We live in hard times where in places where the reason is supposed to be the code, there is, in fact, a Witch-Hunting designed to suppress the reasonable people.
One day, seeking in the life of one of the most remarkable human beings in the History of Humanity. I’ve come across a 1966 Documentary: “The greatest Mathematician of the XXI century”: John Von Neumann. On it, there was a familiar face to me, Edward Teller, a personal friend of him. He said something that proves an idea I was familiar with. “For most people, thinking is a painful process”.
Johnny Von Neumann enjoyed thinking.
I have come to suspect that to most people thinking is a painful. Some of us are addicted to thinking, some of us find it a necessity. Johnny enjoyed it.
I even have the suspicion that he enjoyed practically nothing else…
Edward Teller – 1966
I have come to suspect that this is an era where for some circumstance or another one. The people of the planet have stopped listening to the reason and logic. Maybe is because the so-called postmodernist thinking or the post-Marxist thinking, I don’t know yet.
The mass, blinded by their feelings, protests in all kinds of public scenes. The number of individuals marching in these lines is so atrocious that even complete countries succumb to them and begin to legislate not taking the Reason as a reference, we got a raising number of laws never as seen before. In pursuit of obtaining a utopian society where no one offends anyone.
Perhaps this is the reason for the abandonment of the individual for knowledge and wisdom. “In order to think we must be willing to offend others” if you are not willing to do this, you simply cannot even think.
Many individuals will mistakenly think that after World War II, the reason died along with the victims of Tokyo, Hiroshima and Nagasaki or the Jews who died horribly during the Holocaust. But now I wonder, is it the fault of Reason that those hellish doors were opened during those times of war?
Those who opened those doors inducting the world to this nuclear age were nothing more than utopians, artists resentful of society, unstable subjects who ironically obtained social status by victimizing themselves and their groups. Beings with hungry for revenge who gave no respite to their morbid thirst for blood when the time came. “There is no being more dangerous than an Utopist.”
Humanity is going through an episode of Retrograde Amnesia. The subjects of this era suffer from depression, resentment, many of them end their lives. But there are others who on the contrary, find in their traumas, mistreatment and blows, the fuel and the cause for living. These subjects play the dirty game of victimization where the more you victimize yourself or your group (preferably minority) the more social status you get. It is a very sad time for humanity. We have no human beings, we have rather, animal, cynical beings. Thinking is painful for them and therefore they acquire lost, popular “philosophies” of the 70s that suggest NOT TO THINK as a definitive solution to their miserable lives.
