Revolution or reform , Repair or Ruin
A truly resilient world responds to adverse pressure to fail , with resistance to succeed ( Copyright JLM Armistice day 2018
As GK Chesterton pointed out so well in his testing review of his friend Bernard Shaw,( biography of ) the most dangerous men are those who have no intellectual roots or choose to ignore them .God help us but at the tender age of 30 he writes about the manin game we all play " Cheat the Prophets "
Such men of all recent ages call themselves progressive. If you still haven't abandoned that title for yourself read GKC on the subject or just study the modern film - its about looking backwards for some clues . Fabian fantasies
It is of course much easier in our well fed sun and beer soaked stupor to believe that the catchphrase evolution hold the key to all that is good .
After all, the new gospel of redemption by evolution alone has done well to keep the post moderns focus on hope in the future .
Its kept post moderns from properly examinsng the past for some clues to why things go wrong .
Its got our children lost on the road to the next fix - the next Trump card.. Its kept many in their childhood .
We have had 2 World wars for God's sake and still most Westerners don't know why . WORSE , they care not why . Orwell might not have written for all the attention he is given in warning us away from getting caught up in the current equity debates , the politically correct ,attempts at language control , and the corrupting influence of great intentions captured by evil forces ( incuding those within)
The West was a truimph of precision and productivity- its dying under the weight of imprecision , greed and crushing ,technical efficiency by the makesr of our current mood , Our education system used to weed out the personal excuse making and secondrate half baked rubbish.
Our leaders are blind because they choose to be blind - from Turnbull to Trump they fail to look back and see what really went wrong.
Choices we do have - unless we follow the simple line of evolutionary determinism. The course now set by so many
The post modern world responds to adverse pressure to fail , with nothing solid - just new intoxicating liquids to make them feel better?
