I am very grateful to all the peaceful activists, students, mothers, pacifists in the United States and around the world, protesting for ceasefire in Gaza, for stopping the bombing of innocent Palestinian children. These protesters put their morality, humanity and words into action - ie the only way anything positive has ever been achieved in society.

Pacifists’ and women’s voices have been for too long sidelined in politics and conflicts but it is from that mothering place, mothering of Earth that we can achieve world peace and harmony.

War "solutions" are way too barbaric and dangerous to even entertain in this day and age. We are not apes any longer and it is time that those who think that "war is necessary and inevitable" are the sidelined ones at last, as I believe those are barbaric ideas whose time has passed and which have no place in modern society.

Let’s approach caring for the world in the same way we care for our own children, because of being consistent with our values and because that is the legacy we leave for them to live in!

Environmentalists Put Love Into The World -

As Earth Day is approaching let me say this: Environmentalists - and not religious figures, have been among my biggest sources of inspiration this year.

With everything that is happening in the world and that is wrong with politics at the moment, I had to find my source of hope and inspiration out of politics.

That has involved direct interaction with the work environmentalists and conservationists are doing. These people put so much love out there for the world we live in, without any expectation for financial or fame reward.

That is exemplified real love of existence, and what is more spiritual than dedicating your work to the future of society and nature, not expecting luxury-lifestyle in return.

I get these people, because to them nothing is more luxurious than preserving nature with it’s millions of years of evolution and putting love into the entire world which will benefit generations to come! from their work on conservation . The sort of love in the world needed now more than ever to counteract the release of toxins in the environment from bombs to chemicals in our food and air.

What are you doing for Earth Day this year?

I am not religious but I try to be spiritual, which to me means having respect and being in tune with all life, existence and the mysterious nature we are a part of.

I believe without spirituality and morality in such sense, society will be short-lived as this sort of love and respect of life itself is the binding force in society. Without it, we at best would be living bodies without a purpose and meaning to our lives.

I do not want to be insulting at all, but medically speaking: It is hard or harder for individuals on the autistic spectrum to understand spirituality and morality. Their brains can be genius in math, but much like the robots with low sympathy, people on the autistic spectrum don’t understand emotions, feelings, spirituality and morality on a deep or thorough level. The reason I say this is because a lot of "techies" are on the autistic spectrum. Some very rich technocrats that are millionaires and billionaires too, who are FUNDING OUR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS are in fact on the autistic spectrum. What is an ideal society, presidential candidate and future to those people, is actually a nightmare for others who don’t want to live in a "sterile of feelings, compassion and love" society.

Many technocrats think technology and technological development is a solution and the goal of a perfect society. To me and to most people who are not on the autistic spectrum, technology is a mere tool and not a goal.

The goal is to satisfy all aspects and needs of a human life, from physiological to emotional to creative self-actualization to feeling free, with nature sustainability in mind, and understanding that humans cannot be happy without nature.

A lot of autistic people actually don’t enjoy nature nor see an inherent value in it.

I am convinced that humanity absolutely needs all sorts of brains — the more variety the better the innovative capability of humanity as a whole and the better our chances for long term survival!

So we absolutely should not strive to standartize human thought and nature!

However, because the technocrats and autistic people tend to be extra good at mathematics and accumulating more money than they need (and partly due to lack of compassion for those they take the money from), that puts them at a greater and highly DISPROPORTIONATE SOCIAL POWER over social policies and politicians as well as the algorithms that guide the visibility of politicians and individuals in society.

So they are creating social policies that seem perfectly reasonable to them, but the non-autistic-spectrum majority of people would find many of these policies inhumane and hell-sent.

Just one example: I believe what is happening in Gaza at the moment is part of those "autistic spectrum decisions", where it was simply calculated that the bombing of Gaza is profitable, disregarding the moral and spiritual aspects of killing people.

I was talking to my mother recently about Isreal and Gaza, she had gone to Jerusalem many years ago as a Christian to some sort of religious trip and had brought me water in a tiny bottle from the river Jordan, for some sort of good luck. I found it a bit amusing and unnecessary but just reflected with my mother recently how come that region where three of the major religions in the world originate: Judaism, Islam and Christianity, all coming from that same land, are currently having their entite current population killed and starved.

How symbolic it is that the place where our three major religions originate is now THE MOST DEADLY REGION IN THE WORLD.

