Being “Aquarian” I am apparently “A little odd”! which is strange, because I “don’t FEEL odd” in fact I would go so far as to say, despite my ramblings, my affinity with certain groups, I have an abiding sense of “normality” and by that I really mean straight, fair, courtesy, civility and justice. Of course all of those are subjective and differ in interpretation depending on the society one lives in. if one is a tribesman in the boonies of South America, it is ok if you are first back to the village after a hunt trip, to sleep with someone else’s wife. Burping may seem rude in the west but is considered very correct in some countries. And lopping off a limb is perfectly acceptable as a punishment for swiping something in other countries. Quite frankly, I find all three, unacceptable. I am wondering where we as a race are heading?
I always thought it would be a good thing to reach ever higher in our quest for whatever we are questing!
Necessity is the mother of invention apparently and I am now wondering what is “Necessary”? What is “really” necessary? Not what we “Think” we need as a direct result of the particular society we live in. you “think” you need that McDonalds? No you don’t, you need a carrot or cabbage, you “Want” a McDonalds and you probably “Want” it because of some mysterious marketing or mass hypnosis. An addiction we don’t think of as an addiction.
I was thinking about these small hidden communities in South America and wondering why they had remained the same for centuries-millennia, whatever it is they believe, has kept them in a perfect state for so long and their number has remained balanced and in harmony with their environment, while ours in the west has spiralled out of control and continues to do so. Most of us are absolutely dependent on the system continuing as it is, and it is NOT a good system! In a couple of hundred years we have gone from being able to float in a balloon (Montgolfier bros) to unmanned drones bombing the fuck out of whatever. And apparently, we have sent men to the Moon! But our cars still use rubber to roll on and internal combustion to propel, just like they did in the beginning! Every piece of technological advancement has been in the “how to get more money out of the people” sector. And just about ALL of it has been based on “Oil” consider the following:
If the sunshine radiating on the surface of an area 100 miles wide by 100 miles long would provide all of the electricity that America needs, every day, why would Americans hesitate to use it? There are millions of open acres in the deserts of America, where the sun's energy does nothing more than heat rocks and sand.
This is using CSP (concentrated solar power) a technology that has existed for quite a while now. There is NO justice while we are enslaved to Oil. If that philosophy makes me “Odd” then odd I bloody well am! The reason we don’t get it is because you can’t really justify making us pay for it! What do you think it “Actually” costs to make a mobile phone call? About fuck all is the answer! The technology and systems are in place and have been paid for a trillion times over, so now it is just a revenue generator, but we pay and pay and pay and say “ooh I got a great deal with carphone whorehouse or whoever, 500 texts included! Whoopfuckinee, I say. And the same will happen with energy. And all is to satisfy………….. What? A “Need” we don’t really have! A “need” we have been conned into “thinking” we have. Physically we need food shelter and warmth the rest is window dressing at the expense of what our minds may achieve.
Being an “Aquarian”, I think like this!!
