Antoun,

It's most definitely here;

The problem is attention. I have no academic network, as I avoided formal education with a passion. As I saw it as a kid, it was trade school for desk work and I wasn't going to spend any more time than necessary behind a desk.

Given England is spiraling down the drain, isn't there anyone you know willing to seriously question the metaphysics? The feedback loops with no circuit breakers.

It's not like it's even a complex concept. Not to mention the basic fact that monotheism is designed to validate top down rule. Divine right of kings. Heck they even have Charlie.

Why doesn't anyone else point out democracy and republicanism originated in pantheistic cultures.

That Ancient Israel was a monarchy. Why isn't modern Israel a monarchy? There are just so many conceptual monkey wrenches laying around, but people just chain themselves to fences and think it proves something.

To the Ancients, gods were metaphors. Ideals. Part of the evolution of cognition.

We have millions, hundreds of millions of people with degrees in higher ed. Yet it just seems to make the overall intellect just that much more gummed up in patching flawed models.

All those psychopathic nut cases out there are just that many more clueless jerks in this house of cards.

If you want to take them out, take out the whole house of cards.

There has to be a strategy.

The bull is power. The matador is art.
