Thank you for your thoughful reply. I suppose I mention Joe Stacks just to point out the extent to which some people are fed up.
As I age, maybe I will gain enough insight into why I have led such an uneventful life, and I will able to count most of my failures as actual successes.
Failing to be content to plug and chug, discontent with my own undertanding, always returning to basics and fundamentals to bring deeper understanding ...
And also, yes, to reach a point when I may sometimes no longer even care to pretend to understand something that is inherently confounding.
Awhile back I was reading several books by Derrick Jensen. This is an excerpt from
Endgame.
Another excerpt:
From chapter "Pacifism, Part IV"Thank you, Holden, for your input.
I also found an article,
Psychological Mechanisms Involved in Radicalization and Extremism. A Rational Emotive Behavioral Conceptualization.
I wish there were a way for us to be able to prevent ourselves from being made out to be "just another radicalized conspiracy theorist."
I want to take it to a different level, to a level of actual coherency.
