Watching the news of late you may notice more reference to mental illness than in the past. So an obvious question that would be asked is what is going on. Are there more mentally ill people or is it just a news topic that sells news copy based on some high profile crimes that involved people that are mentally ill. Continue reading Post ID 14228

Ignoring reality ultimately self-defeating
For some people the thought of reality is too much to cope with. They hide themselves from it by ignoring it and pretending it is not there. Thailand as a country more or less on a regular basis ignores reality. Failed policies or other practices that have had a negative effect on the Thai people as a whole are ignored and not addressed, and that simply causes worsening of the situation.

North Korean nuclear follies
it was hard not to raise an eyebrow when nuclear threats from North Korea were specifically focused on the United States. If there were any doubts about the mental state of the North Korean leadership, those doubts have now been replaced with a desire to make a preemptive strike to stop this self fed phobic leadership from acting on a perceived threat.

The Corporate Psychopath
As stated in a previous article on this site, “A psychopath best put is a person who is self serving, obsessed, and can not stop until that obsession is satisfied.” The corporate psychopath is a little bit different than your “traditional” psychopath. Continue reading Post ID 14228

Premature aging and death caused by political correctness
When nearly everyone on the planet is concerned with longevity and prolonged health, why is political correctness allowed to prosper? Is it the fact that political correctness is just a passing fad that has overstayed its welcome, or is it that people simply did not connect the dots and overlooked the health concerns of excessive stress and anxiety cause by political correctness?

Dictators and Psychopaths
If you ever started to wonder why tyrant dictators found their way to the top of the pile, all you have to do is understand a few disturbing things about human nature. Few species on the planet are known for killing their own kind, and it takes a certain mind set to just up and kill another person without remorse or sense of doing wrong. There are way too many facets to explore with the mentality behind this. However the one thing that is certain is the tyrants will find their way to the top unless equal and opposite force is applied to stop them. Continue reading Post ID 14228

Guns and the insanity factor
More guns or less guns is the debate that has found itself front and center stage once again. The natural reaction to remove the instrument of threat after a seemingly avoidable tragedy is once again driving the debate with the goals to change the laws. However unfortunate as it is, the efforts seem to address the effect and are ignoring the cause. Continue reading Post ID 14228

Thaksin Shinawatra assassination attempt a plural reality
Reading in the news about an alleged assassination plot of Thaksin Shinawatra is not truly surprising. In fact it is a daily reality Thaksin must face if he ever were to set foot in Thailand again. Painting a picture that he is loved, and efforts to bring him home by his supporters ignores the fact that every person that does not like Thaksin has entertained the thought of killing him at one point or another. Continue reading Post ID 14228

The ill mind of a confessed pedophile on the run
For the most part it is a rare public display that a pedophile will announce in anyway that they prey on young people for sexual gratification. It is even more rare that a pedophile with an arrest warrant from Thailand and is presently on the run and hiding in China would not keep his head down and try to be out of sight. But apparently his mental illness is so severe another obsession seems to be overriding his survival instincts and he is doing his best to satisfy that obsession. Continue reading Post ID 14228

Custom designed humans Part 2
So as we continue to look at the possibility where this will all lead, history has shown technology will eventually trickle down to people with far lower ethical standards and only see profit in the use of this technology. So you can well imagine the results of ethical lapses. Continue reading Post ID 14228

Custom designed humans Part 1
This may sound like it comes right out of some horror movie, but the thought of designer children may be in the future of reproduction. We already know how to tinker with genes to bring about changes in health, but what happens when it jumps from medicine to vanity is the start of the horrors of human mutation.

A world of drama
Just sit back and look around. It seems no matter what direction you look, things are heading south with violence, the potential of violence, and the devastating effects of climate change. Never in the history of man has so much negative been going on at the same time, and we can only wonder and speculate as to the reasons why. Continue reading Post ID 14228
