I don't think that it's useful to discuss so much about the details because George Floyd's case isn't isolated. The issue is that there is a general criminality and racism problem in the US. I also don't think that making the police more sensitive to other people difficulties (even though it will surely avoid some situations) will solve the problem because when a disproportionate amount of a country's population is at a low level of consciousness the police needs to adapt and to be tough in order to not get overblown. A policeman cannot trust an aggressive and/or deranged person and expect him to calm down, nor always handle a person peacefully. However, it's certainly possible to avoid creating these kinds of situations by fixing the base through actions like: financial help for people who are the most in need increasing salaries free and high-quality education for everyone, everywhere free and mandatory psychological follow-ups banning guns marketing to bring consciousness about these issues more multiculturalism I think it will naturally happen through the next 50 - 100 years. We just need to be patient.

We need to find another way to communicate than through social media, all the mainstream platforms are garbage. I feel like an incompetency crisis is coming as more and more people from Gen Z with low focus and work ethic is entering the job market, and it will not get better with Gen Alpha. Millions of people are currently struggling around the world because they have ADHD caused by social medias. It will have an economic impact and will impact the stability of societies if governments don't take this issue seriously. Sometimes I see 3 or 4 years old kids with smartphones, their parents aren't conscious of all the harm they are causing to them. Serious news websites with more written and in-depth analysis are currently the best news sources.

Thoughts on Loneliness -- Daniel Mackler

I'm going to argue the opposite. I think that in 5 minutes just by looking at someone or listening to someone it's already possible to have a taste of how healthy someone is. In 5 minutes, I can already know that someone like Sadhguru is overall very healthy and someone like Trump is overall very unhealthy.

I just want to share this. I found his explanations brilliant.

From my perspective, it looks like the US is imploding. Do you feel hope sometimes?

Pros / Cons of Living Where I Live Pros: Covid free: the government took very strict actions, very quickly as soon as we got our first cases, so in just 1 - 2 months we were out of the pandemic and only had one local case that didn't proliferate since then. There are no restrictions and even if wearing masks is recommended, most people don't wear them and we are fine. The fact that the country is very small and is an island also helped in handling the pandemic Warm weather all year Beautiful beaches Slow pace lifestyle Peaceful and politically stable Cons: Too low-conscious people: the population is probably around 10% red, 50% blue, 35% orange, 5% green. Yellow is probably less than 0.5% or less than 0.25%. It's extremely difficult for me to relate to people, I often get demonized when trying to share just a little of healthy stage orange ideas. Even blue is not properly integrated, there's a lack of politeness, respect, discipline, and organization. The country is trying to move too fast. Low-quality infrastructure: there's a lack of quality roads, there are most of the time no sidewalks. Public transportation is a mess, we have dirty buses with no way to know about their schedule except by asking other people. The government delivers water only at specific times of the day, so each house needs to make stocks before the water gets cut off. It has been that way since I was born. Lack of basic politeness: often times words like "Hello", "Goodmorning", "Please", "Thank you" don't even exist. Many people are very rude and lack basic education Lack of environmental concern: many people don't care at all about the environment. They throw their trash everywhere, sometimes they throw their trash aside bins Dirty and lack of general hygiene Not enough rules: people just don't care. They don't care when someone is walking on a pedestrian crossing and continue to drive their car without slowing down. They don't care about keeping a calm neighborhood and often time put loud music at night. They don't care about having a minimum organization and are often late which results in a mess No respect for individuality: anyone who doesn't do or doesn't know the exact same thing as the group gets demonized. One day I got insulted because I didn't know an ice cream brand, another day I got racists insult because I asked if they all celebrate Christmas. There's a lot of group pressure and a lot of family pressure to conform. Low salaries: something like at least ~50% of people don't even earn $500 / month Too isolated and very small: as we are a small tropical island, we are very disconnected from the "main world", when I purchase something from Amazon it can take from weeks to months to come. There is not a lot of diverse activities because the population is very small. This list might look bad, but it isn't that bad in practice, and I'm overall enjoying good living conditions. I consider that I'm extremely lucky as I had the opportunity to go to high-quality schools when I was a kid. I don't live in a third-world country, nor a first-world country. They are a lot of work to do in this country and many basic infrastructures need to be built and/or improved.

Lately, the French minister of interior criticized the removal of the meat based meal option in Lyon's schools. He said it was an "unacceptable insult" for French farmers and butchers and added: "We can see that the moralising and elitist policy of the Greens excludes the popular classes. Many children often only get to eat meat at the school canteen. The agriculture minister also tweeted "Let's stop putting ideology on our children's plates" and "Let's just give them what they need to grow well. Meat is part of it.". The city mayor responded that the menus still include fish and egg products and so are "balanced for all our schoolchildren. https://www.dw.com/en/vegetarian-school-lunches-spark-row-in-france/a-56645068 It's not the first time that vegetarianism and veganism created political tensions in France. This 2018 article reports that butchers asked government's protection from vegans accusing them of trying to shut down the country's traditional meat-eating culture https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-44623399

I just heard a story about a girl that I know. What happened is that her mom married a violent man. This man tried to touch her sexually when she was a kid and her mom was very afraid that something worst could happen. One day when she was still a kid she went back home with another adult and she saw her dad beating her mom with a huge stick. Her mom then run away from the house, entered the car, and escaped, but she ended up at the hospital with broken ribs. After she got out of the hospital she was too physically damaged to do anything, so her girl had to care about her even though she was only a kid (maybe less than 12 years old). Many years ago when this girl was coming to the house to play with my sister, her mom would call to be sure that she was in security. It was important for her that her girl doesn't get out of the house without adults in case if she met her dad.
