RE: BargePolarity Through A Hole In A Leaf
That was a very thought provoking video. If we are responsible for ourselves and ourselves alone we have to accept that others are beyond our control and some aren't going to be nice. Yet here people are clamouring for government to bring in more laws to stop people saying horrible things and asking said government to be responsible for us and them. It's like people are wanting less and less responsibility for themselves while trying to force others to behave they way they think they should.

Yeah, that's why I like the blockchain and the principles it seems to have embedded within, including self-responsibility (own banker, no password 'reset' service) and transparency. I think there is a lot of conditioning that feeds into fear of responsibility (consequences of taking the initiative) and there is a lot of learned helplessness. In this state, it seems easier to try to force others to change (apathy) than to reconsider (allow 'challenging' ideas in) the solidity of one's own belief systems and state of unhappiness from which the entire package derives in the first place.
I believe that one of the major challenges/tasks of life is to identify and break these bonds of psychological dependence and become simply responsible for ourselves alone (expression of thought, lifestyle, actions etc), and no longer over-responsible (fear-driven responsibility for others at the expense of assuming responsibility for self).
I believe that this is changing, that the desire for this change abounds in the global human heart, even if on the outside it appears not to be so. I think that this appearance of a tightening grip on Control (over-responsibility etc) is itself a symptom of a crumbling and cracking system which is not in control (uncontrolled? uncontrollable?). Once enough people have seen that the emperor is standing bollock naked :), and have demonstrably said so, the effect will be exponential and the entire edifice (emperor and entourage :) will be swept away.
What replaces it remains to be seen and worked out, but the transition is already underway in my optimistic opinion 🔆.
