As The Herd Turns The "Facts" Change


The job of our authorities is to tell us what to believe. All "facts" not directly experienced are of the nature of beliefs. A little reflection reveals that any product of thought is of such a nature: our entire conceptual world is, obviously, a system of beliefs inside us, not of "facts" out there. And so it is that, within the limits set by our human nature, what we claim to be facts change in sync with changes in the authorities who inform us of them. Because we unquestioningly follow our authorities we accept these changes in the facts, and dismiss the accompanying cognitive dissonance, i.e. the thinking part of us that posited a supposed fact standing behind that belief. Let's please, then, be clear about this: Loyalty to our culture - our system of beliefs - undergirds thought, not the other way around; hence the axiom attributed to Arthur Schopenhauer, that all truth passes through three stages: first it is ridiculed, then it is violently opposed, and finally it is accepted as self-evident. Changes in facts are changes in beliefs. Facts are fluid, because they are beliefs. And, finally, beliefs ("facts") are dictated by our culture.

With Biden exiting the White House certain beliefs that have had an enormous impact on our recent lives will change, and new facts will replace them. After some resistance, and with modifications to protect the guilty duly underpinned by peer reviewed papers in Establishment-approved scientific journals, we will accept these new facts as self-evident.

But there is a greater socio-cultural upheaval underway. As just stated, our culture is what we collectively believe, a collective agreement about the meaning of experience indoctrinated in us by our authorities - a process we refer to as education. Now, as culture informs thought, so if you destroy culture it follows that you destroy thought. Some beliefs now being fed to us by our authorities fall outside what the nature of the majority can accommodate. These beliefs are either being rejected, or are causing sufficient cognitive dissonance to undermine the thinking process itself. Western culture is predominantly cerebral. As such it presents, of all cultures, the greatest threat to the New World Order being relentlessly pursued by the UN and its lead agencies. Western culture is accordingly being destroyed by the means just described.
