The “Powers That Be” Just Now Noticed We are Dying
— Why Are They Bothering? It’s time for US to become the New Pioneers
First, let’s get something straight. We are “The Powers That Be.” When someone snorts and laughs at the idea there’s some shadowy group of six guys that runs the world, they’re right. If the majority of people get together and agree on the way things will go, they will run the world. And they should. And they must.
It’s a life-or-death situation.
Whatever less-than-everyone group makes the lousy choices — their time is limited, if only by … death. No one can live forever (and no, immortality is not a valid or worthy goal for the uber-rich and uber-insane and even if it’s possible, it should not be permitted).
I’ve been telling people for two years, with more or less coherence, that the answer to our problems as a group do not lie with “leaders,” any “political party,” or any top-down institution be it higher education, media, or big business. The answers lie with us and within us. When the majority of people have decided they’ve had enough misery, they can and must and will choose the opposite.
