introduction
HAVE YOU EVER FOUND YOURSELF WORKING ON AND GETTING SO DEEPLY ENTANGLED INTO A PROJECT OR SUBJECT THAT YOU ALMOST FORGET THE PURPOSE OF THE PURSUIT, UNTIL REMINDED AT JUST THE RIGHT TIME WHAT THE PURPOSE AND REASON FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU ARE DOING IS FOR AGAIN? IN A CYCLE OVER AND OVER.
premise
TO START THIS BLOG/PODCAST SERIES, TRYING TO PICK SIDES OR DEFEND ONE OR THE OTHER ON ANY POLITICAL SUBJECTS IS NOT MY INTENTION. HOWEVER, I DO SEE THESE CURRENT SITUATIONS AS AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY TO REFERENCE THE BACKGROUND ON WHATS HAPPENING, HOW WE GOT HERE AND HOW THE THEMES, THAT SEEM TO MOVE IN CYCLES HAVE AND ALWAYS WILL, EFFECT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US.
RIGHT NOW THERE IS ALOT CHANGING IN THE WORLD. IT SEEMS THAT THE TEMPORARY ILLUSION OF STABILITY IS QUICKLY COMING TO AN END. EMPIRES COME AND GO. SO WHAT STAYS? TRADITION? THAT COMES AND GOES AS WELL. IS IT INFORMATION? SYMBOLS? OR IS IT PATTERNS? IN 2026, AT THE DAWN OF A NEW AGE. THERE ARE MANY CHOICES COLLECTIVELY THAT WILL SHAPE HUMANITIES FUTURE IN A VERY IMPACTFUL WAY.
A QUOTE FROM JOHN D ROCKEFELLER, “I DON’T WANT A NATION OF THINKERS I WANT A NATION OF WORKERS” DIVIDE AND CONQUER. THATS HOW THEY STAY ON TOP. “LET THE PEOPLE DESTROY THEMSELVES, THE PEOPLE ARE IGNORANT OF THE FORCES OF CONTROL”. THEY ENSLAVE YOU NOW. NOT ONLY TO AN ILLUSIVE MATERIAL DIMENSION, THEY ALSO NOW ENSLAVE YOU TO A 2D MATRIX OF DATA. WAKE UP!
THERE IS A BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL WORLD OUTSIDE. WHEN WE BLOCK OUT EVERYTHING AND FILL OUR MINDS WITH ALGORITHMIC BRAIN ROT, IT'S EASY TO NOT SEE THE VERY NATURAL WONDERS OF THE WORLD WE LIVE IN THAT WE ARE ALLOWING/HELPING TO ROT. DESPITE THE MARVELS OF THE WORLD, THERE ARE TERRIBLE CONDITIONS SPREAD THROUGHOUT. THERE IS DESTRUCTION OF OUR ECOSYSTEM AND ENSLAVEMENT OF OUR PEOPLE. IF YOU THINK YOU ARE SAFE YOU ARE WRONG. THOSE AT THE LOWEST LEVEL ARE SIMPLY THE ONES AFFECTED FIRST. AS GOES THE CYCLE. THIS DISRUPTION WILL MAKE ITS WAY TO EVERY LEVEL, EVENTUALLY TO THE TOP. SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE OF SHEER CAUSE AND EFFECT.
CONTINUOUS CONSUMPTION. WHY NOT GIVE BACK? PEOPLE DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO. WE SEE WHAT THEY WOULD RATHER DO. PEOPLE TAKE THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE TO “MAKE THINGS EASIER” FOR THEMSELVES. PEOPLE FORGET. WHAT WERE THE PRINCIPALS THIS COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED ON? WHAT WAS THE POINT OF "MANIFEST DESTINY"? MONEY? TERRITORY? WERE WE EVER REALLY THINKING OF THOSE WHO WOULD COME AFTER US? WAS THE SERIES OF HISTORICAL EVENTS DELIBERATE AND PLANNED? WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT ENTIRE GENERATIONS WOULD BE SACRIFICED? THAT THESE ROADS, BRIDGES, INFRASTRUCTURES WOULD BE BUILT ON AND STILL ARE BEING BUILT ON, THE BACKS OF SLAVERY AND CHEAP LABOUR. STILL? THAT WARS SACRAFICE COUNTLESS LIVES. DO THEY REALLY CARE ABOUT THAT? OR WILL THE FOCUS ALWAYS JUST BE PROFIT AND GREED HERE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA? IN THE CROWN JEWEL OF THE WESTERN “FREE WORLD”. ESPECIALLY NOW IN THE 21ST CENTURY.
