also this part : Gutkind suggested that unlike the mass hypnosis spoiling mankind at the time, "The soul of the Jewish people was never a mass-soul. Israel's soul could not be hypnotized; it never succumbed to hypnotic assaults.
When you watch that Iranian travel vid , you also see a marvelous culture with its poetry of love & architecture & fabulous crafts but all couched in this fabulously exquisite hypnotic state which for any other human grouping/ culture induced by the present day religion, national awareness & the mythological & real heroic historical past all binding & creating these memes of mindset . How many times have we seen this tendency for so many power centers that used & operated from this universal human hypnotic state ? Creating the mindsets of nationalism , fanaticism bent on planned agression, domination & supremacy ?
(This tendency for mass hypnosis of human beings would almost have predicted a Nazi Germany from 3000yrs before )
Its too bad as that travel video shows , what a beautiful beautiful culture the Iranians really have that it would be all goodness for some of that culture to emulate . But perhaps thats the nature of man, the evolved chimpanzee with the bigger brain that cannot live in the world of reality without the inclusion of the fantastical Mid Summer Night's Dreams inducements & the pedastled Altars of eternal fires & the majesties of an afterlife , given how brief our little lives .
I'll give Iran an A+++ for family values , that they don't have any American fast food chains and they don't think God intended them to spend all their leisure time at drunken BBQ tailgate Baseball , Football & NasCar parties . But all that keeps our gladiatorial spirit alive & still helps us to field well fed , alert & effective soldiers . And in fairness Iran was fucked with horribly by the CIA and attacked by Saddam Hussein just unfortunate they have gone down the route of Nuclear arming but its all a net we all have a part in creating . And its understandable from their POV perfectly , but cannot & should not be allowed to happen .
They really should back down and just prosper off all that oil , the Turks, South Africa & Saudis have all chosen to be non nuclear , we just cant have another nuclear armed state in the world especially in that location. And it could lead to eventual strategic invasion, which the Iranians really do not want to see happen . We have full control over the Iraqi airspace & like Iraq a miltary operation would be quick , decisive & very shocking to the surprise of many dead Iranians . And thats without Israel, unfortunately Iran's Clerics have chosen to go down the wrong path & its going to cost them hugely . |
