From Humanoid Faults to Manipulated Consensus, 46

The sooner the better, before things get seriously bad, is not news, after all, is it? But how much seriously bad? Disregarded responsibilities seem to accumulate in an exponential way: the more there are, the more their total weight exceeds the sum of their individual weights. And every one of them is not necessarily serious, and escaping every one of them gives an apparent relief – even if we basically know what’s going on: we’re failing our duties.
And in the meantime is like the wheel creating a deeper rift in the track: getting out of it becomes ten times as harder at every passage. Sure, it can be hard to take responsibility, but the consequences of not doing it are even worse, and it may even be seen, if it wasn’t for apathy hiding it…

So we better underline the viewpoint of complete responsibility by saying to ourselves that “Everyone, everything, everywhere, anytime does concern me, and I shall better always ask to myself: what part of the problem I may be responsible for? So as to better understand – even more important – how can I do something about it?”

And, finally, we dramatise.

That may be a proper conclusion for this cobbled together list, in that the previous faults are rooted here.
The definition of dramatising here is different from those we know: it does not mean to stage nor to make a big deal of it. It does mean to reproduce. Like a recorder, we play back a record. A button gets pushed on us, and we do it again.
No matter how deeply and remotely the record that we play back is buried in our past and in our mind, that’s the simplicity of it: we once kicked in the teeth or got kicked in the teeth, and now we play it back and do it again.
The point is, we are not knowingly selecting something from experience and then reworking it in view ot the present, oh no. We are not being cause; we are being effect: something selects the record to play and, just like a recorder, everytime the button gets pushed, hardly aware of anything, we just play the record. A type of record that happens to dictate our behaviour, attitude, thoughts, ideas, decisions…
