How Far Is Too Far?

I wrote this piece for a Contemporary Philosophy course at University more than a decade ago. I'm not old, but I'm older.

How far is too far, excessive technology has come close to reaching “scientific atheism”. If sheep could be created in today’s laboratories, then what’s next? Whole generations will then be the results of some experimentation seeking perfection which will never be established. I am basing my words on the mere certainty of the availability of a healthy social system; starting from the individual himself and ending as the collective conscience of the world population.

The human being today, having been taken apart from the natural environment he once lived in, is totally unaware of the “cons” of science and technology. This is well exemplified in the fact that family bonds are getting weaker with time. In fact, 50% of marriages in the U.S end up by divorce. Most of them became more of a deal than a supposedly limpid commitment based on love and understanding. The results are obvious and many: more suffering siblings, more psychosocial problems and a deep crack in the wall called society. Without noticing, men’s interest became more directly oriented towards the matter.

A paradigm, which is an acceptable model or pattern, is closely related in terms of meaning to the concept of Normal Science. The later refers to the knowledge added to the already obtained. A paradigm is called so only when it is believed that it will make a change for the better. The near-future expected scientific revolution will find lots of answers to the unexplained, but at the same time it will also lead to a myriad of other more complex interrogations. The shifting of paradigms from my point of view is a complete change in everything, and especially the human mind who’s the controlling kind of all known beings in this life.

The concept of relativity will then occur, if the smallest group in the society called the family is falling apart, then what will happen on the larger scale? Feelings will be considered rare commodities for those whose main concern will be greedily gaining more power, money or both. The ones who will survive this social revolution will be the uncommon; this group knows well his true mind power and will always thrive to be in control rather than to be controlled.

The unceasing amount of technological development is heading towards globalization, as claimed by governments today and people are reachable today only by pressing buttons. The truth is that the advancement is really happening but on a deeper level, it is slowly entrapping the individual’s mind. A sense of alienation will probably occur to those who will deal with science as a religion. Discriminations, instead of vanishing, will reach its extreme measures within the segments of societies.

The paradoxical issue of how science and technology could be both good and evil is not fully yet understood. Personally, I believe that the day will come when life will lead us instead of us leading it. Taking the Y2K phobia for an example shows how the machines are already in a state of domination. A logical, social revolution and a new concept of a paradigm will take place.

One cannot deny the major role science and technology have played in the evolution of the human mind. Without it, we would have ignored much indispensable knowledge we know about today. Medicine or space conquering are concrete examples of the importance of the scientific development we have undergone lately. New wonders of the universe are still discovered every day, helping us complete our understanding to the jigsaw puzzle of life. Just a few decades ago, 1 out of 3 people who got pneumonia lost their lives to the disease!

“Keep your eyes on the stars on your feet on the ground”, this quote by Theodor Roosevelt is a perfectly suitable illustration to what I’m aiming for. What’s happening today is that the advancement of science and technology is not only enabling us to “keep our eyes on the stars” and helping us understand the unknown but it’s also lifting “our feet from the ground” which is definitely not the wanted outcome, I believe. By departing from our base we’ll be lost in labyrinths of thoughts and questions that will never be all answered. For only the Divine knows the future and only the Devine is the symbol of perfection.

We have to learn how to use science for our benefit, bearing in mind the damages resulting, and trying to minimize them. One of the most sinister damages that have already occurred was the change of the concept of naturalism, which was famous in the late 60’s with the hippy movement. I believe that a more vicious one will be following and a breakdown will be the result due to the fact that we are getting more and more controlled by computers and machines. The individual will be lacking his freedom, his privacy and most of all getting further away from the nature he once lived in and embraced.

New concepts will take place as well as new believes, new ethics and new life styles. Furthermore, the change will climb its way up the ladder of materialism. On the society level, art, fashion, music and drugs will all experience transformation and every single component of the existing paradigm will probably be exchanged with other, newer and assumingly better.

Madness is also a very possible outcome of the scientific revolution. The feeling of being constantly controlled and embedded under the “science” umbrella will probably unleash a sensation of insanity. Also, a great need to break down the walls will be born, the one encircling the inner self and the much larger one: The New System. The urge to unchain all the rules and not being able to, will exhibit itself in sorts of abnormalities in humans’ personalities such as psychological disturbances. To stabilize the system and to keep societies under control, scientists backed by their governments, will then come up with more ideas like the use of mind/dream-controlling drugs. People will only be digitally identifiable and the use of names will be long gone history. New ideologies will then derive from the hands of the “enlightened” scientists and everyone will be included in the world order. Wanting to reach the Utopian life and the brave new world that Huxley once talked about, we will get further away from our essence and the nature bestowed on us.

I guess we will only have to wait and see where this shift of paradigms is taking us. Everything is predisposed and the future remains unknown, even to our scientists.

The Mysterious World of Crop Circles [with Video]

 
If you believe that all those formations are man-made then maybe you should try and convince me. I watched documentaries, read a few publications and gave it a real deep end thought, and my conclusion is that most crop circles are definitely not the work of humans, especially those ridiculously complicated ones. I also think that they don't get enough publicity in conventional media because of their shocking realness.


Crop circles are also called crop formations, because they are not always circular in shape and they started making appearances in the 1970s with 90% in Southern England alone. Almost 30 countries have reported about 10,000 of them since then according to Wikipedia. It amazes me how a phenomenon so mysteriously widespread still has no definite explanation "by our planet enlightened scientists." There are also no certified proofs about their origin, knowing that the topic has been in the light for nearly 4 decades. Some videos have captured flying objects above the fields, usually at night before the formations are seen the next morning. No official reports were ever clear enough by governments, ministries of defense or intelligence agencies even after countless investigations and research projects. Something is fishy.

