DESTRUCTIVITY: THE JOY OF DESTRUCTION

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

THE JOY OF DESTRUCTION:  an absurdist review of the gleeful “creativity” of destruction.

Why do human beings enjoy destroying things, and each other so much?  It’s the opposite of  Creativity:  it’s DESTRUCTIVITY

If you can’t create something new and wonderful from nothing, as with a piece of art, then destroy the creation of others!  Or, just admit that you’re too stupid or too lazy to create.

 

Here is a wonderfully creative film about the Joy of Destruction

EMPATHY vs POVERTY

shantaramI am reading an extraordinarily novel based on life experiences living in the slums of Mumbai (Bombay) the largest city in India, by the author Gregory David Roberts.  In his novel Shantaram, the author reveals and relives his escape from prison in Australia and into anonymity of the ubiquitous slums of the largest city in India. As a work of art and literature the book is a masterpiece. Certainly one of the very best of thousands of books I’ve read.

This book changed my  perspective on the selfless spirit and essential goodness of human beings. By contrast, the book exposes the rotting flesh of possession and wealth for it’s own sake — maniacally enforced on Earth by soul-crushing materialists.

I don’t know how to solve the disparity between wealth and poverty, good and evil, wisdom and stupidity. But, I am very sure that my Empathy has been magnified and focused by contrasting the squalid reality of daily life of sub-human slums in the shadow of the skyscrapers that house the wealthiest people in India. Empathy costs nothing except knowing that all sentient beings feel love and suffer the same pain we ourselves.   — Lawrence R. Spencer, 2015

HISTORY OF USURY

USURY:  the lending of money with an interest charge for its use; especially :  the lending of money at exorbitant interest rates

I am a student of history. I am not a Christian or Jew or
Democrat or Socialist or proponent of any other cult of power. However, this two part interview with Dr. Eugene Michael Jones is a very informative expose of the battle for domination over the minds, bodies, resources of Earth and spirit of humanity.  Men are men.  Financial usury, political power and coercion of every kind are the everyday routine of psychopathic “rulers”.  Religion AND politics are justification for debauchery, murder AND usury.  This is a good reason to study this information.

Eugene Michael Jones (born May 4, 1948) is a writer, former professor, media commentator and the current editor of Culture Wars magazine (formerly Fidelity Magazine).  He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and was raised in the Roman Catholic Church, but he lost interest in it in early adulthood. He became involved in the counterculture of the 1960s. He found little satisfaction after leaving his faith and eventually returned to it after reading The Seven Storey Mountain by Thomas Merton. Jones then obtained his Ph.D. from Temple University.

Jones’s work has primarily been concerned with the relationship between the Catholic Church and secular culture as well as the sexual revolution and the wider cultural effects of the Second Vatican Council. Later work has focused on the historical friction between the Catholic Church and Jews.

In recent years, Jones has focused on and has written numerous articles examining usury and wider economic issues. He wrote a book entitled Barren Metal: a History of Capitalism as the Conflict between Labor and Usury.
