Global Fertility Decline

Given all the problems the world cannot support so many humans so going towards a billion or two and low consumption seems sensible.

Paradise City - Guns n Roses ( Live 1988)

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home (oh, won't you please take me home)
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home (oh, won't you please take me home)

Just a urchin livin' under the street
I'm a hard case that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case so buy me something to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line

Rags to riches or so they say
Ya gotta keep pushin' for the fortune and fame
You know it's all a gamble when it's just a game
Ya treat it like a capital crime
Everybody's doin' the time

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home

Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here I can't quite remember
The surgeon general says it's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette but I can't see
Tell me who you're gonna believe

So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away

Captain America's been torn apart
Now he's a court jester with a broken heart
He said "turn me around and take me back to the start"
I must be losing my mind "are you blind?"
I've seen it all a million times

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home, yeah yeah
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home, yeah yeah
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home

I wanna go, I wanna go
Oh, won't you please take me home
I wanna see how good it can be
Oh, won't you please take me home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home
Take me down, lead me 'round
Oh, won't you please take me home

I wanna see, what a woman can be
I want to take you home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home
I wanna go, I wanna know
Oh, won't you please take me home, yeah baby

Virgil Abloh RIP (wiki link)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgil_Abloh

I only learn of certain people who are driving forces behind our world when they pass as they remain obscure to the general public who looks more at society gossip and runway starlets but ignores those responsible behind the scenes with boring personal appearance and personal lives. To die from such a rare cancer so young is odd and especially when so loved and appreciated. After watching NDE videos I feel assured that somehow it is alright. One can' t help but wonder though. Perhaps he fulfilled the purpose he was sent for and needs to return quickly to an entirely different position where he fulfills different emotional needs. Supposedly we reincarnate until we rid ourselves of desires. One life a king, next a warrior, another an intellectual. Virgil combined many aspects. Most would envy such talent, success, creative drive, intelligence. We all wonder why we exist and our meaning in life specifically. Few have vision of such creative leaders who become famous. I think if I were to climb to the top of a field that this would be a great satisfaction and challenge, as with the coldplay situation or Beatles. 5 or 10 years of high creativity leads to burnout or confusion. One must retank energy in nature or perhaps in between lives. If we as a collective are slowly gaining a higher consciousness as stated by angels to people who come back then maybe our personal ambitions will be more fulfilling in some deeper sense that we have difficulty even grasping now, much as a child hardly can relate to adult needs and desires and activities. At any rate on the private level it must be sad to lose a parent so young. So many people are so useless to society. I am a complete loser for example. Nobody gets bothered when most of us die, only immediate family, acquaintances. Some people nowadays have built online followings but another blog, tiktoker or vlogger can always be found like switching TV channels mindlessly. In the depths of war existentialist nihilism reared its head to reject classic certainties destroyed by evils of war. Perhaps seeing our mindless consumerism will cause a similar reevaluation leading to a higher purification in a coming 60s type spiritual hippies revolution at a more intense level than back then. We have learned more about Eastern mysticism, yoga, psychedelics and the futility of materialism over the last generations and can apply this to create a society more in harmony with itself and earth. Like the young man cleaning the ocean garbage there are paths which are against the standard ambitions of fame, fortune. As a shy, reclusive person one wonders how such people like Virgil or that Dutch youth at Ocean Cleanup find and maintain a vision from within that is so much more than others. Coldplay beat the path well trod by other bands since many decades. What on earth could be original? The best downhill skiing ever? But useless fun. They say the longer we reincarnate the more spiritual and less active we become. India is disdained for its chaotic misery forever while producing deeper spirituality. I suspect India is integrating humanity slowly into its spirituality by osmosis. This is why the English conquered it and this became their language and the global lingua franca to aid in the spread of ancient concepts long hidden. America is similar in effect to old Rome. Global immigration integrates cultural movements into new ones like Egyptian, Iranian and Greek religious dogma united with the Jesus persona to become Christianity which heavily influenced birth of Islam which together dominate the globe. America' s endless wars, expansionism, integration of cultures inside its own could help create a new religion, philosophy going beyond capitalism vs socialism or our various monotheistic competing faiths. When we feel love at a deeper wavelength then Lennon' s imagine song could become reality in a factual practical way. Religion is a practice but if it is directly felt as by the mystic then rote practice and houses of worship become irrelevant. Maybe this is evolution. Read thoughts, feel each other' s feelings as empaths, see past, future, lucid dream in community, understand communications with animals and plants and the planet itself. Then we feel God directly all together like in some millenialist vision of the lamb lying down with the lion. Now back to our regular programming of grief, corruption, greed, sadness, despair.

