Politics is a highly tribal business.

Politics is a highly tribal business.

Summary

This quote highlights the inherently tribal nature of politics. It suggests that politics often revolves around loyalty and belonging to particular groups or factions. Political engagement is frequently driven by a strong sense of identity and the desire to champion one's own group's interests or ideologies. This tribalism can, at times, hinder cooperation and compromise, as individuals tend to prioritize the stance and success of their own tribe over the greater good. It highlights the need for increased dialogue and understanding across political tribes to foster collaboration and effective governance.

Now, these men weren't idiots. They were geniuses who paid a high price for their genius because the rest of their thinking was other-world. A genius is someone who travels to truth by an unexpected path. Unfortunately, unexpected paths lead to disaster in everyday life.

Our thinking is inconsistent with what we actually see. The eye is a perfect, natural organ. The seen image is a reaction phenomenon. Using an artificial optical apparatus, the same effect, for example, can only be obtained by a roundabout way, by means of a negative. The eye, on the other hand, immediately presents us with the diapositive, namely the true image. Our sight constitutes an unconscious, automatic transformation process, through which the negative image - like a photographic negative - (i.e. the effect), is transformed into a positive one, like a diapositive color slide. Our thinking, however, is really a purely individual, conscious process and therefore learnable. If our thinking is to attain the same perfection as our seeing, then we must change our way of thinking and learn to see reality, not as an action, but as a reaction. Perfect thought lies in the apprehension of the correct reaction, for before the eye can show us the positive, it must first transform the negative and in a certain manner must break up what it records. What we see therefore, is the turning inside out of what we receive. What our mind grasps in this way must be re-formed and re-thought if we wish to attain what we strive for.http://www.frank.germano.com/viktorschauberger_b.htm
