Re: Superior Supermens Sustainable Society & Art of Shepherding People
you got any idea why us?
Just remember, you asked.
Best I can tell, us in this context is pretty much every human presently alive on this earth. If not us, who?
I suspect that even all those humans alive on this earth long before us, a hundreds years ago, 300, 1000, 5000, and more, were in an equally bizarre space in their own right, if not greater, than we in the present. Among the relative few differences of significance from the age of our present space to those we sorta kinda know about from the past, just to throw out a for instance, theoretically, they were not encumbered by the same caliber of multi-headed all-seeing ever-reaching media empire endeavoring to beam... broadcast... reach out and touch someone, to touch as many alive human minds in the collective as possible, so as to keep it continuously disillusioned by, and otherwise filled up, with select fabrications of the collective's own accumulating and ever-refined history of bizarreness. In the present, anyone so inclined can sample such bizarreness in a heart beat, flip of a switch and press of a remote-control button 24-7-365. 5000 years ago, anyone so inclined would have been required to either be somebody with an inside connection to a black magician or high priest of mystery knowledge so as to be informed on a somewhat timely basis, or more typically, be required to wait around a few hundred years for somebody else to have chiseled down on stone and distributed... spread the word... "news" of a particular bizarre event that had been known by somebody somewhere to have occured a few hundred years prior. Can you imagine the planning, effort, time and labor just in the delivery of thousands upon thousands of heavy stone tablets by way tranportation on carts/chariots, using stone or wooden wheels not necessarily all that round? ... so we got THAT going for us... which is nice.
