Is society progressing? Beyond mirrors?
If the last couple of weeks of these threads are a reflection then the
only mirrors shining are the tiresome "smoke and mirrors" of various
treadworn bodies politic. Is society progressing? Beyond mirrors? If
these are in any way indicative, the answer is a unanimous.... ....NO!
NO PROGRESS, ALL SMOKE AND MIRRORS.
Rhetorical smoke and mirrors, social values in a nutshell; trapped
between biology and intellect, between fear and freedom. Locked in the
deadly, age old social pattern of artfully selecting historical facts to
reconstruct histories that instigating fear and loathing all the while
suggesting therein lies the avenue to freedom. Freudian regression
therapy writ large and essentially timeless. You are guilty of the sins
of your fathers; all the way back to before slime mold! Repent!
"...trying to see where ideas are derived, dusting off the mythos,..."
leads to useful and insightful "contrarian" interpretations such as:
Because there are Americans of Greek descent, the current US policies in
the Middle East are not only genetically, socially, and intellectual
tied to Greece, but have directly evolved from historical fact that the
Greek city states viewed peoples East of the Mediterranean as
mysterious, uncivilized, heathens. And because of this the US, and only
the US, is directly responsible and must be held accountable for any and
all consequences of those views. Which of course leads one to conclude
that US the "war on drugs" and the "war on terrorism" led to Australia
taking aboriginal children forcibly from their parents during the early
part of the twenty century. Phew, What a load!
