Reducing the availability of flesh-shredding death machines is an easy band-aid to put on the problem. Australia seems to have made some progress doing that.<br /><br />But I concur with Bob and Julie. The over-arching cause is societal mores. Good luck getting any traction on those with "interventions." Prayer does indeed seem like the only thing to do.<br /><br />Leftism is now well and truly established, and I would estimate, as a historian, that regression to past (better) societal conditions is only a remote possibility. So humanity is going to have to make leftism "work" as best it can.<br /><br />The ultimate goal is decent living conditions in a setting of a space-faring, high technology culture with a high potential to evade extinction of the species. Inner conditions of spiritual growth will, as always, be up to the individual. We cannot expect any help from society on that quarter. <br /><br />As you note, Bob, the practice of traditional psychology in the leftist milieu is rough, and will only get rougher until it will be impossible. Fortunately you will retire before things get to that stage.

I can't even imagine becoming a psychologist today. Truly, it has become just another leftist cult. Sample offerings:<br /><br />--Serving Undocumented College Students: A Social Justice Lens for Clinical and Institutional Responsiveness<br />--Working with LGBT Clients: 5 Ways to Miss the Boat and 5 Ways to Get on Board<br />--RxP: A Prescription for Social Justice and a New Opportunity for Psychologists<br />--Diversity Town Hall: When Psychology Becomes Political<br /><br />I'd like to give a seminar called, I don't know, Practicing Traditional Psychology in a Climate of Progressive Hate and Delusion.

Really, it was one extremely broken man. There's not much we can do about that, other than try to love our families as best we can so that fewer people will follow that broken path. Nobody has the power to legislate away the evil that lurks in such brokenness, but many of the proposed "solutions" help to make things much worse.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-80415817064138606542018-02-16T11:10:01.870-08:002018-02-16T11:10:01.870-08:00Yes, exactly what I'm trying to say:
