The War Escalation Ladder: Just how far will we climb it before....

     If you are far more concerned right now about how to pay your rent or buy food than you are about how rapidly various Western colonial powers seem to be happily climbing up the escalation ladder in various Eurasian regional wars, then here's something you need to think about besides just the escalating cost of rent, gasoline and food:  

 

     Exactly how far up this escalation ladder are Americans, Europeans, Israelis, Iranians and Russians willing to go in Ukraine and West Asia before we finally begin to notice that perhaps things have started to go too far?  

      Just how far are special-interest groups in various branches of the Epstein Class/Billionaire Boys Club/Central Bank Cartel willing to push the Russian Federation and Iran up the escalation ladder before even America's notorious military-industrial complex starts to get diminishing returns on its Citizens United dollars?  

 

     And just how far do the oligarchs and weapons manufacturers in Washington DC need to go before the American public finally starts to notice that our very own Deep State vampires have finally gone too far?

      Would the use of nuclear weapons finally get our attention?

     Would it take a nuclear holocaust to finally get our minds off trying to balance our credit cards and put food on the table?

     Would it take total bankruptcy of our military-industrial complex (and us personally too) before the American public finally notices that the Escalation Ladder has actually become an Escalation Trap for us all?

      And do we really want to find out the hard way what it would take to wake us all up?

PS:  I'm currently reading Michael Pollan's new book A World Appears: A Journey into Consciousness -- and Pollan keeps going on and on about homeostasis.  What the freak is that?  I looked it up.  It's a "self-regulating process by which a biological system maintains internal stability while adjusting to changing external conditions."  

     Okay.  That's clear.  However.  What good are favorable internal conditions and comfy external conditions gonna do us if we are D.E.A.D. 

     Pollan also talks about emotional homeostasis -- our emotional comfort zone where happiness equals certainty and unhappiness equals uncertainty.  This desire for certainty must explain why people go to fortunetellers, read horoscopes and seek divinations -- so that their certainty level will be increased.

     Pollan's equation also explains why so many Americans appear to be rather unhappy and discontent -- because we are constantly placed on the back foot.  We are constantly bombarded with health fears, economic fears, fear of Endless War, fear of nuclear attacks....  The list goes on and on.  We are constantly made to feel uncertain.

     Perhaps the true definition of Enlightenment is when someone is always certain about the future -- or else just doesn't care.  "Be here now."

 

      But does constantly living in the moment necessarily mean that we give shopping and watching Netflix a higher priority than keeping an eye on our dubious leaders as they happily push us to escalate toward nuclear war?  Doesn't Enlightenment (or at least homeostasis) also involve being aware of dubious actors on a global level as well as in Spiderman movies?
