Becoming unhooked from reality is the most dangerous thing you can do, short of immediately suicidal acts.
You will become controlled by others fantasies. You will be obsessed with fake fears and ignore actual danger.
It is slow suicide to ignore evidence.

Fundamentally, it does not matter what "we" say.
When will "they" finally say:
He doesn't care about us. He never cared about us. He only cares about himself and the ultra-wealthy.
Minds are very hard to change, once set upon a path. When the path becomes broken glass, people look at their feet.

Health insurers have been parasites on the US economy for decades. They feed on the finances of the sick and desperate, more and more each year.
Shame no longer works as a motivator.
Apparently fear still has some effect.

Randolph the Rude-Nosed Reindeer
Had a most disgusting trick
And if you saw him do it
It would make you feel quite sick
None of the other reindeer
Wanted him to pull that stunt
That’s why they made poor Randolph
Always be the one in front!
Y’welcome & Happy Holidaze

It is nearly impossible to express a meaningful, philosophical thought in the restrictive 300-character envelope of a Bloot. Could we please expand to 310 characters to make this possible?

Backwards reasoning -“reasoning” from emotionally chosen beliefs back to the cherry-picked evidence that supports them - is the root of much evil in this world. Fix this, and many things fix themselves.

It seems clear that we are entering the Age Of The Unchecked AI-Driven Billionaires. Those who wish for power above all will be granted their dearest wish. Some of us would prefer peace and prosperity to power. And some think - foolishly - that the first group will offer that to the second.

Just returning from #disney #wdw #epcot - wonderful family experience & mind bending rides. But has anyone else noticed the homogenization of the retail shops? Every shop has the same Disney-branded stuff. Very few unique, original finds. And no “necessities” like pharmacy. Not a good trend, Dis.