Some people obviously have no respect for that place at all, regardless of their religious claims. But to me as a non-religious person this bombing of the geographically most historic religious place in the world - symbolizes the social deprivation of morality and spirituality. To be able to throw this amount of bombs in one place where the descendants of today’s major religious figures LIVE, requires special type of crazy inhumanity and moral bankruptcy. It also requires a lack of sympathy and inhumane greed that autistic technocrats have more of, than regular folks.

Solution

Other than the AI craze, I think we need to talk more in media about:

1. The value of spirituality for the sake of sustainability and morality, and in relation to the purpose of a human life.

2. How do we take the uneven control of society away from technocrat billionaires, who do not value the same things in life as majority of people do?

I am hoping that presidential candidate Marianne Williamson who is the most spiritual Democrat running for office, is successful in today’s primary in New Hampshire and is eventually elected for President of the United States and that she continues to bring attention to the quality of a human life on a complete and sustainable level.

It only recently occurred to me that most of the mainstream media is owned by billionaires.

Therefore the media is constantly looking for distractions and distracting material, so that we don’t have a chance to think about changing or challenging the systems in which their donors thrive ie. the actual long term issues of this country and world.

I certainly don’t mean just taxation, but questioning the business models of their bosses which are so unsustainable for humanity and the environment and to be proposing efficient solutions instead.

Most of the stories mainstream media does cover are far from the most interesting or pressing ones. They often find boring figures or couples, like the royals, but actually they try to look for the least disruptive to the system people, and then desperately try to give them the false fasade and character traits of the actual disruptives. And it doesn’t work, of course — at least not for the younger generations able to search for independent podcasters and writers who write of far more relevant and interesting topics and people.

It is a shame because we need functional media for our democracy to work. Billionaire donors have made mainstream media dysfunctional.

We also need the media to educate the people on many different social aspects. Instead the mainstream media just repeats the same often false story for a while, which is also often some sort of a scare, and which usually turns out to be unfounded or useless to humanity in the long term.

Think how much mainstream media covered Trump, Russia Gate, Weapons of Mass Destruction, and all the opportunity costs ie. the things the media did not cover while repeating those all day and all night.

I could start crying if I think too much about all the missed education of the public on profound issues, while the media was dumbing down the people by repeating the same false theatrical stories or giving Trump free coverage.

Mainstream media should at least go in the Guinness World Records for making "Trump" the most repeated last name on television ever. But they will not cover even this somewhat more interesting fact!

Meanwhile thank God for all the brave and creative independent podcasters and free thinkers out there (maybe including myself in this category) for sharing their CREATIVE AND NOVEL SOLUTIONS with the world. They have been a true source of inspiration for me.

I am genuinely and scientifically interested in the mindset of Bill Gates and alikes, when it comes to preferring manmade and lab-made things over natural? Modified RNA vaccines over Natural Immunity.

There are many people who are drawn to the manmade over the natural as I have observed and it never makes sense to me. Why? Psychologists? Anthropologists?

It is narrow-minded in my opinion because I trust the intelligence of nature and evolution over millions of years to be better and more in tune with entire existence than anything that men can create in maximum of a few decades.

Therefore I only look for manmade when nature doesn’t have the solution via evolution. But the natural provided solution is my basis and foundation.

I will also add that conventional medicine has been very late to catch up and discover the science behind hippie and nature-lovers’ lifestyle CHOICES. Whether that is the science behind the positive effects of yoga, veganism, to using breastfeeding instead of formula, marijuana instead of lab-made medicine for medical purposes, spending time in nature, on and on.

Perhaps those who have been more in tune with nature have always generally known better what is healthy for the human body, without necessarily studying conventional medicine, but by trying to understand the logic and laws of nature and evolution.

This is by all means not meant to say that conventional medicine is not important — far from it. But we should use the natural provided solutions, including natural immunity to coronavirus, as basis and foundation to overcoming the pandemic, and supplement it with manmade remedies only when the natural is not sufficient.

Discarding however, the natural as inferior and substituting it with manmade without strong preference for the natural to start with, as it has been preferred by people like Bill Gates, is well — counterintuitive and against nature itself, therefore harmful to humanity.

Humanity’s very existence depends on the natural ie biological processes not being disrupted, especially not on deep DNA level.

Everyone who has the slightest bit of intuition and/or thorough understanding of science understands that the longevity of humanity is one hundred percent dependent on the delicate balance of our eco-system on Earth of which humans are a part of too.

RNA modification and mass vaccination with such modification is a profound disruption of the eco balance on Earth and something that can, without the slightest exaggeration, EASILY lead to the end of humanity should our internal biological processes be deeply interupted and damaged.

