My country has purchased 12 fighters and ordered a total of 52 F-35 A aircrafts, at a cost of NOK 87 billion kroner(9.5 billion US dollars.) These aircrafts are great technological devices, I have started to love them. But do we really need them? And do we need so many?

Spending money on mutual peace conferences and agreements instead.

Why don’t we spend $ 2 billion on peace work with our neighbor Russia instead? Then both parties would have had less need to spend both yours and mine tax money on military armament as a deterrent tactic. Telling Russia: ” Boo, now i scared you, Putin” , is that the best way to make peace? I just ask out of my total naivity! This is a field I have not studied. I can only imagine weapon producers like the US, Russia and Norway may lose money on that peace-work, and people lose their jobs in the weapon industry. Loosing your job is not good. However we can compensate this by not making so many job-stealing robots in other fields of industry and trade. But the most important question here is what we lose by continuing rearmament? I just wonder……

(According to my research on killed in conflicts between nations and different groups this is what I found: Weapons and the result of war have actually killed approximately 90 million people since 1939. Only during the Second World War around 72 million people lost their life, most of them civilians. About 25 million of them were military personnel) (check http://Is the biggest treath in the world you and me)

What an amazing aircraft!

For me with my addiction to all kinds of airplanes and aircrafts this plane is wonderful! Preferably without bombs. But I personally think that when you first buy these expensive inventions, you must choose the F-35 B version of the fighter. Unfortunately my government have bought the Lockheed Martin F-35 A version, and not the F-35 B version. This last type or version has to my opinion the great advantage that they are suitable for hatch parking in heavily populated cities.

Building down stately infrastructure, institutions and social support, and outsourcing railways, healthcare and wellfare.

In Norway, post offices, services to the public are closed down every day. Local hospitals, maternity wards, psychiatric hospitals and treatment centers for mental disorders are also shut down. This happens usually with the reason that it is too expensive for the state to run small units, or with the excuse that these institutions do not have good enough professional conditions . The long time planned and wanted North-Norway Railway to Tromsø is on hault. Even the general maintenance of our railways, we are unable to secure properly.

The state that has secured us all an unprecedented stately wealth from our oil installations , is now being built down bit by bit. Services are outsourced and institutions like hospitals and Kindergartens sold to private investors, with companies registered in tax paradises.

This is the neo-liberals main project, along with economic growth. But we cannot tolerate this growth. Because we live by and in nature. We also live by the environment. See Linn Stalsberg’s summary of this way of living and managing a country. (“It’s enough now!” Stalsberg 2019)

For us normal mainstream citizens this makes us scared. And the security we have had that the Norwegian State takes care of us wherever we live in this long and widespread country, is being lost gradually, step by step.

Psychologically this is not at all good. We are in peril of developing a competitive society where everyone must fight for himself, and where solidarity and equality soon will end on the scrap heap. Is this what economic wealth and richness makes to a country? I thought it was more prominent in really poor countries.

Readers: Excuse me for this post, it’s obviously something I haven’t cathched or understood, that our state leaders and politicians know about life on earth. Cause I can’t understand that we must sacrifice millions of civilians lives to secure peace……

I have often said that the older generation must look itself in the mirror of the younger generation! Looking into that mirror which the young ones hold up in front of us is crucial for change!

Because that is the only way to correct the course away from habitual thinking and habitual actions. Never before has this perspective been more relevant than in these days, when human made climate change is about too extinguish not only already threatened species, but mankind itself.

“The house is on fire”, Greta Thunberg tells us! This she does together will millions of young people all over the world, while most of the world’s major leaders sits there in the burning house almost passive in relation to the intensity of the fire!

They are sitting there together with the big business corporations and financial institutions, and wonder how to expand growth and increase economic wealth. And they do it without really taking action to put out the fire.

My aim on Psychological Universe is to remind ourselves what an almost inconceivably advanced organism we humans are. By reminding us of this fact we all have the opportunity to learn and change our behaviour according to an upcoming crisis. This is our self-preservation instinct in it’s most healthy form.

WHAT WE MUST BEWARE WHILE EARTH IS REVOLVING AROUND ITSELF:

                                 Inborn friendliness.

Despite our enormous brain capacity and inborn social friendliness, our gradually evolving psychology and its coping strategies, unfortunately adapts itself to an already unfriendly world.

                     Copying bad role models

This makes us consciously or unconsciusly copying the strategies of the dominant, competitive, vindictive and fiendish role models that apparently rule the world with their power.

                              Survival instincts

That approach is so to speak a survival instinct of man, in a warlike scene. This scene being our family, our schoolyard, at work or in business or politics, not to mention international affairs.

                The fight and conquer approach

Research tells us however, that our present and dominant mode of survival can be changed. This change  is possible, – only if we gradually realize that the “fight and conquer approach”, does not necessarily convey our true self as human beings.

            A world defined by power people

Instead it might be said to convey a rather skewed adaption to a somewhat skewed world. A world mostly defined by power people, with both money, and means to get their view of man out through all kinds of media. If that view of man is not mediated  by words,  it is perfectly mediated by recognizable pattern of actions.

      An obsolete an non-adaptive view of man.

Ever since philosopher Hobbes famous quote , “everybody’s war with everybody”, and Thomas H. Huxley’s misediting of the last edition of Charles Darwin’s “The Origin of Species”, this obsolete view of man has been ruling the world. And therefore capitalism in it’s attitude of constant growth and fight and conquer mentality, is imcompatible with what the world needs now! And therefore obsolete! Such non-curbed growth in human cells and bodies is called cancer.

For this reason we must change this negative view of man according to new research on the human brain, and on infants and children.

              Good input makes good output.

We know that both children and grown-ups, identify with important people in their surroundings. This impact from role models also models their own way of thinking, feeling and acting towards others and the world. It also models their sense of self, and their self-confidence. Children must learn early in life that the enviroment outside our home is as important as the physical and social environment inside our family and home.

What is the alternative: If the present obsolete and negative view of man is left there unchallenged, it will be difficult to cope with climate change, vast migration, uncurbed capitalism, and meaningless warfare.

Two days in the short life of Alan Kurdi, in the present world.

A new view of man necessary to cope with todays challenges.

If we continue business as usual, It will also make it very difficult to reconcile different religions, politics and continue building stabile societies,. It’s not a question of we and them, it’s us together in a mutual we, in an effort to rescue the world!

    Active on the old track, or a passive bystander?

Please accept that you need not be an active contributer to  the current situation in the world. Neither do you need to be a passive bystander to all this!

You are an extremely advanced organism. Act like it!

You have probably the most advanced brain and nervous system in our part of the Universe. Use it for all what it’s worth. That’s my challenge to you and me. That’s my reason for this website. (check frontpage: http://www.selvuniverset.com/
