Britains Aleister Crowley who was working in the service of the British Government explained that the Occult is a useful training for intel tasks. He said there is a similarity in the way things work.
When in North America Crowley contacted a German Occultist and convinced him that it would be OK to sink the Lusitania. That helped Britain to get the US into WW2 [3]

Spence the author of [3] discusses the Protocols of the Elders of Sion and claims that it's first translation in english came in 1919 in the US and 1920 in Britain. But all those who have studied this topic, in my view including Spence himself, surely know that there was a translation registered at the British Museum in 1906 and that it had been translated in 1905 by an associate of Edward VII.
That omission is telling. In my view It means the author's omission is caused by respect for that late high Masonic monarch.

Nesta Webster was a British propaganda mouthpiece. Her father was one of the richest men in Britain and the owner of Barclays Bank. Her Brother worked in the British Propaganda Bureau. Websters task was to divert attention from the fact that Britain started all revolutions and to blame it on the jews. Those jews involved were all working for Britain. More wellknown cases were the jewish emloyees of the British Weapons industry. One of which also helped Britain to convince the germasn to support the Bolshevik revolution. Webster manages to blame the Bolshevik revolution on both jews and Germans but has no answer when asked about why Trotsky was set free in Kanada. [1]
Just to pick an example.

And the french revolution likewise was a British operation. This is confirmed by the French Jacobins who praised their British mentors in London Revolution Society.[2]
Generally speaking Freemasonry was largely dominated by the British Empires needs. The very important Lord Palmerston was secretly the leader of world freemasonry.
The Grand Patriarch and so was Edward VII to whom Palmerston was a mentor.
.
In between it may have been the case that Albert Pike was the world leader.
Pike was close to the British side.
Those who think the jews are pulling the strings have gotten their views strengthened under the influence of propaganda. Some of which has come from jews in Britains service.

Speaking of reading, the world's most widely read English newspaper is the Daily Mail. Founded by Alfred Harmsworth (lol), a very freemasonic sounding name indeed, later to become Viscount Northcliffe, la di da, the morning daily made it's first published appearance on May 4, 1896.
5+4+1+8+9+6 = .....33.
Alfred was a friend and mentor to another upcoming newspaperman, an Australian called Keith Murdoch. Later to have a son named Rupert. Anudder high level mason... probably Illuminati grade:).
The below quote from this article, about 'lived inside latin...' is something that I had wanted for myself when I attended standard state junior school/secondary comprehensive.
***I made sure that my son would attend a grammar school, hopefully to enjoy that higher level of education including latin.***
========
"Hoffman excavates this lost world obsessively. Eight-year-old boys at Litchfield Grammar School lived inside Latin—not studying it, but inhabiting it. "Latin grammar, readings from the easier Roman authors, the writing of simple themes and exercises in Latin." No French. No modern history. No science. These were considered frills a boy could pick up himself. "
About 5 years before 9/11, I was only just learning about Zionism. Now I already had quite a few friends and some work colleagues that were born into Judaism. Many didn’t have a clue about Zionism, but a few did. What really surprised me though was that a few of them didn’t believe the “6 million gassed WW2”. I’d never heard that before. Some showed me articles sourced from the Red Cross and similar organisations saying those deaths were far, far lower. —- Still looking for a source of info that I can fully trust about the “6 million gassed”.
According to Douglas Reed (The Conspiracy of Zion and in his previous works), Alfred Harmsworth was murdered by you know who because he was appalled by what the British Government was doing in Palestine. Reed was a member of his staff and was with him in France not long before he passed on. Reed was baffled at the time by his behaviour, but at that stage, he had no idea of what was really going on. Only later did he realise why Harmsworth was so paranoid and so in fear of his life.
Harmsworth was a mason and part of the system. They all are. His brother or other family members inherited his media empire. Jonathan Harmsworth (fourth generation) controls it today. Alfred might have died from his medical treatments.
