Innovator in Psychology, Neuro-Psychology & Neuroscience | Exploring Human Potential as part of Digital Renaissance. Helping to End The Digital Lobotomy
“The elderly endure digital overload, the young succumb to digital addiction—and as we march toward a collective digital lobotomy, we dare call it progress. It's time we demanded machines serve humanity, not redefine it.”

“Public masters campaign on extra Christmases; they govern by stealing the one already in the calendar.”
Ben Emerson
They stand on the stage with a grin and a wink,
Promise two Christmases, maybe even three,
Extra tinsel, extra turkey, extra drink,
A bonus birthday just for you and me.
We cheer like children who still trust the list,
Then wake on the 25th to an empty fist.
The calendar used to have one circled day,
Red ink, bright hope, a national embrace;
They cross it out quietly, shrug, walk away,
“Budget constraints,” they say with a straight face.
No stockings, no snow, just a polite little note:
“Sorry, we spent your Christmas on a new private boat.”
So raise a glass to the public masters’ art,
Masters of promising what they’ll never bring;
They gift us tomorrow while stealing today’s heart,
And somehow convince us to vote for the sting.
Next election they’ll swear it’s two Easters this time,
We’ll queue up again for the same old victimless crime.
“We remember the fallen for what they stood for. They stood up for their values and their principles, but also their dreams. Their dreams were us…”

@SoulLoveRebirth @SoulMechanic4U This is very profound. Similar to which snowflake causes the avalanche, which drop of rain causes the storm. The answer is none and all at the same time. If you don’t pay attention to the little things they do become big. Very well said post.
@SoulMechanic4U If you look at how healthy we are compared to countries that can’t afford junk food in the same way, I think that tells the exact same story. We’ve been poisoning ourselves for too long.
