Beware the absurd proposition
Certainly, anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices. Voltaire
We are fed absurdities on an endless cycle by leaders and the monopolist press.
Our brains are scrambled eggs. Truth is buried under a mountain of shit.
So much so we begin to believe the shit.
We believe that the biggest corruption is in the public service, all the while, the politicians grow fat from insider trading, back office deals, and blackmail. The rich are the biggest parasites of all.
We believe the craven white dude rocking a chainsaw is some kind of tech genius. That he is the self-made man. The only genius he has is seeing an opportunity of innovation created by others and leveraging it off the charts, funded by the government. All the risks are taken by the government. Because, ultimately, he is a coward.
We believe that someone will come and save us.
Nope, only we can save us.
We believe that a government must balance the budget like a household. The problem with my house is I do not get to print money. The false equivalence has become such a believed myth that people vote for it.
And here we are. Injustices and atrocities are the trading currency of the day.
Withhold aid. Starving and death by disease and no medical supplies perfectly normal.
Bomb to non-existence then propagate a hideous AI-generated video of obscene golden monstrosities and bloated boys celebrating their evil success in the glammed up once a wasteland, all the while a whole nation is removed.
Accuse the real victim of being the perpetrator – the classic tactic of the abuser.
Remove decades of blood-won progress to elevate people of colour to a scratching semblance of equality with a single pen stroke, demonstrating the seething racism that was always there.
Greenwashing. Justice washing. Race washing.
Nasty is given permission to do whatever the hell it likes. And so it does.
We must come to our senses and unhook from the tsunami of the absurd.
Critical, systemic, open-minded inquiry and thinking, going deep and wide is crucial. Knowing the Source, the driving principle encoded into the propagators of the absurd, is key.
Being Syntropic. No longer invested in fixing a corrupted from the beginning system. Building new models, tools and worldviews that make the existing corruption obsolete.
They are not working for us. Not for a country, which is their claim. They work for themselves. Only ever for themselves.
PS. The boulders in this photo were moved onto the walking path by the sea and Cyclone Alfred. Nature’s power to move obstacles is inspiring. We are Nature. Let’s move cruel, evil obstacles from the path of all human thriving.
