I'm thinking the only solution for now is to have an unpopular mind. One loses friends...but real friends will trickle back, though gingerly. What else can I do now but open my yap and take the social consequences?

So I open my yap wide and take those consequences.

"The text suggests that future social development will require finding new ways to channel crowd forces constructively......" "...The key to future stability lies in developing leadership and institutions"

"new ways" ... "Leadership" ... "institutions" ... "Constructively"... the precise trifecta and its justification that led to into the current and damnable ORCHESTRATED calamity. ... just more circular reasoning observed here that appears to serve the monster of tyranny; quite clever but blindingly obvious.

Addressing the large herd of elephants in the room may be more useful for the future prospects of civilisation...for example...a robust education that furnishes an ability for critical discernment together with a critical understanding and knowledge of history; the adherence to the Code of Ethics / Canons of Journalism, (American Society of Newspaper Editors 1923) and removal of the scourge of State and institutionally controlled 'media'; the removal of the blight of unelected/unelectable artificial Supranational constructs (WHO,WEF, ECOSOC, UNFCCC, UNEP, UNESCO et al) promoting the delusion of a "small global" that fosters multiple illusions of interdependence while simultaneously destroying community.

One could go on, but the point is made.

...looking forward to reading this!...i cross-referenced (ref:2)it to a stack i've just posted...https://gerryoc.substack.com/p/concentration-and-the-psychology?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1958143&post_id=160411389&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=1uo2p8&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email ... adopting it's i expect rather similar and hugely interesting theme! Mine is directly from an old Napoleon Hill book, 1928 in fact..i had trouble with the recences in the content, which i hope resolves itself, and perhaps these posts complement one another?!...

Sadly humanity hasn't, and likely won't change in the future. There will.always be those seeking power and control who will continue to use these same psychological methods because they work...and the masses never seek to learn or ask questions, rather wanting to told what to think and do by others. Even with a huge elephant in the room, sheep will follow the leader for an easier path...never believing in their innate abilities to survive alone.

Told what to do, told their fear is justified, bribed with a myriad of things, told they will be taken care nd don't have to think for themselves...and they simply will COMPLY without resistance! Free Will has been so easily lost for so many because they simply don't want to take any responsibility for their actions or choices. That is until they are injured and,then they will always cry Foul, and seek others to fix them🤦‍♀️.
