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…

"WOKE culture" the misnomer, and racist application of "woke"

One must be careful to make the observation and distinction between the both the narrow and the broad use of the term "woke"  In the narrow and appropriate sense it is used to designate the individual process that a person of color coming to realize the way society oppresses them and the extent to which that oppression can be addressed in their individuals life. The broad and inappropriate use of the term "woke" comes when those who know no better indicate that a whole society or institution, or organization is "woke"   Often times this is referred to as "woke culture" Such is the application of the word or concept to indicate what is systemically problematic. In fact "woke" is used with the negative connotation to address the DEI, The 1619 Project, or other specifically more broad ideas about the way culture is affected by racism, discrimination, and "colonization."  I cannot speak here, though, because anything I say is raci...

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 ...

Defund the Police

 “ In the West, the same formula has been operative for decades: the police kill a young person from a marginalized community; the youth of this community rise up; they destroy a few things and clash with the police; they are arrested. The atmosphere reverts to a kind of precarious tranquillity, until the police decide to murder someone again ”  Identity and representation are key in the way that the Left (in this case Marco D’Eramo in the New Left Review) proposes things go down in the world.   Note that there is the use of identity “youth”   “community” “marginalized” this is the way the Left represents riots or protests, whichever, they refer to the 2020’s and 2022’s public demonstrations developed.   Of course the fight over what was really happening broke-out in representations.   Repeated clips on the one side of young people nonviolently protesting and repeated clips of violent rioting presented by the other side. Note that “the police” as a pres...
