<br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:gray;font-family:helvetica;font-size:medium;">guys, guys - it is the big picture which kills you - it is the big picture which exists and affects you - it is the big picture which comes through your mailbox in the form of a draft into the next vietnam, the big picture which comes through your roof in the form of a bomb, or through your window in the skyscraper where you work, in the form of a plane, or through your body in the form of the next ford pinto incineration, or through your body in the form of a bullet from a pissedoff robbed underpaid crim, or in the form of a driveby shooting or unibombing or terrorist attack, or which comes through your bank balance in the form of underpay and overcharging, pricegouging, profiteering, etc and through your brain in loss of pleasure in life, in mental disease, in fear, in disgust, in despair<br><br>you are having an earnest discussion about the meaning of the vibrations you can feel in the iron you have your ear to, and i am telling you that it signifies you are standing on a railway line, and what to do to save yourselves from receiving an express train in the small of the back and all over you <br><br>from the points you are discussing, i drew a useful conclusion, a conclusion you can USE in your real situation, a lesson you can apply to protect yourselves and expose yourselves to a lot more pleasantness and less unpleasantness - <br><br>you can try to pierce the veil thrown over the particular example of one of the many schemes of the overpaid and overpowerful which trample you on their way to increased theft and tyranny - that is a tiny tiny part of the big picture that will hurt you, that is hurting you, that has hurt you in many many ways - <br><br>you know you cannot solve the mysteries of the tiny subject you are focussing on - i showed you you can draw the conclusions that can improve your situation enormously - it would give you some pleasure to solve even one of the veiled mysteries of this subject - but that will make an insignificant difference to your situation - whereas you can draw a conclusion from it, a lesson from it, a moral from it, that can improve your situation 100-fold - stop those drafts coming through the post, those bombs through the roof, the job worries that cause so much stress and mental disease, the dangers from violence from inside and outside your home and community<br><br>you, and everyone else, are being trampled by giants - everyone has been being trampled by giants daily for centuries - everyone will be trampled by giants daily till the end of the world or until you use your power to destroy them - you have the means to destroy those giants - that is what i am saying, in case it hasnt been clear - <br><br>maybe you think it is too hard to get rid of them - but getting rid of them is the problem, and solving the puzzles of this tiny tiny part of the big picture is not going to make any difference - if you could solve them - and what are the chances of that, when the giants are holding the veil? - i am saying you cannot succeed at what you are doing; if you do succeed, it will not alter your terrible situation, and on the other hand, you can immediately draw conclusions from the subject you are discussing that will make an enormous improvement in your situation, will lead to action that will make a difference - the fun of the chase, the difficulties of what you are trying to do has fascinated you, distracted you from remembering your situation, your real problem - giants - you are absorbed so in the problem of what is the quality of the steel under your nose that you are selfblinded by that absorption from the key point - you are on a railway line and that is a train bearing down on you - and on everyone, rich and poor, 'powerful' and 'powerless' - i put those words in quotes because the socalled powerful are being trampled too, and you have the power to effect a change in your situation - were the powerful powerful enough to avoid disaster? - hitler, kings, popes? - their power attracted danger - their danger grew with their power - overpay/overpower does not a happy chappy make - <br><br>if you lived in a village where everyone worked, but some imp or something had redistributed the wealth extremely unfairly, you would understand that you are in a bad situation - violence and disturbance are everywhere - you ARE living in such a village - trying to dig out the details of the way the overpaid in that village are using the overpower that overpay gives them IS NOT USEFUL - and it is dangerous - you are getting close to the giant boot that is trampling everyone - i say you can do something from a position of safety to improve your and everyone's situation<br><br>i am or am not an egotist - i am or am not right - i may be an egotist and right - i may be not an egotist and wrong - and so on - but what counts is whether i am right or wrong, not whether i am or am not an egotist - dont dismiss me because you conclude i am an egotist - dismiss me because you conclude, thoughtfully and seriously and selfcaringly, that i am wrong<br><br>SOMETHING GOOD CAN COME OUT OF YOUR DISCUSSION - you can conclude that we MUST do something about overpower - that overpower is the root of all evils, or 99% of them - and it is infinitely more successful and infinitely easier and safer to chop down that tree than trying to tear off one leaf - and if everyone or a great majority comes to see this, the will of the great majority will prevail - so the problem of getting rid of giants comes down to getting people to see that the problem is getting rid of giants - and teaching it to one person a month will lead to everyone being clear about it in just 33 months - so it is practical, it is possible that we can save ourselves - and we know what to do to try to save ourselves<br><br>the upside is enormous, the downside is very small - this is the superbargain of all time - chop down the tree of overpay, very fruitfully and safely, instead of discussing, fruitlessly and dangerously, one sick leaf on the tree of overpay - and end the perennial crisis of the ages - <br><br>if ANYONE can even just HEAR just ONE POINT i am trying to make, please respond - even if it is just an X to indicate: i heard one point - because i can think it is useless to write if no one responds, if everyone ignores, if for all i know no one even reads me - and maybe a Y for every point you agree with - so i have some indication there is a reason to continue to write<br><br>and the reason i post in helvetica gray medium is because i think it is easier to read - not, as has been suggested some might think, because i am arrogant</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><br><br> <p></p><i></i>
