Thank you, Manny, for reminding me of the positive side of crowds: your choral group.
As someone who is unsocial by nature I get nervous when people coagulate into groups. If you were to ask me whether I like people, my answer would be: by and large yes when they are alone, for most people are rational and kind when you get them one-one-one. But when people surrender their personal identity to that of a group they easily turn irrational and unkind. The trouble with humanity is that most of its members most of the time seem to be hell bent on submerging themselves in a crowd of some kind. And even a positive crowd, such as a choral group or a police force, can be infected by some nasty emotion that might be repulsed by an individual but which will spread like wildfire in any crowd.
I think all human crowds are either herds or packs. The mass hysteria created by the government and legacy news media in 2020 created a herd as frightened people huddled together in search of security. But then, because fear (that comes from feeling one is not in control) can easily switch to anger (which creates a semblance of being in control) that national herd began to take on the elements of a pack, hunting the outsiders, the 'lone wolves' that cause any herd to feel threatened. The government and news media, of course, knew this would happen.
Ardern has a degree in communication studies, so Goebbels will be one of her heroes and she would have known exactly what she was doing. I'm still unsure whether she is guilty of criminal negligence leading to the deaths of thousands or malfeasance leading to the deaths of thousands, but either way she understands propaganda.
My wife and I have adopted as one of our current standards the phrase 'know it but don't think it'. In other words, it's essential to know and remember what happened, but it's not a good idea to think too much about it for one tends to get penned into anger, retribution and paranoia.
But it's necessary that some people do think about it on behalf of us all, and keep digging up evidence and finding intelligent ways to help us address our memories and heal ourselves. You are one of those people, Manny, for which I thank you.
Jacintha Ardern like all the rest of them has knowingly, deliberately, participated in crimes against humanity. Like all the the rest of them, she merits the death penalty for what she's done. Her execution must be public, and televised. Nothing less is adequate.
The bonding hormones that are exided and inhaled among a chorus singing the great works is not the same kind of bond that forms among the deluded and self riteous, thank heavens.
Let’s hope we can start letting some fresh air and truth shine through.
So the victim of the bashing is once again victimised by lack of action towards the bully.
I've been hungry a few times too when money was short and kids were little but I never once thought of whacking someone because I was hangry - my thoughts turned to skills/experience to get out of the situation.
As for the covid fake nonsenses, mob sure rules and I stay well away from people groups because most of them like being told how to live by those in authority and turn on those who don't comply.
So mass manipulation, pack mentality, yes fooled once but eyes must be opened you'd think but no, still hearing individuals, mostly old folks in my case, praising the damn jab, praising damn Ardern. Pack mentality displayed again with the anti-Semitism protests around the world.
A lot of us, none of us being perfect, take responsibility for our own well-being, not paying attention to the so-called psychological mentality or society misfunctioning during man-made crisis because we are able to discern the situation for what it is - malfeasance on the part of those perpetuating the crisis.
The world has changed and seems to have lost its ability of discernment, morality and ethics. We need to be more self-reliant and more dependent on what made western countries great and worth living in back then - biblical truth.
Thank you very much for this. Your insights about the positive side of groups were especially thought-provoking for me.
My general take on all this: There are a lot of things that I do not accept, and it's been helpful for me over these past few years to achieve increasing clarity on what precisely those things are and why they are unacceptable. More benefits: I'm a lot less easily taken by surprise than I once was, and I can spot wolves and sheep a country mile away.
(quote): “Far too many humans are slaves to their own damaged Egos, resulting in the plethora of poor choices that they regularly make.
GOD designed humans with something unique in the animal kingdom: the freedom and ability to make reasoned, logical, imaginative, intelligent Choices about our thoughts and behavior, and yet so many of our species -- guided by raw emotion and neurotic Ego -- continue to make Dark Choices on a regular basis. Low self-esteem, cowardice, and personal insecurity are the kindling and root instigators of Narcissism and Hubris, which are terminal cancers of our individual human essences. They lead to virtue signaling, self-righteous smugness, cognitive dissonance, intolerance, dishonesty, selfishness, ruthless meanheartedness, and all things Dark and Evil.
Groupthink (temporarily) assuages their deep insecurities (as does bullying, and lynchings, etc.).
Those who scoff at, deride the importance of, or have forgotten that our species is both physical and metaphysical/spiritual are fodder for the Dark forces of the universe, and become unaware (‘woke’) servants of their own Evil-infused Egos.
Of course, the solution to this tsunami of Darkness is obvious and has been right in front of us since our Creation.
We must first recognize and be Grateful for the unique design of our species, then see it in its full context as both a physical and spiritual manifestation of universal energy, and once fully grokked, nurture our Good through Virtuous behavior, subsequently moving our essences upward towards the Light -- Working Together -- As a structured and accountable hive of honeybees -- Or an inspired Choral group and Orchestra (& Composer) during a Joyous feedback loop of performance of Divine musical creation.
Light always dissipates Darkness;
GOD always wins.”
The only question is, and has always been. . .
“How long are Good people willing to suffer before they decide to make the Holy Choice to risk the sacrifice of their earthbound selves and take the Leap of Faith necessary to Unite and overwhelmingly take the Joy and Independence from Life that’s Rightfully theirs away from the cowardly, greedy clutches of the minions of Evil?”
Nature seems to place two antithetical groups on a scale as it weighs the struggle between "to live" on one side and "to die" on the other. The struggle is to live in goodness, which helps mankind, or to die reaching for the unethical. The latter diminishes the welfare of mankind. As history has shown, the scale never balances; in fact, it tends to favour the unethical side.
Emanuel, I don't know if what I have written here is a pertinent comment to your essay, but I do know, and I say it with utmost conviction, that your essay is a thing of beauty, unfolding slowly, step by logical step to a conclusion which in itself is also a thing of beauty: to strive for benevolent ideals and to promote good will, good energy and Good Power!
Your observation is excellent ... and your kind words are very welcome. I often wonder why I write essays, should I write essays, when so much of what is taken up is news, news items, keeping people abreast, etc. It is very comforting to know that they reach you, that this form has a place. Thank you so very very much, Ana.

Where have you been Doc?

I agree with you about the 'collective mindset' ... and the power of that 'collective' to create something wonderful ... but, for some time ... that 'collective' power ... has been deliberately turned against us ... and is being used to destroy us ...
Over the last couple of years ... I have seen some late 1800's ... early 1900's footage ... some of it colorized ... of cities like Paris, New York, and London ... even Auckland ... and what immediately 'stuck out' ... was a 'civilized serenity' ... a 'collective 'dignity' and 'calmness' ... of long gone eras ... and they highlighted the contrast with today's cities ... particularly all the cities I mentioned above ... and it was sobering ... actually scary ... as to what has happened ... in the 'collectives' we know ... as 'cities'

Dr Garcia, all writers who truly love their craft have doubts about what they produce. Please keep writing!!!

How I envy you singing the Ode to Joy. I can imagine how glorious it must have been.
If you haven't seen this video of a flashmob and the Ode to Joy, it's quite awesome:
