Excellent explanation and description.

One of my early and on going rants, in the gullibility of the masses to attribute so much time, whore-ship and money toward these very damaged and truly despicable people, as well as the self delusion that they are or share the curated values, morals, empathy, heroism, bravery, intelligence or piety of the characters they pretend to be.

I'll not pull the soap box out here, but it is the acme of foolishness and idiocy, that we as a society would know more about the hollywood pervert's or whore's family, likes, dislikes, and their pet's preferred food, than we would say our local fire fighter, utility lineman/woman, sheriff and deputies, plumber, grocer, electrician, etc. The people who actually show-up and save us in the flesh are silhouettes, while we elevate the propagandist, pedophile grifters, to god status.

They could not be where they are, unless we elevated them. It needs to come to an end.

The public is for the most part, gullible and naive. When God has been rebuked and discarded, people tend to turn their worship to other things (money, power, fame, etc.). We have been living in Hell the past several years. Perhaps with Trump in power, there's hope for repair and resurgence.

I took notice of Robert DeNiro when he showed up outside the NYC courthouse last summer to rant and rage about Trump who was facing Kangaroo court lawfare on charges most people don’t understand. It was so apparent that he was acting and likely put up to it by powerful friends. The one moment when he came down to earth was when someone asked him what it was about Trump that made him so angry at which point he stopped for a moment and said, “I don’t know. I just don’t like him.” All that uproar and he can’t even say what for.

Seems to be an epidemic. If you’re gonna detest someone, at least be able and willing to substantiate why. Illogical, irrational people can’t do this… and neither can Borderlines.

Wonderful comment from you Shari. I agree completely your description of the context in which many people live their lives in this day and age.

Root causes are many. Here's my little list ( Remember .."I have a little list"? G & S ! )

1. A decline in the mother's imprinting of their babies. ( a la Harlow )

2. The developmental progress from childhood to adulthood being interfered with in so many ways both psychological and physical. Note for example, the biological sexual variations introduced to some children to persuade them to change their identity.

3.Or note our failure to understand normal behaviour changes as children mature. For example it is quite normal for boys to prefer boys company and girls to prefer girls company as they pass into the teen years. It can be observed in every high school in the world. But that all changes. In short, homosexuality is a normal part of the process of growing up.... as identified by Freud.

4.The effect on inherited average intelligence following two world wars is not under understood.

5.. The new world of digital technology has enabled propaganda to become hugely widespread.

Thank you for your brilliant analysis !

However not all intelligence has faded away ! I say this because I have seen how huge audiences, worldwide, respond with remarkable compassion when musicians such as Andre Rieu performs with his orchestra in public. Because of their ability to communicate with their audiences, I still live in hope.