IF YOU GO BACK TO COLONIAL ERA ENGLAND. WHEN THE BRITISH CAME HERE, THIS WAS A BUSINESS ENTERPRISE. LETTING THE RELIGIOUS DOGMA FOOL YOU AND CHOOSING TO BOW DOWN DESTINES ONE TO BE ENSLAVED UNTIL THEY STAND UP. LET’S NOT FORGET WHAT THE MASSACHUSETTS BAY COLONY WAS. WHAT THESE CHARTERS AND SIMILAR CHARTERS ESTABLISHED MEANT AND HOW THEY WERE USED. IF YOU FORGET THE WAY MONEY WAS USED, THE WAY PEOPLE WERE USED, THE WAY BANKS OPERATED. WHAT THE “RHODE ISLAND SYSTEM” WAS AND WHY THE SYSTEM WAS INVENTED? HISTORY IS SURE TO REPEAT. IMAGINE THE GUILDED AGE, THROUGH THE GREAT DEPRESSION AND INTO THE POST COLD WAR ERA. CONSIDER THAT SLAVERY "ENDED" 161 YEARS AGO, WOMEN GAINED THE RIGHT TO VOTE 105 YEARS AGO, VIETNAM ENDED 51 YEARS AGO AND AMERICA IS ONLY 250 YEARS OLD. THE REGARD FOR HUMAN RIGHTS IS VERY RECENT IF EVEN MORE THAN A SECOND THOUGHT. EACH OF US IS GUILTY OF CONTRIBUTING TO THIS TO SOME DEGREE. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TREATED WITH LITTLE TO NO RESPECT, REGARD OR DIGNITY THROUGH HISTORY AND INTO TODAY EVEN IF IT IS NOT RIGHT IN YOUR OWN FACE. ALL IN THE NAME OF GREED AND CONTROL. THIS WAY OF SOCIETY HAS NOT AND PROBABLY WILL NEVER CHANGE. PEOPLE CAME HERE WITH AN INTENT ON MAKING MONEY, AS THEY HISTORICALLY TEND TO DO. WHAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING NOW IS THE SAME PROCESS IN MODERN FORM. THE RICH GET RICHER AND SO THE PEOPLE MUST STAND TALLER. OR RISK NOT STANDING AT ALL.
Closing statements
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. WHEN ONE LACKS KNOWLEDGE THEY ARE IGNORANT TO BOTH RELEVANT INFORMATION AS WELL AS THE CONTEXT OF A GIVEN SUBJECT. IN OTHER WORDS, HUMANS HAVE EVOLVED TO USE THEIR BRAINS AS THEIR GREATEST ASSET. SHEDDING AWAY UNNECESSARY FEATURES TO AN EVER “PERFECTED” FORM. WE RELY ON INTELLIGENCE AS A TOOL. A TOOL TO MAKE TOOLS, TO FIND MATERIALS, TO ANALYZE SITUATIONS RATHER THAN SIMPLY REACT. TO PLAN AHEAD, AND ACT. A CAPABILITY NEARLY INFINITE. WE CAN ADAPT TO ANY FUNCTION. THE FURTHER IN THE PAST YOU GO THE LESS TOOLS WE HAVE. LESS ITEMS OF CONVENIENCE, OF EXTRACTION, OF DESTRUCTION, OF CREATION. NOW WITH THE ROBOTS, THE AI AND WITH COMMERCIAL SPACE EXPLORATION ON THE HORIZON. OUR POPULATION WILL CONTINUE TO GROW AND WHEN STARVED OF KNOWLEDGE THE UNEDUCATED AND STARVED MIND WILL FIND ITSELF RESTLESS, STRESSED AND LESS CAPABLE. AS THE MIND IS BUILT FOR STIMULATION. WITH LIMITED KNOWLEDGE COMES THE ADDITIONAL DANGERS OF THE IGNORANT. A "KNOT" IN THE SYSTEM. WHEN ONE GROUP ISOLATES FROM THE REST OF THE POPULATION THEN BEGINS TO FEED ON THE PRIMARY ORGANISM, WE CALL THIS A CANCER. THESE BUSINESS DEALINGS ARE A RESULT OF OUR ADHERENCE TO THE CONCEPTS OF “ROYALTY” AND “CHARTER”. THAT SYSTEM IS BASED ON THAT OF THE PRIEST KINGS OF OLD AND THE MORPHING OF THIS CONCEPT THROUGH OUR HISTORY.
REGARDLESS OF WHAT POLITICAL AFFILIATION AND REGARDLESS OF WHAT GOD, GODS, GODDESSES OR NONE THAT YOU CHOOSE TO FOLLOW. THIS IS ABOUT SPECIFIC TRADITIONS AND RITUALS THAT HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR 100S AND 1000S OF YEARS AND CONTINUE TO DO SO TO PRESENT DAY. THE WORLD IS AND HAS BEEN GOVERNED BY THE POLICIES OF SPECIFIC GROUPS OF VERY POWERFUL AND WEALTHY FAMILIES. SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED IN SO LITTLE TIME THAT HISTORY CAN VERY EASILY REPEAT. LETS NOT FORGET OUR CAPITALIST SOCIETY IS DIRECTLY DERIVED FROM A FEUDALISTIC ONE.
THE INFORMATION AND MEANS TO FIGHT BACK ARE WITHIN REACH. ALTHOUGH ONLY FOR A LIMITED PERIOD OF TIME. THE TIME IS NOW TO ACT. IT IS UP TO EACH OF US TO ANSWER THE QUESTION OF “HOW?”.
WELCOME TO THE TOWER.
