<I see the current valuation of your "truth" is far lower today than in recent times... >

At this point, you need to posit your values in order for your critique to have any credibility or meaning.

Manipulation is an essential feature of technology and of all moral systems. By using technology, you are partaking in the manipulation you viciously attack. Attempts like yours to escape only make the problem more acute.

The highest values are already devaluing themselves through the emerging of the insight that the ideal suprasensory world is not and is never to be realized within the real world we humans live in. The obligatory character of the highest values is beginning to totter. This is why we now have a "Moral Majority."

The pessimism of weakness sees everywhere only "gloom and doom," finds in everything a ground for failure, and claims to know how everything will turn out, in the sense of a thoroughgoing disaster.

The World is in the process of doing away with even value itself. A "revaluing of values" does not merely replace old values with new. Revaluing becomes the overturning of the nature and manner of valuing. The positing of values requires a new principle, a new principle from which it may proceed and within which it may maintain itself-a positing that values differently.

Values are being reevaluated based on the preservation-enhancement conditions with respect to humanity.

The man of the Millenium, Albert Einstein, was a good choice in that regard.