Ocean Cleanup Update

This is so excellent. And after cleanup and river intercept then ban on plastics production. I mean it rains microparticles of which our cells are polluted and nature globally creating problems like human infertility. This is similar to someone smoking. P!astics are like exhaust from a car which somehow get into everything. I never heard this about steel, wood, cement so petroleum products are a problem. We must stop using, producing in any form to burn or as plastics.

Researching and observing I get the idea that Google, facebook, twitter, instagram, youtube will become just one of many information sources. In the 70s there were 3 TV channels which soon expanded. After this phase one of the main complaints will be void: suppression of free speech, propaganda, election manipulation. Since these main providers are in left wing areas and censor alternate viewpoints not only in the USA this change will be welcome. Media creates reality in the mind. Since film and radio were created propagandists everywhere, like advertisers have used media to expand their influence. Monopolies never last long however as they get stultifying and boring and oppressive. How many youtube vids have I seen that complain of having to self censor and make content available elsewhere on user created subscription services? TV and magazines and newspapers are also very controlled in content. They belong to a few companies. In China the government openly censors. In the West this is more subtle but we see how papers and channels lose viewership to other sources thought by many to be more informative, truthful and distant from control by politicians and wealthy capitalists. This is a healthy sign of democracy in action. New technology can be abused but also used properly to increase justice, democracy, general freedom and well being of the masses in open discussions.

Hollywood' s gay China problem

Smart commentary. Anti gay Chinese stance unites western gays with other anti chinese Western patriots. This will unify left and right in America preventing civil war or secession as they seek common cause. I think the man here misses the severe social splittering happening in America due to such uncohesiveness due to varied lifestyles, gay/ straight/ religious/ atheist and only sees advantages in a free culture. The Chinese censorship and control is likely based on the observation of a near civil war in America and the anticipation of the same at home. If China succeeds in flattening incomes, bringing cultural cohesion then the West will need to do the same to survive. So California leftwingers will need to find tolerance for bible thumpers in flyover country and vice versa or civil strife will become endemic and war inevitable. Can a country split still dominate the globe militarily and economically? Can a military get by with a large gay contingent? ( this is its own story and interesting throughout history, think greece, rome, julius caesar). Culture changes and gay, straight, mixes cultures may develop as in Roman, Greek times, being very ambiguous like the idea of extramarital lover in France more acceptable than in perhaps Northern Europe. Human evolution is also a social one and it is getting interesting.

Black Femicide and Intimate Partner Violence: A History

Joe Jackson - Steppin Out

Glamour Magazine Analysis of Rowling Controversy

https://www.glamour.com/story/a-complete-breakdown-of-the-jk-rowling-transgender-comments-controversy

I will have to study this more thoroughly. Knowing no trans people I find little way to make sensible statements. It is even hard to have prejudice if I only heard this existed a couple years ago. For example I don' t follow much newest pop music and films in my age. I follow some politics but not deeply. One gets into a work and hobby routine after 30 which absorbs one more or less. Life moves due to technology rather quickly. I certainly hope that things like mass iphone possession, psychopharmica, chemical sex change possibility, everyday cosmetic surgery for everyman, etc will not warp our society to a point of unrecognizability so quickly that a generation is ever shorter, i.e. each ten years the next age group will so violently disagree with the social and moral values of the last that a generation gap ensues as with Rowling and others. She seems to know and appreciate many trans indivuduals but disagree with the concept( I have yet to study all of her statements). The more complex society becomes the more difficult agreement becomes on survival matters. Then a weakened and divided siciety becomes prey to invaders. This was always the dangers of highly developed civilizations, ours no less. Cohesion of muslims, Russians or Chinese is greater than ours and clearly could threaten our existence long term. What comes after trans rights, intersectionality, etc? If I proclaim my status as kundalini awakened as minority staus I would be laughed at but it brings severe life problems. Many have severe multiple personality disorder, schizophrenia, bipolar. Sexual minorities are vocal and visible. Others just need self awareness and organizational talent. I speculate on future trends. Who knows where society is headed.

