“When I was a kid people used to say one could travel the entire world just by sitting in a library and reading books. Sadly, in the age of billionaire-controlled social media functioning and governing bodies and minds based on carefully engineered algorithms, I don’t believe this is true anymore. The saying should be revised in our times to be ‘one could hate the entire world and see everyone as a villain or an enemy just by browsing through reels and social posts carefully selected to confirm one’s limited knowledge, perspective, and prejudices.’ With that in mind, we need more than ever to master the art of traveling, whether we go near or far. We need to undo the unreasonable, amplified, and exaggerated fear of strangers." [From “Can We Travel Without Being Tourists?” published on CounterPunch on March 15, 2024]”

“The greatest threat to Mankind, and all of life on this beautiful Planet, is not Climate Change, Over Population, Terrorism, Racism, Resource Scarcity or some Deadly Disease. No, the greatest threat to Mankind is the same today as it was over a thousand years ago; We are ruled by Parasitical Psychopaths who plunge us into war, manipulate us against each other, and flood our minds with fear, hate, bigotry and ignorance with every chance they get.”

“We learn from traveling that it makes a huge difference to simply acknowledge and greet each other; to ask whenever possible or appropriate, whether someone is alright; and most importantly to foil the plans and intentions of fear and warmongers using every medium and platform to get us to distrust, hate, and be afraid of each other, or to beware of strangers."
