PRE_FACE: A Philosophical Satellite of our Souls Potential
Keep in mind, some parts of this book may or may not have to do with you, your culture, or upbringing but is focused for all races, genders, and religions for which all humans are accepted within it order to understand one another. This is a collection of thoughts and topics in the attempt to bring people into the light and out of the clouds that every person finds themselves in from time to time with traces of hope that there is still trust, true love, and selflessness instead of deceipt, paranoia, and distrust that everyone is out to get one another. As you may be aware or not, depending on your environment or choice thereof, it seems that society has become self-serving. IF you watch the news, it should be quite evident this is the case. Do you agree that people don’t help people very often? It’s as if chivalry or even just good deeds or manners have disappeared; a person can’t even take their phone from their hand to help an elderly person with a door let alone stop a mugger or an assault on a helpless woman on a subway. Why has this cause of societal deterioration happen under our noses day after day?
Society has evolved into this technological quick sand that every person needs to be instantly gratified where relationships have been hijacked by their smart devices, apps, and social media. Of course, I am guilty to some extent throughout this book as to follow societies downward spiral; as it seems to be easier for us all to take the path of least resistance, as opposed to fighting the system and being punished for caring to try to make a difference for the good of our children and human race. Now this is the purpose for developing ‘THP’ (Theory of Human Possiblity); WE ARE NOT meant to accept the optic dominant, selfish, bullying life reality society is forcing us to accept; while we are busy working, running business’s, paying taxes, footing the bill for the actual groups and individuals responsible stealing our God given right to freedom, dignity, integrity and speech. By no means, are these writings a goal of mine to get recognition publicly or monetarily. Quite frankly, it gives me anxiety putting the idea out there with my name under it. IF no one even reads on, that’s OK, the folks I really want to see are my children, immediate family and true friends.
Look around on how people judge others without even a second thought to give the person the benefit of the doubt or question what could be actual. This judgement breeds frustration, helplessness, and can result in isolation and possibly depression depending how long these judgmental situations breed. We all find ourselves in the situation more often than we would ever think, in which facts & reality would prove we are the absolute opposite; This behavior occurs as a few select bad eggs in the community/society promulgate a false picture of what actually is. IF this happens to you or someone you know, just realize you are not alone and are absolutely not that person made out to be from the false optics which community, media, social platforms or rumors made as fallacy! This is the case in local commuitites on micro levels as well as macro levels where politicians divide, the main stream media blatantly lies, as the lies become truth from the mis-informed’s perspective. God is condemned, creativity is discouraged, and if you don’t agree with the social norm or ‘cool’ group you are ostraciszed/isolated. It leaves us in a place of confusion, despair and a feeling of loneliness, even in our own houslholds at times. Fathers can’t be fathers. Mothers can’t be mothers and children can’t be children.
By no means am I suggesting to destroy the culture of technology, fun and joy it can bring, I am suggesting to manage it. We are in an electronic world that not even the programmers understand what the dangers their algorithsms are causing. Or do they and is it just a plan? So where do we go from here? Are our souls being hijacked by the digital optic in front of each and every one of us?
The purpose of this book is to share these topics as a tool to debate in a healthy and non-violent manner to expand on in different methods to accomplish the greater inner possibility that each person holds but is unable to unleash due to all the social restraints and discouragments from society, media and the select bad few; brainwashed by the addiction this social media electronic era infiltrates; We are in a world of pessimism and if a person or organization is successful, they are vilified for doing well instead of praised for making a difference. My gosh look at when some of these successful business folks run against a lifetime politician that never even had real job. We are all being tricked by the media and politicians.
If we choose to take this journey together consider a new way of thinking, an interactive way of reading and translating information. Let’s the take the time to stop and think about some of the vearbage and topics. This book is a little different than the norm as we want to have pauses with pertinent videos and/or songs to listen to while reading during related topics. We will introduce a handful of characters who get involved within this interactive dialogue considering others have life scenarios and opinions different from others which can supplement what THP is trying to accomplish. Referenced is a movie clip from ‘Gifted Hands’ where Ben Carson, a pronounced Brian Surgeon, during his John Hopkins interview where he explains the human brain is a miracle.
We are in the age of technology from which we know so much, have so many options, with a plethora of assistance that deters us from thinking independently and creatively. With all this smart technology we still cannot bring ourselves together as a whole entity or even a microscopic fraction of an entity to build a harmonious human race to the potential we all thrive for and dream to become. In fact the trend of crime, education, dignity and morals of humankind continues to deteriorate and is covered as a fog becoming so dense the false reality becomes a norm which is the opposite of the objective our true decent souls truly strive and hope for deep within.