African Slave History

https://www.theburningplatform.com/2021/11/10/a-brief-history-of-west-african-slavery-for-the-woke/

As my Irish descendants were very much enslaved by my English ones for hundreds of years and had neither of them much if any to do with this US American slavery I find the narrow historical focus in for example my AP US historyin high school myopic. One could also go into homosexual history in old Greece, middle Ages Europe, Japan in Babylon, etc. Scientists in astronomy or biology or archaeo- anthropology go parsecs or millions of years to the most obscure roots of all things but once people touch certain topics all becomes taboo. We have open our minds to be more flexible. Wars start, civil wars in particular, by building up a narrative concerning the coinhabitants of the country with the possible motive of ethnic cleansing or genocide. Only a deeper cultural understanding of our mutual pasts can free us from our current misconceptions and hatreds used to fuel a bonfire of war.

The Cost of Being Woke

Criiticizes right wing attacks on activists, purely online feel good activists and explains that wokeness is not just a joke religion of phrases. I suppose if I just open my heart up I will feel truth but it seems to me there are as many truths as there are people. Perhaps humans are the unique thinking creature so memes, ideologies, dogmas, religions take on their own realities. To get past these we must go to the next higher level beyond mind( 6th chakra) to 7tth chakra. Like power of babel confusion, only unity of understanding in bliss (7th chakra) or love of heart(4th) can overcome talk( throat chakra) or mind or rational logic. Anyway I really do get confused by all of this so I need to withdraw from the arguments which seem circular, contradictory and in the end based on emotion. People continue to believe what they want and just argue past each other. I must go beyond that into deeper spirituality. Everyone must grok that and from a higher space of inner calmness they willl understand themselves and others better. IOW if I suspect I have more spiritual gift than I have an extra responsibility towards neutrality. Separation of church and state applies. Everyone can go to church, confession, say a prayer. Alice criticized in previous video inactive spiritual people but once one gets involved confusion reigns. Who is evil? Everyone is self interested and it is win win or zero sum game? I post endless videos on evil govt and corporations. Youtube is great for investigative journalism. All this stuff about cultural appropriation is difficult. Christianity is a mix of most cultures from mediterranean and northern Europe, by doing just that to get everyone along the way to accept it. This is how societal integration works. Suddenly beards on young men get cool just as US spends endless time bombing conservative middle Eastern countries and immigrants flood westward. I work with all sorts of people from the world and borrow every idea, learn their culture, etc. I marry a foreigner, my kids are multilingual. Am I some hypocrite who is trying to use everyone. I should give up yoga and meditation and tai chi after decades and go back to catholicism? Forgettaboutit. No way. Spagheti and pizza were in earlier decades more exotic like maybe thai food now. Should I only eat wonder bread and mayo?

solar plexus chakra

feeling a lot of this energy today. Maybe my pisces lack of self confidence needs help. Basic character traits hard to change but we can balance our chakra energy upwards. If my energies on each chakra are stronger than people I need to deal with in difficult situations then my general weak character ( non assertive. passive, non sociopathic) can be overcome by such strength inside( who cares about what people think of me anyway).

https://www.bemytravelmuse.com/solar-plexus-chakra/

"when the energy of the solar plexus chakra is out of alignment, common physiological cues include gastric or digestion issues like stomach pain, heartburn, acid reflux, nausea, ulcers, or a loss of appetite. More serious conditions like diabetes, hypoglycemia, and even eating disorders can link back to the solar plexus chakra, as well. Of course, this is a spiritual belief and does not replace the opinion of a trained doctor.

On an emotional scale, irresponsibility, an excessive need for control, victim mentality, and feelings of helplessness, insecurity or inauthenticity can be connected to this chakra"

Sagittarius

https://www.allure.com/story/sagittarius-zodiac-sign-personality-traits

The final fire sign of the zodiac, Sagittarius traits are unlike any other sign of the zodiac; they're totally unique to this brazen spirit. As a professional astrologer with almost 10 years of experience, I can honestly say that there is no zodiac sign like Sagittarius. What makes Sagittarius so unique is its dynamic blend of passion, curiosity, intensity, and adaptability. Represented by the archer (a half-man, half-horse centaur), Sagittarius isn't afraid to use its bow and arrow to explore expansive terrain, seeking answers in places and spaces others wouldn’t dare venture. Whether they're white water rafting down a river in some undisclosed location or taking a pilgrimage to a sacred site to uncover secrets about an ancient civilization, Sagittarius’ quest for knowledge knows no bounds.

