Priorities

Postby Jimbo » 23 Jan 2017, 04:38

So many issues to deal with it is a wonder we are still here. Funny, I watched a video about whether we are really real or we are computer simulations. They said something about how in a video game you can see the end of the map and if this life is a simulation mankind seems to exist by bumping off that map edge and never (so far) falling out of the bounds of existence. But if, as is more likely, shit is real, we have a lot of suffering in the world that needs tending to but we can't tackle all the problems at once. Well we could but the game rules seem to limit our ability to deal with no more than three at a time. So, your top three priorities.

I think that list is very telling of what your priorities are...

None of the above, really. They are all imponderables and out of my control, although if you substituted dog, family, survial or, ahem, art for 'ox' I'd vote for that.

Warming, corruption, health care.

I estimate that 95% of all problems in question are rooted in neoliberalism.

Period.
On the whole, I'd rather be in Wallenpaupack.

I think knowing the difference between TRUTH and LIES would have to be up there, no?
