Commentary: As Toxic as It Is Effective, Governments Wield Fear to Control and Manipulate People

People are excited thinking about being able to live in alternative universes. Unbeknownst to them, they already do – and have been for most of their lives. Especially those born after the era when we wore our Texas Instrument calculators on our belts (our slide rules were put on the shelf to be oddities to show our children how we calculated in school) and built computers we bought in parts. Now, people who would have trouble putting a slot-car together can go to the Himalayas, try on clothes from their favorite store, play video games – all the while lying on a recliner in their basement.

There is reality – the actual events as they happened. And there is what has long been, spun as reality, i.e., pharma-phantasmagoria, genders/sexes of more than two, and myriads of other factoids dressed as facts. All built upon the biggest lie fed to a now well-programmed public – manmade global warming. And virtual reality rules over factual reality.

  1. I used one of my slide rules just recently, I used it to kill a bug.

    2. I had an instructor who used one in class because his kids kept stealing his actual calculators and wouldn't touch the slide rule. Also nice because Instead of rattling off 6 significant digits he'll pull that out and say, "eeeh. Two and a half - close enough"

  3. That was a long screed. Civilization does not always go forward, sometimes it goes back. US people like to believe they are special, while they vote their way into a Venezuela style failed state system. Our highest modern ideals are safety and convenience, the current populace aren't going to go back to the old ones. They are incapable of changing failed policy for the many decades that I've witnessed.
