Anthroposophy

 

It's year end again, and all I've got is a collection of fragmented thoughts. -  Elon's liberation campaign has left me sputtering and twittering about life on other planets; long live their flatness. 


Watch as our white Christmas turns to mush. - Said the Whale

I happened to listen to a radio discussion about how George Orwell painted a perfect picture of the great authoritarian figures, such as Mr. Putin and the Donald Trump. - No mention of their fascist counterparts.  Biden the Incompetent or Trudeau the Terrible.   The never ending call to sacrifice, and state sponsored fratricide. 

Right left, it's all the same. In a free society, one does not have to deal with those who are irrational. One is free to avoid them.   -Ayn Rand

Inflation is running rampant, and I'm quickly finding much in common with the Alaskan roadkill salvage  harvesters.  I recognize the dangers of having a poverty mindset, but the self-help folks take full advantage of that as well.  I read a comment the other day where a lady who subscribes to the "Unslaved" podcast says that she is so happy when she sees her monthly subscription payment come out. 

“It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights — the 'right' to education, the 'right' to health care, the right' to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are the rations of slavery — hay and a barn for human cattle.”   - Alexis de Tocqueville

... 

My 3 year old claims to know all that there is to know about God, and currently asks questions such as these: If God is everywhere, and can do everything, why doesn't he heal me? He can't do it alone? Does he live too far away? Is the Doctor better? 

If weeds have all of these benefits to humans, animals, and soil... then they most definitely couldn't have been an after thought.  Does one then conclude that "the fallen" world, the chaos and destruction... is simply a matter of perspective?  

I'm not going to make any predictions or resolutions... only that whatever happens has already happened... or will happen again.  - You can thank history, for that.
