A resolution is necessary for healthy progression
A music festival in Sweden intended to destroy negative views about refugees with thirty thousand attendees has resulted in many cases of rape and sexual assaults by migrants, including the rape of a young girl in the middle of the audience who was then hospitalized, another reported attempted rape, at least six other sexual assaults, as well as dozens of other complaints of assaults.

Cleveland Browns football player Isaiah Crowell posted and then later deleted an image from his Instagram account showing a hooded man slitting the throat of a police office in a manner reminiscent of beheadings carried out by the Islamic State. Crowell will keep his job with the NFL after issuing apologies.
Crowell posted the image after news was reported of Philando Castile in Falcon Heights, Minnesota, and Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana being fatally shot by police, but before the five police officers were killed in Dallas last Thursday.
Crowell then released a written apology through the Browns which was initially deemed insincere by the Cleveland police union who threatened to boycott working Browns games, and he later posted a video apology on his Facebook account and pledged to donate his first game check of $35,000 from his $1.54 million contract to a police union foundation, prompting the president of the union Steve Loomis to state “I’m glad we didn’t have to go the route of boycotting Browns games. We would not have enjoyed that. We wanted to give Isaiah the opportunity to make things right, and he did.” Loomis also said he’d love to work with Crowell in the future to help solve some of the city’s problems.

A French mayor Natacha Bouchart has ordered that the Calais refugee camp that is housing over 7,000 migrants be shut down after countless reports of physical and sexual assaults, riots, and violent outbreaks, saying that doing so is “absolutely urgent for this town, its people and its businesses.” She also stated that she hopes the demolition of the camp will result in the immigrants leaving for Britain.
Most of the migrants have passed over relocating to Muslim countries in the hopes of receiving European benefits, often leaving their women and children behind, and many commit crimes and many consider terrorist groups such as ISIS as being a “positive influence on their country.”

From this MadWorldNews article: “While walking by a church, a group of Muslims overheard a female Christian pastor preaching the sermon instead of her husband. The gang burst into the church, hacked away at the woman with knives, and beheaded her in front of her congregation. ..”
From this MadWorldNews article: “Two Muslim migrants were convicted of participating in the mass sex attacks that left hundreds of women victims of sexual assault on New Year’s Eve. After being found guilty, the judge let them walk free from the courtroom with only probation. However, as soon as the victims saw their molesters leaving the courthouse, they knew exactly what the judge had done.”
Note: Following are some thoughts that I’ve reworked from what I’ve posted on this site some years ago. I’ve since changed this site to be in a blog format.
Everybody’s individual reality is unique, but a common “shared reality” does exist. An example of shared reality would be the laws of physics always behaving in a similar way in everybody’s reality, for example the laws of gravity always acting consistently for everybody.
I believe that the Universe is capable of thinking and intervening in shared reality. The fact that conscious thought and self-awareness exist within each of us proves that it is theoretically possible for such an abstract notion as thought to exist in the Universe. The Universe tends to organize itself into fractals and subsets, and I believe that larger fractals of thought exist in the Universe.
There is no scientific proof of whether randomness actually exists or not, for example science is not able to accurately quantify turbulence, such as by not being able to exactly predict the way billowing cloud will behave. I believe randomness is a method that the thinking Universe uses for intervening in shared reality.
While exponentially increasing technology is empowering humanity as a whole, it also serves to increase the destructive abilities of increasingly smaller groups of individuals. If the level of beneficial restructuring of societies does not keep pace with the exponential increase in technology, there may exists a “flash point” potentially harming or destroying all life on the planet. This destruction could be caused by corrupt or poorly configured governments or by aberrant independent individuals. This “flash point” is a statistical certainty if appropriate restructuring does not take place in time.
People know what they experience, and everyone is capable of changing their mind. People’s individual realities are made up of their own accumulated thoughts and experiences, and I believe it is possible for anyone to change their mind about anything based on new experiences or by learning information which forms a solid logical basis.
Having a good attitude about acting on positive intentions may invite assistance from the Universe. I believe that although the Universe is sensitive to the suffering of life on this planet, it may have limited power to intervene and rather relies on offering “helpful turbulence” useful to those who are willing to help try to make a positive difference in their own lives and in the lives of others.
Whether one believes that it is a thinking Universe or not, there is undoubtedly benefit in having a good attitude about doing what is necessary to improve your situation and the situation of others.
Today is the launch of this newly blog-formatted Open Minded Realism website.
This blog is continually a work in progress. Technical enhancements are on the way..
