As usual your selection of material is astounding and timely,and your analysis and essays resonate with the truth. This essay brought to mind the Dickins novel "Little Dorrit" and ....the..."Office of Circumlocution" !
Angie,I was unaware that this substack linked to P.P. nor his position as you have pointed out so thanks for the clarification. Doesn't surprise me. And yes I agree with you re the duopoly power base,we all know it's the global system....and it works well for "them".I have an old Youtube vid that actually shows the Canadian P.M. (Trudeau ?) and the Australian Prime Minister (John Howard) reading the EXACT (word for word) same speech one day apart,announcing that our government was going to join the "coalition" to invade Iraq post 911.Talk about Chutzpah or whatever the "chosen" word might be. It's sickening,it's a war on mankind and I've been witnessing and fighting against it since 1973 ! That said,we are spiritually bound to see this out to the bitter end...good luck.
Sorry for late response Kaylene...I have about 60,000 files on one of my 3 old computers...its in one of those files ! Not impossible but tedious to locate...but I need the challenge...I haven't got time to sleep anyway. LOL
This refreshing essay goes far beyond simply redefining the problem. With windows and doors of clarity and insight, it creates new levels of resonating awareness oddly coupled with the reader's simultaneous recognition.
The idea that stupid people are far more dangerous shouldn't come as much of a surprise, yet it does - if only to reevaluate and elevate my own definition of 'stupidity.' (i.e., doing the same thing repeatedly while expecting different result.)
So is blind, unwavering, naive faith in the goodness of others now a self-defeating juvenile posture? Perhaps within an entrenched narcissistic model which values power and money above all else. So is one solution then - as within any new awareness - to antiquate that which no longer works? While quietly creating/supporting new authentic models which seek to serve rather than exploit?
Stupid individuals as defined by Bonhoffer are much more common than evil individuals. Evil intentions in themselves require independent thought, as most people are basically good, therefore evil individuals are comparatively rare. When stupid individuals come under the influence of evil individuals the evil is magnified, and empowered. Therefore stupid individuals present more of a threat than evil individuals.
With regard to science, there seems now to be a tactic of provoking loud and haphazard disagreement so that informed disagreement becomes impossible. This is most obvious in the matter of climate change, the debate being reduced to a game where the only sides allowed to play are the Affirmers (white team) and the Deniers (black team). Since climate IS change, we know who is going to win that one.
I tried to deal with that here, in my clunky layman's way:
Apologies for the delayed reply. My thanks go out to everyone — the team at Unbekoming and my lectorate — for your continued engagement. I’ve been immersed in an assignment for activist and author Lisa Miron, known for World on Mute (available on Kindle), examining whether the globalist vision behind Agenda 2030–2050 stands any real chance of success.
After applying the logic of the Nash Equilibrium, my conclusion is clear: they will fail — just as previous utopian projects have failed, from the post-Weimar German Lebensraum to Mao’s Cultural Revolution. The reason is straightforward: the anthropological distinctions between nations are too deep, too irreducible. Agenda 2030–2050 is a utopia that cannot hold.
Luc how come you don't have your own Substack I could follow? If you do I don't know about it. I'm so interested in this core truth of things I want to gather with others and keep going.
The Unbekoming team are truly kind people. You can follow my work on their Substack, where my academic perspective aligns well with their mission. As long as I continue writing on these themes, they may feature my essays there. At 72, being an old and somewhat crippled man, managing a personal Substack of my own would simply be too much for me.
But bcs you’re saying something I would very much like to believe …it’s seductively reassuring.
It’s the second time I’ve read this . Can’t recall where you last posted it - but it’s a good example of my own vulnerability to take the reassurance and not think.
Okay. Here's the thing: These Nash equilibrium models were generated using multiple AI systems, each incorporating around 60 variables. The results will serve as the foundation for my next Unbekoming essay on this issue. The idea first crystallized during Lisa Miron’s Zoom course on globolism session the other day. Too often, we read essays detailing the harm globalists are inflicting — but rarely do we see analyses of the failure they are heading toward (the 'anthropogenic hypothesis'--the human need for basic freedom). That said, their collapse won’t come without cost. People will suffer. Some will die. But the system they built is not invincible — and the data is beginning to show it. - Luc
I have been trying to get a prescription for Nystatin from the health clinic I have been going to for the last 35 years. I used to do well with that clinic but then my nice Cuban lady doctor retired and they joined the University of Vermont Medical Center. They are quite willing to offer me BP meds if my pressure is high for two minutes, or statins for cholesterol, or any of the vaccines they have on offer. But this benign medicine, which has been around for decades and works wonderfully for me, I can't get out of them. They acted as though I was a crazy old lady with drug seeking behavior trying to get Oxycontin.
I have been pondering whether I should take the trouble of writing the whole dismal experience with them out and posting it on Mychart, or just letting the whole thing go and taking their advice to see a naturopath (which will cost me $350 out of pocket.)
It is also about how the doctors at this clinic are not able to prescribe an innocuous drug like Nystatin. It is true that regular MDs are clueless about dysbiosis, and I realize this now. But since they got bought out by the Medical Center, I think they have to follow top down guidelines. The medical/pharma blog has them by the short hairs, I fear.
Instead of explaining this honestly, they act as though my request is unreasonable. There was no reaction to my complaint on Mychart, I will add. I guess they will be glad to be rid of me, a difficult, non-compliant patient.
Another excellent post! Thank you Luc! It still boggles my mind how the State of Utah took an accusation of "child abuse" and parlayed that into multiple felony and misdemeanor charges to unlawfully arrest my wife and I and incarcerate us for 57 days refusing to see as our son's natural biological parents, we were also supposed to enjoy the equal protection of the law and due process, both denied in a rush to judgment. The engineered agnotology of the Mormons was impossible to overcome when they have already made up their prescient minds that we were guilty of whatever they wanted to dream up, and using coercive detention to obtain the Stockholm syndrome (fatiguing us into compliance) to their stealing and selling my whole family to their bureaucratic pontificated opinions without any effective opposition. The gaslighting court appointed attorneys intentionally farming out slavery in the name of "protection".
I am a physicist who has an active Substack on Critical Thinking. The material here quite accurately emphasizes that Critical Thinking is our best defense against propaganda, manipulations, etc., etc.
However, the anti-Americans also know this, so US K-12 schools are purposefully training our children to be the OPPOSITE of Critical Thinkers (lemmings). Worse is that almost no one is doing anything meaningful about that.
A new day begins . I’ve thought lots about this essay and as I do and will continue to do, a life time of experience both personal and professional, crystallised further.
I’m sorry to hear that. I make a point of mentioning your work as often as I can. Please point out the passages you believe I mishandled. Since we share similar ideas, it’s possible you misunderstood me.
All I ask is that concerns be raised privately first, so they can be verified — not aired publicly to discredit me.

