The friendly voice we are used to—on TV; on the radio; even on the internet—is not very friendly; it doesn’t like its spouse or doesn’t have one; it doesn’t like its children; or doesn’t have any; it is very sarcastic and is strangely holier than thou.
This voice, however, is very influential. This voice that is decidedly dysfunctional and not viable largely determines our psyche. We have all become sarcastic or aggressive or yell at each other or are paranoid cool—not actual cool.
As a society, we have gotten to the point where almost any information accessible is very tempered with dangers and warnings or problems or disdain. Whether it’s food or alcohol or even information on anything on the internet. It is 90% problems and 10% substance. Almost anything you inquire about or someone confronts you with.
Why would our friends want control and power to win? Allegedly it is an equal distribution of power—to match a disproportionate distribution of power. But these friends seem to want to except power not be empowered. And no one is really asking is power even the right focus. Is the answer more power? Is the answer more of the same? Or is, perhaps, power the problem I ask. There is what seems to be an obvious back door to control and limitations as opposed to liberation.
This problem orientation and power solution orientation I think is eventually or actually a dominance of some kind; an actually violent orientation, I posit.
