11/27/21 Report - Looking At More Treasure Coast Beaches. Minions Are More Than Cartoons.

 

Written by the TreasureGuide for the exclusive use of the Treasure Beaches Report.

Cabin Wreck Beach.

All the beach photos today were submitted by JamminJack,  The beaches shown today added to those shown yesterday provide a good long list of Treasure Coast beaches.  You probably never hunted some of those, and you might want to check some of them out.

Jack said that despite the erosion near the Cabin Wreck (shown above and below) only aluminum and junk was found yesterday.

Note the seaweed.

In the above photo of the beach just south of the Sebastian Inlet, the sand looks pretty mushy.








Thanks again Jack.

Minions are simple, funny and you might even find them cute.  They don't talk in complex sentences or talk about complicated subjects.  They have a language of their own.  They remind me very much of toddlers - except toddler's often show a definite lack of respect for authority.

Minions are not just cartoons.  According to a dictionary definition I found online, a minion is someone who is not powerful or important and who obeys the orders of a powerful leader or boss.  

Minions are generally authoritarians.  They follow their leader.  They don't ask questions.  They don't reason, or even think very much.  They aren't very serious and are generally not harmful until they get their marching orders.


Real-life minions are useful to those who they follow.  They accept the answers they are given and aren't bothered by questioning, reasoning, evidence, or fact.  They are totally predictable and easy to identify.  It is no use to trying to discuss anything with a minion.  Their single-track cognitive style rejects complexity.

Sometimes they are not so cute.  They create chaos and destroy.  Without minions the holocaust could not have happened, and minioins distributed the kool-aid at Jonestown.  


In the cartoon version, Dr. Nefario produced PX-49 as an antidote to PX-41.  PX-49 changes Evil Minions back to regular Minions.  Too bad we don't have a real-life version of that.

You can always predict what real-life minions are going to say or do because without exception they will conform to the party-line, no matter how uninformed or dishonest that narrative might be.  They aren't independent thinkers.  They'll get all their answers from the external approved sources.  They can somehow remain blind to any contradictions and accept whatever their approved authority says as fact.

When you are confronted by someone who has all the answers but can't show you convincing evidence, and the answers are too neat and simple, there is a very good chance you are talking to a minion. That is like talking to a recording.  The recording won't change, even in the face of the most compelling facts.  The answers they think you should accept because they say so, are not actually convincing - they are symptomatic. 

Reality is wonderfully complex   The wonder of nature deserves respect.  Only the simple can be satisfied with simple answers.  Real-life minions not only demand consistency and conformity, but they find disagreement and mature discussion dangerous.  They want everyone else to think what they think, even though they fail to grasp the reality.

If you are a truth seeker, every time you come to an answer, there should be a more questions awaiting you.  Be open to the vast overwhelming number of possibilities.  Try to consider various sides of an issue before coming to a decision.   Don't be bullied.  Be willing to consider all the evidence - especially that which is contrary to popular opinion.  Don't miss the joy and wonder of life.

There are more things in heaven and Earth, Horatio, / Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.  (Hamlet)
