@condret It is also an invitation to say "a fart" and observe how they are moved by a flatulence.

@freemo I absolutely mean it that way - it must be systemic, no single individual could just make the bad things that are happen.

What i was trying to say was more in the vein of "what systemic thing is it", and while wars are horrible, they are not a cause.

@freemo So we should not attempt to understand?

Hitler was an individual caught up in events, and we are too.

You are right. It is not important to suss out any base cause, to save humanity. Events will play out, and that is it. Humanity is not necessary, and what happens will happen, and the universe will not be worse if we vanish.

Yes, i think i can be at peace with that.

@freemo If you name the war as the base cause, you are absolving humans and their behavioral patterns.

Not putting effort into cooperation, not investing the effort necessary for effective communication, these would be examples i could accept.

What are you trying to say? What is the base cause, a magical war that follows humans around because a god mandated it? Or is there something else, a flaw we should probably adress?

@freemo @Hyolobrika War happens, no fault in humans?

That is a relief. And i silly goose thought i should regulate my emotions!

@freemo Ah, so you are implying your political system is a problem of note.
I can see that, it might well be why the US have such a negative effect on the rest of the world.

The place most amenable for humans to exist, producing the conditions to destroy humanity. Q would be pleased.

@Hyolobrika I have no idea what your medication is or means, but i wish you a lot of fun - with or without medication/alcohol.

@freemo
Psychosis happening in the us, randomly, for no base reason? Spreading, for no additional reason but that it is infectious, right now, not ten or a hundred years previous?

Everything i heard about renewable energy points towards "we could". Everything i heard about nutrition points toward "we could feed everyone".
Why do we keep people in agony? Does it not make sense to seek a reason that causes people to behave this way, beyond "psychosis is infectious", infecting only one country, as far as i catch your drift?

@freemo The question i would ask would be: "What makes this happen now, when we have the resources to do better?"

@freemo Hmmm, i only meant to say that the symptoms are worldwide, manifest themselves in the us a bit earlier. I probably did not explain myself very well.
Guns might not be the central issue here, even if handing them out like candy in the us might aggravate the issue we have.

I propose that the issue is that humans tend to react to stress in a manner well-suited to direct confrontation, while the problem we see is more systemic.

@freemo Now make the transfer to the world. A lot of suffering going on, guns or no guns.

@hacks4pancakes Theoretically, someone might have to overtake for some kind of emergency. Like an injured person, and no way to call emergency services, perhaps.
The only reason i know that makes this make sense is to think a way should be open, just in case of emergency.

@Hyolobrika Well, i hope you get to try (it tastes nice), and on the other side it is kind of a headache thing for me. Don't overdo it ^^