I began writing the idea of THP after The awful Columbine school shooting on April 21st 1999. When the actual words ‘Theory of Human Possibility’ came to life was at the end of a sleepless work week in Moscow, Russia in the summer of 2001 probably due to jet lag. Whether it was being delirious from sleeplessness or seeing far a different culture operate in a different country, or both. I just felt there was something missing and disconnected with humanity. Then life really began to keep me up nights when I was in Groton, CT on a service call at General Dymamics/Electric Boat factory in which the thoughts and words flowed at the time of the Virgina Tech school shooting on April 2007. These events continue more frequently with little resolution to the root cause of the problem. These one off and mass shootings bothered me deep within. I couldn’t understand how and why a teenager could think of harming classmates, let alone kill our own youth and piers. There must be some mental health reason in which our present culture has breeded these horrific thoughts and actions. So all this awakeded my mind quite passionately, so I kept writing.
I suppose a quick bio is approporiate. I am the middle of 5 boys in 7 years; born in small town named Sharon, CT. My Dad was in the military with a commercial flight license and started our family immediatly after his time as a Loach Helicopter in the Vietnam War. So we moved from various cities in the US throughout the years before he chose, for consistency purposes, to work at Westinghouse at the Energy Center in Pittsburgh. He then decided to go off on his own to start R.E. Dupill & Associates as a Nuclear Manufacturers Rep company. I think I had a relatively normal upbringing with a few bumps and bruises which can be expected. My youth years were spent on Sycamore Drive in Penn Hills, PA. Then our family moved to Murrysville, PA (Franklin Regional School district) into my highschool years in which I graduated from to continue on to University of Pitt @ Johnstown for my bachelors degree. I then immedialty got involved in the family business as a sales/service engineer predomintly in the Nuclear industry. I want to give most people in my life credit to form this book in my mind to share into what has become. Whether it be positive or negative, inspirational or painful. We should take it as a learning experience of where we are. I waited for much to long to finish writing this, as I felt I needed the input of so many more people whether it be from a perspective of professions, gender, race, and experiences for a complete model of the THP. But now being where I am in life with successes, trials and tribulaiotns, we are never finished with the quest of what the THP can offer. It just hit me and I realized it is a continued living document shared and contributed by everyone willing to take the Journey to believe in humanity and ourselves. So All are welcomed to add to this version or make another version in a another shape or form whether by behavior, words, another blog or video? This is all of our choices not just one person. I give credit to all, especially my parents, as well my past, and present piers where we discussed and formatted a piece of the THP. Every day we are always learning. My parents Pete and Linda Dupill have given their five children the basic characteristics of Honesty, Ambition, Reseliency and Integrity to become a part of THP. And more importantly, take accountability and accept responsibility of our decisions in life. Of course, it is impossible for parents to control each and every child’s circumstance in their growing life. That is where my brothers and I consistently checked each other when one or two brothers deviated from the path we should have been on. Thank you mom and dad (Pete & Linda Dupill) and all my brothers Craig, Chad, Cliff, and Cornell. Now I cannot name all the friends or acquaintances that have contributed to this book but you all know who you are and thank you all and ask you to please comment, expand on the THP for the best outcome for which we all are capable of becoming.
So back to the sleepless nights due to my heart and mind racing with myriad thoughts of how and why we as humans can have so much intelligence and still have the problems that we do today which seem to be exponetially getting worse. I then thought that maybe we are not as smart as we think? Maybe our arrogance and pride has put such a high hurdle in front of our path that we are unable to jump, let alone see over this hurdle in order to find our right of pursuit to happiness, serenity and decency. As time moves on, I see that we find this hurdle so high and discouraging we begin to lose the intestinal fortitude nor the foresight to associate with people having the same common thought structure to find a way over or around these hurdles and societal barriers in front of us. Society is burying our human potential into a one dimmesnional black hole in our social media, apps, with addiction in elecotronics, ego, alcohol and drugs. And what is scary we are all accepting it as normal. Its even laughed and joked about. Where is the finish line to this fake consolidated quest for progressiveness these politicians and leaders promise? Wouldn’t it be nice to know what is beyond the finish line. Is it a celebration party or is this life a different race to another finish line. Is it another world inside or outside our universe where Spaceforce will take us when we pass a test of decency of the common good soul. Or is it right in front of us on Earth? Before we get into pondering the thoughts of the unknown, lets figure out what we know at this present day so we can eliminate the hurdle in front of us as a united front of the human race which the common folk all share. We aren’t the narcisitic elite movie stars, poiliticians or billionaires that hide their shallow souls with money, material things and fame. In No way are the previous mentioned groups stereotyped but we find a majority are what they are. And if one falls outside the group to think objectively they are torn apart by the mob of insecure, possibly evil souls of the elite Mob. They don’t live in the reality we all do. We the common folk are the ones that make the world go around with work, trust, honest relationhips, family and integrity.
