Hooked On Survival, The Origin Of Psychosis Is NO Enigma

Competition for all the wrong things… usually for the worse…

Wehave often stated that science as we know it will soon find itself at an impasse. Here is another piece of evidence illustrating our position: a profit-driven system is more geared toward control because of the very nature of money. While poor and middle-class people focus on making it to the next month, the rich are always preoccupied with their holdings and asset consolidation.

The consequence of earning money induces the need to continually protect oneself one way or another and forces cognitive functions to remain in “flight or fight” mode because refusing competition is not an option. Studies on the side effects of stress abound, and today, we all know that stress is a severe health hazard.

So why are we continuing to endorse competition? Why are paranoia and schizophrenia more common in cities?

It sounds really counter-productive to us. We struggle to make ends meet and commit collective suicide in the meantime.

Although The Atlantic's article pondering the origins of ‘Urban Psychosis’ could initiate a real debate, its reasoning is flawed as it avoids the real bottom line. The article reads: To many, this provides evidence that cities are universally bad for our mental health—something that chimes with a strong cultural belief that associates the natural world with tranquility.

People are lured into moving to cities with the hope of increasing their income. Cities, as we know them, are just mirrors of a faulty premise. Competition causes emotional imbalances, and in cities, competition is even more out of whack.

Our societal structure itself is in its final stage.

Paying to have the right to live is the ultimate aberration. When people live under the threat of losing their livelihoods, profits are more likely to be redirected toward projects that cannot support the betterment of humankind. Such a framework will also be more geared toward managing control by or for the very few.

It is simply impossible to do good using money, and when that happens, countertrends immediately set in to void such effects. This is why humanitarianism does not work. We definitely recommend this link released by Yes Magazine: The Disaster of Philanthropy and Capitalism.

Regardless of where the funds are coming from, the latter creates resentment among people in need while fueling corruption. Of course, capitalist Wallstreet is very well aware of this.

Despite all the good intentions out there, we’ll have to let go of the current system. It will unravel and no matter how ‘prepared’ we think we are we will still have the duty to help our fellow neighbors when the time has come.

And this alone tells us that all our actions must favor the collective.

Sadly, socialist premises are still promoted because people intuitively know that the greater good is more important, though the fact is that as long as competition does exist, socialism will remain a dangerous and misguided ideology.

A money-free system is not socialism, nonetheless, because for it to be workable, it has to be completely decentralized and benevolent, which is the opposite of socialism.

So, we definitely have a significant issue to deal with, as our social structure, designed by special interests, has ensured that we remain hooked on survival as if there is no other choice.

Technology will not save humanity unless defunded and offers absolute freedom of choice.

In this sense, AI is entirely inimical to our destiny as a species.

We have to keep the right for ourselves to upgrade our machines until humanity has attained sufficient knowledge levels to decide whether AI is really needed. It is ludicrous to expect General Intelligence to save the day as long as war is not abolished first. At the pace we evolving, that could take a few centuries…

Right now, we are being prepared to accept the need for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) vaccine certificates and climate lockdowns.

World stock exchanges have turned science into a monopoly. Even more alarming, experts ponder things like ultraviolet germicidal irradiation. Science obviously neglects the fact that every living organism has its place in our biosphere. In the meantime, millions of gallons of antibacterial products have dramatically increased the pollution levels of our soils, rivers, and oceans. Not to mention the billions of masks and gloves finding their way into the environment, too, over time. There always seems to be enough money to fund insanities like this.

It is time to address all these paradoxes, which highlight that our society is increasingly becoming unstable. The origins of societal psychosis are no enigma, folks!

FURTHER READINGS:

“I want to redefine Darwinian theory. It is not the survival of the fittest. It is the extension of the generosity of surplus to other members of the ecological community to build biodiversity. So it’s not the individual that survives, it’s the community that cooperates that survives.”