If you read pages 337-341 of Reed’s «The Controversy of Zion,» he gives two convincing arguments why Harmsworth most probably did not die of his medical treatment but was poisoned.
He had publicly called for an investigation of the authenticity of the Protocols, and he had stated he was opposed to the Zionists taking over Palestine.
Reed was assigned to accompany Harmsworth for several weeks just before his death, and what he reveals hints strongly that Harmsworth was convinced he was being poisoned and was in fear for his life.
Harmsworth was most certainly a mason, but not all of them would have, or are aware of, what the grand plan actually entails. Weishaupt continually bragged about enlisting influential people into the cause, who thought they were really on the side of the good guys.
Many thanks to Unbekoming for this magnificent essay. It is by far the best I've read on the topics of reading, writing, literacy, communication and books in general and I am sharing it with the few people I know who will be able to comprehend all that is written.
I myself am an old Reader, maybe one of the Last that's described in this article. I grew up in the 1950s and '60s and went to Catholic schools all my life. Although I never went to college, I got a better education than most Harvard grads of today; if nothing else, the nuns made sure we knew how to read, write and do basic math as well as having to memorize many prayers both in Latin and English.
That discipline has served me well as I have spent most of my life working for lawyers who are supposed to be word smiths but who are mostly hacks. The A.I. robots like Grok and Chat do a much better job of writing than 99% of them. No wonder they are all afraid of losing their jobs!
Since my grandchildren became old enough to learn to read, I have been concerned that they would end up to be functionally illiterate like so many millions of their peers. I read books to them from the time they were born and I always had plenty of books in my home for when they visited.
Nevertheless, and sad to say, they are all teenagers who are addicted to their phones such that I have lost the battle to save them from their screens. As Bekoming puts it so accurately:
"Each interaction with electronic media reshapes neural pathways, training the brain toward surface skimming rather than depth penetration. The machinery isn't neutral. It restructures consciousness at the biological level."
I have no idea what the future will bring in this regard, but I still keep my own library of hundreds of books of all sorts for my visitors to read when they come to my house. I also have an innate mistrust of the digital world since I live in a rural area where we have lots of blackouts and no electricity. That really makes one appreciate being able to read and write without benefit of a computer!
There are those today who make excuses for their inability to write on the level described by saying that "brevity is the soul of wit" (which may be true in some instances); however, as a culture it is clear that we have already lost much of an irreplaceable gift that is the foundation of Western civilization and culture. My great hope is that the pendulum will swing to the other side and books and literature will once again be valued by the coming generations.
Thank you so much for this! I am alone in my reading activities; the few in knew are long gone. I am not nearly as literate as you, but I have read all my life, working on reading more, and strongly prefer paper books by far. You are an inspiration! And yes, my kids are also screen addicts. Sigh.
Very well expressed! Marshall McLuhan warned us in the 60s about the electronic media and new technology which would transform all systems of learning and traditional forms of literacy; and the deeper effects would be the loss of personal identities and sovereignty which would be lost to ever-increasing technocratic control; he stressed the need to maintain critical awareness in processing the vast amounts of information we would be inundated with via the internet, etc.
i was young when McLuhan's "the medium is the message" was a buzzword and didn't really understand what it meant. these days i am understanding it better and better.
Another big thing that is going on is that half the country has chronic heavy metal poisoning from their vaccines (I guess). One of the symptoms is an inability to concentrate very well. Another big symptom, by the way, is procrastination. These, along with chronic anxiety, are the kind of opening salvo of this toxicity.
My mother was one of those excellent high school English teachers and I got home schooled. I also went to an expensive girls boarding school where the ability to organize and write was beaten in to me. One of the things the French teachers would have us do is memorize poetry and then recite in front of the class. ("O rage, O desespoir, O viellesse ennemi!")
Recently, I have been advised to write my blog posts in "pillar format" so the Google bots will notice me. My advisors get AI to format articles for me and then I go in and write on top of that. The results are a tad soulless but I have been getting compliments from my public on my writing style all of a sudden. People like this form with explanatory headings and short paragraphs. I guess it is easier for them to digest and not have their mind go wandering off all the time.
