Re: Freedom: Fragile Fiction

This very thing was spoken of by St Paul in the New Testament. He differentiated the children of the bondwomen and children of the promise. In simple terms, the first was under cultural law or one size fits all procedures designed for the herd to homogenize it. The other was connected to the inner spirit in humans that would lead the individual to truth or their unique finger print and place in life.

But then, as now, most people want to be bonded to the herd. He equated this to the fear of death which would keep people willingly enslaved. Their telos will reach a limit in terms of how high up the ladder of the herd most wish to be bonded. Nobody wishes to bonded at the bottom, unless there is prestige from the herd to do this. The child of the promise, is not a herd animal, but a unique finger print in the world, not limited by that herd fear. This original movement didn't last that long before the herd crushed it with fear to enslave everyone. Bu the unique finger prints keep popping up. The New Testaments calls this unique finger print the Holy Spirit.

Science helps perpetuate the fear with chaos, uncertainty. It is scary out there, so stay with the herd. But other aspects of science use reason to shine light in the darkness so things aren't quite as scary. This is one of the tools the children of the promise use. Even if one is not religious, St Paul said one spirit being used in many ways for the common good. It is still sort of a herd animal but not one in a pen, but is free roaming. But although still free roaming it breeds with the herd.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
