Thank you, Andy. I'm not so thrilled about my quality in this piece (it's a sporadic coverage of an encyclopedic subject, cut short for the sake of readability), but it might work by inspiring to think further.

I've been reading Ian McGilchrist's great book The Matter with Things and it explains how most in this society are left brain obsessed, like the analytical column in your article.

ANALytical thinkers are why this society is fucked up, cause they're morons with half the picture. The section about multiple variables is why academic fields are like idiots with blinders on. In college, nobody seemed to be able to comprehend how there's a lot more variables than what physicists etc want to admit.

That's why we constantly hear of idiotic things like dark matter and don't get me started on how backwards biology has become.

Indeed. Nobody needs a license to think:

"Science," ever since it became a business (e.g. Tesla vs. Edison), it has become a joke:

Biology and chemistry have no steady grounding, no feasible paradigm. When I was down and an expensive private high school interviewed me and told me I would be most welcome to teach anything, I said no to biology and chemistry.

I loved hearing about Tesla growing up, but I'll be honest... His wireless transmission of electricity goes against y'all that are worried about EMF radiation.

The dumbest story is that he found free energy. I wanted to believe in that at the time but it's been decades and still nothing. The stupid people assume he found free energy despite nothing solid to go on.

The alt media people are as stupid as the mainstream.

As far as I can see, Tesla had no idea that his energy source would kill all life.

He was doing wireless transmission of electricity.

It would still be generated somewhere but not needing wires.

That's what he mentioned clearly. But there's this myth of free energy which bugs me.

I've tried to find anything on free energy, even small scale projects to prove that and I feel like the free energy thing is idiotic. Decades and nobody can recreate it?

Too many dreamers making up myths.

He may have thought of a satellite network with wavelength transformers, collecting and combining signals, and using amplification with interference. He may have thought about an existing source, like the Earth's magnetic field.

Life is a very valuable gift even if to other eyes not well lived. We have a bit of a slippery slope there Ray. Faith is also a slippery slope when reason states X your disability or your life measured by Y is not up to snuff. Schweitzer was a humanitarian. He taught himself medicine. He raised money for his hospital by giving organ recitals across Europe. I will take one Schweitzer for 10 NGO's. And he was a man of the 19th century with all the prejudices. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/dr-albert-schweitzer-a-renowned-medical-missionary-with-a-complicated-history

You are right; I should never judge. Still, I have my reservations.

If you want to give the mass murderers another chance, it's a question if they are going to be saved or they will keep killing people.

NGOs are inhuman and they are globalist plants. Schweitzer had an ideal that is impossible to hold up. He was used, but given a Nobel Prize for a reason.

I doubt used in the sense of you may hold in Century 21. He was a man of faith. If you read what he wrote in the Belgian Congo during WW1-The Decay and Restoration of Civilization-you would have a better understanding of the man entire.

"It is not the civilization of a race, but that of mankind, present and future

alike, that we must give up as lost, if belief in a rebirth of our civilization is a

vain thing.

But it need not be so given up. If the ethical is the essential element in

civilization, decadence changes into renaissance as soon as ethical

activities are set to work again in our convictions and in the ideas which

we undertake to stamp upon reality. The attempt to bring this about is well

worth making, and it should be world-wide."

"The renewal of civilization has nothing to do with movements which bear

the character of experiences of the crowd; these are never anything but

reactions to external happenings. But civilization can only revive when

there shall come into being in a number of individuals a new tone of mind

independent of the one prevalent among the crowd and in opposition to

it, a tone of mind which will gradually win influence over the collective

one, and in the end determine its character. It is only an ethical

movement which can rescue us from the slough of barbarism, and the

ethical comes into existence only in individuals.

The final decision as to what the future of a society shall be depends not

on how near its organization is to perfection, but on the degrees of

worthiness in its individual members. The most important, and yet the least

easily determinable, element in history is the series of unobtrusive general

changes which take place in the individual dispositions of the many."

I respectfully disagree. A culture is as strong as the cohesion of its ideology holds up. In fact, it can be quite a despicable culture...

