Our Life is made up of many “Environments”–
and each of us is a “one-human-being environment” –
a “collection-oi-places, niches- corners-spaces- heights-depths-blocks-rocks-precipices,sinkholes-and-swamps ” –
You name it, it’s in both your own inner-‘environment’ –
and in one or more of your outside surrounding and distant environments
======================
Why focus on “Signs” & “Symptoms” now then ?
Simply –
because to “make progress” we each,
and All-Together,
have to be 24/7 perceiving
what is lifesupportive to us,
and what is life-impairing towards us or if we “run into it”
And we also then have to be both each and all-together
ever-24/7 learning-and-refining, qua “self-adapting-to”
what
and
how
we need to be doing –
or not-doing
with each such external “environment”
and
internal “invironment [sic]”‘
============================
That “homile” now standing before us as a ‘motivator’ and ‘guideline’ –
“What’s-up-doc ?’
And straightaway we already have found in our own ‘little-life’
that it is not only the Doctor, and not only the “Sick”,
who need to get clued-up about both
“Signs” – things (especially in this instance “injury”, “unwellness”)
about another individual that that individual is not aware exist in her/him
and
“Symptoms” – things in that other individual that s/he is aware exist in her/him.

NOW WE COME TO OUR ADVANCED-HUMAN TASK
OF
SCRUTINISING
OUR WHOLE CIVILISATION
AND THIS WHOLE EARTH
UPON WHICH OUR CIVILISATION
AND
OUR-LITTLE-OLD-SELF
DO SO UTTERLY INESCAPABLY DEPEND
———————
Part One
The Facts and Factors being Reported by our Scientists, Technologists, and Other Observers :-
(1) We Humans Beings are, contrarily to the basic Economics tenet that “humans are insatiable”, not only satiable
but are also alas! utterly non-self-controllable in
both
over-consuming, wasting and destroying/extincting our Earth-Lifesupports
and
over-populating both the Land-Biomes and our Civilisation-Infrastructures.
THIS GIVES RISE TO THE FOLLOWING “COMPLEX” PREDICAMENT
Our “Developed World” countries are founded upon a
“Need” and a “Right”
to consume much more than our “fair-share” of this Earth’s Lifesupports –
and also to “commandeer” very much more
of other Non-Developed countries’ and peoples’ own resources and produce
than is humanitarianly-kindred and just.
Britons in UK are consuming 5-times more than our fair-share.
Yet we are being “led”- [in fact “driven”] – to consume even more than that –
whilst at the same time Britain as a Nation-State has committed us its “People”
to profiteer
by selling Weapons of Mass Destruction to other Countries
encouraging those Regimes and Peoples to “exterminate-each-other”.
=======================
On the other much “tinier” (“insignificant”) “local” hand,
our “Democraticly-Cost-Effective” Local Government [Plymouth City Council Adult Social Care]
“needs” and has a “right” and “power”
to charge us Taxpayers
£500
in order to send a “sitter”
to sit with a peaceful but disabled old-lady
for a maximum of 7 hours (9a.m. to 4 p.m.).
==================
Me-myself, and I –
feel quite
“scared”
by those two factors alone –
as well as
“sick-unto-death”
as I strive to raise-up enough personal-energy and spirit
to take-in the further “signs” and “symptoms” that
“Something is radically wrong”
and
“no-one is successfully tackling that”
=================
Many are publishing, very responsibly and lucidly, complete sequences of the bad-facts and goings-on, as well as the good;
but too little good is being done
whilst far-too-much bad continues to be being-done
and to be further-planned to be even greatly increased..
