Good day, all!
I do not know how the word oxymoron evolved. Maybe a moron or a set of morons formed it, and eventually such terms get accepted.
Nations keeping their sense of nation can never come together. United and union have the same origin, and in this world of uniqueness, I am dead against unions. Associations are the better way to represent togetherness, keeping the differences intact. I still feel that the attitude of the American musicians in that performance, USA for Africa, We Are the World, in 1985, has a better sense. Also, the terms like developing and developed, used to differentiate the countries, are quite a stagnant way. Many countries were in decline, and many were coming up. Both. Developed doesn't mean it will stay developed or keep progressing. They can decline too. All of them need specific approach to do good to them.
My interaction with the so-called United Nations is primarily through my profession, and that part is called the International Maritime Organisation. A lot of morons are sitting up there too. With so many maritime accidents and failures, they still say "safety first". They make the checklist, toolbox meetings, and risk analysis and end up in disasters. They are not even verbally saying that "safety always" should be the motto. It may change the mindset of the people. I can never stop talking if I take up the harm they have done to this industry.
United Nations evolved out of political ways. I posted something about us giving politics a bad name is still very much valid. Just because when I say politicians, they are also a part of me, or rather, they thrive on me. Science is supposed to prevail over politics, but the issue is that the working methods of science and politics are different. Science uses Guinea Pigs, whereas politics uses people instead. From olden-day conquests to present-day politics, I see no difference. Sacrificial goats are plenty, happy to oblige.
Another difference is that scientists are supposed to have high intelligence, but then morons also have intelligence. Shrewdness may be the term I prefer to use for this type of intelligence. And that is the reason why politicians are more powerful than people of science. Just that politicians are happy when people die for a cause which they can justify. Science needs a lot of thinking before action, but a well-qualified moron can be as fast as lightning.
More on this later...