I laughed a lot when I looked through my phone searching for an existing picture to go with this post and when I saw the one with me and the tree. However the subject of this post is actually most serious.

Hi people of Earth. I am just curious how most people feel about the new mandates on COVID19 vaccines in New York City and in general, wearing masks and kids wearing masks in schools? I know this can be a divisive topic but I also think it is important to discuss it in an open-minded way and hear everyone out, especially their reasons for or against vaccines and masks.

Particularly because this is a new vaccine and the long term side effects are unknown, I am concerned how many people think it is an absolute must to vaccinate everyone.

I believe that is potentially more dangerous than the number of COVID deaths, if for instance in future vaccines were found to decrease or lead to lower immunity to other COVID19 variants, or to lead to infertility, neurological disorders or anything really.

I believe it is in accordance with both science and US individual freedoms to LET PEOPLE CHOOSE BY THEMSELVES whether they or their children should be COVID19 vaccinated or wear masks anywhere. People in high risk categories obviously need vaccines and masks, the rest can and should choose in my opinion.

We still don’t know the long term side effects of children and adults breathing air so full of carbon dioxide which is supposed to be exhaled, but because of masks it is not. It is also hard for kids to do sports and raise their heartbeats in physical activities because then they run out of oxygen. Therefore wearing masks unfortunately leads to unhealthy childhood. So perhaps we should look into masked and non-masked classrooms to accommodate for the children in risk categories while letting the remaining 99% of children have healthy childhood too. I believe everyone can be accommodated, no need to mask and vaccinate all children when OVER 99% have shown to build natural COVID19 immunity with no problems. We need to look at the percentages affected out of the total and make policies accordingly in my opinion.

I also think the information whether someone is vaccinated or not should be kept CONFIDENTIAL and is a PRIVATE MATTER, just like all other individual’s medical records usually are kept confidential. Otherwise as someone pointed on my Facebook, not vaccinated people will be regarded as second class citizens. I believe all this particularly because the mortality rate of COVID is less than 1% of the population and most people not in high risk categories, are capable of overcoming it without a vaccine and developing immunity that way.

We are of course safest if we don’t drive, fly, get out of our houses, but we still do those things because life lived in fear is not a good life in my opinion! And people should be allowed to choose what type of life they want to live and no one should deny them that life. Particularly important to me is allowing people to choose by themselves what they put in their own bodies. Over 99% of people, adults and children even more, develop natural immunity from COVID19 and the mortality rate is under 1% of the population. So because of these numbers I believe we need to look at protecting and focusing on that small percentage of the population without mandating the 99%+ to put something in their bodies especially not against their personal judgement, preference or consent. What are your thoughts?

Driving while high on marijuana or other drugs seems to be the new drunk driving.

I live in upstate New York and while walking on the side walk, I have too often smelled smell of marijuana coming from cars on the road, especially as they stop on the traffic lights - when they do stop!

Zooming cars driving way over the speed limit in a community filled with pedestrians and children is far from ideal but very common.

I don’t know how many of these high drivers get caught - but I can see it daily and it worries me. I have seen zooming fast cars leaving a stinking trail of of marijuana smell behind them, and just last week a big car accident where a car hit into a bus happened in our community. I was not surprised unfortunately. The car must have flown high in the air to hit the top of the sign and brake it in two. The bus was full of people and there were many casualties.

While I support decriminalizing marijuana and reforming the justice system for non violent drug possession crimes, on the other hand we as society must talk that people can not do drugs while on the road or on the job.

Marijuana must be used on recreational time and treated as we treat alcohol.

We also need to talk what kind of society are we building when so many people are addicted to marijuana and other drugs.

The conversation must not be judgmental but based on facts. 1. People are free to do whatever they want in their free time but we must keep public places drugs free, just like we keep them alcohol-free. 2. Marijuana possession should NOT be criminal, but use on the roads and in cars should be punished. 3. Yes there are many medical uses of marijuana, those should be embraced. 4. We need to recognize and address with sympathy that too many people are addicted to marijuana and drugs and openly talk how to help people overcome addiction without being judgmental and certainly without punishment.

Conclusions:

1. Don’t do drugs while driving or in public places.

2. Drugs used recreationally in own place should not be criminal.

3. Marijuana can be medicinal and helpful to some.

4. Too many people are addicted to marijuana and they deserve non judgmental help to overcome the addiction.

When Congress has their way with impeaching Trump and legislation, what would happen to any politician questioning future election results or diverging in opinion on other issues which might result in protests? Would they be automatically accused of "inciting violence" to be silenced?

