Originally posted by Obbe Today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups… So I ask, in my writing, What is real? Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. I do not distrust their motives; I distrust their power. They have a lot of it. And it is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use them.
Yeah, I walk around and am told we're in a crisis and yet I don't see it.
To restore Truth we need to unceasingly attack the Lie, with words, actions and courage.
Honestly I think the main problem is fear, everyone so scared of phantoms conjured up, what's even worse is that the phantoms aren't even scary most are just soft cowards.
They deserve everything that's coming, when the real monsters come they'll be Eaten, and will gladly walk into the BBQ. -

2021-12-12 at 11:07 PM UTCThe pre-Socratic Greek philosopher Parmenides taught that the only things that are real are things which never change... and the pre-Socratic Greek philosopher Heraclitus taught that everything changes. If you superimpose their two views, you get this result: Nothing is real.

That belief renders itself invalid. -

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose, c'est la vie. -
2021-12-13 at 12:23 AM UTCNo it's just going insane, it's not really an appropriate response to anything, the abandonment of rationality.

No word of a lie... I had a psychiatrist tell me I was too sane and that "it will not go well for me"
Some aspects of reality are beyond rational understanding. And to navigate those waters one must shed some of its rigid disciplines and accept that somethings while "real" are unexplainable by purely rational means. -

2021-12-13 at 12:33 AM UTCThe true measure of a man is not his intelligence or how high he rises in this freak establishment. No, the true measure of a man is this: how quickly can he respond to the needs of others and how much of himself he can give. I'm not much, but I'm all I have.
