Introduction
Most of my neoTerra posts are concerned, in one manner or another, with sustainability.
A decade ago, (in the good old days) I was focused on sustainable design and sustainable living. I suppose I was taking responsibility for my lifestyle.
Over the last two years my focus has shifted and my posts are concerned with preserving individuality, liberty and self-reliance. Most of my posts have been related to contemporary events since there are powerful forces promoting the Boogeymen Of Doom to keep us distracted and keep us in fear. neoterra.us/blog/a-new-direction-sustaining-liberty
To me, it seems that this assault on freedom and the destruction of middle-class prosperity is intentional. For 99% of human history we have been ruled by elites... by Pharaohs, Kings, Emperors, Dictators or Commissars. For 99% of human history we have been slaves, serfs or sheep.
Freedom, self-determination and prosperity are historical anomalies. A few hundred years in Athens and Sparta. A few hundred years in the Roman Republic. 200 years in America.
Coincidentally, in each of these anomalies, the citizens were armed and the government was subservient to the citizens (perhaps that isn't a coincidence). This was particularly true in ancient Sparta and it should be no surprise that our founders symbolically embraced classic Greek architecture and enacted the 2nd Amendment.
Perhaps I'm Just Paranoid
I believe the Climate Hoax, the COVID Scamdemic, and the impending global food shortage are all intentional efforts to pummel us into acceptance of a new, global elite aristocracy.
That said, today I'm starting a new segment/topic which is more philosophical or, perhaps, more introspective than current political developments. I am calling it "Random Thoughts" so you may easily skip over it if it's not of interest.
So, if I'm being introspective, there are questions to consider:
I suspect that most of you are Conservative or embrace traditional values. If so, you're probably wondering why I'm troubling myself with questions that seem to have obvious answers...
My reply is simple... the answers are NOT obvious when:
Conclusion (For Today)
Something is very wrong.
Views that I consider to be obviously wrong are being celebrated as freedom and justice by millions. I find myself at a point where I have to step back and get some perspective of this epic polarization.
I think that taking some time to question and clarify what I believe, is the only way to solidify my thoughts and the only way I can then challenge the assault on my view of society and life.
I have been hesitant to start this segment since I am not a philosopher... though I have read a good deal of philosophy. I am not a psychologist... though I have read a lot of psychology. I am not an economist... though I've read a lot on both Capitalism and Socialism.
In other words, I have no credentials to write Random Thoughts... but I'm going to write anyway.
It will be random, and I hope you get some enjoyment from my mental meanderings.

So, if I'm being introspective, there are questions to consider:
- Why should I cling to individuality? Is individuality nothing more than selfish disobedience?
- Why should I reject the utopian vision of a world where I would own nothing but be happy?
- Why should I reject a world where Soma and Zolo can give me chemical contentment and excitement?
- Why should I reject a world where promiscuity replaces commitment. Perhaps sex is just a commodity like fast food (recall the 1960's) and, perhaps, love is just a salty condiment that's bad for your health.
I suspect that most of you are Conservative or embrace traditional values. If so, you're probably wondering why I'm troubling myself with questions that seem to have obvious answers...
My reply is simple... the answers are NOT obvious when:
- 80 million people voted for Joe Biden.
- 80 million people voted for a war on energy and the destruction of prosperity.
- We now live in a world where Public Schools fail to teach basic literacy but feel it's important to host Drag Queen shows for 6 -year olds
- Our military is more concerned with pronouns and color than actual fighting.
- Young girls, barely into puberty, are encouraged to take puberty blockers and get 'top' surgery.
- Violent crime goes unpunished while standing up for your rights can get you arrested.
