Conspicuous consumption is still a deeply embedded value.  I want this way to show your social feathers gone with the wind, but I also want the onus of saving the world taken from 'the individual' and given to society at large. 

Changing the superstructure and base of society is the only way real change can happen.  Placing the onus of action on the individual is guaranteed to fail.  It is idealistic and simply won't work.  The math fails.  There are people with an elite bias to cancel out every concerned individual on the planet by their self concerned selfish actions.

Society at large must change their ways.  Any society has only so many 'good' people.  Bozos screw everything up for everybody else in direct proportion to the money they have and we have a lot of bozos.

Not everyone believes in egalitarian values.  At this time I am not even sure a majority of people do.  Our elite controlled social superstructure has sold the century of the self to almost everyone.  Focus is on the individual, and as long as that is where the focus is.  We are doomed.

The rant at 10:21 should get a prize.


Mad dog Kennedy.

Quote"He acts like he knows what he's talking about when he doesn't, and he says things with a definition that makes people convinced he has the data to support his statement," Dr. Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, told CNN, adding, "We all agree it's a very important issue. But a lot of his thinking is like 'A plus B plus C plus miracle, and you've got an answer.'"

Osterholm is a leading epidemiologist.  Unlike MadDogKennedy he has a brain.

For the first time in his career, Dr. Osterholm also shares comments about the upcoming elections in the United States.  It starts at 40:50.

We of course know what happened.  We bought the ticket and now we ride.
