Welcome back to my philosophy and psychology themed curation from around the blockchain. Politics seem to be the pervading theme this week, but I suppose that makes sense due to the current shitshow going on in the U.S. Anyways, I found some good stuff and I hope you'll check them out. It's a good time to remember to remain open minded too as a lot of people feel very divided over the current political theatre.

Let us ask a few questions. If a liberal, progressive society oppresses the intolerant, is it self contradicting? Is it violating the freedom of the intolerant? Is such a society a hypocrite one?
When you go on debating with the irrational, emotional and the illogical, they will almost always use fallacies to counter your arguments. But the world is in turmoil right now and opening up news channels or newspapers feels nauseating to me. I think we must seek answers to these questions — frequently raised by the said groups to be wielded as fallacious shields — and we should do it logically.
Murphy's Law arrives unanounced and people have no control over it. All we can do is run with it, unfortunately we eventually learn this after experiencing a number of uninvited interruptions over the years. Like the car battery failing as one has to drive to an important meeting or interview or the oven not working as the guests ring the door bell. Or the morning one has to be at the hospital early for day surgery and the automatic gate decides not to open!
Some would say that the freedom of the world hangs in the balance now. Radical rumors abound regarding the dire dystopian Democrat cabal, sold out to China and willing to usher in Communism to the world via America. What do I know? All I see is the media globally throwing strange statements around about the evil behind the Democrats.
That's what it comes down to. Some people see past the political game and going around in circles, and want it to end. Others, in their fear, can't imagine any other way for things to be, and want to keep the slavery of government going because that's all they can see as a possibility for a way of life. Anything else would be worse, so gotta keep the slavery alive because it's "safer".
Looking back upon thoughts from decades past, I can tell you that my thoughts have shifted.
Although I've juggled the classic problems of existence, my moods have ultimately lifted.
There is no magic pill or formula for a change of fate in this circumstantial life.
This world offers up a multitude of choices ranging from pen to gun to knife.
