Global Social Tsunami

While considering what to write about in my first post of this new site, I was torn between two phrases; 'helter skelter' and 'social tsunami'.  Our world is currently experiencing an unprecedented upheaval in almost every area of life - from politics to ethics. The inhabitants of planet earth seem to be running 'helter skelter' screaming with our heads between our hands, like some crazed lunatic! 

PLEASE...stop all the voices!!

I was going to say 'madman' but decided against it, because instinctively the insidious politically correct brainwashing indoctrination technique (remembering Justin Trudeau's now famous - or infamous - coining of the phrase "humankind") of the 21st century kicked in. This has so permeated - even my mind - that though I fiercely rebel against this egregious machine - unwittingly I find myself second guessing every single thing I think or - heaven forbid - say, lest I be charged with the hideous crime of a new form of social 'bigotry' or any number of 'deplorable' phobias. And, I might add, it's not the 'old tried and true phobias' that we've all come to accept as being unusual enough to require medical intervention - such as Claustrophobia; a fear of enclosed spaces, or Agoraphobia - an abnormal fear of being in crowds, public places or open areas. No, not at all! Those have become completely passe! (One wonders if they are even included in the Psychiatric Compendium today!!)

Buy now while still being taught!

We have now created a whole new genre of phobias which essentially prevents us from thinking anything that does not line up with the accepted 'norms' of our present day enlightened society.  Even the term 'normal' has now become taboo, because apparently there is NO normal.  We have become so individualistic as a culture that whatever any one person considers to be normal - just ISl!! We might as well throw out all those old psychiatry books because, apparently none of us has anything 'odd' or 'unusual' about ourselves anymore. We just are!! ("I think, therefore I am"? Descartes)   For that matter, why are we still offering psychiatry courses at universities??  I guess it's for those of us who refuse to conform to today's propaganda program!! Hmmm...I hadn't thought of that before!!

Oops...was that my 'out loud' voice?

Stay tuned for tomorrow's thoughts.  I have no idea what I will be writing about but my brain is so full of swirling bewilderment at our present day social catastrophe, that I'm sure something will pop out onto the page!! 

Phew...even I didn't think of this one!!