I have trouble concentrating myself. I describe it as forgetting the beginning of a paragraph before you get to the end. I ascribe this to toxicity and not just bad habits alone. Mercury toxicity causes a lot of intrusive thoughts and anxiety and I have noticed a tendency to want to watch video shorts to shut my mind up. My young adult friends think their anxiety disorder has to do with the internet, but I am starting to think that they are toxic from their vaccines, have a lot of intrusive and bothersome thoughts, and the doom scrolling shuts their mind up and gives some relief.
Had a mouthful myself and your comments about procrastination especially hit home, as well as anxiety, etc. Was told in therapy for my anxiety off-hand that 'you know you have adhd, don't you?' at 53. Now 61 and beginning to have a good idea that my old fillings are very much involved. Than you@
Most of the US population is probably at least a little brain-damaged from all the early childhood poisoning (vaxxing), which began about a century ago, ramped up in the 1950s and has been escalating ever since.
Perhaps a major part of the damage is to the pineal gland, known also as the third eye or seat of the soul, which is linked to circadian rhythms and spiritual perception.
A damaged pineal gland would also tend to make people more easily programmable, without a spiritual foundation and less able to perceive truth.
Then there is the proliferation of microwave technology which is used in medicine to open up the blood-brain barrier to allow drugs to enter our delicate brains. Of course, the ubiquitous wireless devices are heavily advertised and portrayed as safe and convenient. How convenient.
Well, I just know a lot about mercury. And there is tons of it all over the place and it causes all kinds of different symptoms among which all those things you mentioned.
Some accomodation of limited reading comprehension capacity, is reasonable.
Every cohort exists on an attribute distribution curve. Reasonable accommodation will be of utility to the descending curve of the distribution, unnecessary for the outliers.
This may be to the point of the author; you are constrained in your reach by the incentive structure. It works on us all, continually. To gain readership, we must compromise. that compromise needn't be total, though. No need to give up on natural style of conveyance, we must set aside the time to write those monographs that we know are of appeal only to ourselves and perhaps a few outliers.
It's a question of intent. Do we intend to satisfy ourselves, or is there a part of us that intends to satisfy others? It's not a question of legitimacy, and we are ill-served by imposing such a stricture upon ourselves.
Yes. I had to put my very best article in to this pillar form in order to get noticed by robots, actually. Not even real human beings. It is so when humans are searching for answers, I will come out on top of the Google results. And then I will reach more humans.
I have been asking myself about my motivations. A very strong one is to make money. Then there is a desire to help all those poor sick people out there.
Wow! Massively thought-provoking. Will share with those I know that will (hopefully) relate. Thank you for the insights and the warning. Thank you for the time and energy involved. Please carry on.
"Intuition, prayer, creative acts; if you can escape the noise g-d will talk to you."
Respectfully-intended and sincerely-offered question; why the hyphenation and not simply write "God?"
Your comment is true in the sense of being factual and affective. Stillness is required to "hear" God. I use the quotation marks because His word does not require sensitivity to an audio frequency.
God talks through many agents: angels, demons, spirits, synchronicity, coincidence, inspiration, animals of course. Trying too hard to hear will drive you mad, not hearing at all will also drive you mad. Words are not to be taken lightly. And I rarely invoke the name, at least not on the internet. Best!
I have always had an aversion to symbology and not knowing why until I started listening and reading the great Jorden Maxwell. He along with David Icke opened up a world I was not prepared for .911 ,as much as it has now been understood , should have been the aha event that turned the publics perception about who and how things run the world as JFK's ritual killing should have to a lesser extent. One wonders what and how big the next event will be that finally might wake the populace into understanding but from what I am seeing in my neighborhood world I don't hold much hope. I have tried to fight the squeezing down of the language by not texting, Shorthand or not, or by using the infantile emoji ever as I seemed to grasp early on what this was all about.All one can do in my opinion is resist what "They" are pulling you towards doing. Don't follow the latest whatever it is is the new "thing". I recently saw someone say only dead fish go with the flow . That to me was a little bit of truth that resonates.Another great read!
