Tao # 50 / Actuaries ~ New Thought Tao Insights

Ф

Insurance companies employ professional actuaries to provide risk assessments which can provide better understanding of human behavior through the use of statistics. Statistics play a major role in most, if not all societies. Often when one hears the "news", it is filled with statistics which are then interpreted by the presenter to mean this or that. In the sociological climate of the early 21st Century, the United States was increasingly polarized through a false dichotomy purporting that there were major differences between the two political parties, when in fact they were both right wing parties with very minor differences. The news outlets at the time would flog different points of view supporting the two audiences that adhered to one view or the other. The chief use of statistics by these commentators was to support their viewpoints which supported one party or another. The main result for people watching these broadcasts was higher stress levels in their lives.

Regular folks, those who work for a living, rent or have only one home, do better when they eschew superstition and practice The Way.

There is an old song from the 20th Century which goes: "I read the news today ... about a lucky man who made the grade, Though the news was rather sad, I had to laugh. I saw the photograph. ...I read the news today. ... 4000 holes in Blackford, Lancashire and though the holes were rather small they had to count them all. Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall."

What news is important? This is what you must discern. If a celebrity gets plastic surgery, how does that affect your life?

Knowing the weather forecast can be useful to help you to make plans and choices. Tornado and Tsunami warnings are helpful if you live in areas that have such things, but how is news regarding relationships of famous people going to help you to have a better life?

News regarding the latest book releases or scientific breakthroughs can certainly help you. Knowing about corrupt politicians could be helpful in making voting decisions, unless you choices are based on false information.

The key to having a more joyful life is to proceed forward without fear.
