But it accepts the game. You get it with your mothers milk. You grow up in it as a fish grows up in water.

It's a bubble of logic's. One that you constantly are unaware of, because you know that 'this is the way it is'. And as long as you think this way there will be no door opening for you.

That is why climate science want to describe sustainability in terms of profits.

It's also why your politicians and other leaders don't agree.

And the game protects itself. By making your schools unequal allowing you to grow up without a education. You will have to fight for getting it. It also leads to blame games and conspiracy theories. Which is rather obvious, as long as your schools fails in their purpose. The less you know the more conspiracies you will find.

and the worst thing about those schools isn't that they fail. Because that is my definition of it, looking at it the way I see it. From the games purpose they 'separate the chaff from the wheat'. so it has a purpose.

And the game wants you to be oppressed. It's just a question of degrees, how much it will vary, just as it is with your 'aid'. It doesn't mean that those working with it look at it the way I describe it. You don't think this way, you're a fish swimming in your water, and the water doesn't exist for you.

If you can accept my definitions you will also get a feeling for how that education forms you into becoming one of the 'defenders of the game'. Everyone swimming in the same waters.

I say that the game has its own momentum. And we might be able to define the water as a ''force' driving that momentum, homogenizing you. And it connect to other things too, as traditions and religions, all part of the water you grow up in.

Some of those leaders you either look up to or despise are honest with themselves. If we define it such as they don't care about anything except profits. Because both they and you, at least by now, should know that this is what the game purpose is. So they laugh when they read about climate science, well knowing that the game haven't changed.

I don't know if you should call it evil. It's a result of you lifting up role models with the most extreme traits you can find. They don't need to be sociopaths or narcissists for playing it, they just need to be good at it meeting their counterparts from other nations.

If it makes us look slightly insane, sure, from any sane species point of view it should.

And you keep falling for those traits, don't you. You look for them in your very own circle of peers, your politics and geopolitics, your industries leaders, your 'think tanks' and advisors.

And then you reward them for those traits. You have to, because those they meet and negotiate with will have the same traits as them. Different waters but the same game.