That was a very well stated post, thank you! It seems also important to write in cursive, when possible. I also make sure to keep analog clocks on my walls, so my (now grown) kids can be as comfortable with it as with their digital screens.
Each 'advance' in technology ushers diminishment of skill. Socrates warned of the written word and book learning as opposed to learning orally from a wise guide: "They will seem to be men of wide knowledge, when they will usually be ignorant. And this spurious appearance of intelligence will make them difficult company.” The book is dead and will not elaborate or discuss. Perhaps the written word is the beginning of The Death Cult, The Beast that rules One World. Surely Socrates lamented the death of memory, "The invention of writing will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them. You have invented an elixir not of memory, but of reminding; and you offer your pupils the appearance of wisdom, not true wisdom." And as the wise readers of books today gather in basements clinging to 'old' technology are dismayed at the stultifying banal myopia of digital media; one realizes not many read anymore. Nor have any memory or desire for knowledge. Can a digital exchange qualify as conversation, discussion or argument. Socrates was right about one thing, that the masonic orders know only too well, "The misuse of language induces evil in the soul."
Thank you for your inspiring insights. As a newcomer to your writings, the below comments alone are a breathtaking testimony to your work. I’m flabbergasted. Thank You
I can testify to the value of the free Masonry ritual. After initiation I made 300 friends over an evening.
Within a couple of months, my self esteem and confidence was boosted, It wasn’t until I stood up and recited a 40 minute Charge to the initiate, all from memory that I realised the unspoken benefit of the Craft. We also rally around to collect senior members monthly and get them a 4 course meal free of charge and company for the evening. Again unspoken caretaking of our Brother senior citizens ensuring they get a good meal and flex their corporal muscles frequently.
Free Masonry gets bad press and It always has done. I have read Gary Waynes Genesis 6 conspiracy and other fringe writers, I am somewhat of a historian and have spent 40yrs in research.
I have seen lots of good come out of lodges. It is fair to say there are 3 types of Mason’s; Knife and Fork who attend for the social aspect, networking who want the benefit of connections and business opportunity and then the Historians who want to learn the history, the allegory and the story behind the rituals. This includes Philosophy, cosmology, astrology and mythology.
Fascinating and disturbing. However, I am not fully persuaded of your thesis. I find it plausible that this is a case of true, true, but unrelated. True, cognitive deterioration is occurring through the implementation of "sound-bite" levels of thinking. True, the purveyors of shallowness continue to hawk their products nonetheless. However, I think your notion that those who benefit from shallow thinking orchestrated the entire cognitive destruction project to be able to trick the public more easily by hampering their ability to comprehend what they observe is far from established. While certainly possible, you need to adduce evidence of such conspiratorial intent. It is not sufficient to impute that it "makes sense" since it works to the advantage of those who wish to deceive the public. I find another explanation more plausible: One, there is and always have been people who are easily fooled (to wit, the famous quip, probably falsely attributed to P.T. Barnum, and made in the mid nineteenth century, "There's a sucker born every minute". In sum, naïveté and shallow thinking have always been with us. Two, the "sound-bite" type of communication, which has found its greatest proponents in the advertising industry and in social media, persists because it is strongly monetized. In short, it makes more money oversimplifying things or even using catchy phrases that are completely ridiculous prima facie.
