While there are as many realities as there are people in this world, there exists a consensus-based collective reality which provides a common frame of reference. This consensus-based reality is derived from an age-old engagement with the extended environment and the application of our collective sense of reason. Over time this engagement has become more sophisticated in that logical reasoning was enhanced by a more systematic exploration followed by theorization and experimentation. The validated outcomes of this process over a protracted period of time has given rise to the burgeoning evolution of human understanding and cognitive function.
The convoluted path of human cognitive evolution has for the most part been successful as attested to by the technological progress in all areas of life. The path however has not been without its challenges, most notably in the form of powerful and influential bodies and/or individuals who attempted to influence, stifle or own various innovative or divergent initiatives. Notable retarding agents include the State, the Church, royalty as well as wealthy and influential individuals through the ages. Common to these agents has been the need to consolidate and maintain power in order to control and influence the masses for their own ends.
Now once again we face a challenge to our collective cognitive heritage. This challenge however incorporates components which are designed to dismantle the consensus-based reality that has evolved to this time – our collective frame of reference. A perfect dystopian storm is breaking upon us and threatens not only to retard further evolution, but by dismantling our cognitive heritage may succeed in dumbing down mankind indefinitely.
The evils of Wokism now include the inversion of excellence wherein the unqualified and inept are promoted in the place of the qualified, talented and effective. It has resulted from a global collective of individuals who have created a mass movement to effectively compensate for their own perceived ineffectiveness and low self-esteem – negative emotional compensatory behaviour overruns excellence and effectiveness. Hand in hand with Wokism exists an amorphous globalist group consisting of such entities as the WEF, WHO, UN together with the wealthy multi-national corporates as well as influential individuals and the governmental bodies that they influence and control. Common to all these entities is the belief in their omnipotence – an arrogant narcissism, which has killed off God/The Creator or any prevailing system greater than themselves. Once you’ve killed off God it’s only a half a step away from destroying our collective human wisdom and the Human Spirit. Nietzsche defined the process in great detail – kill off God and nothing has any further intrinsic value. It’s a free for all – black is white, male is female, deceit is truth, the saviour is the Anti-Christ ...
The world is captured and reality is owned and manipulated by the global influencers. Once the flow of information is stifled, censored and manipulated into disinformation, compounded by the stifling of unfettered scientific discourse, the consensus-derived reality changes radically. The final nail in the coffin of human evolution is the coming of age of artificial intelligence. At a time when we needed more than ever before to apply our reasoning ability to compensate for the deprivation of the free flow of ideas and information and the creative process which follows, we have technology which fulfils all those functions. Inevitably this unfortunate situation serves to compromise personal meaning and purpose and together with redundancy in the work environment, leads on to a sense of irrelevance. This is the ultimate Nietzscherian nightmare – God is dead and there is insufficient reasoning potential to create renewed meaning and relevance of life. Additionally the evolution of human cognitive and emotional activity ceases and the consensus-based reality becomes divergent and unrecognizable following its capture.
Mankind is facing its greatest existential challenge. I would propose that the solution may be found only in renewed awareness – awareness of self and of self within the greater global dynamic. We need to courageously re-embrace the Human Spirit, our cognitive and emotional heritage and the greater natural environment. Additionally, a generous serving of humility derived from the acceptance that we are unique but small players in a vast system, will add positively to the mix. Therein is to be found the authentic consensus-based reality which inevitably supports further creative endeavours – meaning, purpose and relevance is restored. In this way traction is regained in the process of ongoing human cognitive and emotional evolution.
The beating down of society is certainly taking its toll. It seems that a line is drawn on every issue that confronts us these days. We need to force ourselves to be kind rather than just being kind…I for one am growing tired of this way of life and refuse to join the destructive rabbit hole. I continue to applaud your efforts Ian to nudge humankind back on track!
Yes it’s happening before our eyes. I still don’t understand how the Globalists benefit from turning a vibrant, innovative meritocracy like America into a third world hellhole. For example Gates and his ilk will live super lavishly regardless so why are they so hell bent on destruction? It may just be for the thrill of the kill. I have no other explanation.
