Produktbeschreibung

I spent most of my life trying to understand my dismissive avoidant attachment disorder. I sought the help of psychiatrists who were not acquainted with my disorder and were not able to help when, long ago, my daughter and I consulted them. However, I have since successfully diagnosed my condition which now has a name.
Today, as I look around me, I see that the FOMO generation is suffering from my condition to varying degrees, and I want to help. That is why I decided to transcribe a conversation I should have had with my daughter who came to live with me forty years ago, and who has since become estranged from me.
The conversation is about how apes became intelligent, how religion became a societal necessity, and how it fused with political power in 325 of the Common Era as it tried to counter the forces of lust, greed and envy that had stripped away our ape innocence. It is unfortunate that, today, the state-religion combo, through its educational system, unwittingly encourages us to opt for consumerism instead of helping us discover our talents. However, thanks to the fabulous world of credit that was created in 1781, we now have the possibility, for the first time in human history, to choose between a beauty or a beast lifestyle: the first where we pursue nurturing and creative activities, and the latter where lust, greed and envy rules.
In having this virtual conversation, I mean to encourage young people to focus on their talents in order to eventually do what they love to do for a living, and to only use the educational system as needed. If they succeed, they will hopefully escape the diploma-high-paying-job trap and become fulfilled doers instead of bankrupt consumers. Using their talent earning a living would make them eager to get going in the morning, like wanting, as a grower, to go and see how their hothouse strawberry idea is doing, or, as an African park ranger, wanting to check on the new litter of lion cubs.

Autorenporträt

I'm a Canadian male baby boomer of French descent educated in English. Born in extreme poverty, I managed to escape my predicament by forever acting like a proverbial 2-year-old who never stops asking the question "why", but one who refuses to accept flippant answers. I studied the existentialists at the postgraduate level and just kept on going. I eventually discovered how our credit world came to be, what a great world it is, and how difficult it is for us, intelligent animals, to adapt to it. I felt the need to share my findings.
