A personal note:
Both my parents lived through two world wars & economic crises. I don't remember them complaining. Father was a stoic with no friends, Mother was a skeptic with few friends. My children will remember me as a complaining father because I always absurdly believed in a better future.
Some Views & abuse:
There are 2 kinds of
dominant species on Earth: #Humans who exist through evolution and #Humanoids who are constantly created from scratch, from a pool of
useless genes which makes them unable to learn, use logic, empathize and
consider their own and everyone else's future,
Martyrs are not born.
They are trained to disavow basic instincts, to deny cognitive dissonance and
live in a surreal, alien environment, to fulfill a deluded fantasy, prophecy or
vision of real or imaginary powers who may or may not profit from the martyr's
activities."
Where traditional
scholarship requires memorization of holy scriptures in a foreign language
before one learns that or any other language, comprehension of the written word
decreases in proportion to increased ability to quote scriptures, teachings,
rules & regulations.
Do the youth in
developed countries recognize the concept of apprenticeship? Can they reach up
to a Platonic cloud for it or would they just look down upon the practice from
the cloud since they innately know more about everything than their elders and
live in a bigger cloud.
When most humans could
only perceive 3 dimensions, they were unaware of their short lifespans. Now
that most perceive 4 dimensions, even if it leads to cognitive dissonance for
many, lifespans have been reduced. Discovery of more dimensions will not be
well received by humanity.
