GETTING RID OF THE NHS.//
I would like to see an end to state organised healthcare and state organised old age pensions. The two basic ideas are, one if you can’t look after yourself you die and, two if you’re too old to work you’re too old to eat.//
The realities of public policies based on such ideas would be very much less harsh then might at first be supposed. In fact very much less harsh than the present arrangements for healthcare and retirement.//
Any casual observation of people in public places makes clear that many people are being kept alive in a misery of chronic bad health. Many people have peculiar shapes, look permanently tired or seem to be in the terminal stages of degenerative diseases. Ignoring living space factors, it seems that most people have a bad attitude to their own health.//
Most people seem to think that chronic bad health is inevitable. Living space factors are of course most of the problem. Most people tolerate unpleasant living space restrictions and the apparent inevitability of bad health for one basic reason. They believe the state propaganda that individuals are more or less powerless on their own, powerless even to manage their own health.//
The idea that individuals are dependent on the state for their health and indeed wealth, is one of the basic bits of nonsense that perpetuates our appalling social problems. I don’t believe in the sincerity of doctors. Doctors may become healthcare professionals as idealistic young people, but in my opinion they stay on as journeymen, as time servers. Most doctors know that they do nothing for their customers, that their customers could not do for themselves.//
The reality is that the health problems of most people are based on nothing more than lazy ignorant self abuse. They should drink less, eat less and get out more.//
Osteoporosis and related bone diseases are a good example. Bed rest usually leads to calcium seeping out of your bones and out of your system. Your weight bearing bones lose the ability to bear weight. So if you want your weight bearing bones to continue to be able to bear weight, make sure they bear weight regularly and often. Don’t cunningly redesign your body to be ideal for vegetating on sofas.//
People have to realise that if you don’t look after yourself, you die. This is the natural reality, although at the moment if you don’t look after yourself the state will try to keep you lingering on, as an apparently useful economic unit, for perhaps twenty or thirty years. Keep you lingering on, in more or less immobile misery.//
Whatever healthcare professionals may say as they try to make jobs for themselves, the practical reality is that the state is unwilling and unable to look after the good health of individuals. Nor should the state be looking after the good health of individuals. Our present healthcare system is part of the organised and neurotic management of people as cattle.//
This situation has arisen as one of the many problems, which follow on from our gross overpopulation of the planetIn nature there are no chronically sick animals. There are healthy animals, briefly sick animals and dead animals.//
WE SHOULD ALL WORK TILL WE DROP, THEN DIE.//
We should all be allowed to work for ourselves, be allowed to produce wealth for ourselves, be allowed to retain wealth for ourselves, until we drop shortly before we die. Of course this as an idea behind public policies would have to be introduced gradually. It would be pointless at the moment telling old people that they should get out more, because at the moment most old people live in areas, in which at least for part of the day there are no go areas for anybody who is sane or sober.//
And of course there are always going to be people who need looking after for most or perhaps all of their lifetimes, but there would be far fewer chronically sick people if people in general behaved in ways that conform to natural realities. At present more or less all of us spend a substantial part of our lifetimes as victims of state healthcare.//
