epic poverty fail

listened to the new worst bestsellers episode about that colleen hoover book "it ends with us" today and i knew a lot about it but. i did NOT know there's a scene where the protagonist talks to her unhoused boyfriend who's been neglected by his abusive mother and is stuck in the cycle of poverty because all of the systems in the american government fail him and we have no social safety net or means for breaking out of it and his solution is to join the military and she asks how he could serve a country that's failed him so spectacularly and he just goes "it's not the country's fault my mother doesn't give a shit about me" like it's some wise truth epic comeback moment. and btw the book's explanation for the mc's husband (another guy entirely) being abusive is partially bc HE was in the military and was traumatized by it.

epic poverty fail every time I have to get gas now a days

like supergirl is just military propaganda and arrow and fkash continously talking about the poor police getting attacked every other time boohoo while the cities tear themselves apart over poverty issues created closely by the protagonists ascendancy like..... dude.... come on..... what is heroism if not finding the roots and ending the problems for all otherwise you are exactly a cop, creating issues and keeping the machine alive to continue amassing material wealth for the sake of suffering that can inflate someone's ego and sense of superiority for being born into it like you know what sucks about the state of superhero media is how they shit on the epic stories and all it entails like oral tradition, participation in society, the chance to exist in the conversation of defining heroism, like the chance to question the morality of the hero and how that echoes wider in the making of a society, this media can barely reckon with itself let alone the image its trying to make society into being and failing to understand its responsibility like i have had it with the dismissal of kids media when this shit is mainstream and supplanting the roles of epic stories in society like that's all we do as societies we replace things that fulfill fundamental parts of us into new and shiny forms and like that's never bad it's just that we do it so carelessly we don't really think of what we're saying, commendably but thoughtlessly we want to participate without thinking of the impact and reach and the purpose of the original message of that which is adapted to new audiences, like these stories echo the morals that are distilled from an understanding of society, i hear people talk about euphoria or nabokov's lolita as sth that indeed touches upon reality like no others do, as if, so like again, stories like that being received like they are, do represent sth of society and so do so many stories, doesn't it mean that when it is not all fun, and even so isn't there a responsibility to understand the ramifications of a whole something better done with an understanding of the history of our art form and the reason of its being so that we can better understand its impact, like are artists so arrogant as to really think they are not building on a tradition and thus capable of having the reach and power to shape history and life as it is now, like are artists so arrogant to forget the very language they speak is owed to others, is there no reverence to the conversations of society and our art representing us for the ages like is it really just the state feeding shit and people taking it at face value, denying it, abusing it, no conscious to speak of like........

11 November 2022: Queen Rania urged the international community to embrace a paradigm shift in its response to the world’s multiplying crises, calling on all stakeholders to “treat this moment like the shake-up it is.”

Speaking at the fifth edition of the Paris Peace Forum, she noted that the world is facing “a convergence of crises,” including the COVID-19 pandemic, war in Ukraine, climate change, inequality, and a general erosion of trust. “Yet, too often, we are failing to meet our common threats with a spirit of common cause,” she said.

“Our world is off-balance; simply trying to keep things steady is not enough,” Her Majesty stressed, calling for four critical realignments in humanity’s approach to shared challenges:  “Renewing our faith in truth, recognizing that we all have equal worth, safeguarding the future, and believing in our ability to remake the world as we wish it could be.”

Expanding on the first measure, the Queen underscored the importance of speaking the truth and following up words with real action. “Honesty is the foundation of trust, but words are not enough. Cynicism flourishes in the gap between words and deeds,” she said. 

Citing the world’s response to climate change as an example, Her Majesty highlighted the “chasm between promises and policies,” noting the stark contrast between pledges made as part of the 2015 Paris Agreement to prevent global temperatures from rising, and recent UN climate report findings, which estimate that “temperatures will rise a full degree past safe conditions.”

“It’s too late for wish lists,” Queen Rania cautioned. “We need binding to-do lists to save both our credibility and our planet.” (Source: Petra)

Moving on to the second realignment of the paradigm shift, Her Majesty emphasized the importance of honoring our common humanity, particularly with regards to refugee populations. “Self-sufficiency is an illusion,” she said. “Until we embrace the reality of our connectedness, we’ll continue to bear the worst of its consequences.”

The Queen explained that the global refugee crisis has reached “epic proportions” with the number of displaced people around the world now exceeding 100 million, equal to “one-and-a-half times the population of France.” She also highlighted the difference in reception of refugees from Ukraine to those from countries such as Syria, Myanmar, and South Sudan, who had also been driven from their homes.

“What accounts for the contrast in compassion? Does skin color make all the difference?” she asked. “Too often, the barrier isn’t budgets. It’s bigotry and bias.”

Elaborating on the third aspect of the paradigm shift, the Queen stated “we have to act in the service of future generations,” clarifying that our choices will directly impact those who will inherit our legacy, even if we will never meet them in our lifetimes.

