The Later We Stop, The Worse the Result

neuburger.substack.com/p/the-l

Each corporate sector bribes Congress. Their conflicting interests doom us to an early death on a dying planet with our children cursing our existence.

The Illusion of Democracy: Who Really Controls our Lives?

youtube.com/watch?v=mhOOziH7QA

Life is about choice. What we eat, what we read, who we elect; every day we make choices that determine how we want to live. But what if these choices are just an illusion? In an era where regulations and red tape rule every industry, where lobby groups and big business wield more influence than ever before, our daily choices have become increasingly limited. Focusing on key areas such as food, medicine, finance, and media, Freedom From Choice provides viewers with a glimpse at the myriad of ways their lives are being dictated, and tells us who stands to gain.

medialens.org/2023/a-death-sen

On a trip to Japan in 2014, approaching the third anniversary of the Fukishima nuclear disaster, Noam Chomsky told an audience that:

‘Governments regard their own citizens as their main enemy.’

Anti-Intellectualism Is Killing America

psychologytoday.com/us/blog/ou

Social dysfunction can be traced to the abandonment of reason.

Key Points

* Anti-intellectual societies fall prey to tribalism and simplistic explanations, are emotionally immature, and often seek violent solutions.
* Corporate interests encourage anti-intellectualism, conditioning Americans into conformity and passive acceptance of institutional dominance.
