My study groups have been cycling back to Student Debt, which becomes a noose, and the Overdose Epidemic, which becomes a way out, or at least a temporary escape. Any dose is an overdose where most of these drugs are concerned.
The law abiding become despairing when they recognize that organized crime rules the roost. This article in Rolling Stone keeps pointing to people in high places, high office, as the ones at the top of some Ponzi scheme. The state becomes a prison state.
Recently we learned more from the DEA about its losing battle against Big Pharma. Organized crime has eaten through the medical establishment. Drug pushing is the backbone of a new economy, breaking the backs of many old ones. No, we're not talking about glossy mags in marijuana country. We're talking about fentanyl and worse.
Clearly the student loan crisis and the overdose epidemic go together. In closing off all promising avenues to a brighter future, one reaps the harvest of hopelessness.
The positive futurism I latched onto in my young adulthood was not a popular brand within academia and those paying high interest for borrowing against their futures were for the most part not schooled in any of it. Nevermind about the Medal of Freedom.
Roll forward, and we see the wasteland this land has become. The morgues fill with its victims. The criminals get appointed to higher office. Is there any longer a debate?
Welcome to the Global U, an energy consumer and an intelligent responder, to some degree. We're plugged into the sun, as so many 120 watt bulbs, thinking of ways to survive, one day to the next.
Our institutions are supposed to leverage our numbers, our individual talents, into orchestrated and constructive responses to our circumstances. Which ones do this?
The criminalization of nuclear weapons per the UN Ban Treaty, developed by the General Assembly, has at least helped us see how the "rule of law" was a fragile sphere.
Criminal syndicates control human affairs. The electronic communication networks were our organized response, an attempt to gain traction.

R. Buckminster Fuller:
A true Renaissance Man, and one of the greatest minds of our times, Richard Buckminster Fuller's contributions as a geometrician, educator, and architect-designer are benchmarks of accomplishment in their fields. Among his most notable inventions and discoveries are synergetic geometry, geodesic structures and tensegrity structures. Mr. Fuller reminds us all that America is a land of pioneers, haven for innovative thinking and the free expression of ideas.At issue was the USA itself and whether it had strayed too far from its founding documents to be considered a constitutional democracy anymore. Had it been hijacked by oligarchs and plutocrats who could now use it to press their own agenda? Princeton was inclined to see it this way.