This leads me to believe that the knowledge is indeed there but is not shared, same as with UFO's. By getting real, saving the public from being frightened if they found the truth is such a lame excuse for all this top secrecy, and it reveals that whatever is there to hide must be of great value and that's obviously the reason why it's not being shared.


Now I'll look at matters by wearing different shoes. Yeah some have a 3rd eye in their feet. Let us imagine that a few centuries-old secret societies such as The Free Masons or The Illuminati own some dangerous knowledge granting them extreme power and superiority, do you think they will ever be vocal about it or share such controversial and booming news? That would simply defy the very nature of their own secretive nature. Also, when you are already acquiring some of this power, wouldn't you use all your might to defend what you have already gained and most likely still be wanting more? That's just basic logical reasoning without any sort of judgment.         

Prescott Bush (1895 - 1972) who is George Dubya's grandfather, served as a business partner of, and U.S. banking operative for the financial architect of the Nazi war machine from 1926 until 1942, when Congress took aggressive action against him and his partners. After the seizures of the various businesses they oversaw along the German partners, the U.S. government quietly settled with Bush and the others after the war; they each received $1.5 million in cash as compensation for their confiscated business assets! Yeah, you betray your own country and fund the enemy for astronomical gains while killing millions of young innocent men in a world war and still get even more money after your government decides that enough is enough. That is mesmerisingly diabolic, and it gets even more exciting.

In 1952, grand dad Prescott was surprisingly elected to the U.S. Senate, with no press accounts about his well-concealed Nazi past. A few decades later, after serving a few high posts including Director of the CIA, his son George Herbert Walker Bush becomes the president of the greatest nation on earth, again with zero talk about papa's betrayal to the nation or to humanity. Then when things couldn't get more bizarre and 2 terms later, Senior's doofus son, W, becomes president # 43. There was still no record of any U.S. press coverage of the Nazi connection during any political campaigns conducted by George Herbert Walker Bush, Jeb Bush, or George W. Bush. Now how did that happen if you don't have serious control over pretty much everything?

For six decades these historical facts have gone unreported by the mainstream U.S. media. The essential facts have appeared on the Internet and in relatively obscure books, but were obviously dismissed by the media and the Bush family. The same story that has also escaped the attention of all official Bush biographers, Presidential historians and publishers of U.S. history books covering World War II and the following era.

The Rothschild, The Rockefeller and The Bush families along with most of the world's Royalty share some blue blood as they share being prominent members of the The Free Masons and The Illuminati. With little research, anyone can find out how these secret societies operate by offering sacrifices; humans and animals. They believe they receive the power of those departed souls which "enter" them upon their death. They also believe in opening portals between dimensions and practice ancient occultist rituals to reach a New World Order, of course with them as its leaders. Freaky stuff but it must somehow work for them, at least until now or they wouldn't be religiously involved for centuries. Since those 1 percenters are the world's richest and most powerful, they do have mammoth global control over the world and its events. The media, the banks, the movies, the arms, the advertisements, the drugs and the wars are all within their gigantic hands. Politics is just a game to be played on the facade to fool the people and feed them what they think should be fed.

 
The reason why I'm linking the secret societies with crop circles is to show that there are those  who work behind closed doors, filtering what to be made public, how and when. By 1992, the British government has reportedly pushed 2 pranksters, Doug and Dave, into confessing that they were the ones behind all crop circles since 1978, using simple tools that consist of a plank of wood, rope, and a baseball cap fitted with a loop of wire for walking in a straight line! They tried to discredit the whole phenomenon with all its mystery and beauty but the public did not buy it and the formations continued to appear around different parts of the world. In fact, After 1990 the designs developed exponentially in complexity, and today it is not unusual to come across crop glyphs mimicking binary codes, computer fractals and elements expressing fourth dimensional processes in quantum physics. Crop circles have also increased in size, some occupying areas as large as 200,000 sq. ft.

And even if the pranks were real, a hoax is a forgery and forgers require a genuine from which to copy. So, who's behind the originals? Again, officials trying to distort the facts, but why?

Decoding the meaning of crop circles and some of the other controversial topics must have already took place years ago, the alarming part is the secrecy behind it which entails that something big must be going on in their favor. It would simply be impossible to cover all the details on here, but I thought that shedding some light on the whole topic would be beneficial, only for those who choose to open their eyes and digest the bigger picture. As for the others who just like to blindly follow as sheople, you are doing exactly what they want you to. Wake up!

Peggy Lee — It's A Good Day

I don't usually post songs on here, but what to say, it is a good day indeed and this tune is lightheartedly happy. Here are the lyrics too.


"It's A Good Day"

Yes, it's a good day for singing a song,
and it's a good day for moving along;
Yes, it's a good day, how could anything be wrong,
A good day from morning' till night

Yes, it's a good day for shining your shoes,
and it's a good day for losing the blues;
Everything to gain and nothing' to lose,
A good day from morning' till night

I said to the Sun, "Good morning sun
Rise and shine today"
You know you've gotta get going
If you're gonna make a showin'
And you you've got the right of way.

'Cause it's a good day for paying your bills;
And it's a good day for curing your ills,
So take a deep breath and throw away the pills;
'Cause it's a good day from morning' till night.
