“The World According to Doctrine” — “Science isn’t Science anymore”
Shamelessly self-promoting: science has become a platform for the destruction of humanity – a tool of the rich and powerful; selling a vaporware future to an anxious population.
In our unhappy world: Science keeps piling block on top of block; to make a bigger pile of blocks – with the singlemindedness of a Scrooge – never admitting the need for responsibility and accountability – and with no epiphany in sight.
Science has traded the adult wisdom of fallibility; for the adolescent; “Look what I can do!”
Now what can they do to fix it?
“The World According to Doctrine” — Wikipedia: so many “lenses”. . .
It’s tough to get your feet under you when the ground is constantly shifting. Wikipedia is as level a field as the Grand Canyon – with all the clarity of a bar on Saturday night.
With each article; consider the source: Did they bother to clean the lens they’re using — or even remove the lens cap?
“The World According to Doctrine” — “Six of one; half a moment of the other”
These days; there is no such thing as a balanced argument. No time given to opposing views . . . and no mercy is given to those who hold them.
“The World According to Doctrine” — Everything is “check the boxes”
In our Standardized world: You no longer need to decide anything – the answers are placed right in front of you. Who would dare to demur? .They’re watching.
“The World According to Doctrine” — “What’s good for the goose. . .” Bumper sticker
Our government is on hair-trigger alert to add to their power with every possible excuse – but no excuse is sufficient for them relinquish any of it.
We no longer have a dialog with our government; it’s a monologue of policies and precepts – with no meaningful participation or oversight by the people. Congress is not filled with our representatives – but our rulers.
The time left to change all that is running out: Congress is deftly juggling the disastrous fallout from their Climate Change Cronyism; and when they let the pieces drop – they’ll find out that they need to control everything.
“The World According to Doctrine” — “Why is our government like cheap insurance?” Bumper sticker
Like the cheap insurance policy that refuses to pay out when you have an accident; the mirage of our government’s caring persona blinds us to a desert of bureaucracy and self-interest. You can distance yourself from the real-world consequences of a policy — until you need to use it.
“The World According to Doctrine” — “When you’re disposable. . .” Bumper sticker
How does our government deal with the victims of their policy making? The same way the Nazis did: by demonizing and dehumanizing them. They can only be one of two things: trash waiting for pickup – or litter.
“The World According to Doctrine” — “Leave no idea behind” Bumper sticker
Politicians talk about “leaving no one behind”; but if you don’t allow for individuality and human worth – you’re just moving boxes.
“The World According to Doctrine” — “OPPORTUNITY by Edward Rowland Sill”
OPPORTUNITY
by Edward Rowland Sill (1841-1887)
THIS I beheld, or dreamed it in a dream:–
There spread a cloud of dust along a plain;
And underneath the cloud, or in it, raged
A furious battle, and men yelled, and swords
Shocked upon swords and shields. A prince’s banner
Wavered, then staggered backward, hemmed by foes.
A craven hung along the battle’s edge,
And thought, “Had I a sword of keener steel–
That blue blade that the king’s son bears, — but this
Blunt thing–!” he snapped and flung it from his hand,
And lowering crept away and left the field.
Then came the king’s son, wounded, sore bestead,
And weaponless, and saw the broken sword,
Hilt-buried in the dry and trodden sand,
And ran and snatched it, and with battle shout
Lifted afresh he hewed his enemy down,
And saved a great cause that heroic day.

It’s how people were taught to succeed – before they were taught that they couldn’t.
