Quote from the blog post: "Things aren't bad because the world we were born into is innately bad, things are bad because a few manipulative sociopaths have made them that way. A few manipulative sociopaths set up a system that is designed to preserve the status quo which feeds them wealth and power at the expense of the health and wellbeing of everyone else... This system is designed to keep everyone poor and propagandized so that nobody can challenge the power of the manipulative sociopaths..."

Cute, the life expectancy of paleolithic people was 35 years.

Nature is red in tooth and claw. The world is a hard place which humans have made safe for themselves. Much of this progress has been over the last 100 years alone.

Humans are inherently herd animals and our natural instincts are to work together as a collective. As a species, we don't do well when our collective is over 100 people. With modern society being the way it is, it's messed up our natural collective instincts. Sadly, sociopaths is highly rewarded by current society, and I believe that is why we have so many sociopaths. I believe that through the Great Awakening that is occurring now, we'll figure out how to work as a collective in bigger groups, and learn how identify refuse to be manipulated by sociopaths.

    I can't remember the Bible quote, but it said something like the mountain top seems better, but it is in the valleys that the soil is most fertile.

    I know that for me personally, there were times when bad things happened which prevented far worse things from happening.

    I know that for me personally, God called me in my darkest hour to fulfill his calling despite tremendous adversity. It has been 4 years now, and this calling has been a lot of work, but I am finally starting to see fruit. The people who initially refused to support me and tried to stop me are now my biggest supporters. And I am helping to make society better for everyone in California.

    I believe this is the End Times or the Great Awakening or whatever other religious prophecy's name you want to call it, where we have to face evil and stop it. The evil has been REVEALED. It's on us to stop it as we were called.
