Hyperian History Of The World (19th Century, Part 4)
Hyperian History Of The World (19th Century, Part 4)
The 19th century was the time where we begin to see more clearly the split between philosophy and science. In prior centuries the goal of the two disciplines had been the same, that of explaining and understanding the nature of existence, so they had both been similar and related, with science even having been formerly known as ‘natural philosophy’. Yet the rivalry of Newton and Leibniz had created an irreparable split between them, one which became much more obvious in the 19th century.
The divisive figure for philosophy was, in fact, Hegel. Hegel’s philosophy represented the culmination of German idealism which had begun with Leibniz. Leibniz had actually come the closest to truly explaining reality, yet had begun to mathematicise his philosophy as best he could with the mathematics available to him at the time. Unfortunately, subsequent philosophers had abandoned this project in favour of more complex metaphysics, whilst science did make use of mathematics, although somewhat illegitimately given that science was based on empiricism and mathematics is the purest expression of rationalism. Hegel’s philosophy represented the most complete and complicated system of idealism, yet subsequent philosophers had great trouble with it.
As we have seen, Marx had revered Hegel, yet had misinterpreted him and had developed a materialist version of his philosophy which would nonetheless have huge real world impact. Other philosophers would be less kind to Hegel. The problem was that Hegel’s philosophy seemed so complete, yet was incredibly difficult to understand. It was as if they could tell that Hegel had developed a complete system of explaining reality, yet they couldn’t penetrate through the layers of complex, academic language in order to understand it. Thus they instead rejected it and philosophy has never been the same since.
The next significant philosopher after Hegel was Arthur Schopenhauer. Schopenhauer famously utterly rejected Hegel, referring to him as a ‘stupid and clumsy charlatan’ and describing his philosophy as ‘presumptuously scribbled nonsense’. Schopenhauer, therefore, simply ignored Hegel and went back to Kant and developed his philosophy from that starting point.
Schopenhauer’s key assertion was that the universe was simply a single, mental, striving Will to exist. This Will does nothing other than strive for its own continued existence. The Will as it is in itself corresponds to Kant’s noumenal domain and the physical expression of the Will corresponds to Kant’s phenomenal domain, as the subjective experience that the Will has as it continues to strive for its continued existence. Thus was Kant’s philosophy tied to the idea of mind striving for something. However, as Schopenhauer had rejected Hegel, he thought that the Will was one single thing on its own, rather than being individuated into many things as Hegel (and Leibniz) might have said.
Schopenhauer said that the Will strives constantly in such a way as to experience pleasure and avoid pain. However, when the Will does experience pleasure, it quickly becomes dissatisfied with that pleasure and begins to Will pleasure of a different kind. Therefore, the Will is never ever satisfied and simply continues to Will on and on. Thus Schopenhauer’s philosophy presents the ultimate pessimistic view of reality as opposed to Hegel’s very optimistic philosophy which says that the universe will evolve to perfection eventually. Schopenhauer asserts, rather, that the Will is the very source of evil and is itself purely evil because all it does it cause us to experience only fleeting moments of pleasure as small islands in an ocean of pain and suffering.
Schopenhauer saw the similarity between his ideas and those of eastern philosophies, particularly Buddhism. Buddhism also asserts that the striving for pleasure is what ultimately leads to suffering and therefore rejects desire and seeks detachment from the world in order to transcend it. However, Schopenhauer’s philosophy far more rigorously and logically shows how this idea leads to complete and utter pessimism. Anyone who feels attracted to eastern philosophy ought to study Schopenhauer in order to understand the dangers of this way of thinking, leading as it does to pessimism and, eventually, nihilism.
Regardless of the moral implications of Schopenhauer’s Will, his philosophy shows us that physical things have an ‘inside’ from which they are subjectively experienced, for example, our minds subjectively experience our bodies from the inside. It follows that this must be true for all physical objects, thereby proving that there is a fundamental mind that subjectively experiences all matter from the inside. Mind and matter are two sides to the same coin, just as Leibniz had said.
Schopenhauer proved to be very influential, mostly because his works were so much easier to read than Hegel’s had been. Following Schopenhauer, we now arrive at one of the most devastating and explosive philosophers of all time, Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche added a teleological element to Schopenhauer’s Will, turning it from ‘Will to Exist’ into ‘Will to Power’.
Nietzsche realised that Schopenhauer’s Will to Exist was not sufficient, as there are many occasions when one might Will something that actually causes pain rather than pleasure, if this then leads on to some increase in one’s power. Nietzsche realised that the Will wasn’t simply blindly striving to exist, but was rather striving to increase its own power, i.e. it had a teleological purpose.
