IN OTHER WORLDS 10 D

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE IN OTHER WORLDS 10 D In 25 years I'll be 96 (more than likely, long since dead). My eldest child will 59, my eldest grand child 29, so it is. I've long wondered what will the future be like, no idea, actually no one knows, so it seems. Even 20 years ago I wrote a manifest as to what I saw happening in future, with no date certain, but as to what will/ could happen if humanity's direction were not changed, it hasn't. We are still on the same path, only moving faster, over the cliff. The elite may have a plan, but that plan is simply as unworkable as anything anyone else can produce ( or has). We are fast becoming a planet that is unable to support life as we know, and as many humans) as are alive today. It is not being alarmist, only being realistic and honest. It is easy, and simplistic, to hope that in the future everything will be fixed and all the problems will be solved, with more money. If the rich can keep getting richer the poor and the average person will have to suffer and pay the price. If we are to be honest, a million or ten of networth is no longer a whole lot in the US today when an average 3 bedroom house in a city is over a million. Whether "climate change", viral infections, hurricanes are natural or not their consequences are real. Whether one believes or not we are running out of clean water, arable land the fish stocks and basic minerals. Sooner or later we will be out of oil. Recycling and renewable energy are fools errands, not viable or sustainable and of not much practical use. Living in the US with plenty of open spaces and cheap lands many dream of living "off the grid", it is not realistic that our future generations can like the people did back two hundred years ago. Dream all you want. If one is a billionaire and has a private island or a thousand acres of land, Sooner or later they too will have to face the reality of a world without people, or harsh weather of growing crops and all else. Colonizing an other planet will not save the human race, even we could do such, that is hundreds of years away. This just the start. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N. R. 27 SEPTEMBER 2023

IN OTHER WORLDS 10 D

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE IN OTHER WORLDS 10 D There is a difference, whether we like it or not. When we "think" do we also consider the facts or the evidence that does not support our hypothesis? If not, then are we even thinking? We make excuses for our false beliefs, just as we do for our bad behaviors. Often. Let me step back and start over, when I was writing the last time, I had mentioned that we actually do not have a clear definition (or understanding) of the words that we use, such as human or murder, the list is long and not easy to follow even. No wonder we do not understand "truth" or "moral" those are easy, but what about "brain" or "conscious", so we fail, we try to apply words to things and situations where they do not make sense. And thus we misunderstand ourselves and we are misunderstood. Have you thought about what is "murder", or what is our definition of "human", what did you think? I would like to know, and discuss. Maybe you can "set me straight". We use "circular logic" more often than we know. We call immoral people moral when it suits us, we support corruption when it serves our aims, What is "real", what is a "brain"? Let's talk. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N. R. 13 SEPTEMBER 2023

IN OTHER WORLDS 10 C

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE IN OTHER WORLDS 10 C "ALL TRUTHS ARE BUT HALF TRUTHS" Kybalion " TRUTH IS, BUT A LIE WITH SOME PERMANENCE " M. N. R. Not just the"truth" though, we use language to communicate with each other, we also use language to tell lies. Sometimes we "lie" because the truth is not yet known to us, and sometimes we tell the truth, as know it, only to find out the information we had was actually wrong, so what is a lie, and what is the truth, not so easy to discern. But we were talking about " humans" as is what is a " human" when we are talking about "human rights". That makes it difficult, not because it is difficult to tell, but because we lie to ourselves when when we call ourselves "humans" in some sort of a way. Life is not so simple, they say, but again what is life? We really don't know. There is a lot that we don't know, actually, what is life? The language fails, years ago I was in a deep discussion. What is "murder"? No one can answer that, correctly, there are tons of words that we use that are meaningless in reality, And isn't reality itself a meaningless word, it is a concept, ask a hundred people and you get a hundred answers. We use words of which we don't know the meaning, take another phrase that many like to use, "abortion after birth", wouldn't that (shouldn't that) be a murder, but we don't know what murder is, right?

IN OTHER WORLDS 10 B

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE IN OTHER WORLDS 10 B I am not "religious " I am not "pious", I do have certain moral and character boundaries that "normally" choose not to cross. I am not highly educated, I only got my GED at 24, my Bachelors at 32 and a Master's at 38. I have also read/studied many other subjects from economics and finance to psychology and other sciences, I have read considerable amount of books on philosophy, physics and other subjects, history and politics too. I am not an " expert " on anything in particular. But here I am, I am full of opinions. ( mostly with some background). I spent 9 1/2 years on active duty and made E-7 in less than 9, I joined the reserves and finished my 20. I made E-8. I also joined civil service and retired before I was 57 years old. I have done well on my own also. So what am I going to talk about? The question about human rights, and what is a "human" to us. Let me step back and write the intro to the next Page in this series. "All truths are but half truths" I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N. R. 10 SEPTEMBER 2023

IN OTHER WORLDS 10 A

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE IN OTHER WORLDS 10 A This will probably become a long and drawn out dissertation, or a diatribe, depending upon your perception, understanding, or maybe your reality. Funny how things in life sometimes go around in circles. I have certain ways of doing things, saying things, not always, but most of the time, that may change, one day, or not. I hope you will read, and follow along, for a while atleast, I'll try to keep this conversation stimulating and interesting, depending on how you feel, and also on your own thoughts and concepts. You find my writing desultory , but stay, and comment if you like, it will take a few days or longer even to get to the point, that there is no point after all. That is actually not the point, I had posted earlier that, "Reality is, whatever you imagine it to be" M. N. R. Why did I say that, in a discussion on a previous post, someone had commented about "human rights" while at the same time implying ( not clearly stating though) that some humans are different than others. Who am I to judge? I am keeping this one really short, kind of an intro to further discussion, may be even in a few minutes. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON M. N. R. 10 SEPTEMBER 2023
