Free Will

I love this:



'It is certainly not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable: it is with precisely this charm that it entices subtler minds. It seems that the hundreds of times refuted theory of "free will" owes its continued existence to this charm alone - : again and again there comes along someone who feels he is strong enough to refute it.'

The Coming of Wisdom with Time



Though leaves are many, the root is one;

Through all the lying days of my youth

I swayed my leaves and flowers in the sun

Now I may wither into the truth.



William Butler Yeats

Just a season, but it lives on

Hippies

"But if you’re really bitter and shortsighted, you could say the entire hippie movement overall was just incredibly overrated, gets far too much cultural credit for far too little actual impact, was pretty much a giant excuse to slack off and enjoy dirty lazy responsibility-free sex romps and do a ton of drugs and avoid Vietnam and not bathe for a month and name your child Sunflower or Shiva Moon or Chakra Lennon Sapphire Bumblebee. This is what’s called the REACTIONARY SIMPLETON’S view. It blithely ignores history, perspective, the evolution of culture as a whole. You know, just like America."

Worth a look.  All the scandals in one place

I believe that the Governments in a lot of countries are so right wing that they amount to renegade organizations that are working on the side of financial organizations, this is happening in my home city of Christchurch and all over New Zealand as well. They are no longer on the side of the common people.

As said in the article we are all becoming serfs to the landed gentry.
