I'm on a confused planet where I notice that heroic thinkers as Bertrand Russell and George Orwell lived before anyone knew of a Global Warming crisis or Asteroids apparently able to have been the dinosaur doom. I also notice these minds greater than mine, barely noticed the tendencies of group-dwelling animals such as humans, to often collude to make some of the group into victimized status -- as for example the moment in Orwell's "1984" where Winston, forced by the overall group into uncontrollable terror, cries out "Do it to Julia" -- as if consigning a victim to a forcible sacrifice to save the would-be survivor. I am also impressed that, in this past three-quarters of a century, vast new ways to rescue planet and general kindness now exist -- but the capacities go under-utilized. Example? -- medevac helicopters or anti-asteroid rocketry or "red telephones" between nuclear nation chiefs to prevent accidental H-bomb war. I wonder: is such panoply of rescue -- a cornucopia that could include air force sized aerial firefighting -- is rescue left undone because of fearing of hazards or subconscious malignant hoping that evils will strike someone else. Sadly, great wisdom from the past, doesn't much apply to a world where perhaps the over-arching question is whether modern planet crisis should be met by modern planet rescue or whether to tragically accept to do nothing and hope the onrush of disasters will hit Gaza and Haiti or Cuba or Sudan or Ukraine and so on, and hoping more mini-pandemics will stay confined to Africa, while leaving ourselves to sit around healthfully toying with ideas and words, which is all I'm personally doing at age 79, here. History sometimes shows people in their thirties and early forties, sometimes combining to change the world, sometimes in kinder directions. I wonder if there's any such "prime-of-life" people out there? -- or maybe it's here, on the Internet, while I'm too much into my elderly grouch mood to notice?
Thank you for sharing your musings... the issue is that elite power over the centuries has managed to invert Reality... that is why we live in a world that does not make sense anymore. My blog advocates for turning our backs to this system while choosing cooperation instead of compettiion.
Very interesting post. Bertrand Russell, though, is an early voice for the Great Reset--you will own nothing and be happy. While being wealthy himself, he thought other people should let go of their possessions. He also had views on eugenics:
"Russell supported certain aspects of eugenics and did not believe it should be overlooked. Russell feared that the quality of the human race would deteriorate, so he supported certain eugenic practices (Ironside, 2006). For example, he wrote that so-called ‘feebleminded’ individuals should be sexually sterilized because they “are apt to have enormous numbers of illegitimate children, all, as a rule, wholly useless to the community” (Russell, 1957, p.259). Additionally, Russell encouraged those with higher intelligence to have as many children as possible in order to curb race deterioration (Ironside, 2006)."
He was also a member of the Fabian Society. Matt Ehret writes, "The most prominent founding members were Sidney and Beatrice Webb and George Bernard Shaw. This group was soon joined by various influential aspiring priests of the British Empire, namely leading Theosophist Annie Besant, Huxley protégé H.G. Wells, Bertrand Russell, Arthur Balfour, and the founder of Geopolitics Halford Mackinder."
I wonder how much we are manipulated by guilt, to not feel we deserve any security, much less comfort. Anyway, I've just been thinking along these lines lately. Interesting and thought provoking read.
It seems to me that you only saw the image and it triggered your response.
I do not go by the Greatr Reset, The Great Reset is merely a concept manipulating the truth,. We only own our souls because everything goes back to the earth. eventually. Governements conquered lands then attributed a so-called value to them, selling them also to the higher bidders. But the Planet belongs to no one in the end. The foundation of my reasoning is metaphysics and natural laws. The system has always twisted the polarity of each concept it is using to further its agenda.
Money and ownership have always be used as the carrot and the stick, meanwhile we live in a giamt illusion. When we follow the money the conditioning of society is a cake walk. We need to learn what all these intellectual folks knew and which causes us to find ourselves in this sad state of affaires. Theorsphists raised Krishnamurti since he was a child and whose work later on is remarkable. he is my favorite thinker. He really helps free the mind. His philosophy is based on the deep understanding of Reality. And anyone seeking to understand Reality will have to confront Esoteric Knowlege.
Nothing is new under the sun and some the these ideas were already out there in the Antiquity. Plato also once said that: Justice will be useful when money will be useless. We are approching that point of no return .
Addressing the argument I am making in this blog should focus on the absolute truth that Earth owns us..
