It is very sad, whenever I see a black guy or woman, and often a non black woman, below 60 or 70 in a prominent position in finance, science, the military, technology, etc., I go to another channek because I assume they are there because of DEI, not real merit.
It is black, women and other “under represented” minorities who must fight to throw out DEI.
Fighting discrimination?, by all means, but DEI is like prescribing so much medication that kills the patient.
DEI has destroyed valid complaints of discrimination. DEI is irrational for society because it undermines it. But it is a rational effort by the deranged Marxists posing as progressives who pursue destruction of society.
Their goal is to build over the ashes of any country the Mesianic Marxist Magic Mad Land of Milk and Honey.
Of course it will be another disaster like Nazional Sozialismus, Communism, Maoism, Castrism, etc., but the destruction of the US will prove to then once again, that “humans are flawed sinners” that “human society is intrinsically bad and must be destroyed to build the Promised Land.
Based on religion or Marxism the concept is irrational, it makes no difference if the goal is to bring the Promised Land about peacefully or violently.
The obvious truth is that humans build the societies they are capable of building and that only step by step, applying reason to the problems it faces can societies advance.
What brings about the betterment of human life is the application of reason to all problems; hunting, farming, preparing food, cope with the weather, deal with illness and death, etc.
Only reason allowed humans to survive.
Only when they figured out how to make fire, cover themselves, build shelter, dimesticate animals, cook food, rational social rules, and now with science and technology applied to everything, have humans better their lives beyond their wildest dreams.
Religions and ideologies provide consolation and false certainty that often help millions of humans cope.
Science is persuading more and more humans that the idea of a god or gods just does not fit with the reality science (human reason) step by step explains with observation and measurements.
Like the ancient Greek Protagoras said 500 BC: “Concerning the gods, I am not able to know whether they exist or do not exist, nor what they are like in form; for there are many obstacles to knowledge, including the obscurity of the subject and the brevity of human life.”
Or what another Greek, Democritus, said about the soul: “Mind and soul are part of the body. Thought, sensation, and consciousness are physical processes, caused by atomic interactions—not by an immaterial substance”.
Sadly the totalitarian Macedonians destroyed Greek democracy and freedom of thought and the lights went out even further with Christianity. Only when the Europeans rediscovered the Greeks and triggered the Renaissance and the Enlightenment did we start to recover freedom of thought, demicracy, Reason and sparked modern science.
The rest is history, the whole World is in the process of becoming Greco European, but not without hiccups in Europe itself, as the Nazis and the Communists prove, and even right now, the totalitarian tendencies we see in representative democracies like the UK, US, France, Germany, etc. Not to mention places like China who still are dominated by a cocktail of Communist and racial superiority madness.
Science also starts to explain and understand our individual and collective behaviours. We do not know enough yet to properly raise children and organize society but eventually we will figure out cause and effect.
Unfortunately, as religion recedes we are not educating the new generations to apply reason to life and many feel disoriented as parents and children, as leaders too.
When will we throw away this crazy idea Marxists and followers of religions so firmly share?, that somehow, there is a magic all-encompasding answer?
When will we recover the still largely lost idea of the Greeks that humans have intrinsic dignity and intelligence because, like all other creatures it is natural for them to seek the good of the individual and the group, to use Reason to understand themselves and the rest of nature, the whole universe, to satisfy their curiosity, overcome irrational and rational fears through reason and science and to live free full lives in Greek style real democracy.
Our reasoning ability is far from perfect but only applying reason ti what we observe can we improve our lot, not by dreaming magic ideas, religious or otherwise.
This idea of an all powerful god, of religions and holy books that “explain everything” and promise paradise, as well as Marxist paradise, are rationalisations of fears and misery.
Only reason, science, material advances have really improved the daily lives of humans.
Not one single ideology, except the ones placing human intrinsic dignity and capacity at the center can do anything to objectively improve the quality of human life.
Let us throw out DEI and Marxism, as well as the idea that political or money elites have any special insight to govern over us.
Let us go to the Greek idea of real democracy, that us, the people, will govern ourselves, that we are the ones to decide the rules of the land using debate and reason, not based on any religion or Marxism of Nazional Socialism, both as fanatical and irrational as the most fanatical religions.
The Greeks are long gone but their ideas are the pillars of our civilisation (not Christianity or Judaism). Fortunately we have a modern nation that comes pretty close to the idea of real democracy, real government by the people. That country is Switzerland. Study it.
Let the citizens decide all important laws and issues and the contents of the constitution and let the people decide what is important.
DEI, gay marriage, immigration, the national debt, the education system, the health system, the involvement in wars, the level of taxation, the military budget, the powers of politicians and judges, the constitution, ANYTHING must be subject to the initiative and the approval by the voters.
The Swiss prove that when the voters are made directly responsible for the reality of the town, the city, the state, and the nation they decide far more responsibly than elected politicians decide and the people can not do anything other than complaint or wait to the next election when another party will mislead the town, city, state and nation in another direction.
Of course, China-style dictatorships are abominations contrary to human dignity. Unfortunately, if democracy degenerates enough, as is the case now in the US, disintegration or degeneration into such systems that at least provide order, might be preferred by the people, even if the price is to live like not much better than domestic animals in terms of freedom, although they might have money and be well fed.
Time to wake up and peacefully demand Swiss style democracy at ALL government levels.
