Jerome, I think that only people who *want* to go free will find this and *get* the picture. Some people simply cannot handle cognitive dissonance, and so when we try to help them open their eyes, they argue for their enslavement. It's their Stockholm Syndrome.
But it's good to speak your truth! Keep writing and sharing!
Yes, Sarine, many (most?) people would rather not see, given the situation. I'm currently reading a fascinating chapter in The_Matter_With_Things on how this behavior is practically a feature of the left hemisphere's style of thinking. I know "very smart" people who seemed locked into their inability to see. They aren't my audience. I strive to bring illuminating maps to those ready to use them to make sense of the world.
Ted Kaczynski was/is correct. This article is a nicer way of stating his messaging tactics. The majority will not think about or even glance at the image. Deeper thought is required, and they are too distracted by pop-culture, or the lasted transparent dress the Kardashians are wearing at Hollywood events.
I have concluded that all we can do is mitigate Western culture's eventual destruction or demise. We have left a trash heap that needs to be burnt and then started over with something new. It is far too late; few care about the revolution required to correct what we live in. In my mind, preparation for the future is more prudent, as in where one lives, the assets acquired, and the community surrounding our life.
I haven't read Uncle Ted. I agree that most aren't ready (and many are apparently unable) to put in the effort to make sense of the image. Heck, I struggled to make sense of it for an embarrassingly long amount of time, before the realization struck me!
I've been tempted to conclude as you have. I've even tried it on for size. I prefer to reject the notion that we have to win over the dull majority of "conformies" to turn things around. In my current map, majority are designed to conform to what "everyone knows", and our problem is that we allowed what "everyone knows" to be hijacked by malevolent actors. I hold out hope that there are enough good people to take control of "what everyone knows". One insight + one good person at a time. Once a good person sees a key truth, they don't un-see it. The process only goes in one direction. The challenge is to get genuine key truths in front of our good people. Our victimizers know this and do their worst to poison the well and co-opt us with controlled opposition "leaders". At least we live in interesting times!
I once felt the same, but after becoming a disciple (haha—a loose term) of Martin Armstrong, and now understand how we always copy the past, because the desires and machinations of humans have never changed. The technology has, but the base emotions have not.
Martin discovered a cycle to human activity, a cycle of the rise and fall of governments or societies that mathematically can be predicted. He convinced me that everything cycles; Nothing is linear. The science of physics would agree with that statement.
His model predicts the end of Western hegemony by 2032 and massive changes between now and then. This is the reason we are seeing the speed and craziness of all kinds of issues around the world. These transitions create a lot of chaos.
If you are interested, I can elaborate; it takes some time. His site is Armstrong Economics, and it is all free. His background is fascinating, and he spent about ten years in jail as a political prisoner, without charges at the beginning of the 2000s. And that was in the US of A.
A German group made a documentary on him, and it is compellingly called "the forecaster."
Thank you for the summary of Armstrong's contributions. Added to my must-study list...
I've looked into his work a bit, but not deeply. I got the impression that those holding the levers of financial power were unhappy that he built models that predicted outcomes far better than theirs did. And that they were unhappy (to say the least) when declined their "offer" to give them his invention(s).
I hadn't realized he had such confidence in what's (inevitably?) coming in the next decade. I'm eager to add his maps to my collection.

Precisely!

That's cool.
