Blacks have no rights that Whites have to respect.

After a few centuries Blacks still aren't seen as human.

Civilization will not collapse just because a few billion people are on permanent

You may be an exception but most people can't handle large blocks of free time.

Some retirees literally drop dead once they stop working. Also you often hear the story of successful entertainers developing an addiction. The other example I use is Covid. Work provides structure and social interaction. So as much as people say they wish they didn't have to work reality is much different. In addition a study was done on people who won millions on the lottery

. The only people who weren't broke were the ones who kept their jobs.

If people used their free time productively the entertainment industry would be a fraction of its current size. 

In Australia a lot of retirees gamble. While some are gamblers most have a lot of time. I used to go to dive bars in New York and there were a few patrons who were there all day.

While that's not everyone and may not be a large percentage of people it is an issue.

that’s true and with AI you can solve even more difficult problems, which is more rewarding.

What will become of people when they no longer have to think or work. I reckon that drugs, VR and escapism will be more dominant than they already are. Which will may result in the collapse of civilisation

It's rewarding solving a difficult task.

Interestingly, crystal meth and opioids are supposedly a *problem* in white communities. Yet, there is no war on them. The punishments aren't the same either.

Why do you think that is the case?

Black Americans have survived not thrived as a whole.

Whenever Black people have succeeded they were eradicated. Power only concedes to a greater power. 

One possible way of creating more fairness is socialism. However that has been demonised. When you say socialism most people think communism. Without understanding that socialism is both a political and economic system.

The following are examples of socialism: insurance; libraries; museums. In fact all government payments are socialist including military expenditures.

@ProfD I order for your vision to be realised the population has to be reeducated. Most societies prefer an entertained as opposed to educated populace. This goes back to Rome and is true in the US, which is similar to old Rome.

So what hope for you have for Black America ?

If Africa was allowed to control its natural resources, it would be one of if not the wealthiest continents on the planet. 

@ProfD Africa probably has the highest number of starving people of any continent. There are places without clean water, but yet there is an abundance of natural resources. There is always more money for war than food.

It is highly unlikely that Blacks get monetary reparations. If it does happen then the money will most likely be controlled by non blacks. 

People like equality in theory bit not in practice. So while many will say they want equality. The want it to come out of someone else's pocket.

Should every one living in America pay a tax to Native Americans or just give them 1%

Black people used to be property. Some Blacks do well. I don't feel that Black people will ever have the same rice type of success as other immigrants or Native Americans. For two reasons lack of unity. Which may be the result not having a culture or language that they own. Also Blacks define the bottom. 

Racism is a really effective tool in class warfare.

It is really good. Except she makes a slightly strange expression when she says today. You may have to slow down the video to see it though.

What if we're realizing it is feeling, imagining, and creating vibrations that makes the difference in this world.

I feel my imagination\intuition is good. One of the things I try to do is be really present and real with people. However I have come to understand that I need a fair amount of stimulation. Whether it be physical, or mental. I just have to dig deeper.
 

I have a fairly challenging couple of years so I want to switch from feeling to thinking

LOVE is life and life is living."

That was the slow Jam. I had to look up the lyric. There's another one that is very apt for me. "A change in life can bring good things."

But in this moment, I'm only beginning to understand LOVE as THE operating system.

I used to think knowledge was the most important thing in life. A few years back it changed to understanding. Now I think it may be community.

What if, "thinking is overrated?"

It is overrated and I have been told that I think too much. And live in my head too much. However I wouldn't change any of the past. Since the thinking and feeling brought me to this place.

So true life only means whatever we say it means.

I had a conversation at work yesterday. The cleaner asked me how is it going . I said I don't know. I asked him the following question. How many people tell you things. When they think they know but you know that they don't know. He said all of them. I said well I know that I have no idea.

I am bored , I am finding it difficult to find people who think 

The following two quotes are from Hellenestic Astrology The study of fate and fortune

... all things are predetermined from the moment of birth, and that there is nothing that a person can do to change their
fate, since it is not just external events and circumstances in their lives that are predetermined, but also the person's internal motivations, character and choices as well.

...  the choice to act was free, but once an action had been taken, the outcome was predetermined.

Not necessarily.
Because there may be MULTIPLE futures in  MULTIPLE Realities.

An individual's future may be yet to be determined depending on their choices.

The Omniscient Being knows the DIFFERENT futures/outcomes of all the DIFFERENT directions they could go but they still can go in any direction they choose.

They speak about  the Cern reactor in Switzerland giving  off all kinds of signals that something is on a collision course with Earth and the speculation

That's false. I don't know this Astrologer but I like how he presents and he admits he got it wrong in the past 

I only know one astrologer who does astrology about world events who got one prediction correct and I haven't seen anything from him.

Astrologers will post a chart from a future start and say something will happen. I haven't seen them be correct. What does happen is a chart can be ominous but nothing happens.

However I know one Hindu Astrologer palm and tarot reader personally. He does predictions. He is very good.  Based on what he posts we are in a critical time. He looks at food shortages and market corrections et cetera. The general feel is we are in transition.

When Trump was first running for President I had said we are having paradigm shifts. That was back in 2016. I feel that the next five or so years we are at the crossroads. I think the biggest issues will be the global economy and wealth consolidation.

The US appears to be well on its road to becoming a third world country. Which will spawn more violence and general tension. I also feel China may face economic and or social disruption. In the US and Australia there is increase in gambling and drug usage. Which is symptomatic of escapism and loss if faith in the national dream of a better life for your children and home ownership.

I have seen a rise in homelessness in Sydney. 

 It's also an issue in other parts of Australia. I work and live with people in their 20's. They are a different breed although I don't know if they will be different enough to solve the problems they will inherit. 

@aka Contrarian

I'll see what the general vibe is about upcoming predictions.

He knew how much his contemporaries didn't know.

Isaac Newton is the biggest scientific mind of all time and he studied alchemy. He created calculus because he needed it and it didn't exist. You think he didn't know what he was doing?

Theoretically, there has/had to be an Intelligent Force planning all events.

Or it could be a being outside of time and space. Humans were created as a project to see what they will do in various situations.

@Delano we have the ability to see some of the patterns. maybe that is why some people believe if you know the initial conditions of one’s birth, like their relative place in the cosmos, you can predict a lot about their lives

That has been my experience.

My feelings is that people have patterns in life. I don't know if the patterns are set or a function of their personality. In addition meeting some people has felt like destiny. One of the things I have seen often is a person dating a certain type. The type is t something physical rather it emotional or psychological. It's like you choose each other to learn or fill a particular need.