The fact that this exacerbates the gullibility of the race is useful to the powers that be, and hence not opposed by them. However, it does not prove intent or complicity with this dumbing- down cultural trend. Three, it is possible that if one fails to understand something well, it is not entirely one's own lack of cognitive prowess that is at fault. It may be that the writing style of the author is not clear or accessible enough. It has been said that if you can't explain a complex idea, however arcane, in a manner that one untrained in the subject can understand it, you don't understand it fully yourself. This is not to imply that my failure to understand your point is entirely your fault for not explaining it properly, but equally so, it is not necessarily entirely my fault for being unable to understand something poorly explicated. In sum, I think there is certainly something to the notion that we have become soft and intellectually flabby over the past century or so, but we were not all intellectual giants previously either. And the proliferation of a culture that doesn't challenge us to think better has undoubtedly exacerbated this, but does not prove that it was manufactured deliberately, and is not the entire explanation for today's widespread intellectual flabbiness.
You make some very interesting and insightful points; but historical evidence points to many examples of very advanced and civilized cultures being deliberately manipulated by minds that were more evil than clever or both evil AND clever; this is usually accompanied by mass propaganda techniques which emphasize single minded and collective control at the cost of relinquishing personal and critical thinking; That "intellectual flabbiness" was called the "collective stupidity" of the masses by Detrick Bonhoeffer which he described as a "human defect" that prevented openness to reason or facts; many of us, through human laziness and cowardice were and are all too willing to buy into the false promise of "you will own nothing and be happy" which requires no need for critical thinking skills, much less thinking at all.
I agree, Tony. Manipulation and exploitation of naïveté has been with us for eons. And just being observant enough to realize it is going on doesn't immunize one from its effects. I know I have been fooled many times in the past by those selling well wrapped baseless stories. Probably will get fooled again too. I also believe that a lot of what we are going through now in this crazy world is by design, and with the intention of confusing us, turning against one another, poisoning us, and even debilitating us. Nevertheless, that is an impression, not something backed by clear evidence, however probable it appears to be. I believe when one makes claims of deliberate stultification of the population by someone or some group, it is best to have evidence to support those claims.
yes. also, there are ways to make things understandable and even obvious to people of wide intellectual disparity. George Orwell demonstrated this with "1984" as did other authors like Ray Bradbury in "Fahrenheit 451" - books that were popular and quite readable yet made the point. it doesn't have to be abstruse archaic concepts written in 600 page tomes with Latin quotes.
Britains Aleister Crowley who was working in the service of the British Government explained that the Occult is a useful training for intel tasks. He said there is a similarity in the way things work.

Some accomodation of limited reading comprehension capacity, is reasonable.
Every cohort exists on an attribute distribution curve. Reasonable accommodation will be of utility to the descending curve of the distribution, unnecessary for the outliers.
This may be to the point of the author; you are constrained in your reach by the incentive structure. It works on us all, continually. To gain readership, we must compromise. that compromise needn't be total, though. No need to give up on natural style of conveyance, we must set aside the time to write those monographs that we know are of appeal only to ourselves and perhaps a few outliers.
It's a question of intent. Do we intend to satisfy ourselves, or is there a part of us that intends to satisfy others? It's not a question of legitimacy, and we are ill-served by imposing such a stricture upon ourselves.
Yes. I had to put my very best article in to this pillar form in order to get noticed by robots, actually. Not even real human beings. It is so when humans are searching for answers, I will come out on top of the Google results. And then I will reach more humans.
I have been asking myself about my motivations. A very strong one is to make money. Then there is a desire to help all those poor sick people out there.
Who is Bain? Donald Bain? Alexander Bain ?
Not sure what you are referring to.
He’s asking about one of the authors Luc (Unbekoming) referred to in the essay
Wow! Massively thought-provoking. Will share with those I know that will (hopefully) relate. Thank you for the insights and the warning. Thank you for the time and energy involved. Please carry on.
People used to be able to think better, or differently.
People in 19xx could understand the cultural touchstones of19xx.
The majority of people, as always, seem to be beyond all hope, and are becoming even more hopeless.
Maybe what you are starting to realize is what the people at the top realized along time ago.
Intuition, prayer, creative acts; if you can escape the noise g-d will talk to you.
"Intuition, prayer, creative acts; if you can escape the noise g-d will talk to you."