So presented in this book is a focused collaboration of mankind’s obstacles and proposed resolutions that can be used as tools for success in ourselves, our country and our community; And at the end of this book we will be able to see who is who and what can be what, which is presented in an actual equation solution that possibly could knock down the hurdle of hate, insecurity and division which has dominated our decent souls for so long.
Keep in mind this is a collective effort of us all; we need the correct support, strength, tools and numbers to squash the toxic variables so apparently bringing us down. Without this support of common THP thoughts and beliefs, we are disadvantaged day after day with social deterants continually beating us down from when we wake up to the minute we go to bed. Yes, I believe that one individual is possibly cabapable, but the strength within must be undetermined, trained and excerised continually to beat the outside social demons and out of control deterants to be put in thier place day every day. The point is we all can be this person together. At times when we go at it alone, the judgements and followers of these toxic negative sheep thinkers publicly destroy the reputation of this ‘ONE’ person which divides the success % exponentially of THP accomplishments.
Numbers are power and David can beat Goliath. I like to refer to the inspirational movie ‘Gladiatior’ in the colosseum scene where the slave wins over the crowd (You and I) and the evil Cesar (Elite Media/politicians) cannot touch him because he has the power and support of the large majority of common people.
That is who we are, the common people, with the power to not be bullied. This is why we need support capabilities of ‘like’ folks with positive energy. I never wanted to publish this and always attempted to keep my voice and ambitions under the radar for the fear of becoming public in which I would change from the person I am and what I stand for. But what if we are already made out to be something we are not. We all have these moment’s and some last longer than others. So I decided, what the hell am I waiting for. To Die? Time has changed my mind in the world we live in today. We all need to think of each and everyone as a tight knitted league of teams and teammates within different cities with different mascots and colored uniforms but all having the same goal in mind; respect for each other to keep our teams integrity, honesty and respect for the entire league as a ‘United league’ to embrace fair play with objective referees. No one team agrees on every aspect or even each teammate. But that does not give us the right to take each others dignity. Our majority beleifs of our league will overcome any minimal disagreement instead of having a ‘cancerous’ cell on that team dividing, which is exactly what the media, politicians, conglomerate corporations and big tech are doing today. This is the case especially when we are debating about what Political Party, Religion, Person, family is hypothetically correct. None of us knows the answer for sure. In order to find that answer we need to respect and listen to each and every new idea in order to make progress.
Without Progess, we are stuck in the mud. Unfortunately the word has been hijacked by the Progressive movement which in my opinion does just the opposite. Stops progress. They are using us all! Look at the word Liberal. The word has been redefined to an unjust meaning of authoritarian control of a collective group. Instead of the true definition as an open minded free spirt, free thinking creative group or individual. By re-definition, the wand waiving progressive woke movement has brainwashed these creative, open minded folks to believe they are a part of this authoritarian group. I really see it as one of the biggest Fallacies and Cons of all time!
How many times have we seen a harmonious group conversation or productive business or team meeting go into a tail spin due to one or few persons with a stubborn, ‘know it all’ egotistical personality unwilling to let another finish their sentence or thought, undermined by a personal attack of that persons past or ideology while patronizing free thoughts and ideas. Moreover, So many times others will continue to let the past be the subject for the future. Or maybe it’s a finger point strategy into the blame game”. If you are this type of person please concentrate on the chapter of “Why we have two ears and one mouth”. Even negative ‘progress’ can teach us something, which is not to take that failed road to travel again. And with that knowledge we are more educated on the next step to take in what is the accomplished task.
We all have these people in our lives that make us who we are. What if each of us had the power to take all the positive influencers of our life and implement them in order to eliminate all the negative influencers? That would be the ideal situation in all of our lives. Is this realistic? So what do you have to lose? Let’s take our cards at face value, discard the bad cards, so we are able to play the best hand possible at the poker table. While we discard our cards for a fresh start, let the discarded pile re-evaluate their actual card value, waiting for the next hand to be dealt. So if you are up for this Journey and open to suggesting ideas as well as respecting others dignity and ideas, Let’s take it this trip together, Welcome to the THP!!!
