Filling an intellectual void to save democracy and humanity : Comments

By Shann Turnbull, published 30/8/2024

Both existential risks to humanity and democracy are being driven by universities. They can only educate our future leaders to be more effective dictators.

And which dictator will take all this on board to shoot himself in the foot with?

Humanity is sleepwalking into a ghastly future. This is because of an intellectual void in university education.

Wrong, so terribly wrong ! Wrong as only an intellectual can be !
It is because there is no void in these useless circles, there are way too many of them interfering with the indoctrination we're suffering right now !
Only a void of intellectuals can offer an improvement in education & lead to a better future !
Just look at their present legacy, the Woke & Political Correctness, Race Politics & general dumbing-down of students !

I agree with the idea of nested self governing entities, this isn't new in a sense both the Roman's and the Catholic Church used subsidiarity, which is essentially the same.

The concept of "Social Cybernetics" 2nd order cybernetics (there's also 3rd 4th, etc cybernetics), is based on the idea that societies are social machines where the "atoms" can think for themselves and have choice. This is subtly different to Frederick Taylor's theory but seems to be related. From memory John Anderson and Parsons were important figures here.

Apparently Cybernetics is out of fashion with the Woke Marxists at the university academies.

Indyvidual- thanks for the video explaining the links between Woke/ Marxism and Islamism. There are links with Hebrew's too. Strange to see both Islamist's and Hebrew's both in league with the Marxists at different points. Quite a complex political landscape

All three philosophies- Marxism, Judaism, Islamism seem to be all Middle Eastern/ Asian philosophies in a sense.

Marxism is apparently similar to what Machiavelli called the Turkish centralized model of sovereignty/ government. Where the army is loyal to the sovereign by using rotating officials, rather than European lords with personal armies nested within a larger hierarchical superstructure.

The saddest fact is that the stupid, presently the Woke & the Left in general, would fight tooth & nail not to let any decent leaders to take the helm. Curbing the excesses of the non-contributing i.e. curbing parasitism is their greatest fear.
The most frustrating part is that we have those types on the Right as well but fortunately to a less harmful degree.
The sooner the stupid realise & accept that others should not be expected to be their for them to provide the sooner actual progress can be made. Intellectuals are good at talking the talk but incapable of walking the walk !
