If part of Genius is the attainment of unprecidented insight, I bet we each have seen bits of it, post your's here.

....any snippet of thought you find to be Genius level.

If we do need to learn new ways of thinking, thinking that includes more of the real world, and more scientific fact, then part of that is replacing the narratives we're fed through the TV news with different ones that better reflect the world we live in, while also providing direction forward.

My contribution was given by a fellow FC member,


I don't remember his name, but another member on FC said he thought as long as the media was able to portray poor people being caught with small amounts of drugs that viewers would not care about them, and so they are able to stall the war on poverty.


I think that's Genius, the "war on drugs" as a blot against the "war on poverty"
disturbing, but genius

one more addition in narratives that should be replaced:
"Drug Users use drugs to get high," should be replaced with "stressed people self-medicate, often to alleviate whats' called Reward Deficiency Syndrome"

There is a great book out called " The new Jim Crow " about how drug laws are used to legally discriminate people, it is really good and applies to us...
