Dear Friends,
It seems to me, the elite are waging war on discernment, by vilifying categorization. One of the ancient ways humanity has looked at the world and reality, is in a hierarchy of good. That there is order (good) at the top and disorder at the bottom. Humans are somewhere in between, striving for order, and away from disorder. The thing that pans order from disorder, is categorization, while discernment allows us to use that sluice. The two combined, categorization and discernment, team up to allow us to make the world, and our own lives… better. By waging war on discernment then, the progressives are trying to get us to backtrack into chaos, and away from order. Now, we must ask, which do we want, chaos or order? Apply that to what the elite are doing and ask yourself, “why should I go along?”
One way to reduce the granularity of our perception is to look at us as groups instead of people. Then treat people like groups. The elite use culture to blur our self awareness. Not only by grouping us, but with envy, wrath and pride. We are told by our culture to envy the “rich,” everyone wants to punch a “white supremacist” and to take pride in our sins. These things all create a myopic people, focused on the close at hand, while the nearby is blurred and the distant is left unseen. Continue along this path and, like glaucoma, it leads to blindness. We can already see many among us who have become blind. Jung called it, Captured by an ideology. No matter what we call it, reducing one’s perception of humanity to a faint blur, reduces humanity to an undifferentiated mass. A primordial chaos if you will.
The covid shutdowns, shockingly, applied pretty much only to small businesses. Which obviously benefited the corporations that were not shut down. The little guy was closed by government diktat while their competing corporate stores were left open. The permanent shuttering of so many small businesses during 2020 was a logical result. Which grew the corporate share of the aggregate economy. Showing that the millions corporations spent in lobbying has paid dividends. A wise investment, over creating products for customers, innovating or investing in plant. The upshot of it all is that now people identify with the corporation they work for, instead of the small innovative firm they used to, the economy is now made up of fewer bigger components, and increasingly controlled by a single faction.
The idea of an, “Open Society,” is an example of doing away with discernment for primordial chaos. Boarders are synonymous with categorization. If there are no French, Brazilians or Japanese, but we are all one people… isn’t that the definition of eschewing categorization, for indifferentiation? Moreover, how far are the open society people willing to take this indifferentiation? Going from the complex to the simple. To opening their own homes? One can imagine that back in Neanderthal times, a person saw all others, as generic others, there was no discernment, other than between family and outsider. They lived in a primordial chaos. That appears to be the goal of our overlords. Blind, without allies and a cog in a machine. Not that unlike 1984 or Brave New World, just more immediate.
In chaos, a place with little categorization, people starve to death, children die of disease and life is brutish. In a culture with fine categorization, life is civilized, prosperous and refined. Why would anyone want to draw us back to a world with little or no discernment, especially those at the top of the hierarchy, the elite? You would have to ask them for a full explanation… but lets riff here. Could it be that soon there will be an awakening ushering them from power forever? How? By the superconducting of information made possible by the internet. Censorship and indifferentiation is the solution. Because the power of connecting one brain to another, across time and space, gives rise to minute categorization and thus, discernment. Such discernment would expose the state for what it is… rendering it archaic.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
