How to Be A Complete Human

In all my years of school, no teacher ever discussed how to be a complete human being, or how to even think about that problem. It's really the most fundamental problem people face day in and day out. In the United States today, the most celebrated people are often the worst, partial humans there are. The celebrities, politicians, etc... are usually so hollow and narcissistic that they end up as someone else's puppet. They recite lines rather than have their own ideas, for example, and appear to be kept under control via blackmail and bribery.

There's almost no counter example in anyone's life. The entertainment and news media is almost entirely in the business of promoting those empty, narcissistic people, and sells the dime-store version of that life as the "consumer" lifestyle. Most families replaced whatever tradition and knowledge they had on the subject of "life" with the Hollywood abomination teaching.

It's a truism that materially poorer people are more complete human beings. It's also sort of mind bending, and soul haunting that the human beings of the stone age were maybe the most human and that agricultural civilization was a fundamental error.
