The Theatre of Virtue

This post is going to show you how we cover up the shame and guilt of being obedient instruments of authority - effectively a self induced slavery which no one is proud of when it is finally confessed to.

To cover up the inevitable shame and guilt of ones self induced obedience slavery, all tribe members use a theatre of virtue to keep our slavery hidden. 

These things are all on the face of it admirable virtues. But in the most important way to us as obedient players, they're really a masquerade we hide behind as surface protection from the guilt and shame of our wilful obedience to authority - the most pernicious form of slavery - slavery has always been self induced. A theatre of virtue. 

Though this helps the slave in the short term, there is no escape from the ultimate damaging effects on our psyche if we proceed with wilfully obedient slaves. 

To cover up the inevitable shame and guilt of ones self induced obedience slavery, all tribe members use a theatre of virtue to keep our slavery hidden. 

This theatre comprises the following language and activities: 

  • following the science
  • using observed fact
  • planet saving
  • doing charity
  • showing empathy
  • paying our taxes
  • following the law
  • helping the poor
  •  and so on and so on

Though this helps in the short term, there is no escape from the ultimate damaging effects on our psyche if we proceed with wilful obedience. 

We can see this playing out today as entire ancient nations give up the honour of those who came before them, due to the guilt and shame. 

And tribal law makes it very hard to accept our shame and guilt - we have chosen an authority to whom we are obedient. This means we can also project blame onto them to escape from our guilt and shame. An ideal escape route which helps us to continue being obedient ironically. Yet another sham.

PETITION: Government to Indicate Countries of the UK Are Open to Accede to the US

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the United Kingdom, it would end their system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy . Instead, if they joined the United States as separate states, they would govern themselves under the U.S. federal system while receiving its protection. This proposal recognises that immediate change is unlikely but urges a serious conversation to addres...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado

This is a proposal to show how the 18.6 year real estate cycle is a hang over from times where the mechanics of the lunar month were used by high priests of the time to forecast ancient agricultural cycles - what we would today call a business cycle culminating in a financial crisis or a great recession. The 18.6 year period is governed by the intersection of lunar and solar eclipses. It is known scientifically as the Saros Cycle. Where all 3 harmonics of the orbit of the moon coincide once every 18.6 years. The ancient scholars knew this. And the politicians of the time used it to signal the day when the economy would be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because this period was about how long the people of nations could abuse the economy before it was too late to recover on its own and much worse effects would have emerged. So it was the wisdom of the leadership of the time. As the aeons went by, the meaning and rationale of this policy became normalised - people an...

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview?

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview? I didn't. But it's when I believe my worldview, is truth, that I become violent without realising it. This is extremely hard for people to accept as possible. The resistance to seeing it and the temptation to escape from looking, is built into its foundations. So, I never said worldviews are bad for us. I did say that when I believe my worldview is a fact, then "I" become root cause of the worlds problems. Thought creates an image of the world. Then thought worships the image that thought created. I am scared of death. So I create an existential worldview about immortality - an image. This can be a God, a political ideology, scientific religiosity, atheism, planet saving activism, anything which my fear of death can hide behind. So if I do 'good' through this image I created, I will ultimately get a 'seat on the right hand side of God' , or whatever the image I created has defined as heaven. Then I w...
