Fantastic article, but more importantly -- fantastic insight. More and more I find that I am looking toward the future with a sense of hope, excitement and, dare I say it, opportunity.

What an excellent piece I learned much. No one is in charge. I am convinced.

Why is this so? The “ selective advantage of dominant ideas and the inability of regressive ideas to compete” is a possible explanation. This dynamic propels us forward, I call it the intersection of practical considerations and natural healthy human ambition.

Think about a newly graduated science student going to work, first job, and suggesting that climate science is overblown, exaggerated and captured by political considerations. Bad career move junior. To get ahead you gotta get along. That’s the way this world works. Your mother told you this. If you don’t, you’ll be labelled a weirdo.

Distortion is the consequence.

This is why our collective actions inevitably lead to disaster: it is this fallen world in all of its simplicity.

I run a large company, many employees, this dynamic is omnipresent.

I also read the Irving Krystal essay on conflict resolution, he finishes saying that the Israeli’s were at the end of their tether, in 1997. He was wrong, or at least early, but today he would be right.

I obtained my reality from the old Sears and Robuck catalog long ago and my matrix exist beyond the confines of conflicts created and exist to their own ends as the snake that eats it's tale. I'm neither complicit in their narratives or pity those trapped by their own self-loathing. Solid within the philosophy of much wider minds and thoughts beyond those trapped by fear and doubt. My dreams exits far beyond the JWT because it's existence was spun into this world by the same such thoughts that exist beyond time. It is their own fear that they only know and it depends upon those captured by the same contagion so their ego explodes as if they alone controlled the sea, sun, and air around us all… But it is their delusion as my mind knows they are as dust in the wind, running from the tiny shadow they attempt to cast upon others. Such fools exist as legends in their own mind but in the main such foolishness is not long endured by those who have seen this goose step before and after a short time their meaningless lives end and lost among the most useless sands of time.

I hope I'm not out of order busting in with comments like the following, but I enjoyed your essay.

"The results is an inverse of the Gordian knot...We have no Alexander to cut through this tangle... There are too many threads."

I dug in to chaos theory (butterfly effect) recently and started to understand that this is done deliberately; rather than 'How could they do something so wrong' at Google, they did it perfectly... For what was intended, which is not what an outsider would see as a wise business move.

Its a spiritual operation. So many seeds of chaos have been sewn, starting from decades if not centuries back.

Normies and those on the fence are asking what exactly is going on - the world is in chaos mode, and if one sees the eight points or seeds placed on a Lorenz diagram and watching it flow then each seed represents its own place in the flow and storm of orchestrated chaos which will only accrue until such time as 'The Son of Heaven' returns. This is planet Uranus, Ouranos in Greek. Another five years until perigee.

The clue is to understand why, which can be achieved through the symbols and words used (which prove it but might seem mad to one unfamiliar).

There are two instant clues in your essay, maybe more. For example, what does one google?

One googles an eye in a squint, aka 'One-eyed'. In Christianity, the Bible says 'If ye eye be single your body will be filled with light.'

goggle-eyed (adj.)

late 14c., gogel-eied, "squinting; one-eyed," as a noun, "one who squints;" see goggle (v.) + -eyed. https://www.etymonline.com/word/google

What does DEI mean in Latin or Hebrew- the languages of the biblical priest class elite (so called)? DEI is Latin for God.

How do these two seemingly disparate subjects tie together? One 'sees' God with their 'single eye' or pineal gland. For the record I am not a christian, but grasped how it works within the last two years. There is more but that's probably more than enough.

As I was reading this, I realized that the Liberal order is exactly like characters looking for a director. We throw people into office, hoping they "stick" and can actually lead and direct, but they can't...because we have created a scenario that is impossible to govern. We, in the Liberal paradigm, create and destroy our own "cultures", our own values...and then? We seek someone to lead a construct that is unreal, fabricated. And we wonder why they fail...

A rudderless society then, one no longer fully controlled by elites or elite opinions and preoccupations.

So what next? We see the overreaction to populists. From Sam Melia to Galloway. This is definitely a tell, it illustrates what concerns them.

But we too are rudderless. Or is that the point. Society cannot be governed. Social order emerges from the common sense of the people, or not perhaps.

One of the most puzzling things , to myself at least , is how the technology onslaught has been able to get people to not believe their own lying eyes . A few well placed news and opinion pieces complete with some colorful charts and graphs to thoroughly confuse , and the public will forget That Water would certainly wet us , as Fire would certainly burn . My own grandfather who had to quit school and go to work in a limestone quarry at 14 years of age knew better than these modern geniuses . Lucky indeed to have been brought up under his gaze . The problem is not only Solzhenitsyn's lament that "Man has forgotten God" , but that he has forgotten everything else as well .

If you haven't already, watch the documentaries that Adam Curtis made for the BBC, which allowed him full freedom of expression, and unlimited access to their mind blowing archival footage. He explores our current condition from the beginning of neoliberalism (All watched over by machines of loving grace) through to the rise of individualism (Century of the self), propaganda in the age of social media (Hypernormalisation) and the absurdity of today's western culture (Can't get you out of my head). Free on YouTube, a must for all deep thinkers, and a visual treat I cannot overstate enough

That modern schedule meme is a banger.

What a great application of Walter Lippman's observation to the present day. Very well done.
