Development space depends on talent and training

Virtually every person can run, but some are much better at it than others. And this is actually true for all things in our lives. One person becomes a professor and the other works on an assembly line. One speaks seven languages and the other is illiterate. One gets along with people easily and the other is autistic. Everyone can do everything, but not all can do it equally well.

Whether you can do something depends mainly on talent and training. If you are born with the talent to be able to run hard, then running comes easier to you than those who were not born with that talent. If you train hard to be able to speak many languages, then you can express yourself better in different languages than those who do not train. Talent is innate and you can train yourself.

However, what we must realize is that training is in fact also a talent. After all, why doesn’t everyone go to college, assuming that virtually everyone has the same volume of brain. I’m not saying we should all go to college, but everyone could be capable of doing so. But some people feel like training and others don’t.

Feeling like something can be called a talent. Being able to learn can be called a talent. Being curious and eager to learn can be called a talent. Of course you can train yourself to (better) use these talents. But the fact remains that we are born with our own specific set of qualities, talents, which largely determine how we go about our lives.

To wake up

When we look around us, we regularly find that others are not awake. Those others do not see what we do see. We are aware and those others are not. The funny thing is that those others experience the same thing when they look at us. Who says we are right? Maybe we are wrong and we are not awake (enough). It depends on which angle you are looking from.

But if being able to see from multiple perspectives is an art, then that is also a talent. Maybe you don’t feel like making an effort to explore multiple angles at all. You can argue that you can make sense, but that is highly questionable. If it were that simple, we as humanity would be well advanced in civilization by now.

We look for explanations why others are not awake, why others do not see what we see. To us, after all, it is so obvious. If those others knew what we know, they would be on our side in no time. It is not difficult for these others to absorb our knowledge, but they do not do it. We do, or at least we say we do.

Psychologists write books on cognitive dissonance. We know the power of peer pressure. Religions and cults can determine our thinking. Governments have elevated propaganda to an art. There are all sorts of explanations about why people don’t wake up. But can people who are asleep wake themselves up? And what if they were not born with that talent?

Wanting to wake up

Does everyone want to wake up? Can everyone want to wake up? Someone may want to wake up, but can that person. If everyone can do everything, then waking up must be among the possibilities. If someone has little talent for waking up, then with training that person should still be able to come a long way. Will someone then train? Can that person then train?

How much effort do you make to help another person when that person does not want to? Why do you put so much effort into waking up another person when they themselves don’t want to? How much effort do you put into waking yourself up? Are you yourself open to becoming more awake and can you be extremely critical of yourself in doing so? Do you understand that you yourself are probably not fully awake?

If one of you can already run well and the other is just starting out, you can choose to train separately but you can also train together. It takes effort for both, but is the only way to move forward together. It is the challenge for all wakes. And because everyone wakes (and sleeps) in their own way, it is a challenge for everyone.

The most important thing is to realize that waking up is its own process that you enter into for yourself and not to wake others up. It is true that you can wake up together, but each in their own way and at their own pace. This is not about politicians, directors or journalists. It is about ordinary people, because those are the ones who are allowed to wake up.

US Navy Is About To Go Big On Massive Joint War Training Across The Pacific

Here is the article and it may be full of hot air. Why I’m posting it is to confirm the many warnings that we’ve had from people like Brian Berletic and others, that the aim is China.

There is a strong motivation with the current trade war to either regime change China or to destroy their economic ability. Secondly, the objective to split the relationship between China and Russia continues.

Neither of these two motivations have a hope of success, yet the drang continues on any available trajectory. We live in a world where war is the objective, and not necessarily winning a war. Chaos is also just fine as an objective. Here we can take Syria as an example of the many years that it took to regime change Syria.

Part of the plan is to start training for a combined arms war against China. These people are preparing for the mother of all wars if the current trade war does not meet the objectives of taking down China, or breaking the relationship between Russia and China.

What is just criminal is that the Trade War has as objective that the rest of the world need to fund this drang to war. The empire cannot exist without war as their military-industrial structure cannot exist without war. If we start looking at the objectives in the big scheme of things, removing resistance in West Asia / Middle East via Netanyahu, to be part of the war theater, forms a part of the objective.

Limited excerpts in order not to amplify the message:

“The U.S. Department of Defense is starting to rehearse how its joint forces will fight as an integrated team across a massive battlespace in future war against China, rather than each of its services conducting their own maneuvers to practice for the same kind of scenario. In doing so, the aim is to get a much clearer idea in terms of requirements of what is needed to make such a complex combat engagement work. Prior to this sea-change, critical requirements generation wasn’t being done effectively or efficiently, according to Vice Adm. Michael Boyle, Director of Navy Staff within the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, who laid out the Navy’s vision at the Sea-Air-Space Conference this week in National Harbor, Maryland.”

The goal is to bring down China, and they will go to war to try and accomplish this.

“For example, a war with China in the Indo-Pacific would involve joint forces, allies, and partners fighting over vast geographic expanses, with the requirement to operate in an expeditionary capacity in the face of unprecedented high-threat weapons engagement zones.”
