Just read it i u want to
The change it is in oneself
Hi, I'm basically no one or someone that can tell you what's going in the world right now... Well I can tho, violence, lack of education, pollution and climate crisis, mistreat to all and all of us, and the list goes and goes further. I mean I just did it, I just mention some of the issues of our society and I’m just a common person, I can't go deeper in this problems cause I don't know much of them but some people do and they are pretty common too, and they blame a lot of people and say a principal cause of what they society is "fucked" (that sounds kind of rude, doesn't it?) some people say the internet is the major factor others that "God" is not in their lives and also others that society is on a rapid downfall or even freefall event, other some that society have lost it sanity or it faith or it intelligence (I mean if society have lost it intelligence you wouldn't make that kind of comments, would you?). Sounds like disaster, people blaming on everything and everyone from everything and everyone also blaming them cause if you blame society your blaming you cause you are part of it and blaming literally everyone, cause everyone is part of our society, so the scenario it's people blaming the entire society for problems or things that some groups of people might haven't met or think about those things. Beside you are religious or if you use Internet or not despite you have any impediment or just if you haven't seen those things. Such a messy world.
An example to make clearer the situation. Imagine that you are a villager around somewhere, you have a family, you have friends who live a couple of kilometers from where you live, you have some ways to communicate worldwide not all of them (pretty much news) you don’t have social media, but you're happy. On a day like any other you are going to hunt an animal to have food but you meet some activist who fight against animal mistreat and they ask you and beg you not to do it because for people like you animals have lost rights and died in a horrible way, you say that you have to feed your family and they tell you that are options in the supermarket a company in where animals die without any kind of violence, abuse or mistreat, you say “ok I'm going to give a chance, to change”, you take a portion of your time to travel far away but the closest supermarket around your area, you get inside, get the exact brand, paid, walk out from the supermarket while an activist of climate change stop you and gives you an information, the company that manufacture that meat does it without any violence or abuse but the animals can only be within a certain area doing irreparable damage to the ground in addition to the fact that the level of greenhouse gases emissions is enormous and she asks you try to do something else because for people like you who still choosing these kinds of products, the environment it's not gonna change, but being vegetarian it's not an option, some vegetables and meat substitutes are pretty expensive in your region. So you are confuse, you feel bad, you don't have as good information as you could get. What would you do? Which is the bad option here? Where is the evil option here? It is buying the meat you need and directly promoted pollution, or just killing the dear without mercy, or just buying expensive alternatives until your money runs out, or just stop eating???
Being unaware it's not being ignorant, like the example I just said, there are lot more of them, like something recent from years now, let's mention the climate crisis debate. The information is real. right now China is the biggest greenhouse gases emitter with 16.2 percent of global methane emissions (around 1.6 billion tons), 14.5 of N2O emissions (around 410 million tons) in 2018 and right now China must be producing around 30% of global C2O emissions, having and counting information of 2017 in which China produced 9.8 billion metric tons of C2O. so having that in count blame should go on China despite the US being in second place India in third Russia in fourth, etc. and of course being much more less emissions than China, but we are not seeing the whole picture, historically the U.S is on the top with more than 400 billion tons of C2O and is responsible for 25% historical emissions and right behind is the European union with 22% is about double China's historically gases emissions and digging more deeper the emissions of the U.S were more drastically in the XX century along with the European Union and this made them very rich and develop countries, so within they can cost the expensive alternatives and stop burning fossil fuel and stop emitting other gases, and the other countries don't have another way to avoid poverty but burn fossil fuel and start more emission, like the case of China, China's emissions rise drastically in this few years but it poverty levels also drastically decrease in a shocking way and for some countries their emissions could be just lifestyle emissions like going to hang in a car and for other life important emissions. Of course covid 19 effects reduce this emission, but covid wasn’t threatening us years ago, So knowing these facts is worth to find someone to blame? Is China bad? Is the U.S bad? is worth to blame someone about it in this big society?
Blaming can be discussing and obviously discuss it worth too, but in this big society with a lot of epistemic groups along with it, it is? Let me gather this topic, when we talk about epistemic communities we are referring to communities, of course I’m not referring to the large international scale ones, is a group of people, can be large, small, very large, very small, that thinks, search or aim some ideas of home and some other related topics, and gets information in the same relative way, for example, this example is more about internal relationships and authority but it can let you get the idea in your mind better. a mother tells her child that there is some eggs in the fridge the child may (must) believe it but an uncle or aunt may be more difficult, now imagine a cousin and know even a stranger, levels of confidence differ by epistemic group, another examples, some tourist come to your countries and talks about your Independence Day, or some religious people knocking your door and give some talk, the level of testimony must be more higher than someone from your epistemic community because the level of testimony from someone from your epistemic community is relative as the same way that you get information so it's easier for someone from your epistemic group transmit knowledge than someone from outside. And also that means that all epistemic groups don't have the same evidence they always are goanna lack in some facts for example non-religious people or people unaware of an Ebola outbreak and it's ok there is nothing bad with it and that's why blaming all society for an issue or another is stupid.
So how can we help, I mean is that the right word? Does really everyone want to help the whole society. You know, I think society works as a clock, with along 8 billion engines, some engines being in the opposite direction, some others need some oil, etc. and when you ask, request, a society change the difficult part it's that i can't check 8 billion engines to see which one might need oil and I can't just replace it, unless you can tell me where I can buy a freaking 8 billion engines clock. It would be easier if every single engine could have conscious and correct itself, like a person, and for that I'm glad that society is made out people and no freaking engines because people have the ability to adapt and that is awesome, make a change for the goal to make things better. The change it is in oneself, a lot, but I really mean a lot people said that is incorrect, congrats, you are wrong, the phrase is correct I think is not really working cause is bad formulated.
To make things spicier from here, remember if you don't take that phrase seriously you aren't a better person, congrats your part of the problem about everyone is blaming on everything and everyone requesting a whole change. Whole change, it is really correct? the basis is "let’s do some change together as a society" yeah not gonna work, an 8 billion group session therapy for change is not goanna make the trick, all the society can't make the same change for the same good lead by the simple fact that all people are completely different from another In uncountable ways, everyone needs different goods different changes and that's ok, that's why you have to change depending on what you could do better. And right you might begin defending yourself "nooo but I'm being good" and you know I can trust, but I don't care, the one who cares should be you, ask yourself if you are lying to yourself because the smallest action like ignoring a red light (and you know there are other much more common and much more worst) and then careering about the phrase “the change it is in oneself, wow that is like the biggest example of double moral is ever gonna be. It not worth it for being a good person, but for being a person.
You might be thinking this is utopia, I'm not trying to achieve that, utopia is perfect and humans are not, there is phrase that says, “humans are perfectly imperfect, like the phrase itself”. Actually there is an experiment "mice utopia" which tries to achieve this, a utopia for mice, unlimited resources but limited space, even though in real life we don't have unlimited resources, in the end the experiment went pretty bad and yes obviously I can't compare humans with mice but what I'm trying to say is that if with mice went to basically through hell imagine it with so complex humans’ beings, mice are basic, you can't have denied that. What I’m trying achieve is not utopia but awareness, conscious.
So, change for make things better, why? Why would you do that, I can leave a reason, do it for you, love yourself, for your world, and that is the things you love, your planet, your pets, whatever, the ones you love, your friends, your lovers, just you, make your world better without harming anyone, is possible.
So the change it is in oneself, yes... If you stop hugging a victim role... If you stop doing the less... If you stop thinking that you can't do anything by yourself. I hope you do so. Thanks.
