What Is Wrong With Us? How Did Most of Us Guys Get So Dumb?

I am a guy. I know how dumb we can be and how dumb we often are. I have known many guys that would spend every single dime they make on weapons to go "kill" stuff. Meanwhile, having these neanderthals help raise a generation of Americans has not worked.

Women are the stronger part of this yin yang equation. We need both for harmony, peace, and enlightenment, but women have been pushed aside from their rightful place in history.

We need women to start educating themselves and steer this ship back on course before we hit a really big ice berg and end up destroying this incredible country.
This book is next on my reading list after I finish the five books I am digesting at the moment. I am overwhelmed with books right now, but Pam Reed is incredible.

She beat the guys and girls in the 135 mile Badwater run in 130 degree temperature and she didn't even feel hot at all. Women are stronger than us. They can endure more pain and can beat us and I really think they are smarter than us, but our media is pushing our entire society towards dumbing ourselves down.

I have met so many women and men who don't read. They spend the majority of their time watching t.v. shows that do nothing to educate us and very little to inspire us to get off the couch and DO something!

The picture below is from an article by Dr. Fuhrman showing what is happening to kids today on the SAD (Standard American Diet). We are killing our own kids with high fat foods.

The Tarahumara let women have an equal place in society and they have no cancer, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, war, theft, running injuries, carbon emissions or any of the other problems we have created in this society.

The message is simple. Women need to start smartening up their guys. We can see that the Tarahumara Indians have a society without our problems and if we want that for America we need to use our brains.

Every time a woman reads a book like Born To Run or Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease we will be that much closer to a society where our quality of life lasts a life time and we don't have to spend the last part of our lives in nursing homes and wheel chairs. We can spend the last years of our lives hiking, biking, and out in nature doing stuff like the Tarahumara do when they are 95 and walking 26 miles in the Copper Canyons.

Society Can Evolve - We Can Save The Planet

Individuals make choices every day. Collectively our choices as individuals make up the choices that a soicety makes. Jared Diamond wrote the book, Collapse, that looks at cultures that destroyed their environment and it led to the collapse of their civilizations. These civilizations were destroying their enviornment ignorantly just like we are today in America. In the book, Beyond Beef, by Jeremy Rifkin the author explains how growing crops for cattle and cattle grazing are the primary cause of desertification, deforestation, soil erosion, species extinction, global warming, world hunger and water depletion.

Interestingly, consuming too many animal products is the primary cause of cancer and heart disease according to The China Study and Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease by Dr. Esselstyn.

Jared Diamond makes sure to look at cultures that avoided collapse by taking care of and protecting their environment. In the book one culture lives on a really small island and there are no islands near by. This is how life is on Earth for us. We are here by ourselves and if we don't take care of Mother Earth then there are no inhabitable rocks left for us to go live on. This island culture turned their island into a garden of eden to help save themselves environmentally. Every single plant on the island produced some type of food or something to make clothers or other useful items.

Imagine walking through a city surrounded by trees producing every type of edible fruit imaginable. That would be a city where everyone would always have nutritious food and those trees would produce oxygen for the environment. Every time you eat fruit that is a message to the world to plant more fruit trees. The same is not true for a hamburger, because according to Jeremy Rifkin an acre of forest is destroyed every five seconds for cattle grazing or growing crops for livestock. In the book, Diet For New America, John Robbins points out how over 80% of crops are used to feed livestock instead of people.

Food For Life is an organization that is aware of how producing animal products is the primary cause of world hunger. They have been feeding 100% plant-based meals to hungry people around the world for over 30 years.

We have a choice about our own future and the future of this planet. Humans can evolve and so can societies.


Dr. Will Tuttle wrote the book The World Peace Diet. His message is basically the same as Collapse. Our society needs to stop eating so many animal products if we want to save ourselves and this world. My favorite song in the world is called, "If You Could Save Yourself, You'd Save Us All" by Ween. It is so true.

My favorite part of The World Peace Diet is when Dr. Will Tuttle explains that the World Cancer Research Fund looked at 4,500 different studies and then concluded that animal products cause cancer. There recommendation was to avoid animal products and eat fruits, vegetables, legumes and nuts. That is the same diet that Dr. Fuhrman and Dr. Esselstyn are using to reverse disease in their patients.

The ultimate message here is if we want a better world we need to start working on ourselves. We can't point fingers and blame someone else or just pretend that things are fine. We also can't avoid the truth because it is too depressing. We need to face the facts and start learning how we can help save this planet.


According to the book, Ecological Integrity by professor David Pimentel it takes 12,000 gallons to produce one pound of beef and 60 gallons to produce a pound of potatoes. Every time I eat a pound of potatoes instead of a pound of a beef I am saving up to 11,940 gallons of water for future generations. The same goes for when I choose beans over meat. One cup of beans provides 30% of my protein for the day and 30% of my iron.

Eating this way has gotten my total cholesterol to 116 so far.
