And then these incentives can undermine the good intentions that got the ball rolling, so to speak. We see the effects of this today with government farm subsidies. These came about during The Great Depression in the 1930s. Farmers were plagued with damaging surpluses because no one had money to buy the crops. This caused agricultural prices to crash to the extent that it could have endangered the nation’s food supply if it bankrupted every farmer. So as an interim solution, the government created a program to pay farmers NOT to grow crops. The only problem is, what was meant to be a temporary stopgap turned into a chronic entitlement, with no end in sight, even though it’s been nearly a century since they started.

This phenomenon of “good” people doing bad things because “everyone’s doing it” seems to be a common theme in this world. Is this just a flaw in the human makeup, or can it be blamed on interloper manipulation?

Disposable batteries and fluorescent light bulbs are a good example. Both are considered toxic waste and almost everyone knows that they should not be just dumped in landfills but disposed of through careful recycling and recovery of the toxic components. Yet, the responsibility for proper disposal is placed fully on the consumer. Doing the “proper disposal” often means a long drive, wait, and expense to take these items to designated recycling centers which, on top of that, often have limited collection hours available. The result is “good” people who regret tossing their batteries into the ordinary garbage do it anyway because doing it right is simply too expensive in time, effort, and money. And even though ostensibly illegal to do so, there is virtually no enforcement to actually punish anyone for improper disposal.

For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Is Jesus here referring to the dangers of “following the crowd” in taking advantage of perverse incentives because “everyone is doing it?” What is Jesus really saying here?

This is starkly demonstrated with the Kenosha, Wisconsin demonstrations a few years ago. Wanting to protect private property from vandalism is arguably a good intention, and wanting to protest excessive police behavior is also arguably a good intention, yet it ultimately led to a self-defense shooting that resulted in dead and permanently maimed protestors, and a young man who narrowly escaped going to prison for life and who will live with that event forever haunting him.

Many have said that humans are an incentive-driven species perhaps more than good-intention-driven. Certainly, that can be said about the interlopers. In this discussion so far, we have not discussed bad-intention-driven actions that might create a good outcome. How much does karma take intention into account, versus what actually happens? Imagine a gang member on his way to murder a rival, who is ambushed and beaten but not killed. The one doing the beating becomes an unwitting hero of sorts. How does karma view this example? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 16 mins ago • Problems in Society0 views0 answers0 votesSo much of being a good person appears to go way beyond having good intentions. And the saying, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions,” speaks to this. It appears there is simply no substitute for wisdom, and being able to successfully parse out likely results that run counter to good intentions and first impressions—BEFORE taking action. Because “An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure,” how can Empowered Prayer, the Lightworker Healing Protocol, Deep Subconscious Mind Reset, and Divine Life Support help the good intentioned person successfully navigate the minefield of perverse incentives that are all too common in this world today?ClosedNicola asked 20 mins ago • Problems in Society0 views0 answers0 votesCan you give us a new case study example of an individual or group benefited by the Lightworker Healing Protocol and Deep Subconscious Mind Reset, for use in an upcoming Divine Life Support webinar (December, 2024)?ClosedNicola asked 48 mins ago • Divine Life Support0 views0 answers0 votesAre we at risk of missing the gold reset being so focused on waiting to see the tidal power outages, to start the ramping up of events leading to Disclosure?

People long for certainty, for predictability, for confidence and not just in themselves but in those around them. They long for stability, for reliability, and for longevity. And yet, it seems that more than ever, certainty in almost ANYTHING is in short supply. You cannot count on ANYTHING anymore! Whether it’s your favorite restaurant surviving the next downturn, your job surviving the next reorganization, your kids making it to adulthood without a life-threatening chronic disease, your new refrigerator working when the warranty expires, etc. You would think you could at least count on the sun rising tomorrow, but the sun might be our very demise! Is this all an exaggeration? Am I reading too much into all this?

It seemed like you couldn’t pick up a paper or magazine without some local establishment making this boast. Family businesses were truly FAMILY businesses. Children took over from their parents, grandchildren from their parents, and on and on. Businesses grew slowly, if at all, but what business they had was stable, predictable, and reliable. Their suppliers were often in business as long or longer than they were. Things changed slowly, if at all. And when they did change, it was considered progress with an expectation for improvement, otherwise WHY CHANGE? Store layouts often never changed for a century or more. For a place like a hardware store, this was important so things could be located quickly. But now frequent change is the norm. Was this movement away from this kind of stability inevitable with progress?

Businesses, organizations, and even schools change their logos often—their mascots, color schemes, building designs, interior layouts, you name it, ALL of it undergoes FREQUENT transformation. It seems like the paint barely gets a chance to dry before the “pardon our dust” signs are out in force again. It always seemed wasteful to me, not to mention inconvenient and bothersome. If these businesses really wanted to please me, moving the mayonnaise from aisle 2 to aisle 5 is not a way to do that. I’m sure every college-level marketing course teaches that “studies say” this is all necessary and beneficial to the bottom line. But is it REALLY? I hate feeling like a stranger in my own town. Am I alone in that sentiment? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 weeks ago • Problems in Society43 views0 answers0 votesThen there’s the “model year.” MODEL YEAR? When did that become a “thing?” You hardly get a chance to become familiar with the current inventory before it’s all swept away and replaced by the “new models.” Wouldn’t a MODEL DECADE make more sense, especially when you consider how much things like tooling costs? Again, it seems incredibly wasteful to spend so much time and energy changing EVERYTHING. It’s exhausting and even disorienting. Not to mention trying to keep any of these items working beyond the warranty. Parts are in limited supply, and many items are now being made to be “non-repairable” and disposable, cell phones being a prime example. Do I really need a new phone EVERY YEAR? And nowadays the new stuff is noticeably inferior to the stuff it’s replacing. But people just assume all this is natural and inevitable.