Sagittarius is a mutable sign, meaning it is associated with adaptability and flexibility. This perfectly reflects the archers' deep-rooted desire for change. Sagittarians are born to explore and it is critical that these archers have the freedom to roam. (Sagittarius rules the thighs, so these archers are always on the move.) Fueled by wanderlust, these archers can be found traversing all corners of the world on thrill-seeking expeditions, chasing after geographical, intellectual, and spiritual adventures. Sagittarians are on a perpetual quest for knowledge, which makes them incredible storytellers, entertainers, and creatives. It's not all fun and games, however: Sagittarius is notorious for its signature bluntness, and their "brutal honesty" can often lead to misunderstandings, communication breakdowns, and lots of hurt feelings. But the good news? Sagittarius doesn't take anything too seriously, so it's hard to stay mad at these wild optimists.

Sagittarius' ruling planet is Jupiter, the planet of abundance. You know the expression "go big or go home?" Yeah, that’s basically Jupiter's motto. Jupiter is all about excess — it expands anything it touches. So, naturally, this sign demands to have it all. The word "enough" doesn't exist within this sign's vocabulary. When Sagittarius is intrigued by something — whether it's a Wikipedia blackhole or a newfound internet crush — they go all in. That is, until something else catches their eye. As a mutable sign, Sagittarius don't stay on any single fascination for too long; these archers have so many passions and interests, they’re constantly bouncing from one idea to the next! What's more, since 2020, the solar and lunar eclipses have been activating the Gemini-Sagittarius axis, so there's been tons of movement and transformation for this fiery sign. Be sure to check this month's Sagittarius horoscope for insight on Sagittarius' latest journey.

What is a Sagittarius known for?

This should come as no surprise: Celebrity Sagittarius like Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj, Britney Spears, and Jay-Z are all known for their larger-than-life spirits. Sags are captivating characters who can light up any room with their exhilarating tales, infectious laughter, and dynamic charm. Effortlessly magnetic, they easily attract friends and lovers with their innate humor. Sagittarius are definitely the comedians of the zodiac, who infuse all of their conversations with their signature "no bullshit" attitude. They're fun, playful, and extremely philosophical. They seamlessly weave stories, fusing topics ranging from quantum physics to 18th-century literature to modern-day celebrity pop culture. Why? Sagittarius is interested in absolutely everything. Their spirit is fueled by their passion for knowledge, so they relish the opportunity to become experts in… well, anything.

What are Sagittarius's weaknesses?

Of course, Sagittarians must remember to keep their sharp tongues in check. Though they know a lot, they don't know everything — and if they're not careful, they can come off as pretentious or arrogant. Sagittarius has no filter (like, actually, it doesn't exist), which is what makes this fire sign so incredibly funny, intelligent, and dynamic, but is also why they can end up scorching even their closest friends and family on a bad day. What's more, because of Sagittarius' insatiable wanderlust, it's hard for this sign to commit. Consistency is a challenge for these fiery archers, and — although it doesn't come from an ill-intentioned place — other zodiac signs may perceive Sagittarius as flakey and unreliable. To mitigate this, Sagittarius should make sure they don't over-promise, which will inevitably lead to under-delivering. Instead, Sagittarius should make sure they're being extremely transparent about their existing responsibilities so that others can manage their expectations accordingly.

Who should Sagittarius avoid?

Sagittarius can get along with any zodiac sign—so long as the other person gives them the space to roam. Whether they’re meandering through philosophical conversations or backpacking across distant terrain, Sagittarians are fueled by freedom. Of course, not all signs can tolerate Sagittarians' thrill-seeking spirit. Sagittarius's unpredictable nature may make grounded Earth signs—Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn — a bit uneasy. Similarly, the emotional water signs — Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces — might take Sagittarius's blunt commentary a bit too personally, resulting in lots of hurt feelings. Although Sagittarius can work with any zodiac sign, it must be extra careful with friends and lovers who could use a bit more empathy.

Who’s the best match for Sagittarius?

Romantically, Sagittarians are seeing a co-pilot: These adventurous lovers resent any boundaries, so constant motion is essential in any Sag relationship. If you are lucky enough to link up with one of these archers, be sure to buckle up and have your passport ready. Fellow fire signs — Aries and Leo — are attracted to Sagittarius' humor, wit, and fiery passion, so Sagittarius will often ignite connections with these dynamic spark plugs. The air signs — Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius — also fan Sagittarius' flame: The air signs are intellectual, social, and curious, so they find Sagittarius’ adventurous nature to be extremely attractive. When teaming up with this vivacious sign, be sure to buckle up. It's always a wild ride.

end quote

My moon is conjunct jupiter so I have a lot of this energy as it is jupiterian energy and my nodal axis is on sag gemini with lots of eclipse activation recently adding to that. So maybe I irritate quiet watery people. Otherwise being pisces myself fire signs get me uncomfy and people who have planets that are fiery like my moon with jupiter or in fiery signs like aries, sag, leo or just ascendant can disturb my pisces trance. One learns to live with all this however.

