We've abandoned the Enlightenment values that built Western Civilization.


PJ Watson hears a death knell. I'm hoping it is maybe just a wake up call (because we're talking about it, so that's the beginning of self-awareness, right?)

Watched it. He’s probably right. The only question is how far down do we collapse?
Also, will some technological breakthrough save us, restoring our hope? Or will successive technologies just hasten our downfall? The first option is pretty unlikely, while the second is occurring as we speak.

Cultural prophets have emerged, the Isaiahs, Jeremiahs, and Nehemiahs warning us to repent, to turn around, to build the wall.
But they are being actively ignored, opposed by all “right thinking people,” censored, shut down, and attacked daily for daring to speak truth to the glassy-eyed masses.

We are being slow boiled over generations, crazy is being normalized over a long enough time period that people don't snap until its to late.

He's spot-on.

What threatens us immediately is not a collapse as in: we go back to the farm and kill each other for food.
What threatens is the lack of scientific progress, a rising idiocracy, the rise of idiotic narratives governing millions, the spread of various religious dogmas. Stagnation. Degenerescence.
Only then will we be in danger of collapse.

Elon Musk is right: we need to shoot for Mars, or at least space colonization.
Not only as backup, but as purpose.

Ohhhh but we can't do that because Left Handed Lesbian Midget Half-Albanian Eskimo Muslims in Hijabs are still being microaggressed in Colleges, Companies, and everywhere!

Also, sending a Phallus Rocket to Mars, the God of War, that reeks of Toxic Masculinity and Objectivity is Male Subjectivity.

Maybe the dogs bark, but the caravan goes on?
Maybe not the NASA caravan.

It's worse today.

Reagan back in the 80s brought everything back on track.

Ever since Obama culture has been going down hill.

Oh this has been commented on and documented to death for at least 20 years now. I remember seeing stuff like this in the '90s.

Private Public Partnerships are all fucking scams.

The Public's liability is unlimited, but most of the gains go to the Private Investors. If no gains, it all devolves on the taxpayer.

What we have here is a country who has decided that it would be better off catering to only the wealthy instead of all this egalitarian bullcrap that out forefathers used to prattle on about.

That is a natural result of centralization. If central gov't would be very weak, like in Switzerland, PTB's would have very hard time buying off all States. But WE need to enforce OUR will on everyone, hence centralization which leads to current clusterfuck.

Every nation gets the government it deserves.

@cmdrdataleak Excellent video, I agree with all of it.

Sounds like we are rediscovering essentially the same things that Ibn Khaldun discovered in in the 1300's: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muqaddimah
