    This is why the Internet has the potential to unit the whole of humanity, to end wars over property and life styles, just communicate and understand each others point of view, this life is never going to be heaven / nervana, etc but we can make it better.

      You can never understand something you dont have a personal experience on. Sure you can think that war or faminine as horrible, but that feeling is pathetically muted compared actually experiencing them firsthand.
      The inernet can only expedite information sharing. That is the same as explaining what are colors to a blind person. Having an actual physical interaction gives a better perspective. Internet It is only part of the puzzle and so far it only increased the population of salty keyboard warriors. People who are in a rush to express hate reponding only to the title and not digesting the whole content. So meh.

    • @aylbdrmadison1051
      @aylbdrmadison1051 4 года назад +2

      You are all correct. Although the internet does have the potential to increase awareness, literally everything in the world has at some point been used as a weapon and the internet is now the weapon of choice for most. 20 years ago we could factually say we were living in _The Information Age,_ but that moment is gone. In the past few years in particular it has become very apparent we are now living in _The Age of Misinformation._
      That coupled with the purposeful destruction of our public schools for the profit of the wealthy elite (another tool used as a weapon) in America has also caused a massive increase in linguistic illiteracy,
      This is why we all need to fact check, and in particular, we need to fact check our own beliefs just as vigorously. Because real information is literally the *only* defense against misinformation. And only through introspection can we grow as individuals. Be the hero. Be honest within yourselves and learn all the *factual truths* you can.
      I wish you all good luck in your individual journeys to create a better world for us all. ^-^

      But that's the true issue, people actually taking the time to try and understand other people's perspective. If all we did is learn by experience we would be living in caves, you can't learn all the 'progress' that's been achieved by our ancestors in a single lifetime, that's the true value of information.
      We do need to weed out bad information, but who do we rely upon to guarantee the facts, because people with that amount of power usually become corrupt in someway, so maybe this is why we live in 'bubbles' (them n us).
      Surely the first step is to communicate though, for without communication we are blind n deaf to anything but our own perspectives.?

    When we talk about violence, I think it is not only physical violence that we should consider. In our societies, for example, the competitive attitude is considered to be a positive attitude and is ingrained in us right from childhood, and admired. But the act of competing with another is also an act of violence. It is probably the beginning of the building of the violent ecology. Can we change this system which has probably been there since our cavemen days? If we can, it would be a major change .... like a step forward in the evolution of mankind.

      John B that’s called empathy

    • @aylbdrmadison1051
      @aylbdrmadison1051 4 года назад +1

      Empathy is the ability to sense what others feel. Although empathy and caring do often go hand in hand, it does not always follow that one is even concerned for the welfare of others simply because they have that sensitivity. I believe compassion is what you meant. Compassion is where strength comes from. This can even be proven by the fact that all heroes endeavor to selflessly help others and to defend those who are less able to defend themselves.

      That is at least partially true, but there are plenty of individuals who also do much damage. Also we all play a part for good or bad in our own ways too. *We can only fight misinformation with real information,* and so we must endeavor to become fact checkers, the new breed of hero in this age of misinformation. In particular, we must all fact check ourselves, lest we become part of the problem and not part of the solution. Never forget that hope is eternal.

Wonder the same is true for countries with less or no democracy and those with serious misgovernance. Their reasons for 'violent ecology' may be genuine grievance too

      It is impossible to tell a narcissist anything, because they believe they already know everything better than anyone else. But trump is just a symptom. A very real and dangerous symptom of course, but not the disease itself. I find him to be despicable I admit, but more like I despise a runny nose or a fever, not the actual virus that caused it. I hope that people will endeavor to break down these bubbles more often and try to put a face and a reality to the anonymous.

    What the good doctor either didn't have time for, or neglects to understand, is that destructive violence does not necessarily need to involve bombs, guns, knives, or guillotine. Violent character assassins, who recently have often had respected platforms as guests of master character assassins at congressional hearings, and doxers are constantly prowling for new victims. Intellectual freedom and respect for reasonable differing opinions is dead on most public university campuses in the United States, and the minds of the "students" at these places are being buried in the same grave, covered with the salted soil of political correctness. Since she made what she thought was a very clever guilt by association reference to a prominent figure in the US today and Bolshevik communists with the reference to "fake news", (should be renamed real lies), uttered slowly--wait for it---and with a pause for effect, I'd gently remind her it was those very same revolutionaries who invented the term politically correct. Look it up. Study some more documents. Checkmate.

Blanket "all-lives-matter" talks do nothing to disrupt the actual state of things if you aren't being explict about the issues and who the perpetrators are.

    • @aylbdrmadison1051

      Discussing the problems that extremists present in no way causes one to become an extremist themselves. *Disregarding such things though is both extremely irresponsible and dangerous.* It sounds to me as if you are a secret antifa member here just to sow dissent and misinformation. Either that or you are illiterate in the English language. In either case, the cure is literacy. I strongly suggest you endeavor to become more literate.
