I am curious why the need to label the US as a tyrannical government? All governments have lean toward tyranny, as those in and or seek power, salivate of greed. Now the the US may be the biggest world power ever to have existed, and there by its actions have a larger span of repercussions, but it’s by far less tyrannical than other places. Of course it is by no means innocent, many time the US has made terrible decisions and veered into nefarious paths. Nevertheless, it still allows much more “freedom” to its citizens. There’s a reason you don’t hear about much protesting in China. There’s a reason why thousands of people in Russia just “disappear”: artists, musicians, idealist, all just gone. I just feel to use the USA as an example comes from a bias when it’s transgressions should be lumped into the whole of the hooman condition.

Segway, and the hooman condition is generals void of wisdom. 😝

To put it succinctly, wisdom comes only from experience. Or if you believe in some for of diety, or higher power etc. The current world has never had access to more information. Our collective intellectual prowess is staggering. My phone alone has access to more information than entire world did just 50 years ago. Add to this equation, think tanks, AI etc. yet all this intellectual yet wisdom is rare. As I read recently a funny YouTube community about the debate between iPhone and android: ‘it’s literally two people arguing about something that comes in a box’. The hooman condition is void of wisdom. You may want to live a peaceful life, but others won’t. We are all drawn into the conflict. We must be wise, seek wisdom. Revolutions are often the worst thing. The bring chaos and death and suffering. Yet, nothing changes because those that want the same will sit idly in the background and resume once the violence settles. Wisedom peers into the future and warns the consequences of harsh or hasty actions.

As related to the ‘mr.freeze’ section. Knowing and understanding why someone would do something terrible is in my opinion, almost worthless. The storyline is become a trope. Good guy turns bad because terrible circumstances “require” him to. It’s sad ideology that has terrible repercussions. Maybe Mr.freeze did get dealt a terrible hand but does he have the right to destroy the cards of others? It’s a situation everyone will be faced with in someway. This is where wisdom is needed. Mr.freeze could have went a different path. His path took him into violent conflict because his greed. The twisted judgement to openly harm others because ones Benevolent goal is the very antithesis of wisdom. It’s a lesson in wisdom Mr.freeze would likely learn only after many more painful experiences.

You see this brings up something else I firmly believe in.

“That choice is irrelevant of context.”

PS wonderful article as cope. It’s so rare to see such unbiased thinking and level headedness. I just thought of another quote as I wrote this.

“Sit on the fence of any subject and be at the highest point between opinions and have the best view of both.”
