| Insurance A gamble we know we are going to lose  The movie “The Incredibles” has an animated character that is an executive at an insurance company who instructs his employees to not pay claims. This is a relatable character because many people have experiences of being denied a claim. One disability policy, I saw, stated on page 14 that benefits would not be paid if the insured had another source of income. This meant that a Social Security disability payment would nullify the policy and if someone was disabled, the insurance would not pay. The idea that paying for a disability policy that would not pay if you were disabled seems not too far from fraud.  In fairness an insurance company has many people trying to steal from them. Since they are a large corporation run by procedures, they program their collective to operate machine-like so that they keep as much money as possible. They have no capacity for, or interest in, what is true. They simply work on making their corporate collective a successful money making machine. These companies often fall into a pattern of trying to spread fear to get people to purchase their product, and then get the government to pass laws to reduce the chances that what they’ve made people afraid of will actually happen. Early humanity huddled together in huts fearful of lightening strikes. Most of the trajectory of civilization has been to find a way to move from a fearful dependence on God to a life of comfort and security. Part of this comfort that is sought is the comfort that having insurance imparts. If anything bad should happen one can be assured that it can be fixed with the money that insurance will provide. This is perhaps a good example of the comfort and assurance one can derive from self-deception.  In a real or natural world family and friends help us if we’re faced with calamity. In the Satanic world that is emerging, one can neglect others by assuring themselves that insurance or government takes care of those in need so one can focus more intently on himself. By creating a world in which even normal fears and apprehensions have been reduced by thinking that in the unlikely event anything worrisome should happen, insurance will remedy the situation, we can create a delusional state of comfort and ease. In this state we might even neglect the prudent steps we should take to minimize actual risks. We can even come to think that a risk free environment is natural.  The sort of “magical thinking" that can arise from seeing no un-resolvable hazards in life can lead to an increasingly unrealistic view of the world. Many find the evolutionary idea that there is no God attractive because they can think of no reason a god would create a world that allowed there to be any pain, suffering, or even discomfort. However, when one considers those historical incidences where a king or emperor indulged their children with such comforts, the children almost always turned out to be little monsters whose selfishness and cruelty often seems unlimited, that delusional thinking often is self-destructive. |
