entirely freed
«In the “furnace of the cross” and in the fire, says the “Aquarium
sapientum,” “man, like the earthly gold, attains to the true black
Raven’s Head; that is, he is utterly disfigured and is held in derision
by the world, and this is not only for forty days and nights, or years,
but often for the whole duration of his life; … Through this spiritual
death his soul is entirely freed."» - Jung, Mysterium coniunctionis,
pp. 353-354.

quotes of the day and what's the solution?!
qotd
«such as the Yale study, which found that prolonged stress causes degeneration in the area of the brain responsible for self-control»

«creativity can help individuals rationalize and cope with the negative effects of social rejection.»

In ten years of sojourn in ce pays der Teufel, is four times moving due to noise that happens to be made by thugs congregating right underneath my windows enough ?! No, they want it five times in ten years.
And what's the solution?!
Open-ended isolation through rumour-mongering, provocations, stress, sleep deprivation through bands of loitering hooligans who happen to congregate wherever i happen to live, without the least whiff of a legal framework - causing me to move residence four to five times now.
Because police will not deign do civic policing work maintaining order, quiet, and a resident's rights to not be besieged by boisterous hostile loiterers - or even rebuke them when they assault me.
No, the police does big boy police stuff like counter terrorism, and political mobilization and repression.
But noise complaints, hooliganisms, assaults on residents deprived of sleep? that's kid stuff to them. not the essence of civilized living at all.
And neighbors either too scared or helpless or plain apathetic to do anything.

Sharp market research
This diagram from
http://www.sinus-institut.de/loesungen/microm-geo-milieus.html
that i’d come across seems insightful: socioeconomic partitions vs. sociopolitical attitudes or inclinations.
I'm afraid, so far, the diagram is reproduced here without the authors' or publishers' (Sinus institut) permission.

Egypt was populated between 130 and 50 thousand yrs ago, possible origin or way point (one of a half dozen possible ones) of Chinese, European and Japanese colonizations between 60 and 35/25 thousand years ago.
