I disagree 100% with the statement from RealAmerican that it's all about rich people with money.
For me that's just the tip of iceberg and we need submarines to get down to the bottom of the weirdness. I've had numerous personal experiences that have convinced my that there is soooooooooo much more than a material world.
This is all so big that as individuals we can't change or stop it all, in my opinion, but we can each contribute something positive,
To say the thread felt negative and defeatist, then to say as individuals we can't change or stop it all is a contradiction...imo
But I don't want to argue so if you got a extra seat on the submarine that goes down to the bottom of the weirdness send me a ticket and we can take that ride and figure it out.

Sorry, I typed something very important without double checking. Let's say we may not be able to stop or change certain things, but somehow, and for reasons I don't understand, maybe we can. That's what I meant with the Gollum / Bilbo analogy. Maybe we are the butterfly's wings. I gift orgonite for example, and I know I've made a positive difference. How big and how critical that difference will be I don't know, but maybe it will be something different. For example, I stopped to ask a man if he was okay one morning last week, and he grimaced then smiled and made it clear that he just horribly hung over. Maybe I made his morning and he did something positive and that will lead to a chain that will save the world. Unlikely, but every little act of kindness helps in my opinion. I feel that some things were really supposed to happen, and some of it so ugly that I don't understand why, but again, just like Frodo, we have to keep on going even when we don't understand.
Basically I feel if we live from the heart and follow our intuition we'll be on the right path.
Sharing weirdness isn't always easy, neither is explaining it to others, but when you've had certain experiences it can make you more open to those of others. There's plenty of room on the submarine, but you should really eat more, You're looking very undernourished for an American.
