The Solution Was the Problem

Lately there are a lot of reports floated by researchers phishing for increased unlimited funding, that the physical condition of people in the country (world) is bad and at the present rate, dooms humans to extinction. When problems come to our attention, usually they do not continue on unimpeded at their present rate of destruction because that awareness of the problem, causes problem-solvers to focus on a real solution, realizing that the present solution that makes things get worse, is obviously the problem.

Every solution is a short-term solution, and not The Final Solution demagogues promise, after which, no other problems will ever arise -- if we just let these dictators make all the decisions for everybody else, what is best for everybody, especially themselves -- of which all the refundable tax credits, have mysteriously ended up in their private bank accounts -- for their solutions.

Still the newspapers dutifully report, the problems get worse each year -- demanding even more government funding for these “experts.” The previous generation were quite spectacular failures at having established themselves as the unquestioned authorities on conditioning and well-being, because most of the fit, refused to join their ranks in exploiting and terrorizing the unfit. That is generally characteristic of the strong -- that they have no desire or need to exploit others, and have always been the most helpful to others.

But there are many more who confuse power for strength, and think that the strong spend all their time bullying and intimidating anybody they can -- in the same manner they think that intelligent people go around calling everybody else, “Stupid,” because they have no idea what it is that really intelligent people do. Along the way, they’ve seen a few people explode in rage that they were not accorded the treatment they truly deserved -- and thought that was how powerful and important people behaved, and that’s what they wanted to be too, if they ever were allowed to.

Many of them unfortunately, were drawn into the instruction professions because it allowed this exercise of power over complaisant captive populations -- until such abuses were so evident and unproductive, they were abandoned entirely, and so the condition of the population, rather than reaching the predicted highest actualizations, were only given lip-service while obviously avoided by anyone who could think of a good excuse. The best was that they were “Too busy,” because the suggested regimen demanded that participants discard every other priority and activity in their life, so that they could achieve their ultimate best condition, and would have little time, energy and money for anything else.

So this first generation of fitness optimization was a spectacular failure -- never quite deciding definitively who really knew what they were talking about, but if it sold, that must be the proof of something. People are always impressed by commercial success, even if the product they are selling, is totally worthless. And in fact, that was the primary if not exclusive motivation for many operating in the health field -- that their professed love for mankind, was about the love of the money of mankind.

So now the professional fund raisers and grant writers are asking these amateurs to step aside and let the real professionals take over and operate.
