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Capitalism, emerging just in time for the Industrial Revolution, was best described by Adam Smith who clearly saw that the restrictive trade practices were impediments to development and change. He envisioned a free market, and it opened the world to capitalism.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Tycoons (and robber barons) amassed great wealth quickly, passing by the aristocracy as industries and productivity grew. <u>Industrial Capitalism</u> tended to benefit more levels of society than just the aristocratic class. Wages increased, helped greatly by the formation of unions. For the first time in history, common folks had the hope of becoming comfortably self-sufficient. A middle class was born, and economic growth began to lift more and more folks from the lower class into the dream.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Through deregulation beginning in the 80's, the financial sector became the key player in our economy. Banks, now bigger than countries, rule a complex international financial system. Some economists refer to the move from banks as money storage to the broader credit, exchange, and investment options as <u>Financial Capitalism</u>.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
A capitalist economy is unconcerned about fair dealing. Scruples are not included in the plan, and mutual benefit is not guaranteed as the market manages itself. Players must choose wisely or lose.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
While wealth tends to flow to the top, the consumer is the essential part of the equation. Attempts along the way to improve the lot of the consumer have been controversial. Although modern economics requires a consumer base able to buy, pure capitalism would let those at the bottom of the ladder just fall off and disappear. That’s the moral inadequacy of capitalism.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<u>Political Capitalism</u>, by the way, is just the rhetoric of governance that supports industrial and financial growth. While perhaps constrained by other principles like liberty and opportunity, governments are inordinately influenced by corporations and the wealthy elite along this evolutionary economic path.</div>

In the last thirty years, we have seen modern capitalism turn away from the middle and lower classes while focusing primarily on national wealth and market dominance.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Despite shortcomings, most political theorists and economists argue that, at least for now, capitalism is the essential component of an efficient economy. With few exceptions, governments around the world agree in some measure that capitalism is essential to economic progress and security. Even Russia and China.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Those same governments agree that more is required and each attempts to mitigate the downside of capitalism; some effectively, some not so much.</div>

<b>Capitalism isn't the gospel, by the way, just the current 'ism', </b>and like its predecessors, it has flaws. Each 'ism' attempts to fit a particular circumstance of population density, productivity, and resource allocation, and each 'ism' is left behind when a better solution is needed. The likely fail point today, perhaps, is the rapidly accelerating inequality seen in larger economies.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
So for now, we need capitalism, and we perhaps prefer limited federal government and a free market. Does that address all of today's issues adequately? </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Or are there emerging risks and costs that need our collective attention? </div>

"Why are diamonds so valuable," she asked with genuine interest.<br />
<br />
They're not. They have industrial uses, perhaps, but no intrinsic value. You can't use them for much except in trying to impress others. Billionaire <a href="https://www.debeers.com/the-world-of-de-beers/about-de-beers/story" target="_blank">De Beers</a> chairman Nicky Oppenheimer once succinctly explained, “diamonds are intrinsically worthless, except for the deep psychological need they fill.” So how does such imaginary value emerge in society?<br />
<br />
Beginning with the simplest life issues - food and water, shelter and clothing, health and learning, and safety - neither diamonds nor gold or other 'precious' things have any practical use.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1AXcGVpd4drnAQZZd3euUsO7R5FEOpdMTyflAxFeRJxDYwr4rMzr4r1_qg9QyDtGHJTNOYu9SuFWFAczApbBnRi3Fk6qSxe6s-Ce0tvpn62p1lo5GTLSbSndU91PneCFOP20zRhhs-y0C/s1600/IMG_0020.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-left: 1em; margin-top: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1AXcGVpd4drnAQZZd3euUsO7R5FEOpdMTyflAxFeRJxDYwr4rMzr4r1_qg9QyDtGHJTNOYu9SuFWFAczApbBnRi3Fk6qSxe6s-Ce0tvpn62p1lo5GTLSbSndU91PneCFOP20zRhhs-y0C/s320/IMG_0020.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<ul>
<li>In Spain, a fellow took me to the commons where he had a root cellar. In it, he proudly showed me his prosperity, about ten bushels of potatoes he had grown and harvested all by himself that year.</li>
<li>In Djibouti, a fellow cheerfully introduced me to his camels and goats, his family's valuables. </li>
<li>In Kenya, a Masai friend explained that goats were his extended family's reserves. If need arises, they sell a goat. If a year goes well, they buy a goat.</li>
</ul>
At the lowest economic echelon: If the world lived at that self-sustainment level, crops and flocks would be valuable. Craftsmanship would be marketable. Fabrics and clothing, bread and produce would be traded, and folks would help each other. Negotiated trades and a handshake would be the currency, and diamonds would still be worthless.<br />
<br />
Second echelon: enter the middle-man; the one who buys and sells, who employs laborers and manufactures products. Currencies emerge, whose value is perhaps just a promise, to enable transactions.<br />
<br />
Third echelon: rule makers (rulers) rise above and impose control; the right to rule and tax people and property and productivity, all justified by the benefit of governance and employment and some protection. Luxury (useless decor) emerges for the privileged. Appearance and reputation become goals. Currencies and financial instruments become useful repositories for their excess wealth.<br />
<br />
In a few centuries, currencies and equivalents become an industry that shapes the world. Confined to the rules of imaginary value, the focus of life is acquisition and accumulation of currencies. And what do you do when you have more than you need? You buy a bigger home, a cooler car, expensive clothes, a diamond ring .... and we're far down that imaginary road but completely unaware.<br />

