Sometimes I think maybe some people deserve CBDCs & 15min cities...
I'll keep trying to wake them up, but a lot of people seem like they actually want to be slaves.

Yeh man, that’s where I’m at on the situation. It’s sobering.
Most people are essentially programmed by culture. I think we need to focus there.
We’re starting our own global culture, and I think that’s heartening.
They do want to to be slaves. It's comfy being taken care of like an animal, free from thought or responsibility.
That’s the hero’s dilemma.
The greatest man that ever lived saved the world and they still nailed him to a tree.
Literal true story or not it’s still a powerful metaphor.
We are deathly afraid of our comfort being taken away. It guides our food and fasting choices, our political allegiances, our willingness to admit our system is jacked up, our war cheerleading etc.
The only way out is to embrace discomfort for the sake of truth and health. Like the rich ruler who was asked by Jesus to give up all he had, we have to be willing to give it all up. Or we can be spineless, slobby bootlickers.
They do. “Do not cast your pearls before swine”
Most do. And no one will ever sway them.
I was frustrated also until I read Atlas Shrugged and then the unthinkable was revealed to me… they actually do want to be slaves. or in Ayn Rand’s words, they are not interested in ‘living’.
They do not want the responsibility that comes with ‘thinking’ and ‘living’. They want someone, anyone else to take that responsibility and in so doing they abdicate their responsibility, their thinking, their very life.
In essence, they’ve accepted the devil’s terms, they’ve sold their soul in order to resolve themselves if the responsibility that comes with having one.
