You have been busy during your absence from the blockchains!

Through imbalance and the carefully crafted illusions of fulfilment, power, and success, they have coerced the self-perpetuating devolution of the social order.

They seem to have thought of everything, and everyone. Infiltrate and steer is the name of the game here. I wonder how they have done that to me.

The spiritual and natural communities seem to me to be where they do their most damaging experiments. All new fangled foods and supplements are tried out on those of us who seek health through food. Now the natural health communities are telling everyone to better their health by using nicotine. Don't get me wrong, I am well aware that tobacco (not nicotine) has been widely used as medicine all around the world, and no doubt is powerful medicine. But I'll bet using it on a daily basis, to supposedly enhance cognitive powers, stave off cancer and the like, has deleterious side effects, not the least of which would be of the brain washing variety. Much like coffee and alcohol, that is regularly pushed on us as beneficial, if only for the comraderie component, perhaps the most dangerous component of all, and how they get so many of us to behave irrationally, like thinking injecting poisons in the flesh is a path to health.

Back to reading your post. I needed to get all that down before it escaped me.

Impromptu haiku, along the lines of my recent obsession, and inspired by you:

is it normal
to be enchanted
by a sales pitch?
