10. Genetic Defect
Fri Mar 10, 2017, 11:06 PM
Mar 2017

I'm going to be really frank, of course. I listened to the brief clip. Like Trump, the congressman has a genetic defect (we study this in labs as well as with functional MRI), of a not uncommon type, that makes it IMPOSSIBLE for him to use logical tools and reason optimally like other individuals in the community, not all Einsteins of course when I refer to "others" in the community. Humanity really faces a crossroads due to the sheer prevalence of moronism and mental incapacity (and this PARTICULAR genetic defect) in a non negligible share of the population.

With regard to the healthcare issue, that is the proposed modifications to the ACA, the incontrovertible reality is that if the changes are enacted the U.S. government will be directly complicit in causing the early deaths of uncounted tens of thousands of individuals, a death toll that FAR EXCEEDS anything that overseas terrorists, even were they able to get here, could accomplish. That means that, in ACTUAL FACT, the U.S. government has become more deadly to the local population and a much greater risk than the "problem" of terrorism. Based on the bald DATA, the foregoing is an incontrovertible fact.

If you're an academic, or have that capacity of mind, you will have no doubt already figured out that this country has now literally become a lost cause. Income inequality, and concentration of ownership of stocks of wealth, has proceeded beyond all REASON now. What is transpiring now is appalling beyond even the worst estimates of the most die hard pessimists and indeed although neither I, nor anyone, can legally recommend it, or participate in it, it is crystal clear that only massive, massive street action and indeed widespread rioting is going to get this madness stopped, if stopping the DECAY is even possible at this stage. Such is the path that ALL past historical "conjunctures" have taken.

Unbelievable. Nobody can believe what is transpiring and indeed even I do not "believe it" but it is happening. The only glimmer of hope is maybe people will wake up "soon". But, how "soon"? Will it be "soon enough"?