There's progress for the fortunate. Health and income stability improve. Manual labor declines as mechanization sweeps through home and workplace. Geographic mobility becomes normal. Freedom to choose your path emerges through the years, although much is chosen for you based on the imaginary model of things.<br />

It's revealing to see the priorities those in top positions follow now. The decisions they make change the country and the world, and as they focus on territory or religion or trade, they'll affect the lives of millions. When economic competition becomes the focus, that's where imaginary wealth does the most harm, and competition becomes just a continuation of previous wars. Economic decisions are made for advantage, not for human benefit, and the devastating result at the lower end of the pyramid is deprivation and struggle as wealth is deliberately extracted from communities and countries.<br />

Curious why the oil industry <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/mar/22/top-oil-firms-spending-millions-lobbying-to-block-climate-change-policies-says-report" target="_blank">fights so fervently </a>against climate change? The U.S. is now the world's largest oil producer and has the largest proven reserves (more than 200 billion barrels). That's <i>wealth </i>worth defending despite the devastating cost, at least according to the near-term economics. Much like the tobacco industry's defense, it fights for gain not human benefit.<br />
<br />
Curious why the financial industry has <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-banks-lobbying-idUSKBN16F26P" target="_blank">fought so long</a> <a href="https://ideas.repec.org/p/sol/wpaper/2013-228423.html#download" target="_blank">against</a> regulatory oversight? Major banks and financial corporations are bigger than countries now, and <i>wealth </i>is their only goal, not human benefit.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
There are real truths available despite all the imaginary. There is a view, a perspective that's real-world based. There are foundational principles, and there is inalienable value in each individual, but it's hard to see that from the upper echelons of worldly wealth, enclosed in civilization's illusion.</blockquote>

The split between left and right ... and between friends. <br />
<br />
2017 - "That the leading candidate’s platform is mostly comprised of satire and ridicule reflects the kind of popular anti-establishment frustration seen elsewhere among the Western democracies. But the hidden hold of the country’s most powerful businessmen will be difficult to break. ... because of the asymmetry of time and resources, elections are dominated by the organized and the moneyed who are then chosen to govern." <br />
<br />
~an interesting observation by legal scholar Ganesh Sitaraman. <br />
<br />
In the U.S., our elections today reflect an extraordinary polarization in our culture, a divisive rhetoric from the extremes, and a loss of that once deemed precious to us all, a nation united.<br />

Social media has proved to be a useful tool for influencing shallow thinking. Popular opinion rises from the few moments available in busy lives to consider an issue, so memes and ridicule have become the language spoken by a significant segment of the population. But this trend began more than forty years ago, implemented by monied interests. That in itself is an interesting study.<br />
<br />
Our political process has moved beyond divided to adversarial, and it now will enact policy one year and repeal it the next, further crippling our progress.<br />

Loyalty to biased sources is a common illness. The middle-ground is gone. Friends find themselves insulted or demeaned, unintentionally perhaps, by casual ridicule. Having a friend who thoughtfully disagrees and is perhaps interested in your point of view is a rare treasure, increasingly rare across recent decades. Is there a better position we might take, one based on principle and integrity rather than preferred party ideology?

A precious brother laughed the other day at the long list of things we talk about, often without agreement. It's okay because we work at it, not competitively but in an effort to understand. I so treasure his good heart.

Methodology: Bloomberg ranked the OECD countries by total expenditure on health, which is the amount each country spends for both individual and collective services. Dollar figures for per capita spending use current prices and current purchasing power parities. (PPPs are the rates of currency conversion that eliminate the differences in price levels between countries.) Expenditure data include personal health care services and expenses, medical goods dispensed to outpatients; prevention and public health services; health administration and health insurance. Spending figures for 2016 are estimated or provisional. Data for related factors are for 2015 or the latest data available.</div>

Infant mortality refers to the number of deaths of infants under one year old. Compulsory/contributory health plans include social health insurance, compulsory private insurance and compulsory medical savings accounts.</div>

The media handles politics like they do sports, playing the high points like a super bowl narrative. That's not journalism, of course. <br /><br />Journalism, unlike most of our media sources, is objective, thorough, and fact-based. Opinions are rare and honestly admitted, interpretations are rare. These days, journalism itself is rare. Did you know that the U.S. ranks 45th for journalistic freedom. That's pretty far down the list.<br /><br />Sources with journalistic integrity are perhaps rare. Reuters, the Associated Press, the Washington Post, perhaps ... others? Are there any whose agenda isn't driven by ratings and income? What should be our response?</span></div>

The political divisiveness we see today is much like what happens among children when one thoughtlessly blames their sibling for absolutely everything that's wrong in life. It's tantrum tactics, the need for an enemy to oppose and blame until you get what you want.<br />
<br />
Wise parents will demonstrate for their children how to think clearly and interact reasonably, they insist on truth, and they lead by example. Irrational and unreasoned turmoil are the antithesis of a healthy family or community. <br />
<br />
Imagine a family that, over the years, is split further and further apart over issues that could have and should have been resolved. Is a nation any different?<br />
<br />
Now imagine a nation, divided over how one category of people should be treated. There's a high price for such refusal to grow up.<br />
<br />
Mexicans are not the problem. Muslims are not the problem. Refugees are not the problem. And neither is NATO or China or the climate. Of course. Perhaps the central problem is our divisiveness. Perhaps if we were less opposed to each other, we might find solutions for what needs solving. If we were clear on the goals and less focused on winning, perhaps we might make progress. If we paid more attention to what works and less on our preference, we might see beneficial progress.<br />