Respectfully-intended and sincerely-offered question; why the hyphenation and not simply write "God?"
Your comment is true in the sense of being factual and affective. Stillness is required to "hear" God. I use the quotation marks because His word does not require sensitivity to an audio frequency.
God talks through many agents: angels, demons, spirits, synchronicity, coincidence, inspiration, animals of course. Trying too hard to hear will drive you mad, not hearing at all will also drive you mad. Words are not to be taken lightly. And I rarely invoke the name, at least not on the internet. Best!
Thank you; I begin to understand.
.....And the best to you, as well.
I have heard others who do that say they do that as a mark of reverence and respect. Not sure, myself I write it out but always capitalize it.
I have always had an aversion to symbology and not knowing why until I started listening and reading the great Jorden Maxwell. He along with David Icke opened up a world I was not prepared for .911 ,as much as it has now been understood , should have been the aha event that turned the publics perception about who and how things run the world as JFK's ritual killing should have to a lesser extent. One wonders what and how big the next event will be that finally might wake the populace into understanding but from what I am seeing in my neighborhood world I don't hold much hope. I have tried to fight the squeezing down of the language by not texting, Shorthand or not, or by using the infantile emoji ever as I seemed to grasp early on what this was all about.All one can do in my opinion is resist what "They" are pulling you towards doing. Don't follow the latest whatever it is is the new "thing". I recently saw someone say only dead fish go with the flow . That to me was a little bit of truth that resonates.Another great read!
Well said!!!
Thank you Tony! I appreciate you saying so as I consider myself a hack compared to others chiming in.
That was a very well stated post, thank you! It seems also important to write in cursive, when possible. I also make sure to keep analog clocks on my walls, so my (now grown) kids can be as comfortable with it as with their digital screens.
i have gathered that not only are kids not being taught to write in cursive anymore, but that they also cannot even read it!
Thank you! My wife ,a teacher of second grade for 42 yrs., has stated exactly the same many times.
Each 'advance' in technology ushers diminishment of skill. Socrates warned of the written word and book learning as opposed to learning orally from a wise guide: "They will seem to be men of wide knowledge, when they will usually be ignorant. And this spurious appearance of intelligence will make them difficult company.” The book is dead and will not elaborate or discuss. Perhaps the written word is the beginning of The Death Cult, The Beast that rules One World. Surely Socrates lamented the death of memory, "The invention of writing will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them. You have invented an elixir not of memory, but of reminding; and you offer your pupils the appearance of wisdom, not true wisdom." And as the wise readers of books today gather in basements clinging to 'old' technology are dismayed at the stultifying banal myopia of digital media; one realizes not many read anymore. Nor have any memory or desire for knowledge. Can a digital exchange qualify as conversation, discussion or argument. Socrates was right about one thing, that the masonic orders know only too well, "The misuse of language induces evil in the soul."
Very astutely stated!
I'm sick of doom and gloom. You empower the devil by obsessing over it. The path to the divine is open if you don't clutter it with fear!
death force insists you pay attention to it.
Thank you for your inspiring insights. As a newcomer to your writings, the below comments alone are a breathtaking testimony to your work. I’m flabbergasted. Thank You
I can testify to the value of the free Masonry ritual. After initiation I made 300 friends over an evening.
Within a couple of months, my self esteem and confidence was boosted, It wasn’t until I stood up and recited a 40 minute Charge to the initiate, all from memory that I realised the unspoken benefit of the Craft. We also rally around to collect senior members monthly and get them a 4 course meal free of charge and company for the evening. Again unspoken caretaking of our Brother senior citizens ensuring they get a good meal and flex their corporal muscles frequently.
Free Masonry gets bad press and It always has done. I have read Gary Waynes Genesis 6 conspiracy and other fringe writers, I am somewhat of a historian and have spent 40yrs in research.
I have seen lots of good come out of lodges. It is fair to say there are 3 types of Mason’s; Knife and Fork who attend for the social aspect, networking who want the benefit of connections and business opportunity and then the Historians who want to learn the history, the allegory and the story behind the rituals. This includes Philosophy, cosmology, astrology and mythology.
