In an attempt to deal with the problem, the British authorities decided to pay a bounty for every cobra killed and turned in to authorities. But ironically, the problem didn’t get “better,” it actually got worse. Why? Because some people started taking advantage of this bounty by actually breeding cobras. When the authorities found out about this, they abruptly ended the program. The result of which was that all these breeders released all their cobras, and the problem, in the end, was worse than ever. So The Cobra Effect is a kind of human folly with serious consequences. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 days ago • Problems in Society49 views0 answers0 votesThe Cobra Effect teaches us that good intentions can create perverse incentives. 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. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 days ago • Problems in Society31 views0 answers0 votesA practitioner asks: “Creator has often mentioned moral principles for living and these have historically been presented in major religions, passed on in societies, and are represented again in GetWisdom. However, some say that moral understanding is not best absorbed from authority figures but constructed through personal experiences, interactions, and reflections. Individuals integrate new moral insights with their existing moral beliefs to form a coherent moral perspective. To what extent is it through reflection that individuals assess the consequences of their actions, reconsider their moral principles, and adjust their behavior accordingly? How can LHP practitioners best grow their moral perspectives?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Subconscious Mind72 views0 answers0 votesA practitioner asks: “Many people have behaviors that are unhelpful at best or harmful to themselves or others. People generally know this about themselves but do not make changes. Despite many models of behavior change developed by researchers from psychology, sociology, public health, etc., reflecting a broad range of approaches to understanding and influencing behavior, their effectiveness is often limited and short-lived. What can be learned from these shortcomings and limitations? What is a better perspective and tactics for deeper and more permanent change in, for example, alcohol consumption, exercise, and healthy eating? Would making specific requests targeted at specific behaviors in LHP-DSMR requests be best?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Subconscious Mind76 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Creator has previously shared the Ten Divine Principles for Living, suggesting there is an objective morality independent of human thinking which people can become more aware of by studying sacred texts or communicating with Creator. Human secular philosophy has also developed theories on how things should or ought to be based on mainly three perspectives. The first perspective from human secular philosophy is based on rules, duties, and obligations.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 months ago • Divine Guidance92 views0 answers0 votesHe continues: “The second perspective from human secular philosophy is based on happiest outcomes for the greatest number.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 months ago • Divine Guidance85 views0 answers0 votesHe continues: “The third perspective from human secular philosophy is based on what kind of person one should be and how one should live.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 months ago • Divine Guidance76 views0 answers0 votesHe continues: “To what extent are the Divine and Human perspectives irreconcilable?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 months ago • Divine Guidance84 views0 answers0 votesHe continues: “Is the human philosophy of morality simply misconceived? Is being religiously moral more helpful?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 months ago • Divine Guidance98 views0 answers0 votesWe think of inner corruption as being impairment of moral principle, virtue, or values. Since it is assumed that no being is created “corrupt,” then inner corruption is somehow an acquired state of existence. Can Creator weigh in on this definition, as well as address the concept of “original sin” in terms of our spiritual origins as beings?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Human Corruption528 views0 answers0 votesWhile it is assumed no being is created in a state of corruption, clearly some individual beings or souls appear more susceptible to inner mental corruption than others. Because who and what we are as newly created consciousness at the birth of our souls is endowed and not chosen, it seems unfair that some would have greater vulnerability than others. Is there any truth to this supposition, or are all equally vulnerable to inner corruption?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Human Corruption388 views0 answers0 votesRare is the human mind that is not chaotic and stressful, at least some of the time. There is an assumption that one’s mind is one’s own, but if we’ve learned anything in this project, it’s that the human mind is anything but isolated and subject only to influences arriving from the five senses. People may think that is the case, but the reality is dramatically different. Can Creator comment on this notion of the mind being one’s own and how much of it shaped from influences other than the five senses?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Human Corruption391 views0 answers0 votesOne of the hallmark traits of the corrupted soul is the enigmatic belief in their entitlement, that Creator, the universe, or the poor soul they are manipulating owes them something, if only as a proxy to the truly responsible party causing them harm. Can Creator comment on where in Hades they got this idea?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Human Corruption407 views0 answers0 votesAnother seeming belief that the corrupted possess is the idea that their suffering is somehow license or currency that excuses their abuse of others. The flaw in their thinking is that in the real world, currency has universal value to everyone, but NO ONE wants someone else’s suffering in trade for anything. Where does this completely illogical notion come from?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Human Corruption345 views0 answers0 votesAnother false belief of many corrupted souls is that they are already damned and irredeemable. They appear to honestly believe they have no future, or a desirable future in any sense, so their motto seems to become “eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die.” They seem to believe that one can only become damned once, and having crossed that threshold, they have nothing more to lose, and may find it oddly liberating. Can Creator comment on whether this is not only wrong, but a tragically foolhardy notion?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Human Corruption335 views0 answers0 votes
