The best insurance is never for sale
“We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.”
― Plato
There are three principle fears in this world: The Fear of Death, The Fear of Illness and The Fear of Poverty. These fears rule humanity.
Bleeding through from an unseen realm, fear exists exclusively as a mental image creating nightmares from unconscionable real world behaviours. And in terms of the last few years, COVID in particular, there’s little doubt that societal derangement was catalyzed primarily by fear that was inflamed by a media blitzkrieg of highly influential politicians, celebrities and so-called expert authorities endlessly regurgitating the party line. While unbelievable to witness, this tremendous fear paralyzed the “normal folk” and plunged western life into a stifling ambient drone horror, which has been followed by a deafening silent amnesia as a traumatic cope.
Overreacting to fear didn’t prevent nightmares, but rather let the monsters in.
Once the monsters took control they promised Oz, a portal at the end of the yellow brick road leading back to prosperity through rituals and various snake oils. Promises to prevent death, cure illness and outskirt poverty.
But the damn skeptics stood in the way…
"You will surely die without the vaccine."
"Should we provide ‘the selfish’ with healthcare?"
"You deserve to be fired because actions have consequences."
Curse, threaten and coerce them! Sentence them to death!
Never — ever — forget the supreme rule of fear.
Although not real, demons are born from imagination’s dark womb and manifest outward through treachery. They breed in damp orgies of fear, desiring nothing less than to rule the world. Had you asked me years ago if evil was real, I would of laughed.
But now, my chuckles have been replaced by a despondent muteness.
Like King George slaying the dragon or Michael striking down Lucifer, fear must be confronted with triumphant courage, not cowardly avoidance. During the dark and paralyzing reign of COVID many succumbed to the unrelenting powers of fear and instead became drunk on their own self-aggrandizement, opting for some made-up “make safe” imagined assurance sold in a media narrative.
Derived from that seductive word assurance, insurance promises safety, security and guarantee if one is met by devastation; often mealy-mouthed as "realized loss." Participants pay fund premiums that provide accident compensation like car insurance which mitigates losses after an accident, or home insurance which mitigates losses from a fire. But over the years, its umbrella has extended to include business insurance, general insurance, crop insurance, employment insurance, health insurance, and so on and so forth. It’s big business. And even spawned other programs like pensions, which are a form of old age insurance.
Interestingly, insurance is not sold on the basis of practicality or analyzed results, instead its primary selling point is a “what if” or “aren’t you worried about…?” that roots, stems and blossoms from one or more of the principle ruling fears.
A small insurance payment is like a ritual sacrifice which keeps the demons at bay.
“Bran thought about it. 'Can a man still be brave if he's afraid?'
'That is the only time a man can be brave,' his father told him.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones
As a product, insurance has both positive and negative aspects. Insurance can make good on a promise when needed, but not always, especially when choices are limited.
Exiled from your career and fired for rejecting mass hysteria, your unemployment insurance is no longer valid despite your many years of contribution; the once comforting “social safety net” has dissolved like used toilet paper in the rain. A terrible fiction that even still has many idealists under its spell, which was one of the many nasty tricks pulled during COVID. Why can’t we opt out if we can’t collect?
Our hard earned contributions are siphoned by the administrative corporate state, through its plurality of bureaucracies, forcing us to beg some faceless clerk for mercy to access our own money. Public insurance as a “social safety net” sounds nice on paper, sometimes works in practice, but is a nasty heartless system.
The carrot and stick turns out to be a variety of snake oil and fear.
Fear creates an imagined reality of what may or may not happen, sparked by a collision between beliefs and perception which manifests outward as burning madness. To release the strangling terror choking the mind, bizarre behaviours are dispensed that attempt to extinguish these imagined fires which set the soul ablaze.
Although not physically real, fear is a necessary survival mechanism that manages perceived environmental hazards, which are real — very real, and our everyday lives are littered with these hazards which we tend perceive as harmless. For example, driving exposes both pedestrians and vehicle operators to a high energy kinetic hazard. But our minds do not analyze everyday life like a computer, and what we fear does not necessarily coincide with hazards that, perhaps, deserve more attention.
Instead, we fear far away imagined disasters while neighbourhood horrors are ignored.
Why?
When media floats fictional narratives that twist and contort our imaginations, we believe in a world that ironically will only exist from the fallout reactions of fear. A subject reacting to sensational images is true black magic, which as we’ve seen of late, is quite capable of summoning hordes of demons from the mouths of hell. You cannot catch a beach ball in a pool by splashing and flailing. Likewise flailing and screaming is unlikely to scare a monster away. It’s reactions that make fears real.
“I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.”
— Thomas Jefferson
Natural law always wins.
The ability to absolutely know and control everything is a foolish trick poised to slap idiots standing on the other side of a tensile stick. No matter how hard we fight or resist natural flow, what goes up must come down because every action has a reaction. Borrowing from the future to enjoy our high standard of living has dire consequences. Unfortunately, liabilities created during generations of lies have been transferred to a blissful and stupid public, unaware of the trap that’s been set.
All debts must be paid. Look at national and private debt!
Some pay with their bodies, through their blood, their sweat and their tears, or through their mind and spirit. Consequently, the multitude of vacant and sallow eyes should come as no surprise since you can easily purchase a short-lived illusion from a demon with sanity and integrity. Fear has turned so many into slaves. While at the moment our world appears to suffer a great injustice, those on the wrong side will have to pay. But the problem being, the naive masses have ignorantly accepted every consequence transferred to them by men seeking absolute powers from these demons.
A liar does not suffer justice if his mark accepts, that will be dealt to the naive fool.
Risk, a hazard and its probability, can either be accepted, avoided, mitigated or transferred. And while insurance transfers risk to a third party, there are some not-so-trivial hazards that cannot. No one else can protect you from being deceived by a liar, just like no one is responsible for your health and well being. It is naive to believe that fear can be abdicated by socializing dangers away. Not all insurance is for sale.
The best person to deal with your problems and protect you in the future meets you everyday in the mirror. Take a good look. Naturally the best insurance are the skills and prudence we develop within ourselves, and the trustworthy relationships we foster with each other. Which is not and never will be for sale.
You cannot buy courage and integrity, although it’s often for sale.
But there’s too much well beyond the scope of the individual, since humans cannot fight demons. For many of these grand problems, our community and shared virtue is the only protection for when the lower heavens reap harsh vengeance. And unless you’re a tested combat veteran, it’s best to avoid the battlefield been demons and gods.
We need the courage to put our values into practice by resisting the comforting temptations that sleepily lure us deeper into the various hell realms, which beckon and wail for the masses through those glittering portals of Oz.
The best insurance is your integrity which you better make sure is never for sale.
After my home insurance tried jacking my rates up over 30% a couple years ago, I cancelled. Best thing I ever did.
I've been carrying the most basic liability on my transports since I own them, finally own my home and living the dream.
I keep putting away what those payments might be, now I have a large emergency fund and I am my own insurance. The way it always has been.
The only thing that could impact me would me if my home just burns to the ground. In that case, it's God's will, and time to move on. And y'know what? I'll be just fine.
Bravo!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Insurance is such a scam
