Civilization is but a clearing in a vast and ancient forest. Every law, tradition, institution, and sacrifice exists because generations before us cut back the darkness. The forest has been trying to reclaim it ever since.
We have watches, but the wilderness has time.
It waits.
Men used to make vows. they promised to love someone until death and meant it. they named children after gods they hoped the child would live to honor. they stood at graves and swore revenge over sacred bread. at some point the vow died. we all decided quietly that meaning what you say was too much to ask
@VigilantFox My theory was that the vasoconstriction introduced directly to lungs by specifically smoking, reduced blood flow of spike protein to respiratory system. Of course these very concerned FDAHHS didn’t follow up on these relatively early findings
Many highly intelligent men will naturally gravitate towards logic due to their ability to rapidly process and dissect information, discern patterns, and understand intentions. They will often rely on this intellectual strength heavily, believing themselves to be akin to quantum computers of logical exploration.
As they progress in life, they will come to realise that when they reject their gut instincts in favour of pure logic, logic does not always prevail - an unsettling revelation of the limits of reason, one that often remains wilfully buried. This marks the gradual build-up towards the discovery and formation of their own spiritual concept - regardless of whether or not it is grounded in religion. Unless a life-altering event, major achievement, or profound heartbreak occurs - leading to a spiritual awakening, this shift or "correction" towards spirituality often emerges in their 30s. Around this time, they begin to reflect on past experiences that have defied explanation and grow weary of analysing basic patterns. Their soul beckons them towards that which cannot be easily unravelled. They come to realise that no logical system alone can capture the full complexity of human experience or provide all the answers. Thus, they begin to craft their own robust spiritual manifesto - one in which no stone is left unturned - something they build, reflect upon, and carefully refine.
The more intelligent and rational a person is, the more they demand a spirituality that makes sense - where it feels more logical to believe than to not - not in the sense of being provable, but in the sense of being necessary to acquire deeper understanding and meaning. The process of spiritual ascension often brings about a series of profound realisations, major shifts in their worldview, and a newfound ability to synthesise even greater mind-blowing revelations. Through this, they realise that their spirituality, or the belief in something greater, benefits them holistically. It is the "missing piece" that unites the scattered fragments of awareness within their mind. In many ways, it softens their souls, yet by doing so, it strengthens their spirit, making a fulfilling life more accessible.
@AmericanDebunk USAID ActBlue and other fraud is either stopped or under scrutiny. This is also a big issue for them. Dems are sloppy now, used to be well oiled. Not funded by taxpayers anymore. It shows.
If Nolan changed Homer to satisfy the Academy, then this is not courage. It is obedience.
But the larger shame belongs to the institution that made obedience look like virtue.
The Academy now behaves like a Ministry of Culture. Before a story may be honored, it must prove its loyalty to the approved language of the age.
The artist no longer asks whether the work is true, beautiful, or faithful to the inheritance he received. He asks whether it has passed inspection.
So, Homer is brought before the desk. The forms are checked. The myth is corrected. The old hero is made safe for the present regime.
This is how culture is trained to feel smaller. Not by burning the books, but by making every artist rewrite them before anyone is allowed to praise them.
And soon enough, no one needs to order the change.
The artist learns to do it himself.
@shipwreckedcrew Does the fact that he was a top level law enforcement “leader”, and him knowing the influence he wields in that capacity, lend to higher certainty that he knew the potential of his posting?
It’s an automated factory. It’s a supercomputer. We can’t make one, with all our knowledge and technology.
People pretending to be serious scientists say this was created by lightning striking a mud puddle. That’s what they still teach in school.
Wer die Frankfurter Schule, die Bolscheviken und Maos Kulturrevolution studiert hat, der hat keine Probleme die Ereignisse der letzten Jahre und der heutigen Zeit zu entschlüsseln.
Für alle anderen, die sich damit nicht auseinandergesetzt haben, muss sich diese koordinierte Demoralisierungskampagne wie ein zusammenhangloser Fiebertraum anfühlen.
Dass es eine glasklare sozialistische Strategie ist und alle noch so absurden Aspekte Teil des Plans sind, das erkennt man nur, wenn man historisch den Kommunismus und den Sozialismus, sowie im speziellen die kritische Theorie der Frankfurter Schule bzw. Fabian Society durchschaut hat.
Lass uns hier mal Ressourcen sammeln mit denen man sich bilden kann um wieder Durchblick zu erlangen:
@shipwreckedcrew Funding/money laundering disruption (USAID/Act Blue) has forced the existing Dem “leadership” into overt action, and those that would usually rise to Dem leadership, know the massive amount of crime involved and don’t want to get involved
