  The Globalization Myth - Why...

  A case for why regionalization, not globalization, has been the biggest economic trend of the past forty years 
   
   
   
  The conventional wisdom about globalization is wrong. Over the past forty years as companies, money, ideas, and people went abroad more often than not, they looked regional rather than globally. O'Neil details this transformation and the rise of three major regional hubs in Asia, Europe, and North America. Current technological, demographic, and geopolitical trends look only to deepen these regional ties. O'Neil argues that this has urgent implications for the United States. Regionalization has enhanced economic competitiveness and prosperity in Europe and Asia. It could do the same for the United States, if only it would embrace its neighbors.

  Emotional abuse is one of the most insidious forms of mistreatment, often leaving deep psychological wounds that are not immediately visible. Unlike physical abuse, which leaves external scars, emotional abuse erodes a person’s sense of self-worth, independence, and emotional stability over time. It can occur in various relationships, including romantic partnerships, family dynamics, friendships, workplaces, and even societal structures. Understanding what emotional abuse is, how it manifests, and the long-term effects it has on victims is essential for recognizing and addressing it. 
  At its core, emotional abuse is a pattern of behavior aimed at controlling, belittling, or manipulating another person through psychological means. This can include gaslighting, where the abuser makes the victim question their own reality, constant criticism that undermines self-confidence, and emotional withholding, where love and affection are used as tools for control. Unlike one-time conflicts or disagreements, emotional abuse is a repeated, systematic approach that leaves the victim feeling trapped, powerless, and unworthy. 
  One of the most damaging aspects of emotional abuse is that it often happens gradually, making it difficult for victims to recognize. Many victims rationalize or minimize their experiences, believing that they are overreacting or that the abuser’s behavior is justified. Emotional abusers often shift blame onto their victims, making them feel responsible for the mistreatment. This cycle of manipulation creates emotional dependency, where the victim feels unable to leave the abusive situation due to fear, guilt, or the hope that things will improve.

  Attention implies that there is no centre - 22 June 1975 
  • Consciousness, because it is in constant movement, has never found an energy 
  which is not contradictory, which is not produced by desire and thought. 
  • Can thought ever see its own movement and the futility of its own movement? • Attention implies that there is no centre. 
  • Is there a perception, a seeing outside the space which is part of consciousness? • Therearetwohumanbeings,onegetsconditionedandtheotherdoesn’t.Why? 
  How has it happened the other doesn’t get conditioned? 
  • How does this perception which is beyond attention, beyond awareness, 
  beyond concentration come about? 
  • Thought is rather superficial, it’s merely a very small part of the operation of the 
  brain. 
  • Can consciousness be completely empty of its content? • Order and disorder
