Paradise vs. Parasite

Buzz: Parasitic Thoughts
The second part of Dr Ali Anani's buzz will be discussed on site, but this Paradox Wisdom is from first part
In his buzz (linked above) Dr Ali Anani began it featuring statistics about the Top 10 Fears of Americans in 2016 he saw at a buzz by Oliver McGee. It is the relationship basis of these fears to the topic of "parasitic thoughts" that I found immediately interesting.
I believe that my own mind becomes parasitic if I draw statistical reference that what happens in America is representative of what happens in the world. It is usually the other way around, what happens in the world is due to what America is trying to make happen.
When we use America as the baseline for global reality, distortions immediately come into play. Alissa Miller showed in TEDtalk what American news coverage would look like as a map of the world, and this is just one distortion in a number of distortions caused by a culture that in many ways is not that much different in attitude to the days when "manifest destiny" defined values.

How time flies that I have returned to this hive for the first time in 3 weeks. I watched the Isaac Lidsky video and did not realize he was blind until he told the audience, and only then did I see the walking stick he was holding. I loved the analogy of the backward swimming fish. I agree fully with Lidsky's view that firstly we all do lie to ourselves and secondly recognize the distinction between vision and seeing. Our sensory channels are a sum of what we feed into them, but what surprised me from Lidsky's account is the amount of resources our mind and body uses for what should be the power of sight. That also speaks to the act of shutting our eyes so we can become more cognoscente of our other senses. Learning to see is a terrific thing, but improving our sense ability is an even greater dimension. One way of appreciating that dimension is imagining a world that would cater for every need of disabled people - because such a world be a smarter world, because when we appreciate life from that lens, we appreciate the ability and not the disability - and ability is what we should be focusing on.
