Right, but as I've mentioned before, weren't most people like this most of time ?
What has changed is that they are now in a dangerous synchrony.
And as a scientist, this is just so anti-human and anti-knowledge. Away from the scientz of kovid, many other scientists have found themselves on the streets for researching the "wrong topics", such as all the other technocratic lies. Those that remain must be heavily rewarded to abandon any scientific principles - somewhat like doctors of death abandoning any Hippocratic oath.
This is how the true psychotics at the centre create psychotic behaviour in others to further their hell on earth mission.
And this attitude comes from a century of relativism.
The "I have a right to an opinion and therefore my opinion is right!!"
fkoff
Lol, as an engineer, root cause and corrective action are the answer, the problem being though, you can lead them "people" to knowledge, you can not make them bloody read it. And this site just like all of them prove it beyond any reasonable doubt.
Nothing new comes from inside the box thinking, or we would all be driving a model T Ford still!
I find myself in an interesting place. I went through what many consider an elite education - i've seen it from the inside. It wasn't through money, but out of sheer interest - as you know, an individual can work for hours with focus on something that is of deep interest - he doesn't count those hours as "work".
So, you didn't study for a degree in Engineering? Not so important, altho may kinda back up what I'm about to say.
But I can see how thoroughly indoctrinated places of "learning" now are - far worse and far more in-yer-face than even 20 years ago (when it was still more subtle). Hence, I try to think through with my kid, kinda imagination exercises, of the kinds of things she can do without going through the indoctrination-schools. Coz she is very bright and sharp, so is a real shame we have ended up in this world of shit - but there remain many paths open to her. We just need to get away from the tyranny that skills only come via certificates.
Also, that life doesn't revolve around bits of paper in a frame nailed to a wall behind a desk!
I had zero training as an engineer, I just did engineering, I still get asked to do it now, not willing though. I also only had hands on experience as a mechanic and made it all the way to Grand Prix level, as a young dude, there is no limit to what anyone can achieve, if they put their mind to it, you and I both prove that.
The only limit is in ones mind, or I would still be living in Birmingham, and you your home town, but we are not.
Right, sounds like we both followed our interests, albeit different. I've said before, I studied the engineering of nuclear power plants - NOT something one can play with at home, but that was my interest at the time. And that's how I bumped up against knowledge I didn't have and needed to progress eg quantum mechanics.
When I got my first car, I investigated how the thing worked and could fix many things up to the limits of not having a proper garage and equipment. I could even tune an engine! lol.
In medieval and renaissance Italy, most people never went to university, but there were 100s of trade schools - everything from navigation to choral singing! lol. That's the background of people like da Vinci and Michelangelo - learning how to do stuff.
As a child I would take every toy apart if it was possible, and put it back together to see how it was made, I started restoring motorbikes aged 8, my step father used to supply me the paint, he worked in a paint factory as a director of sales.
I did have 4 years at school doing motor vehicle mechanics, Mr Hargreaves the teacher gave me the school Lambretta for a token £1 as he said it was me that fixed it.
Engines, cars, things that can come apart, I always took them apart, made them better, if I could, it is that mindset that took me far in life, still got it for now. One day maybe not, but for now it is still there, hence me restoring motorbikes still, just for fun. And the HHO is a thing I am liking doing, I see it as the future, not climate change lunatics and batteries.
Some famous people have written about all these things - and nothing happened - I'm thinking Bucky Fuller, who I think of as the grandaddy of decentralised thinking. His latter works sound to me like a man pissed off with the world actually moving away from his ideas. eg Grunch of Giants.
he had an interesting revelation - when he was rather poor and with family - what can one man do to make human life better? That was his ultimate experiment - what can one person do!?
Nowadays, even being outside the box means landing inside another box. Need to rise up another dimension and see all the boxes one doesn't want! lol.
another example, Political Ponerology describes this descent of society in great detail - was almost never published and few seem to have ever read it. 1984 is fiction, PP is reality.
I don't quite agree with Lobaczewski's overall solution, but his first step is for everybody to realise that their rulers are mentally sick - psychopathy is a mental disease, so is being delusional and blind to evidence, narcissism and cruelty - all mental diseases. So the first step is to acknowledge this - in both oneself and others - coz... why would anybody wish to follow a lunatic or a deranged idiot??
I have said for years, decades and some more, those in "power" are insane, if not, why is the world shaped like it is, it could be utopia, instead it is wars and the hunger games, it is their vision not mine, indeed the world is upside down, but to lose belief we can change it, is to give up and die.
Billy Connolly says it best, “The desire to be a politician should bar you for life from ever becoming one.”
"Don't vote. It just encourages them....”
haha that's one of the rules in Thomas More's Utopia - anybody who seeks public office shall be banned from standing at elections.
OK, but that's a huge leap - to actually take it as a serious stance, and not some joke - these people are mentally ill, and yet, at the same time, able to scare the crap out of the normies. It's a very particular mental illness that enjoys the power of scaring people. I mean, a govscum filled with manic-depressives wouldn't have the same effect!! Wouldn't even exist.
You are 1 of the the few people on here that gives me a sense of mental challenge, and preceptualflaws, on a regular basis.
mmm... not sure I understand! did you offend me? are you leaving? dunno - reads garbled - lol.
The problem is these books you mention are superb, are from outside the box, but and it is a big but, politicians as we know are not willing to read them, most are products of Eton, Oxford, Harvard and the regurgitate and repeat grade system.
You and I setting our children free from state bondage indoctrination may one day pave the way for a different society, we may though never get to see it, but at least we can rest assured, "we tried".......
Oh, I think those elites do read such things - that's precisely why they get banned. I mean, the process of refusing to publish a book goes right up to the top of the publishing ladder. Notice in novels such as BNW and 1984, the elites are allowed to read banned books, but only so that they can further articulate their own system's superiority.
btw Bucky Fuller went to Harvard - but got expelled - twice! lmao
I fucked the indoctrination system off at 15, I still did anything I wanted, with no exams, anyone can, the shackled mind is insane, the unshackled one does what it wants, I am living proof.
