Can feel it on the edges of my forebrain.</p> <p>A lack of realisations fuels conspiracy I feel. Most modern conspiracies (EG; 9/11:&#8221;the government did it&#8221;) stem from seeing some entity profit from it in a way that could only be done by having prior-knowledge of the event. But that&#8217;s wrong, because we haven&#8217;t realised just how good at wringing a profit from ANY event large entities are. They got to be large because they&#8217;re so good at exploiting any and all events.</p> <p>Most people have had the feeling that goes along with a realisation before. That of walking into a massive room and having the lights switched on. That feeling of, while not comprehending it completely, you first start to see the many magnitudes of scale larger the reach of that thing is. That moment more of humbling shock than of clarity.</p> <p>Something&#8217;s brewing about the idea of &#8220;fairness&#8221; or lessening suffering I think.</p> <p><span class="st_facebook_buttons" st_title="On realising things" st_url="http://www.sci-fi-fox.com/?p=1541" displaytext="share"></span><span class="st_twitter_buttons" st_title="On realising things" st_url="http://www.sci-fi-fox.com/?p=1541" displaytext="share"></span><span class="st_email_buttons" st_title="On realising things" st_url="http://www.sci-fi-fox.com/?p=1541" displaytext="share"></span><span class="st_sharethis_buttons" st_title="On realising things" st_url="http://www.sci-fi-fox.com/?p=1541" displaytext="share"></span><span class="st_fblike_buttons" st_title="On realising things" st_url="http://www.sci-fi-fox.com/?p=1541" displaytext="share"></span><span class="st_plusone_buttons" st_title="On realising things" st_url="http://www.sci-fi-fox.com/?p=1541" displaytext="share"></span></p><p style="text-align: right"><small>Mirrored from <a href="http://www.sci-fi-fox.com/?p=1541" title="Read Original Post">The blog-hub for Peter "Sci" Turpin</a>.</small></p><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=sci_starborne&ditemid=246380" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
