We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

Posts that I especially recommend today: Thursday, May 14, 2020

  • Professor Dolores Cahill Debunking the Corona Narrative from the channel Computing Forever (on YouTube) and posted on Gumshoe News that is based in Australia. (Note: More and more medical doctors and scientists are coming forward to challenge the pervasive fear campaign on major media. We have heard from the Bakersfield, California doctors here (which was censored on YouTube) and here, the Dr. Ioannidis of Stanford University here, and others; but now we hear from the highly qualified Prof. Cahill who thoroughly debunks the fear campaign. If you wish to skip the introduction and Cahill's opening remarks about more details regarding her qualifications, you may want to start listening at 9:08m.)
