Reading a new book on Chomsky and Mujica written by Saul Alvidarez and found this
"Being merely a subject of production and consumption with a bank account kills the soul of anyone."
Is this what we are?

Have a look at the ancient tale of the Condor and Eagle …. We keep struggling with the same thing over and over
The Legend of the Condor and the Eagle is an ancient tale from indigenous cultures in the Americas. It tells of two majestic birds, the Condor and the Eagle, each representing different qualities: the Condor symbolizes spirituality, deep wisdom, and a strong connection to nature, while the Eagle represents the power of the mind, technology, and vision.
According to the legend, these two birds once flew separately, symbolizing different paths and ways of life. However, the story foretells that in a time of great challenge, the Condor and the Eagle would come together and fly as one. This union would bring about a new era of harmony, combining the spiritual depth of the Condor with the mental strength and foresight of the Eagle.
The legend serves as a reminder to balance these qualities—spirituality and wisdom with intellect and technology—and work together to create a harmonious future, respecting both the natural world and human innovation.

I agree there is not absolute freedom but I feel there is a ‘state’ which allows us to see more choices and paths ahead of us …. Feeling at a crossroad in my life and trying to push myself. Will research more

There is only one life and it ends. You have to give meaning to it. Fight for happiness, not just for wealth.

You’re free when you escape the law of necessity — when you spend the time of your life on what you desire. If your needs multiply, you spend your life covering those needs.

I would not deny climate science …
Btw 800 million year ago there was another period when temperature rose because of high co2 emission from vulcanic activity
Earth lost 90% of biodiversity and it tooks 10 million year before getting back to almost normal. So what we do now will impact hundreds if not thousands of future human generations

It is illegal to reincarnate without government permission !
On August 3, 2007, China's State Administration for Religious Affairs issued a decree that all the reincarnations of tulkus of Tibetan Buddhism must get government approval, otherwise they are "illegal or invalid"

Bitcoins before digital
Wampum can be viewed as an early form of decentralized currency used by Indigenous peoples in North America, particularly among the Iroquois and Algonquian tribes. Unlike modern money controlled by central banks or governments, wampum's value was determined by the collective trust and agreement within and between these communities.
There was no single governing body that issued or regulated wampum. Its worth was established by the social consensus of those who used it.
Wampum was widely accepted across various tribes and even by European settlers for trade, treaties, and ceremonial purposes.
The value of wampum was rooted in its cultural significance and the labor-intensive process required to create it, making it a trusted medium of exchange within decentralized networks of trade.

Babylon and decentralized medicine
In Babylon, when someone fell ill, they were taken to the marketplace because there were no doctors available. People passing by would stop and offer advice based on their own experiences with similar illnesses. They would suggest remedies that had worked for them or for others they knew. It wasn’t allowed for anyone to pass by without asking about the illness and giving some advice. This communal approach ensured that medical knowledge was shared and accessible to everyone.

Almost 2500 years ago Herodotus wrote
“If one were to offer men to choose the best customs in the world, each group, after examining the rest, would choose their own, convinced that their own customs are by far the best.”

### Socrates: Corrupting the Youth
#freedom #illegal #challangethestatusquo
In 399 BC, Socrates was accused of corrupting the youth of Athens. His method of relentless questioning encouraged young people to challenge traditional beliefs and authority figures, which many saw as a threat to societal norms. This intellectual influence led to his trial and condemnation. Despite defending his approach as a pursuit of true wisdom, Socrates was sentenced to death by hemlock. His legacy endures, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking and questioning the status quo.

Herodotus, often referred to as "The Father of History," made a famous observation about war in his work "Histories." The quote is:
"In peace, sons bury their fathers. In war, fathers bury their sons."
This poignant sentence encapsulates the tragic reversal of the natural order brought about by the horrors of war
