    In my experience, we don't have a healthcare system.
    We have a profit maximizing disease exploitation system.

    Thanks again Dr. The use of stories in propaganda is well practiced. What’s interesting is the lack of understanding in the general public who continue to be influenced by this. For this and many reasons, your work here is very important, particularly in our present world situation. Politics aside, personal development is an important factor in positive collective change and your channel contributes to that.

    4:28 two tours, Baghdad, 2003-2006, FST. I pay the price but not for “bloodshed” writ large, Doc. I pay the price for the innocents I hurt in the process of pursuing a fantasy: I was saving America-a country which was never in danger from a dictator we installed. The bloodshed I perpetrated was primarily to save myself and my brothers from otherwise certain death in most cases. But not all cases.
    I suffer with the fact that our blood and the blood of Iraqis was spilled at the behest of exactly the kinds of corporations as the one headed by the now interred CEO. That man was more my enemy, more your enemy, and more the enemy of any sub-billionaire American than any Iraqi ever was, including Hussein.
    When I took the oath to defend my country, I never took it back. They abused that oath and THAT is what I struggle with, Doc. Don’t get caught in your own narrative. Luigi Mangione is no more guilty of murder than I am as this CEO was a combatant in an empirically obvious, bloody class war.

      Very powerful, thanks for sharing this. You really are understanding what I was trying to say. EXACTLY. Veterans like us get this more than most people. Though I was never in combat, I was a part of the system as a military physician.

    It seems to me that antihero stories help us to understand why people become evil, which can a) help us prevent our own children from becoming evil, b) help us rehabilitate misbehaving people in our society, and c) help us to see ourselves as redeemable when we're not perfect. The best antihero stories carry a redemption-arc, or at least the hope of one, like the Xena series, Marvel's version of Loki, or Mariner in "Star Trek: Below Decks." Often redeemed bad guys die doing something good, like Theoden in "The Lord of the Rings", or Sydney Carlton in "A Tale of Two Cities". They exist because too black and white a view of anything damages a society (we're seeing that right now with Democrats and Republicans seeing each other not just as mistaken but as evil.) They teach us nuance.

    Its not meaning but subjective experiences , the meaning is created in social context.

    Bigger question, Why is "everyone" it seems all people--assuming guilt on this guy? We live in a country that is "supposed" to have a a legal system that claims INNOCENT until proven guilty, NOT the other way around. We have a corrupt system, how do we know Luigi's manifesto is his? We don't know. the video guy here does not know and is assuming... be intelligent by realizing you do not know the truth of another. period.

    • @theimaginarium
      @theimaginarium  Місяць тому +1

      That is true. Even though he basically admitted it and gave a manifesto, it is still possible that Mangione is innocent. I can concede that, certainly. Time will tell. Wasn't really the point of the video, but it's a fair point.

      The media and FBI (who both have a record of being totally transparent and not corrupt) blasted his face and information everywhere in a way you can't ever come back from even if found innocent. And as expected (many) Americans ate it all up because, well, we know about their level of intelligence. Sigh. Will they ever learn?
