“The next time the Supreme Court meets, it should be in a mental institution, while under observation.”
-David Jackson
I’m searching for a prime phrase to make visible the madness—the neural pathology—of the five conservative Supreme Court justices currently serving on the highest court in the land: Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney-Barrett.
It starts with:
- How does one make sense out of the irrational dictates of the neurotic distortions of human rights?
- How is this supposed to rationally guide the common interest?
- How do individuals with mental and emotional dysfunctions hold the position of supreme judges in our society, then dictate distorted values from their base of irrational feelings?
- How can it be that this is what guides the rational path of humanity and the American community of 3.3 billion citizens?
It is an important challenge to put the phrasing of neurological distortions into a clear vision (of what I think) to be an emotional distortion of the social vision of rational democratic freedom and informed democratic governing.
Since it was Mother’s Day this last weekend . . . how many children, over the past 75 years, were conceived with conscious family planning and choice?
Do we not have a population problem of too many humans for the Earth’s environment to sustain itself? Why would we not want the choice of whether or not to continue on this self destructive path of unsustainability?
Meanwhile, the guns are loaded and the females are the targets.
The picture I am suggesting here is one of informed greater awareness. The large global portion of humans in society are living with extreme mental and emotional ignorance, and at the same time, captured in feelings, captured in unconscious pathologies of temperamental reactions, unaware of the origins in limitations in their neural character and its chemical stimulations that drive response and reaction. A significant number of the world’s populations are unaware of this biological structure that determines physical function and behavior unique to each and every species on the planet. This is not always balanced and/or healthy.
To list a few:
The psychosis of neural narcissism, leading to pathologies of self importance and exclusion:
- psychosis
- neurosis
- emotional incoherence . . .
All leading up to emotional and mental distortions, including interactive dysfunction that is imposed on others—anger, hate, lack of empathy with emotional disregard for others. Questions arise regarding the interaction of stimulus, chemical interactions that are absent within each of us— including genetic patterns and limitations.
It may be that the story of tyranny has much to do with the defective chemical composition and neural stimulus of the ego’s DNA—making the singularity of self importance the priority—that smothers and voids any empathy or respect for all who don’t acknowledge them.
Many of the distortions of thinking are confused with ideologies and dreams that don’t match the reality of experience. Propaganda, war, and laws that attempt to confine freedom of thought and feeling, so as to sustain the egos of leadership in their delusion of superiority, especially that of the self-righteous who claim the endowment of gods. This story has been one of chaos and pain, as we have walked the path of individual rights underneath the umbrella of democracy.
There will be no solution to this until the neural health and balance of leaders, as well as the citizens themselves who vote, is tested, in order to meet a minimum standard of competence. One should at least have an open mind and heart, an intention of goodwill, and an acceptance of the infinite differences among us.
A Supreme Court justice—man or woman—is only human, not a god, who should most certainly be measured by their knowledge of that which they make determinations on, and the interest of justice for humankind, including the natural world that sustains us all.
