Identifying The Leading Causes Of Tragedies In Our World

 Most of the problems in America are caused by the same sorts of problems found across the world.

We're just "leading the way".

1. Everyone having a head full of severely problematic neurological wiring caused by:
the UN-intelligent non-design of evolution. 

The damages caused by that could be mitigated.
However, 
most people are not being given an education on how that wiring works, and how to work around it.

2. Religions which exploit vulnerabilities in that wiring, in order to hijack vulnerable minds. 

3. Authoritarian and Totalitarian values being spread by cultural influence; the worst offenders being conservative political groups and authoritarian religions.

4. (related to #3) So many people seeing LIFE as a competition based on the ethics of the Animal Kingdom; where every person's value and their RIGHT to live long and live well ... are determined and proven by:

a.)their ability to be the most successful predator in the human jungle.
and
b.) the lucky circumstances which "The universe" or a "god" has gifted them, as a sign of favor and worthiness.

5. (related to #4) The belief that successful predators have proven themselves to be the sorts of leaders we need, in order to have the strongest possible nation.

6. (related to #5) The belief that nations in a GLOBAL economy, sharing a GLOBAL ecosystem, each have a "sovereign right" to F#$%-over the economies and ecosystems of other nations.

7. The belief that anyone who does NOT conquer literally any-and-every misfortune which befalls them in life, and then "rise up" and thrive, ... has "chosen" to fail, and "has only themselves to blame".

8. (related to 7) The belief that:

"We don't really need to fix systemic injustices, or even really look out for the poor, the disabled, minorities, etc. because "those people" should be looking at their disadvantages as an "opportunity" to grow strong against the struggle and then eventually come out on top.

If they can't do that, then "those people" have effectively chosen to suffer long-term, and then chosen to fail in life, and chosen to blame others for their lack of THRIVE, and their resulting shorter lifespans.

Whereas people made of "the right stuff" will take sole responsibility for their struggles and outcomes.".

For more insights into that way of thinking, Google "Social Darwinism".

9. (related to #8) A lack of scientific literacy.

10. (related to all of the above) Governments intentionally sabotaging education and harmony of citizens.

Why would they do such a thing?

 So they never have to worry about a significant % of their population being smart and harmonious.
Why?
 Because our masters know that would result in the sorts of world-improving changes that would leave them (those political, religious, and social predators) without power and privilege.

11. Mass media manufacturing consent of loyal viewers, to comply with the undisclosed interests of the unseen power-players who write their scripts.

12. Societies basing their economies on "consumer economy" and "prison economy".

We all should be migrating to a science-and-health -based economy, mutually supported with responsible and ethical agriculture.
Seriously, we could cure most diseases and even triple human life expectancy in our lifetime, if humans stopped being so shortsighted.
 
13. Parents working so much just to pay the bills that they aren't home enough to parent their kids, and are usually too tired when they are home.

14. Public schools further (intentionally) sabotaged by predator politicians, in an organized effort to intentionally collapse the public education system, so that it can be
"saved" by privatized education.

Why?

Partly because politicians are being legally bribed by billionaires (like Betsy DeVos) who are already in a position dominate that market.

Also:
Because a privatized education system won't be legally protected from the barrier between Church and State.
That means they could be operated legally as religious and political indoctrination centers.

Why bother?

In order to finally and permanently break the left/right pendulum;
 -absolutely assuring a society-wide shift to a far-right, authoritarian theocracy.

From there,
the "winners" can find a "final solution" to "the gays", leftists, liberals, atheists, Muslims, trans people, etc..

They can also then abolish all the safety nets for the disadvantaged; privatizing those as well.
 
Why would they want to do that?

The same reason they want to privatize children's education.

They also want to send the (resulting) mass of suffering "souls" to churches for charitable assistance; while making sure the needed funds get directed to those institutions.

Why? 

So they can give those churches access to indoctrinate even more future-voters.

15. The specifically destructive
values and ideologies
groomed into societies by:
 organized Abrahamic religions;

 including the basic ideas of:

* "Your worthiness to exist is dependent upon your embrace of the one true worldview"
and
* "No kingdom worth fighting for could ever include people who think and live differently than us. So those people are gonna have to die at some point",
and
* "might makes right".

16. The unchecked plague of clinical narcissism.

We aren't talking about the known causes of it.

Granted, narcissism-based religions are not the only cause.
The causes are much more complex and varied than just that. 
But that's exactly why we need to be having these discussions.

We aren't really trying to resolve the causes of it.

We aren't adequately funding further research into it.

We aren't educating people on how to recognize it before they get hurt by it.

We aren't making sure that help with healing/recovering from social predators is readily available to all survivors.

We aren't holding social predators accountable.

Hell, we even have a very self-defeating habit of hiring/electing predators as leaders;

 because they seem like someone who can "really get the job done".

17. TABOOS against Free Speech whenever that speech challenges popular religious and political ideologies. Because "that would be hateful and divisive".
So then the important discussions can't really happen ... anywhere.

All the while, ...

18. A certain privileged religion (a single name and banner for what is actually:
competing cults of arsonists, in a world-on-fire) can still promote their anti-"the world" ideology (which is also anti-you and anti-me) everywhere they feel like it.

They can even toss in the occasional hell-threat (a direct and blatant attempt to coerce vulnerable minds) and no one blinks an eye. 

19. Widespread rejection of "live and let live".

 Abrahamic religions (fundamentalists and moderates) won't do that, because they were "commanded" by their "God" not to.

 Can't let women (and young girls) have abortions.

Can't let gays get married or adopt kids.

Can't resist the urge to try indoctrinating their own kids AND everyone else's. 

Somehow, they keep forgetting that their special book says one of their GOD's highest rules is:
 NEVER interfere with other people's sins, no matter what. Because "free will". 

Worry about your own sins.  

"Let people (all) decide (freely) what they think, and how they should live."
- so sayeth The Lord (according to Christians) (who Christians only listen to when it matches what they already want to do). 

 Political ideologues (across the spectrum) ALSO won't "live and let live".
Because they TOO all think "our way of thinking, speaking, and living is the only right way. And we simply must force everyone into our correctness".