What kind of PRECEDENT in terms of questioning legitimacy and mainstream political narrative, are we setting here, EXACTLY?

A lot of people have let their hatred of Donald Trump cloud their judgment. I really don’t see this as just about Trump.

I see here divergent opinions and pluralism being outlawed.

As for the breach in Capitol Hill — prosecute security bosses, resignation is not enough.

I believe if they wanted to stop people entering the building, they could have done that easily. Security bosses wanted protesters to enter the building to have a good excuse to limit people’s rights afterwards. There is evidence of this in the many videos of the event. One police officer filmed standing by the door and letting protesters in, even says “I respect” what you are doing to protesters. I believe he and others responsible should be held accountable before Donald Trump.

I see this new legislation of Congress as limiting individual rights and social ideas in the future, and in my opinion it will not lead to better society, as those with new social ideas that might be revolutionizing society in new and positive ways may be obstructed by this legislation.

Pluralism is the spice of intelligent life and innovation in my opinion.

In the famous words of Rep. John Lewis “Get in good trouble, necessary trouble.”

I believe that getting in good trouble is one of the proven ways throughout history to improve society and lead humanity to greater freedoms and understanding. With the new legislation and precedent Congress is trying to set, the ability to get in good trouble could be obstructed.

A lot of things are weighing on my mind at the moment. There is a revolution happening in America now. I admire the peaceful protesters standing for justice. But it is messy and not the way any of us would have it, if it were a choice - innocent people end up being hurt and killed every day.

The anger and loss of hope in the justice of the current system will not magically disappear I am afraid. The revolutionaries need to be offered substantial POLICIES, actual political changes. And as in every revolution we need to vote a president to embody it, or things will keep getting worse. This could have been avoided if we didn’t ignore these systemic issues and if concerned citizens were offered better choices than corporate-funded neoliberal politicians as THE ONLY option!?

Those politicians are not a source of hope nor change - obviously by now. #BlackLivesMatter was born during the presidency of Barack Obama - the first African-American president, after all.

The system is failing and being taken down and I am not cheering because there are innocent casualties. I am worried and I think the best thing we can do at the moment is try to make sure that the revolution is understood, offered as smooth as possible reforms and policies and accepted as a symptom of mistakes built-up over time and swept under the rug for far too long.

I thank people like Dr Cornel West, Nina Turner, Tim Black, Briahna Joy Grey, Bernie Sanders and the millions of people protesting, explaining and addressing the solutions to the current civil unrest. It all might seem complicated, but it actually is not that hard to give the Black Lives Matter protesters what they want - because that is how you put an end to it. Most of the protesters are peaceful people who want the system re-thought, funds re allocated in smarter ways, because money IS the underlying problem, people profit from racism and injustice, from private prisons...

We need to make the system more LOGICAL and fair. For that we need to make the creation of a new jusice system more OPEN and DEMOCRATIC — capable of reflecting the will of the majority. I trust in the intelligence of the majority of protesters. Don’t be distracted by the trouble-makers and opportunists. We need to focus on reforms, and politicians who EMBODY REFORMS.

"We underestimated this virus." Governor Andrew Cuomo

As the virus goes through my New York and the death toll shoots through the roof, and as we build a hospital with no roof in the open Central Park to make room for the sick, few things become crystal clear to me:

1. Deadly viruses are inevitable, no matter how much I thought they mainly belonged to the childhood stories of my grandparents.

2. What is in our hands is to be prepared when they arrive! We could have been a lot more prepared and New York COULD have had and been able to afford a hospital bed and a ventilator ready for EVERYONE WHO NEEDED IT. I hope we learn from this painful lesson how our budget money, and national priorities have been so profoundly mishandled so far, and make wiser priorities from now on.

3. New Yorkers are tough people. Despite the lonely and deserted streets and parks, you know they are still there, their energy is radiating - in fact as hopeful and as determined as ever, keeping at it, if not more determined than ever, making jokes with realistic assessments of their own death prospects. You might think that New York should be a place of saddndnes and depression on days like today, but in fact it is a place of inspiration, and a place to witness the strength of the human spirit. Another siren, another ambulance passes by, another deep exhale and then you hear cheers through the windows million times louder than all the sirens you heard together.

This city is tough because this city runs on love - for life and everything that entails.

Thank you to all the medical professionals coming to New York, the next few weeks will be probably harder than we can imagine, but it is moving to see everyone doing their part - thank you and keep New York in your thoughts and prayers too, please.
