Enigma Solution

We always think of a race, nation, religion, tribe or society all populated by people who think and act uniformly. We call this stereotyping.  This occurs because, we have become intellectually and emotionally lazy. We experience a couple of wave and we quickly conclude that, we know the ocean.  America is the most powerful nation on earth today. However the average American like the average citizen in any other democracy has little influence on what, their business, political, economic, social leaders and bureaucrats do or how they act. All of us we human animals have more or less the same desires. To survive, find security, thrive, reproduce, and ensure survival of our offspring, etc. The path we choose to attain these material goals differ before of culture, language, history, geography, resources etc. Just as a complete herd of buffalos may be led by one dominant male. Human societies are led by a group of individuals and families. Once they attai...

Most of us have some form of genius within us, but we have to discover it. Sadly most of us are in a kind of stupor imposed  on us by our social conditioning. Our family, teachers, governments, society and employers.  They do this because all they want is to...

My nephew Karan and I recently debated over various economic and political matters one evening. I asked him how he was convinced that what he said was correct. He replied that he read and saw it in the media, and therefore they were 'facts'. Foolishly we believe we are consumers and therefore we are being served with facts. Nothing can be further from the truth. ___________________________________ By whatever affiliation, all the major media players are large companies, owned and interlinked with even larger business groups. Like other companies, they sell a product to a market. The market is advertisers - that is, other businesses. The product is audiences. The elitist media decides the basic agenda who and what must be promoted and which others must adapt. So we have major corporations selling their ideas to other businesses. Not surprisingly the picture of the world presented reflects the narrow and biased interests and values of the sellers, which ...
