“We will not solve an existential crisis by simply taking certain materials out of our lives. We have to become re-connected to our better selves and no longer abide to serve a system that upholds tyranny.

Tyranny does not require advance technology to exist.” This is what I’ve been trying to tell people; albeit, in a far less eloquent way. Most people don’t want to hear it -- and these are people who are (for the most part) logical, right-thinking people. They insist that we must ditch ALL tech to escape the clutches of these evildoers.

Brilliantly insightful and challenging ! The existential crisis is an individual crisis involving personal choice, a choice granted by our Creator as part of a gift of life with its inherent freedom...but not without responsibility to honor and care for that gift. " I am now giving you the choice between life and death, between God's blessing and God's curse, and I call heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Choose life." (Deuteronomy 30:19)

Cynthia, This is a most informative and thorough treatment of a topic which interests me greatly. It also ties in very well with a project I’m working on at present, so timely as well. I’ll be in touch with you soon, as I’d like to have you as a guest on my TNT RADIO program The No Fly Zone in due course. If you’re up for it. Best wishes, GM

Cynthia, thank you so much for publishing such a profound and mind's eye opening thesis. It has helped me understand that there are no boundaries to the expansion and development of our minds and spirits.

A couple of comments: The much esteemed theory of 'the selfish gene' comes crumbling to the ground when it faces the fact that some people are simply not selfish. Some people, when playing games, out of kindness, compassion or a desire to teach selflessness, help the opponent win the game.

To me the 'big bang theory' and 'black holes' provided a valuable service: they informed me of the utter puerility of conventional cosmology. Because of peoples' fascination with explosions, Hollywood movies are full of them and that fascination or captivation has spilled over into cosmological theories. The biggest explosions that humans have witnessed are nuclear explosions so the current theory is that our own Sun is a planet of millions of nuclear explosions.

As you mentioned, the narrative control has been going on for a very long time: From medicine men or shamans creating a narrative to instill fear in the minds of those whom they wished to control, right up to the almost total world control of the fake pandemic and climate change.

Is the human race destined to be divided into those who know and those who do not want to know? I would love to see greed evaporate and humanity enter a true age of light.

Terrific description of how bizarre their intellect is becoming.

Comes across as a mental aberration about the abstract only.

Will they hack into the unknown as I’ve never heard humanity defined by these people and if humanity is all about adaption how could they possibly hack

this unknown.

Thank goodness your grounded.

The so-called Intelligenceia have always have been some of the most dangerous people on this planet when ever they get control or their ideas are implemented, from Russell, Sanger, Wells, Brzezinski, Shaw, Huxley, Attali, Harari, Gates, Schwab, et al. Great piece Cynthia!

Cynthia, thank you for sharing your outstanding presentation with us. I'm sure it was very well received in Basel! In getting in touch with our deeper humanity--which is, as you point out, is sacred, beautiful and good--I have found it helpful to look at some indigenous cultures that may not have had big technological advancements, but nonetheless demonstrated purpose and fidelity to humanity and the well-being of the community that are more advanced than many modern societies. Are you familiar with Malidoma Patrice Somé's book "The Healing Wisdom of Africa: Finding Live Purpose through Nature, Ritual and Community", about the pre-colonial period Dagara people in what is now Burkina Faso? Much for us to learn from here!

WOW! That was an awsome speech! What a crock of dung that has been spewed out these many years!

Thank you !!💐💐

Brilliant analysis, Cynthia, as always.

It is astounding to me that we even have to waste time debating about Yuval Harrari. After reading some of his sickining, blathering books (know thine enemy) it is obvious that he is an intellectual zero. It is a strange world where someone can spout nonsense and have the microphone of the World Economic Forum.

Meanwhile- WEF 2.0 : Larry Fink, head of the W.E.F. is introducing us to the lastest phase of the psychopathic dystopian goals which is moving from propaganda to force. Certainly an indication of panic and desperation on their part, but with no lack of additional suffering for humanity.

Ooooo.. this looks amazing! I am just reading That Hideous Strength for the 3rd time having not read it for a few years and am picking up so much stuff in it that I had previously missed now I know more about the world. I also noticed in Lewis's Preface that he credits the idea for the book to the Transhumanist Olaf Stapledon!

Harrari would not stand a chance in debate with Cynthia. She could destroyed that idiot

Excellent, you might also think of mentioning that AN Whitehead, after writing Principia Mathematica, went on to develop a philosophy of organism which has given rise to process theology and radical new inspirations in the realm of cosmology and epistemology
