THE PROPHET . . . (of the Left)

Get a load of this Yuval Noah Harari,  he is the prophet of the Left, so it is believed:

Leaving the discussion of radical acceptance aside; his discussion of God uses the old magician's trick of forcing a card. He offers the opportunity to choose one card, but the right card is the other one. In this case, both cards are amiss. The one "intrusive" God is more rightly described as a demi-urge - a being that is part of the system albeit a much higher order of inhabitant. The other is mysterious and unknowing. The God of the great religious traditions understand God to be apart from the system, but is the grounding of the reality within which it exists. A God who is imminent, sacred, omniscient, and concerned for creation. I'm reminded of Rev. Tim Keller's quote, "Tell me about this God you don't believe in. I probably don't believe in Him either."

I will not address the radical acceptance piece either. But I do want to address your statement concerning the demiurge; this is a god of Gnosticism, a god who creates an impure world. The God of heaven, in Gnosticism then is the detached transcendent God who has nothing to do with matter. The created world is not of the God of heaven’s interest, nor consideration, in Gnosticism. I think Harari is a confused man who sounds as though he knows what he is talking about. Harari is much like our friend Sam Harris, except Harari has a different gender. These two individuals tend to think they know a lot, and this is the nature of Gnosticism, which is the departing of knowledge. In ancient religious Gnosticism this knowledge was secret knowledge. In possttruth times, Harari and Harris, as well as other media props, are considered to be the purveyors of knowledge. It is humorous that these characters are treated with such high esteem. They are not scholars, they are personalities that have been puffed up. I digress, back to Gnosticsm and its relationship with posttruth times. When the world is itching for something to hang its hat on it turns to knowledge, as though it were something that could replace truth. Truth is from the God of heaven and earth; God created them both. There is no demiurge as creator of an uncanny earth made of unclean matter. God created and looked upon creation and said it is good. In the new world religion (like the NWO) there are the laws of or commandments of environmentalism. Thou shalt not use plastic straws, etc…

Let's spread MISINFORMATION

According to the government 2  + 2 = 5  and Math is racist. Let’s spread the Truth, which is misinformation.  Let’s spread misinformation all over the place, in every household, community, city, state, and nation(s).  We will not cave on the matter of Truth, no matter how much they say 2 + 2 = 5. No matter what the Party tried to press upon the mind of Winston Smith (in George Orwell’s “1984”), Smith would not succumb, until the end.  For us we will not succumb to the lies, i.e. truth is lies; math is injustice; truth is unjust and other opposites that are flipped on their heads, and are made into the real lies that they are feeding the world.  The Left is relentlessly programming young children, to young adults, to you. Media process has you under its spell.  Stop watching TV and movies, please.  You will find only lies there.  So let’s spread misinformation, while the government is calling truth to be lies. Government and media are vacuous ...

Simply stated artificial intelligence, man becoming God

 Zhang, Youheng. "A Historical Interaction between Artificial Intelligence and Philosophy."  arXiv preprint arXiv:2208.04148  (2022). Note that this article was written in 2022.  So Youheng Zhang is concerned with how the public comes to understand artificial intelligence, which is a major issue FOR US today and in the future.  Zhang states that “the public feels AI (artificial intelligence) progress is based on hype rather than genuine advancement” It is not the case that anything hinders the advancement of AI, but what is meant by advancement is another story.  Atheist Sam Harris is working in cognitive science, and other atheists have knowledge in this area.  These individuals are out to say in union with Yuval N Harari that “if God existed,” “God made things in a limited manner, restricting living beings to biology” The atheists ideology presses forward the notion that AI can do more than God can because humans can continue to grow the work of AI...

CRT and me

Sarah A. Radcliffe once wrote “Postcolonial approaches have attuned geographers to the politics of giving voice to postcolonial subjects, and the intricate emotive histories that can be both challenged and brought into post-colonial nation- building”   The challenging of these emotive histories happens when the work of Howard Zinn, which presents the histories of the people, about the formation of the US, is challenged.   Certainly alternate stories are necessary in order to help us have a balanced understanding about history.   When such stories and histories conflict this brings-up again old unrest and rivalries that were sure fired guaranteed wins for the whites in the day. Like Zinn, postcolonial and anti-colonial writers do more than theorize, they present us with what we should consider valuable and see them as more than just renditions of history.   All of the argumentation against critical race theory sits well in a church cla...
