The Genius of Youth

    Young people at times seem to know better. Remember when you were young and the world was fresh you pretty much accepted things as they were but knew they could be better. Meanwhile the adults around you were frantically trying to keep up with the furious pace of change. This simple distinction manifest itself as the generational leap. Those who are stunned by change vs those who accept it and improve on it. Youth rebel against injustice because the irrational justifications for injustice have not taken hold of their reasoning. They do so because they have a fresh view of the world while respecting the core values of humanity. Reproduction is not simply a means of making more people its a way of cleaning the cognitive slate.

    We ought to draw more perspective from the young. Most young people are generally obsessed with popular culture and politically inactive, but the wisdom of few conscientious individuals can be harnessed. The ability well informed young people to recycle our old thinking into a fresh new direction is a tremendous asset. Many young people have ideas that don't see the light of day for decades as they work there way into positions of power. Thoughtful adults can speed up the process. They can reach out to young people and expose those ideas to the light of day so we may all benefit.

     Parents of children are aware of this, but rarely harness it. Teachers are aware of this but rarely harness it. As humanity enters the cognitive age, making a transition from dogma to reason in a more fundamental way. As we reorganize our institutions for the information age, we more so need to harness the wisdom of young minds. In a rapidly changing world the most reliable source of creative insight are young minds. They in 15 years have absorbed much of our superficial nonsense and streamlined it. While we debate which way to go, they see an obvious course of synergism.

No More SPIN PLEASE!!!

I am so sick of Bloggers Writing SPIN PIECES. Its bad enough the CNN Spins, MSNBC Spins, Fox OH yeah they Spin of course the Candidates Spin and NOW THE BLOGGERS?  What happened to regular people telling the TRUTH to each other. Why do we have to try and predict the future on every spec of insignificant evidence supporting one faction or another.

  Do you really think you know who will win? If you do your full of SHIT! That my friend is not SPIN. Its the reality. We are not that smart, and when we think we are we prove it. Accept your ignorance and save your faith for JESUS(Or your chosen religion).

 I am ok with informative pieces discussing the status of the various candidates, or even opinion pieces. But please don’t tell me anymore psychic magic 8 ball pronouncements about how all of this will turn out. You just don’t know. The pundits are so clearly full of it we could devote a whole book to how often they have been wrong. Not a single person on this planet has the ability predict the outcomes of events derived from this many volatile elements.
