Let me ask you an honest question and would you please give me an honest answer, or no answer at all.
Do you think there is an acceptable way of discussing the events of September 11, 2001 with children and adults worldwide?
What could it be?
I have a proposal, 6 pages of paper that I would be willing to give to you and the world.

Seriously.
Carsten, children? I suspect not.
My reasoning is that it's difficult enough - in fact, often impossible - to get grown adults to break out of the propaganda cocoon and thought control that decades of state narratives and ingrained thought training has inculcated in most people since childhood.
But youth and young adults (and upwards) is certainly an audience that can be educated to have their eyes and ears opened. But it is no easy task. Some of my own grandchildren fit into these categories and are aware of my views. They certainly don't have to agree with me, that for certain. But I do care that they have the ability to think critically and learn to be as objective and factual as possible.
However, the central problem is that we humans are hopelessly unable to even recognise (or at least accept - blaming other instead) the lies we tell ourselves that it makes us suckers for the lies told by slick-tongued professional politicians etc.
Hope this helps.
PS, feel free to PM me your 6 pages...
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
