Rather a depressing statement, on a Tuesday morning when we all perhaps need to be cheered up!
But just stepping back a little and reflecting on this history of human “knowledge”, we can’t but be drawn to rather dismal conclusions. The history of humanity is a history of the same follies repeated over and over, and although many like to speak as though we are now above this in the 21st Century, we are still sadly a long way from being there.
I’m hoping on this site over the next few months to work this theme out in a bit more detail. Sometimes we’ll focus on specific instances covered (or possibly not covered!) by the mainstream media. At other times we’ll focus on other themes that never would be covered by the mainstream media: the nature of choice, the nature of free will, the nature of desire, the history of religious belief. All good topics! All topics for which the current Conventional Wisdom is riddled with lies…