Ethical culture required ethical people. By Century 20 Mammonry triumphed. However ethics did not die out despite the situational absurdity of WW1, WW2, and all the blood since. The ethics of the Gospel created European civilization despite Christian accommodation to power. Berdyaev writes very well on this idea. http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Philosophy/Sui-Generis/Berdyaev/essays/worth.htm

The only entities I find worthy of worship are plants and trees. They have existed here long long before any other creatures did. Billions of years before us, before creatures, there were plants. We are the 'young' ones relative to them. And they give us all we need. Sadly, the patenting of seeds that began a half century ago should have told us where this was all going. Some people did try to warn us then.

You could derive a lot of joy from talking to my wife. She is life. Birds are following her and even insects become tame. When she talks to animals, they pause and listen. :)

When we went cross-country last November, she had a half-an-hour conversation with a Sioux lady (74, barely looking 60) and both of them were devoted to the realm of the living. I am so blessed to have her...

A new article is shaping up in my mind: all things living in symbiosis around the Globe. Once one is disturbed, it causes disturbance in all the rest. The system can take only a certain amount of abuse, and it's unclear where it is now.

Humility, as far as I can understand it, most importantly, involves personal responsibility. Accepting one's gifts comes with the obligation of using them. Denying them comes out as pride from false humility.

Humans are social animals, too. They cannot maintain a community without a prevalent ideology. Such ideologies usually confirm the standing social order, which always boils down to the same five casts:

https://rayhorvaththesource.substack.com/p/apocalypse-now

The ideology works only as long as the exploited poor are buying it. They MUST be convinced that they DESERVE the short end of the stick. The "American Dream" worked only as long as at least the appearance of social mobility was maintained, but the rulers don't even live in this country anymore, so anarchy is most welcome for them. Gary Barnett represents an enticing mode of anarchism, although I can't condone it:

https://rayhorvaththesource.substack.com/p/can-you-see-what-is-happening

Anti-racism would require the abandonment of cultural heritage and identity. The drags will certainly make good slaves, fearing for their lives all the time.

Sheep, as opposed to the little lamb in children's books, are cruel and stupid; they are a good metaphor for the servile, but cruel masses. They surely have the only "herd immunity" that exists: being immune to common sense.

Zerohedge used to be good mostly b/o the comments, but that was about two years ago. By now, it's mostly bots and morons; everything is two-dimensional. The owner is reading my pages and sometimes uses my ideas without mentioning me. Hardly ever, but ZH also contains info that I find useful, but it usually publishes stuff that I already know (uses outside sources with articles that are already there).

Barnett used to sound like me or, more exactly, I used to sound like him. He has been around forever.

The problem with him is that by now, he cannot come up with anything new and his stuff reads like rants. He also used "sources" that contained what I had written about previously (that's life for me, anyway) without acknowledging that I was the first to come out with the info and/or the ideas.

As a result, we haven't written to each other for about a year. No point.

Barnett has his religiously committed followers, and I don't care.

On the other hand, as I am uncompromising, it looks like I am touching nerves and support is diminishing. Maybe, it's migrating to "buying me coffees" instead, I can't tell.

I think we'd have to sit this out and wait until the system collapses under its own weight. That means living off-grid for years, and I'm getting too old for that.

Actually, they must know that their only realistic opposition can arise only at the grassroot level:

The captive animals are already extinct; they just don't know it yet.

It's good to hear that you have somewhere to go.

Here, in KY, there is a lot of water, but much of it has been poisoned from chemtrails. Frogs used to be loud on summer nights and in the last two years, it's been silence.

Karst springs do exist, but there are too many people for the forests, and everyone is armed to the teeth. Insects, spiders, and snakes tend to be nasty around here, so bugging out poses several challenges.

As a journalist, I started writing HERE on May 6, 2022.

ZH's owner sometimes leaves comments after my articles. He seems respectable.

You are right, Gordon. It's a good idea to maintain mutual respect, even when it is hard. :)

Of course, reante is asking important questions and making observations that seem accurate. A discussion is not worth a penny, unless those are addressed, but if two parties cannot agree on what they expect from solving a problem together, there is nothing to talk about...
