As the above commentator remarked, we truly are more in “hospice stage.” With the population increases over time there is no way for actual representative government. Given the monetary policies, we have been in a slow death spiral for decades. Throw in the IT tools to collect & analyze gazillionbytes of data each moment, and we have the most disconnected society in history. The average person is so busy with trivia he doesn’t have the time or inclination to attend to the micro or macro elements in the world.

I have been trying to help parents see that the current mode of high school (for those not yet ready to homeschool) is to overwhelm child AND parents with time commitments. Sports & activities are demanding ridiculous amounts of after school time, more homework is being required, and so both parents & children are on a treadmill with no exit. For this chunk of the population, they are effectively removed from any real thinking about political & economic issues, beyond what media tells them. No time or energy.

This most impacts the “professional middle class family” who are the ones most capable of understanding & seeking to change the system. Obviously this is a generalization, but I believe it to be valid. I will be writing about these issues in the near future, including a brief overview of economic systems & money. It will take significant awakening to course-correct.

Oh yeah, before I forget: political party & “left-right” distinctions mean nothing anymore. They are all collectivist-globalist-power hungry morons. Elections have become a joke, and as much as I truly appreciate what Bobby Kennedy is seeking to do, I have serious doubts about his ability to arrive at the finish line alive. The beast won’t allow it ... and I HOPE & PRAY that I am WRONG!!!

These daze (sp. intentional) I find myself first scrolling down to your "moment of grounded/connected zen" pics as a mental palate cleanse to get into a parasympathetic state, and once again after perusing your info and analysis gatherings I dwell on it long enough to do some vagal tone repair.

Your blogside manner betrays your experienced skill as a physician who has learned how to buffer the news our fragile human hearts don't want to hear, but must if we are to take accountability and make decisions on our next step.

We are all on hospice at this point as your colleague Zach Bush MD says, and taking account & acceptance of where we are is the first step to allowing for miracles. Thanks again for what you do.
