i became dimly aware of something being wrong with the world at the age of 12 or so,1988.
my mother studied psychology as a minor subject in her art degree and shared a lot of what she learned with me, and my father was following the conspiracy theory stuff about CFR, club of rome, eugenics, etc
i probably was primed to recognise it by these two things, and the fact that i'm a mixed blood, high IQ and social outcast
i am closing on 50 now but i still have a sympathy for the kids whenever they turn their attention to me and usually they have great respect for my ability to grasp what is important in their messages to me
i think that you might say that what has happened to these young people is that the majority of them are on some kind of margin now where when i grew up the majority were in the majority
there is some really messed up stuff going on in our society right now, that is reaching a crescendo and i don't think it can go much further without a wave pushing back in the opposite direction
