Chain Reaction... a life

When I saw Chain Reaction in the theater oh so long ago, I remember how I felt afterwards. Incredible intellect rewarded by domination by thugs. The "business" of growing technology outdone by the "business" of securing it for one, dominant, corporation/gang of thugs.
Farmers and reapers.
So then it became clear that all of my efforts at becoming a game-changer were diluted by the fact that I would succeed in becoming the most prized slave on Earth... yay. So a better reward, as I chose it, was to simply learn from many different perspectives and pine away at a great destiny, somehow FREE of a master.
Another reason to watch THE MASTER if you want some insight into my life.
More than a decade I have spent knowing & understanding much more than the people around me but my reward for this, betrayal. As they did Joseph with the many-colored coat, they have slain me. My dreams of a place where the dark and the non-dark could co-exist is quite ridiculous when I think back on it now. How does a completely free person exist next to people that are chained to their handlers? It was like Joseph and his brothers. One person with hope, existing next to a group of people that don't believe they will ever be anything but goat herders.
And yet he is not slain, and they did NOT kill him. Dreamers belong in a place where their ability and hunger for improvement is rewardable. Clearly that is not in a field of goats.
It occurs to me now, as it did in the movie( "I don't do segues" - SarahK), that people WANT the disaster. After Hurricane Sandy, I believe it was almost expected that the governor would wrangle that money away from it's handler. And what's worse, this is New Jersey. I mean they were doing this right there at the center of the world and people were just letting it happen. What should the world think when we have nukes and stop their nukes and at the heart of society there is this FEAR fueling money into someone's bank account.
Time to think for yourselves. Don't people follow your example? When you go faster, doesn't everyone? When your grass grows high, do your neighbors' soon follow? The world follows our example.
It's another example of that occurs in Cloud Atlas where the cover-up blows up the guy's plane in an effort to stop people from finding out. The events of 9/11 are another example. Insurance money is another example. that's why there shouldn't be insurance because it fuels corruptive efforts at deception and yet there are a great many benefits to feeling safe. Wall Street is corrupt now. They need people to invest their money and not know the tricks so for this they need people to keep funding pensions. The people that work there are all in on it. In on what? IN on the culture of reaping. They take people's lifelong earnings and slice at it from the top, or maybe chop off a bigger piece.
Think of the Chesire murders. I was watching that show and I saw the handling of the murders by the Chesire police dept. It seemed to me that they wanted to have the disaster. Soon after the murders, the death penalty gets approved, probably more money gets invested in police and people all begin to pay for cameras and alarms.
Sacrifice is good for business.
I am against the death penalty by the way(btw) because it makes not just the public hungry for vengeance, it provides an unhealthy reward for police and law enforcement. Catching criminals should NOT be satisfying, it should be an exercise in healthcare, in my opinion.
Ok sidetracked. And that's what education gets you. You become able to change the world and people in Wall Street are like ok we'll buy it from the one selfish guy and keep paying the rest of you crap wages and mark up the prices 10 fold since educated people haven't "learned" to do that.
Now, do I sound like a man talking out of fear? Fear of a large group of mostly uneducated, business math friendly, clawed, barely civilized people, that all they've ever known is "harass that guy now"?
Yes. (Spock's voice in the elevator )
ps. When I was around 19 I came to the realization that I could take ANY problem and quantify it and solve it, and since then I've wondered if the world deserves me and what would happen if I started to work indirectly for evil. Since then I have been afraid, maybe for no good reason, ya? Well now I know, it was for good reason. All our leaders are HALF the man I am ethically, and they are probably HALF or close to the same in ability as all of you. There are no amazing people left. Now, in my eyes, all people have that tinge of either knowing they work for rich people, or being so shallow they don't even know... what MUST be true.
Being 40+ at least I know now that my cowardice is likely shared by all people of my age, at least the ones that are wise. And don't worry, all of that ability to do math when I was yonger has been blunted down by the sloppy work of customer service which has returned to me less of an intellect but granted me a great deal of wisdom.