“Our job is to be good stewards of our time,” she said. “What matters is not the next election, or the next financial quarter, or the next generation of smartphones. What matters is doing right by the next generation of humanity.”

Reaching the paradigm shift’s final necessary realignment, Her Majesty made clear the need for “renewing hope and confidence in ourselves.”

“Despite the multi-crises we face, humanity has made enormous progress,” she reflected, relaying that, over the past few decades, one billion people have risen out of extreme poverty, infant mortality has fallen by more than half, and more children are attending school and less are going hungry.

“It’s not just technology that’s enabled these wins,” the Queen continued. “It’s collaboration and trust. The instinct to help. The goodness that resides in human hearts.”

Explaining that hope resides in our ability to believe that things can improve, Queen Rania encouraged the audience to resist complacency and try to anticipate crises earlier,  “so that we can fix problems before they become perils, and prevent tomorrow’s crises before they start,” she said.

Launched in 2018, the Paris Peace Forum convenes yearly with the aim of contributing to bridging the governance gap by bringing together multiple stakeholders to advance concrete solutions to global problems where none exist. The annual event is often attended by public and private organizations from around the world that present their governance projects to global leaders, elected officials, experts, and other stakeholders.

"Lady Parts." From the Chandogya Upanishad, the Exploration of the Mysteries of the Priesthood.

Chapter VIII − The Five Fires (V)

1 "Woman, O Gautama, is the fire, her sexual organ is the fuel, what invites is the smoke, the vulva is the flame, what is done inside is the embers, the pleasures are the sparks.

2 "In this fire the gods offer semen as libation. Out of that offering the foetus is formed."

I don’t know anything about lady parts, so I will simply say this is the part where the Teacher explains where babies come from to His Students.

Chapter IX − Birth and Death

1 "Thus in the fifth libation water comes to be called man. The foetus enclosed in the membrane, having lain inside for ten or nine months, or more or less, is born.

2 "Having been born, he lives whatever the length of his life may be. When he is dead, they carry him to the fire of the funeral pyre whence he came, whence he arose."

There is nothing remarkable about Birth and Death is there? Notice what is missing: there are no indications or hints about reincarnation, life after death, heaven, hell…no higher planes of consciousness, no space ships or other planets were our loved ones await.

This is it.

Chapter X − The Various Paths followed after Death

1−2  "Those who know this and those who, dwelling in the forest, practise faith and austerities go to light, from light to day, from day to the bright half of the moon, from the bright half of the

moon to the six months during which the sun goes to the north, from those months to the year, from the year to the sun, from the sun to the moon, from the moon to lightning. There a person who is not a human being meets him and leads him to Brahman (the Great Soul). This is the Path of the Gods (Devayana).

3 "But those who, living in the village, perform sacrifices, undertake works of public utility and give alms go to smoke, from smoke to night, from night to the dark half of the moon, from the dark half of the moon to the six months during which the sun goes to the south. But they do not reach the year.

4 "From those months they go to the World of the Manes (the wealthy, the corrupt), from the world of the Manes to the akasa, from the akasa (sky) to the moon (the mind). This is King Soma (intoxication). They are the food of the gods.

Them the gods eat.

5−6 "Having dwelt there in the lunar world till their good works are consumed, they return again the same way they came. They first reach the akasa and from the akasa the air. Having become air, they become smoke; having become smoke, they become mist;

"Having become mist, they become cloud; having become cloud, they fall as rain−water.

Then they are born as rice and barley, herbs and trees, sesamum and beans. Thence the exit is most difficult; for whoever capable of begetting children eats that food and injects semen, they become like unto him.

7 "Those whose conduct here on earth has been good will quickly attain some good birth−birth as a brahmin (landowner), birth as a kshatriya (soldier), or birth as a vaisya (merchant). But those whose conduct here has been evil will quickly attain some evil birth−birth as a dog, birth as a pig, or birth as a chandala (criminal outcaste).

Still, no real comments about the afterlife here. How you live determines what happens to you during your life.

This doesn’t mean the poor and starving deserve to live that way, it means we tolerate their suffering from the point of view of someone living in luxury.

As virtuous a life as this may be, and no doubt there are very wealthy virtuous persons, as a human culture, we fail to achieve anything remotely deserving more life. We are an epic fail.

Let’s pretend one of us gets to stand before God when we die, and he says, “Tell me about life on earth.”

What do you think He would do when you got to these details:

“We had two world wars, invented mass killing techniques, perfected torture, poverty, destroyed 95% of the living things that we found living here, we dropped over 3,000 nuclear warheads into the oceans and boiled them free of anything beautiful and sacred, we elected losers and liars and hypocrites concerned with abortions instead of progress, fantasy and fiction instead of reality into political office and overpopulated the earth till it suffocated and drowned.”

What would God say “Well that is FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC!”

Or would He say “You disgust me.”

?

You would say “But I didn’t have anything to do with it! I prayed, I dunked my head, I drank the blood, got washed in the blood…”

God would say “You were there…the whole time, and that’s what you did? Look at what thy idle, evil hands have wrought.”