Fascinating and disturbing. However, I am not fully persuaded of your thesis. I find it plausible that this is a case of true, true, but unrelated. True, cognitive deterioration is occurring through the implementation of "sound-bite" levels of thinking. True, the purveyors of shallowness continue to hawk their products nonetheless. However, I think your notion that those who benefit from shallow thinking orchestrated the entire cognitive destruction project to be able to trick the public more easily by hampering their ability to comprehend what they observe is far from established. While certainly possible, you need to adduce evidence of such conspiratorial intent. It is not sufficient to impute that it "makes sense" since it works to the advantage of those who wish to deceive the public. I find another explanation more plausible: One, there is and always have been people who are easily fooled (to wit, the famous quip, probably falsely attributed to P.T. Barnum, and made in the mid nineteenth century, "There's a sucker born every minute". In sum, naïveté and shallow thinking have always been with us. Two, the "sound-bite" type of communication, which has found its greatest proponents in the advertising industry and in social media, persists because it is strongly monetized. In short, it makes more money oversimplifying things or even using catchy phrases that are completely ridiculous prima facie.
The fact that this exacerbates the gullibility of the race is useful to the powers that be, and hence not opposed by them. However, it does not prove intent or complicity with this dumbing- down cultural trend. Three, it is possible that if one fails to understand something well, it is not entirely one's own lack of cognitive prowess that is at fault. It may be that the writing style of the author is not clear or accessible enough. It has been said that if you can't explain a complex idea, however arcane, in a manner that one untrained in the subject can understand it, you don't understand it fully yourself. This is not to imply that my failure to understand your point is entirely your fault for not explaining it properly, but equally so, it is not necessarily entirely my fault for being unable to understand something poorly explicated. In sum, I think there is certainly something to the notion that we have become soft and intellectually flabby over the past century or so, but we were not all intellectual giants previously either. And the proliferation of a culture that doesn't challenge us to think better has undoubtedly exacerbated this, but does not prove that it was manufactured deliberately, and is not the entire explanation for today's widespread intellectual flabbiness.
You make some very interesting and insightful points; but historical evidence points to many examples of very advanced and civilized cultures being deliberately manipulated by minds that were more evil than clever or both evil AND clever; this is usually accompanied by mass propaganda techniques which emphasize single minded and collective control at the cost of relinquishing personal and critical thinking; That "intellectual flabbiness" was called the "collective stupidity" of the masses by Detrick Bonhoeffer which he described as a "human defect" that prevented openness to reason or facts; many of us, through human laziness and cowardice were and are all too willing to buy into the false promise of "you will own nothing and be happy" which requires no need for critical thinking skills, much less thinking at all.
I agree, Tony. Manipulation and exploitation of naïveté has been with us for eons. And just being observant enough to realize it is going on doesn't immunize one from its effects. I know I have been fooled many times in the past by those selling well wrapped baseless stories. Probably will get fooled again too. I also believe that a lot of what we are going through now in this crazy world is by design, and with the intention of confusing us, turning against one another, poisoning us, and even debilitating us. Nevertheless, that is an impression, not something backed by clear evidence, however probable it appears to be. I believe when one makes claims of deliberate stultification of the population by someone or some group, it is best to have evidence to support those claims.
yes. also, there are ways to make things understandable and even obvious to people of wide intellectual disparity. George Orwell demonstrated this with "1984" as did other authors like Ray Bradbury in "Fahrenheit 451" - books that were popular and quite readable yet made the point. it doesn't have to be abstruse archaic concepts written in 600 page tomes with Latin quotes.
Belief is forced satisfaction
Knowledge is free discomfort.
Brilliant, true. Illuminates what thinking people feel in these times but just can't put their finger on it.
.... interestin head, so....whats the rest of this post about anyway?!... 😀.... 🙏➕🙏...