You meant the 2nd Trudeau... I guess? We were flanked with two of 'em.
Daddy Trudeau I'm sure...the one whose wife liked Cuban cigars !
Right on target!
Australian here…
Any chance of a link ?
Regardless , I can’t believe how fast I’m growing up .

Love your points and use of “ selection election. Not to mention your primary point and perfect example of political silence and its use.
Was your reaction to linking to the web site , to suggest that we should not do this when the site is ..of the enemy ?
You are indeed correct!

Thank you again for this essay. Wonderful work.

When stupid individuals come under the influence of evil individuals the evil is magnified, and empowered. Therefore stupid individuals present more of a threat than evil individuals.
I agree with most of your comment except the bit about most people being basically good .
We are not . It’s a choice. In my humble opinion.
Agree.
Just now understood your use of the links.
People are not simply good or evil. Works are good or evil -- in effect. Fruit of actions is good or evil.?
Your words seem to …rephrase mine but change my meaning and intention. Or perhaps I am jumping to conclusions ?
Affirm. Rephrase. Not change / challenge.
I did get that….
And I disagree .
Agree.
Thanks for these links... it's most appreciated!
Your reply is beautifully expressed. With respect I ask that you consider the term “ stupid “ ?
Does you incorporate current global PTSD for example .
My understanding has been that it refers to low IQ.
Like you I throughly enjoy and benefit from this work . So I seek clarity via that very basic rule of “ always define your terms”
Thank you for that.

Ps I agree and am so over the doom It takes a great toll I believe.
Hope holds great power , just look at our Christ .
Great progress has been made in the destruction of human hope .
🙏🙏🙏
With respect , you sound kinda absolutist .
But bcs you’re saying something I would very much like to believe …it’s seductively reassuring.

Your reply aids my comprehension a lot.
However I should perhaps add…you are dealing with one who is bewildered by how
- 2 or minus anything , can equal, something.
Great!
Thank you Luc . And for us all….

How does this relate to the subject under consideration?
It has to do with being ignored and disrespected and whether to just forget about it or speak up and complain. Which I did because I read the article.
It is also about how the doctors at this clinic are not able to prescribe an innocuous drug like Nystatin. It is true that regular MDs are clueless about dysbiosis, and I realize this now. But since they got bought out by the Medical Center, I think they have to follow top down guidelines. The medical/pharma blog has them by the short hairs, I fear.

Very insightful piece. Thanks for sharing this.
The big lesson here is to keep yourself in good health and out of The Institutions.
Many thanks!
Agree.

Wow. I'm so sorry this happened. And thanks for talking about it. Just what Luc is saying is our defense.
Interesting!
A definition of “ stupid “ would be useful.
Eg would this also cover autism? Given the current v caused increase in this diagnosis/ state/injury.
Perhaps it’s in the body of work and I’ve missed it .
I will have to figure out how to find my way back and read this over a few times .
It’s stunning bcs my experience has always been that silence is very loud. That it has different ….qualities and tones.
As I visited some of your links I got a tad lost. Very happy to be back .
Thus my hope to return .
I’ll be back.
Thank you for this insightful commentary.
