We seem to be in a crisis of some sorts at the end of
2024…the question becomes, what is the nature of
our modern-day crisis and what is its solution?
An honest appraisal of the state of the world reveals that,
all things considered, we are actually in pretty good shape…
could we be better off, of course, but we are not in the midst
of a World War, nor are we in a world wide depression like
the Great Depression of the 1930’s…
In looking at our ‘‘crisis’’ it seems to me to be a crisis about
the future, not the present… although IQ45 claims America
itself is in a ‘‘crisis’’, it really isn’t… look at what he says,
America will crash if Harris is elected, and the Stock Market
will crash if she is elected, and America will turn into a
third world country if, if she is elected… BTW, he
said the exact same things when Biden was elected…
but all those things IQ45 said is about the future, not
about today… an honest look at America today reveals
nothing is in crisis… everything that is proclaimed to
be a ‘‘crisis’’ in America today, isn’t…and most of these
‘‘crisis’’ are actually manufactured by businesses…
for example, inflation… isn’t cause by government action,
but caused by businesses price gouging… CEO trying to
inflate their bonuses by creating higher profits margins…
which is the root cause of inflation… and for jobs
going overseas… same reason, companies are trying to
save money by sending jobs overseas and pocketing
the difference… it has nothing at all to do with government…
and everything to do with the greed of big business…
and what about the alleged failure of morality in America today?
As conservatives whine about, quite a bit…the answer to this
already exists… it lies in the acceptance of the diversity of people…
treat people with dignity and respect and that is your answer
to creating a more moral/ethical America…treat human beings
like human beings and not an means to an end… like businesses
treating people as a means to the creation of greater and greater
profits… the current nihilism of America is, in part, due to this
ongoing pursuit of profits over the lives of people, that is
what nihilism is, the negation of human beings and their values…
and big business in their negation of human beings and their
values, is the epitome of what nihilism is…
and how does we keep our morals, our ethics given we are
treated lower than profits? when profits is given a higher
priority than human beings and their values…
the true meaning of ethics, of morals is how we treat people…
and we treat people/human beings pretty bad considering
we pursue profits over people lives… we engage in nihilism,
and wonder why people don’t engage in morals or ethics?
Why should we when profits are treated with greater respect
than people?
Ethics, morality can only be reformed when the economic
and political system has been reformed, to put people before
profits… it is hard to be moral and ethical when we are second
to profits… and if there is a crisis in America today, that is it…
the realization that we are the means to the end, profits before
people…
