James this is first class. Agree with it on all levels. I am interested in your thoughts in a future essay on what individuals can do about this.

One idea I have, which I am developing, is to work re-popularize the notion that gratitude is the attitude to adopt for long term individual success. Twenty years ago (doesn't seem THAT long ago) a move called The Secret went viral, it basically explained The Law of Attraction to the masses. It was quite popular for awhile. If more people could be shown that adopting a victim mindset is counter productive to their success and happiness, and gratitude is, maybe we could shift the culture, slowly?

This is what you get when you allow teachers in schools to teach Penus sucking for boys and carpet munching for girls, as you can see I am not into long worded essays containing bull shit lets tell it like it is, this is the root cause of everything woke, excuse me I have to take a break for a pee so am going to my local school to use the womens loo so I can look up a pretty teachers skirt.
