Apologies for being so late to the party. Something must be wrong with my notifications, since I'm only just now seeing all this.
One passage struck me:
"By contrast, the WEF technocrats, those systems guys who work with electronics, screens and mathematical modelling have no ability to see beyond their world and into the earth of a farmer..." etc.
I'm a "systems guy," though not in the way you describe here. True "systems guys" (and girls) see a broader perspective than merely the mechanistic view, which you so devastatingly well describe, evoking the image of He Who Must Not Be Named (but I will anyway), Uncle Klaus.
The yang to the mechanistics' yin is organic (and I don't mean food). The organic systems thinker recognizes and embraces the idyllic images and relationships as well. It's just that so much of systems thinking these days is wrapped up in the mechanistic, the organic is lost in the maelstrom.
The yin-yang analogy is actually appropriate, because the two are inseparable. Until we all reach our ultimate fulfillment in the Kingdom of the Lord, where spirituality (organic) prevails, we do ourselves a disservice if we fail to recognize that the obverse side of reality---the mechanistic---is fused to its reverse side, the organic.
Kudos to you-dos for raising our awareness of the organic ... it deserves equal time, if not more now to balance the deficit in emphasis it has suffered for decades...
Thanks for the thoughts Sideways. They are well worth reflecting on and I'll be sharing your substack.
I have been lucky enough to discover that the Scripture, liberated from mistranslation, is actually in-line with what I've learned of the world and history these past decades.
Unfortunately that revelation is unaccessible to most, due to the reign of Esau. Oh well.
Let's each figure out what we can, exposing each lie and corruption as we find it.
