The Politics of Thinking and Cultural Warfare Explored (Darwin, Kepler, Shakespeare, Ertugrul and More)
Amidst the multiplying self-contradictions caused by the incompatibility of our perceptions of reality and reality itself, crises on every level (economic, geopolitical, spiritual) are becoming too ugly and painful to ignore anymore. Some of the most pressing questions now being raised by thinking citizens watching the unravelling of their worlds include:
Why are so many highly educated people willing to give up their innate power to think in order to have shadowy experts tell them what is true and how to behave?
Why are so many of our fellow citizens so willing to give up their rights and freedoms to protect themselves from invisible threats like viruses with a 99.9% survival rate or changing climate which used to be called “the weather” having little to do with human activity?
Why are so many people incapable, and unwilling to accept the idea of conspiracy, or intention as an efficient, existent phenomenon in world affairs when such things as “Great Reset” are being spoken allowed by misanthropic billionaires on a daily basis?
If these questions seem perplexing, then don’t feel bad. Our entire civilization has been living under a paradigm that has been designed to compartmentalize human knowledge for many generations (reserving the right to think top down to a small ruling body of social engineers and managers under very specific conditions and constraints).
In this discussion between the Canadian Patriot Review’s Matthew Ehret and members of SOTT’s Mind Matters program, the unifying principle of universal history is explored from various angles as we zero in on the question: what, why and even where is MIND and how do ideas about ideas about mankind and the Creator shape humanity’s historic struggle for freedom?

The reason to real Ehrets stuff is that he has good information on the history of the financialist faction of the ruling class, which is hard to find elsewhere. However, you have to keep in mind that he is running propaganda for the other side of the oligarchy, the industrialist, nationalist "open system" creeps, just as dangerous and degrading to normal people. What is offensive here is his recitation of the propaganda lie against normal pandemic measures.
As in, oh, the mortality rate for covid is only 1% Actually, in Canada it is around 2.5 % officially and that is a pretty dire rate. It could add up to over half a million deaths if the infection really got out of control. That is not counting the "long haulers", the roughly 10% who develop permanent symptoms which permanently reduce their performance for likely the rest of their lives.

I am about to do a write up of chapter 8 of my covid notes, earlier ones found, https://raccoon-34417.medium.com/pandemic-notes-7-it-doesnt-need-to-be-this-hard-folks-2c9144299cb3
I will be expanding on my earlier theme of the pandemic being made worse by the fight between factions of the ruling class, with some trying to use Covid to their advantage, and others with the idea that denying the seriousness the problem is to their advantage, both disdainful of the harm they are causing.
