The dream world which the eager imagination of the child builds may or may not assist the child’s development. When one hears adults solemnly employing similar fantasies in trying to cope with wars, strikes, depressions, one stands appalled at the thought of where this infantile process will lead. This from the 1938 edition of the Tyranny of Words by the author Stuart Chase.
Well, what a long strange trip since then eh. Russia is at war with The New Normal Reich over spoils and land grabs once more. Once more the occupant in the Kremlin is counting on Appeasement creating space, a change for the best not being allowed to go to war with NATO directly but NATO permitted to wage open war against her.
So delusions all around run the show.
Then the existence of invisible demons called viruses poisoning us is shredded. Replaced by Nanobots in vaccines that do not vaccinate.
A tyranny of words to be sure has desensitized us to thought.
Education is a profound dumbing down all the way down unless it teaches a child how to think. The educated, unthinking conditioned educated adult, loyalist to a world view without thought, obeyed and injected and still cry salvation by SCIENCE. Children ask questions and are brilliant learners if adults allow it and ally co-creation We can be as smart as once we were. To survive we must be. Pity the 1968 students had in large part a childish imagination but it is after all 1968. Today though is 2025 and lies from 1999 and 2020 are sacred cows thanks to our educated imaginations saying sincerely this crack in the door and a very public governmental voice of bravado filled with cant is the Great Awakening. I see an infantilized political process. No one in the streets. At least in 1968 no matter how childish they did, not for Covid murders based on a lie though.
Very interesting video, Stegiel. We forget. Fuentes references the unimaginable sisterhood and brotherhood which existed among people participating in the march. I remember that feeling. Nothing today is comparable, and trying to describe it--with everyone seemingly joined via social media but, in actuality, utterly alone--is useless.
