disaster survival How is the economic disaster affecting what you do different in your household?
What preparations (including survival) are you making if the cow pie hits the fan?
While I am not quite in siege mentality yet, I have become a frequent shopper at dollar stores and bulk groceries for many of my weekly needs and cleaning supplies. Unfortunately, I have allowed by cats, poultry and horse to expect a certain standard that I cannot easily downgrade. So they pretty much get the usual daily fair. I have taken to using the fireplace, when I can get permission from my local fascist government to allow me to burn my own wood on my own land. So the gas company is now only ripping me off for a fraction of the cost that it takes to heat hot water only. While I still will get new clothing as needed, it has been pretty much just new socks and briefs so far this winter. Wow ! I felt so lucky to splurge for some boxer-briefs! ha-ha I am embarrassed to admit I have not been as timely as I should be dumping all my retirement stocks and re-investing in precious metal. I hope that I may do it in time to survive Obamas policies. This is certainly not what I expected to have to deal with during the second half of my life.
Dont you think that certain aspects of evolution and survival has drawn a dark cloud over the human race?
I know evolution is a fact , but i also believe that certain concepts that are linked to evolution and survival , when taken seriously have become dangerous.
While survival of the fittest and putting your self and your own family ahead of others has given humans a chance to evolve and come to this stage that we are now, dont you think that this selfish gene of my life been more important than someone else's life , if not reversed will only end in disaster for the entire human race?
What do you think?
Evolution is a fact, but that highly evolved brain is far more powerful than for mere survival and perpetuation of the species. It enables us to transcend our animal drives and discover in ourselves and others stunning capacity for love and putting the welfare of all humanity at the top and creating a world that cherishes the development of human capacity and care for the planet. That powerful brain enables us to create societies and institutions for bringing out and nurturing all the latent potentialities of every human on the planet. We are amazing, stunning beings. Our failure is one of conceptualization, the failure of realizing what the essence of being human is.
