I wonder should we be looking toward elders for guidance, as the adults have yet to prove they much to offer in that regard. Perhaps it is time we look toward children and their natural curiosity and eagerness to discover the world as it is, before we arrogantly mold them into mindless versions of ourselves with all our attendant prejudices and superstitions.hoi.polloi wrote: As to whom I would classify as elders, perhaps, that is the problem: our world is really lacking in them in general.
I blamed statism in an earlier post, but that could be further reduced to belief in authority. I am still reprogramming myself on a daily basis to counteract all the reality denying messages I have received over the course of my life. B.F Skinner thought it of primary importance that the PTB have the ability to convince young minds that snow was black.
I am a nobody who spent a few days recording Kissinger at board meeting a few years ago. (Before I ever thought about any of this stuff). He was someone you would not notice in a crowd and didn't make me shiver when I got near him. I would be surprised if he personally has the physical capacity to directly harm anyone. Which makes the belief in authority critical to their evil plans. Why does anyone ever bother to listen to these psychopaths? You want to move entire populations into subservience on your "grand chessboard"? No thanks, we'll be over here working and playing and enjoying all the things a world not under the sway of psychopaths has to offer.

That's the plain reality of it all. But let me dream a little!...
