So sad what is happening with our British friends across the pond, though we can hardly gloat on the western banks of the Atlantic. We must push back on the infringements on our basic freedoms while we still can.
The danger of not having a written constitution that enshrines separation of powers, with a Supreme Court able to invalidate Acts of Parliament.
England has made many contributions to modern democracy but allowing Parliament to have absolute power leaves individual liberties at the mercy of the common decency of MPs.
Interesting ideas and fears about so-called freedom during an era when neuroscience revelations about the unseen reality of being human suggest that we are 'not' as conscious of reality, as we pretend to be. As evidenced by our knee-jerk tendency to blame and shame 'as-if' the accused are as conscious of their motivation as we are?
In my opinion, its sad the way conservatively minded Christians don't take their Socraticly minded Savior seriously by contemplating what he meant by "forgive them for they know not what they do."
A comment on the problematic nature of the human condition that was echoed by Carl Jung’s "until you make the subconscious conscious it will direct your life and you will call it fate."
Which begs the question of thought leaders like your good self, Ayaan, "how conscious are you?"
How much do you "seeing, see not, hearing, hear not," and do you really understand your own reality or like all human beings are you confused by your autobiographical memory sense-of-self and reality?
Would true restoration be the sentient sense-of-reality we are born with, as the Kingdom of God, aka Creation, within?
Why do experienced Gestalt therapist's say "sometimes you gotta lose your mind, to recover your senses?"
Simply put, the semi-conscious nature of human behavior is the elephant in the room of 21st-century humanity. As a species that walks and talks we assume that our ability to name whatever we see makes us conscious of reality, yet no human being can explain 'how' we walk and talk, only describe 'what' we do with words associated with the surface level of reality our eyes see.
Hence the Nazarene's teaching of parables about our generationally confused understanding of the nature of language and reality, because in truth we know almost nothing about our own reality.
The question of 'how' conscious we are can be realized by simply wiggling your fingers and 'noticing' that this synchronous motion occurs without instruction from your conscious mind, while neuroscience tells us that at least 95% of our reality cannot cross the threshold of conscious awareness.
Which suggests that Greta Thornburg hit the nail on the head with her blah, blah, blah, condemnation of our semi-conscious talking head inability to tackle the mounting problems of humanity’s own making.
