Get this and get this well[/size:450702582f][/color:450702582f]... and if you don't get it you're missing a gigantic piece of the puzzle, the missing element, the slippery factor, the line that connects the dots, the hidden force under the foundation... which is this.... LGATs have had a substantially degenerative effect on our collective quality of mind, how we think, the way we go about the processes of thinking have been deeply impacted by LGATs, as they have promoted themselves as a more advanced, more enlightened, more breakthru set of cognitive structures... when, the horrible truth is that in many cases they are just the opposite... they are more regressive, more over-simplifying, more logic destroying, more unquestioning, more authoritarian, more obedience school for the mammal-brain, more about uniformity, more about repeating simple slogans, sucking up to the guru, trainer, superior being, more about frame control, context control, milieu control, more about plain old power, money, compliance, and control...
So... we have to get that, bright, loud, and clear, and once and for all stop kidding ourselves that these are merely quaint fringe organizations that produce a handful of nutty zealots... when it appears that that isn't the case, that their schema or cognitive templates have wormed their way into the deepest recesses of political power, and their grotesque errors, I repeat, GROTESQUE errors, have effectively become inserted into our collective cognitive DNA, then they pose a clear and present danger to the integrity of our culture...
So before being the patsy and falling for the old argument that politics has nothing to do with anything that isn't politics, I say unto you, Wise The Hell Up Before It Is Too Late... politics has seeped into everything and everything has seeped into politics, and if you buy the sucker's theory that you SHOULDN'T discuss the impact of beliefs, faiths, theories, worldviews on the realm of political action, then you have absolutely NO WAY of accounting for the events of 9/11....
Well, don't be so naive as to assume that only "they" have weird, unblanaced, irrational, baseless, or preached to by the misguided, the deluded, the arrogant, the egomaniacal, the simplistic...and the "we" do not... [/color:450702582f][/size:450702582f]
If WE are to survive, culturally, as a human project, and not slowly sink into the bubbling tar sands of collective idiocy and mindless self annihilation, then we MUST begin to unravel, to decode, deconstruct and figure the hell out where these beliefs came from, how they direct our existences, the forms and structures of beleif and being the are pointing to... [i:450702582f]because if we don't, if we are so lazy, self satisfied, inert, just too plain fucking stupid to get out of the way of oncoming freight trains, then one can say nothing more than we richly deserve whatever fate is waiting for us around the next bend... and that is no pretty thought, but that's the way it is[/i:450702582f][/size:450702582f]...[/color:450702582f]