5 Books that Changed my Life

I identify wth her analysis of the book, Black boy, lack of identity, constantly moving. I find it very problematic that Margaret Aztwood and Rowlings having non PC thought have become unpersons to her generation. Older authors like Dickens, Shakespeare, Twain books should all be analyzed based on their political opinions on whatever cause de jure existed sometime in their old age of which they were critical. It is so easy for a twenty something to cancel their parents for being uncool. It sounds essentially like 60s hippies extreme self righteousness, " don' t trust anyone over 30". Talk about closed mindedness My kids are hard core atheists but I am not. I suppose I should be burned at the stake for heresy. Once these people become parents and their twelve year old child comes home saying they are going to have a sex change as their favorite teacher said so and a pop star did it and the parent has zero choice due to strict " freedom of choice" laws then their wisdom will seem very superficial and foolish.

Purple Haze

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xf29jf

Screen Addiction, Dopamine Fix , Porn, Celibacy, Loneliness

Before writing, stories were memorized !ong poems recited. Books isolated people but shared. Photos and film are similar. Internet and mobile internet go further. We used to play guitar or piano for friends but now we have ear plugs and everyone lives in own universe. Film was at first like theatr and then in the living room, a family matter. Now it is individual. Porn brings little pleasure. Relationships of whatever depth are much more satisfying. Porn establishes no rapport with audience. People have fan clubs for very famous porn stars just like sports, music, actors. Perhaps destigmatizing sexuality in such a sterile unnatural overbuilt environment is good, like beach nudism or similar. Things always swing too far in one direction then back. Statues in Rome get covered up and uncovered in succeeding generations. We all have emotional needs. Total suppression of drugs, sexuality, esoteric religious practices by archh conservative forces as in Muslim society now or Chinese leadership of CCP forces a cleansing perhaps of excess. Drunkenness on any stimulus is unbalanced. Sex, drugs, poetry, music, dance, trance states are tools. The goal is elsewhere. Corporations profit from booze, opioid, porn addiction as well as consumerism destroying habitat, occupying us unneccessarily in a rat race to keep up the joneses. New car, clothes, travel to show off. Status. I went to space. I have new levis. Schoolyard taunting.

Same old lang syne

Met my old lover in the grocery store

The snow was falling Christmas Eve
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve

She didn't recognize the face at first
But then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me, and she spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried

We took her groceries to the checkout stand
The food was totaled up and bagged
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
As the conversation dragged

Went to have ourselves a drink or two
But couldn't find an open bar
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store
And we drank it in her car

We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how

She said she'd married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would've liked to say she loved the man
But she didn't like to lie

I said the years had been a friend to her
And that her eyes were still as blue
But in those eyes, I wasn't sure if I
Saw doubt or gratitude

She said she saw me in the record stores
And that I must be doing well
I said the audience was heavenly
But the traveling was hell

We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how

We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to time
Reliving in our eloquence
Another auld lang syne

The beer was empty, and our tongues were tired
And running out of things to say
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
And I watched her drive away

Just for a moment, I was back at school
And felt that old familiar pain
And as I turned to make my way back home
The snow turned into rain

I like this 70s song better as a ballad than all too well. It is very positive. It seems general, could apply to anyone. Did everyone speculate on who she was when the song came out? Was he a superstar having a relationship with a famous actress or something? This is the. whole culture nowadays. We struggle through our 20s, 30s in direc straits glad to get through,. have job, any love life, career. Superstars live a life apart, privileged. Rest of us on the abyss edge, incels, addicts, overworked. A fantasy world of 50s- 70s normalcy is fun to hear though. But I like swift's singing, writing. I tried listening to a billie Eilish song for instance and wondered WTF, she can' t even sing, honestly. Better to hear rap, hip hop, indie music, country even.

Anti Gay law in Ghana

I wonder how it looks globally. Where are Western sanctions? Or is that just against oil producing competitors in strategic regions like Iran? Maybe a country could advocate heinous crimes as normal and be US supported but others get bombed to stone age for slight moral differences.
