My book has just arrived in the mail and I was excited to flick through the contents before I make my start later tonight. One thing I did notice, there makes no mention of religion and the influence it has had on human behaviour. One thing I have noticed very recently amongst this pandemic is that there seem to be some glaring issues and in my sense, classified as existential risks as they do cause endless death and carnage, and they are religion, democracy and capitalism.
I’m in the middle of gardening at the moment so can’t give this post the intricate detail it requires, but I would be very interested if someone with a voice was able to draw the dots between the fact that only approximately 25% of the world population are made up of intuitive minds and the remaining 75% classified as sensors and how the minority have evolved our species with their thinking yet are reliant on the democratic majority to make decisions for our collective species and environment. In layman’s terms, 75% of the population can only see the options presented in front of them (this traffic light is red). Whereas the remaining 25% are able to think of other options (why is this traffic light red?). As a simple man, I know which mind I would want at the head of every institution.
Now, a great man once said that a democracy doesn’t work when the majority are idiots. He was right, the democracy which we are presented with, which is nothing like the true democracy of Ancient Greece, is littered with parasites and idiots (their true Ancient Greek meaning) who are incapable of knowing what’s best for the rest of their species in an altruist nature. A quick fix solution to this would be to ban political parties and the money, power and reach that supports them, this will create a fair playing field rather than this duopoly that we have and that 75% of the population can’t see past.
Religion, has someone not drawn the dots on how we became doomed with the moral compass that we have learnt from the majority of religions? Pagan gods enabled us to love and appreciate every little thing that occupies this earth as we saw a god or life story behind everything. When we took that away with one god, we instead increased our ego by telling ourselves that man created everything at the will of god, and of course to Indulge as that is the reason why he died for us. Indigenous cultures thrive because of their belief system and their respect for the life they see in everything. They live in harmony with their habitat. I believe the Roman Empire took a step back when they outlawed pagan gods at the time.
And lastly, capitalism, our sense of achievement has changed substantially. In ancient times when we learnt and discovered at a phenomenal pace, we did so because our personal sense of achievement was to discover something new, gather more wisdom or create some engineering feat. Nowadays, we measure our sense of achievement by money and how much more we have than our neighbour. The man who is poor in materials is rich in thought and the one rich in materials is too distracted to think.
My two cents, I think our existential problems all point down human behaviour. It hasn’t change throughout history and we have repeatedly repeated it, lol. Every man who tried to make change for good was persecuted or silenced, all the way back to Socrates. I reckon making parents wait a minimum of 5 years between kids should do the trick, something about birth orders and the effect on the child’s personality...
But what would I know, I’ve got gardening to do
