Many in the West are infantile in their often consumeristic and essentially narcissistic self centered thinking/ doing/ believing/ living.
This is a fundamental problem.
Perhaps we can riff on "we don't control our lives" to something like "many people, infantile consumers, do not realise that they do not control their lives".
This too is a problem.
A favourite line below: "The word ‘prudence’ is not trending very high in the public’s vernacular these days".
I spent 6 years resisting anti-prudence mind control after Occupy, lost the battle, am in contact with another who experienced this, and have seen it spread to others further.
Opposition to you having your own thoughts (and conversations) is rife today. Attempts to dominate the thinking of the weak minded. The classic foundational version of this - opposition to/ inversion of, 'discrimination'. Thus today's "systemic racism and subconscious racism" bulldust. In times past, discrimination was a basic dignity, the first step for a thinking man. You see if you don't discriminate, you bang any chlamydia dripping prostitute for example, or stuff your face with cheap carbs and plant based oils, taking no heed to their health effects. The inversion of discrimination - the hailing of "anti-discrimination", in statute law even - is a foundational attack on our conversation, and therefore on our thinking processes. I am endowed by my Creator with a conscience. By my conscience I know the difference between good and evil. I choose to do good, not evil. Create your world,