If existence is all about Will to Power, then stronger Wills will succeed by dominating weaker Wills. For Nietzsche, morality became all about the strength of Wills. Stronger Wills who gain in power are good and weaker Wills who lose power are bad. Nietzsche realised that this gaining of power would eventually lead to the emergence of a new type of human, which Nietzsche called the Übermensch, or Superman, individuals who had gone beyond the traditional concepts of good and evil and who had increased their power to maximum.
As an atheist, Nietzsche saw the Superman as the highest level of humanity, however, if we tie in Nietzsche’s ideas with those of Leibniz and Hegel, we can say that the Superman is a human who has become God, or a monad which has dialectically solved and balanced its own internal mathematical operations. However, Nietzsche described the Superman in a more subjective way, in terms of morality and, in particular, Will.
Nietzsche’s concept of the Superman is immensely important to Hyperianism, for as Hyperians we intend to become that very higher form of humanity of which Nietzsche wrote. To pave the way for the rise of the Supermen, Nietzsche produced works which attacked pretty much every established mode of thinking in the western world, in particular its most influential religion, christianity. Nietzsche considered christianity to be the ultimate expression of a ‘slave morality’ as opposed to the ‘master morality’ of the ancient Romans for example. For the Romans, power was good, and individuals strove to make themselves better, to attain to higher levels of power. Christians, on the other hand, were encouraged to be weak and submissive, to accept the laws of christ and even to submit to their earthly masters, to ‘turn the other cheek’ and to ‘render unto Caesar’.
Nietzsche utterly rejected this kind of slave morality and advocated, not merely a return to the master morality of the Romans, but actually to reject morality entirely and to move ‘beyond good and evil’, to ‘revalue all values’ and produce a higher humanity. As Hyperians, we agree with this totally. Nietzsche summed this up in his famous statement ‘God is dead’. Nietzsche kills the idea of god as being the moral authority of the universe. Nietzsche then realised the true implications of this, that if there is no moral authority, then we are all forced to create our own systems of morality.
Nietzsche’s greatest strength was his ability as a writer. Perhaps in response to the dry, academic style of other philosophers, Nietzsche adopted a brilliantly creative style of writing, more akin to that of great poets and novelists than philosophers. Nietzsche’s books are thrilling, exciting and passionate, allowing the reader to identify with Nietzsche’s point of view and to understand how Nietzsche has arrived at his way of thinking. There is no greater antidote to dry academia than reading Nietzsche.
In his book, ‘The Antichrist’, Nietzsche provides the most devastating critique of christianity, revealing the terrible effect it has had on humanity and utterly destroying it. It is astonishing that this religion is still so widespread more than a century after the publication of this book, in which Nietzsche writes, “I call Christianity the one great curse, the one great intrinsic depravity, the one great instinct of revenge, for which no means are venomous enough, or secret, subterranean and small enough, – I call it the one immortal blemish upon the human race….”
What the philosophies of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche do is describe the subjective experience of the evolution of the monads described by Leibniz and Hegel. Leibniz’s mathematical description of monads and Hegel’s description of the Dialectic provide the objective analysis of what is happening in the universe, as if one was looking in from the outside. Schopenhauer and Nietzsche then provide the description of what this is like from the inner point of view of an individual monad, the subjective experience of an individual within the universe. Therefore, Schopenhauer and particularly Nietzsche added a moral dimension to the explanation of existence.
With Nietzsche, it is clear that philosophy has become something very different to what it once was. Whereas Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Kant and Hegel were all ‘system builders’, who each aimed to explain reality in terms of a philosophical system, Nietzsche, on the other hand, was more of a ‘system destroyer’ who attacked every system there was, savagely cutting to the core of them and revealing their flaws. As such, Nietzsche’s philosophy is exemplary when it comes to destroying the old world, but less so when it comes to creating a new world, his concept of the Superman notwithstanding. Nietzsche was, unfortunately, too much of an empiricist to create a system which could accurately explain reality, yet Nietzsche wasn’t really in that game. Perhaps Nietzsche realised that one must first destroy the old world before the new can be created, one must tear down everything one believes in, in order to understand the truth of reality.
Perhaps Nietzsche was some kind of a prophet, one who, with his concept of the Superman, foresaw the rise of Hyperianism. As a Hyperian, it is difficult to read the preface to The Antichrist and not think that Nietzsche was writing for us:
“This book belongs to the most rare of men. Perhaps not one of them is yet alive. It is possible that they may be among those who understand my ‘Zarathustra’: how could I confound myself with those who are now sprouting ears? – First the day after tomorrow must come for me. Some men are born posthumously.
“The conditions under which any one understands me, and necessarily understands me – I know them only too well. Even to endure my seriousness, my passion, he must carry intellectual integrity to the verge of hardness. He must be accustomed to living on mountain tops – and to looking upon the wretched gabble of politics and nationalism as beneath him. He must have become indifferent; he must never ask of the truth whether it brings profit to him or a fatality to him…. He must have an inclination, born of strength, for questions that no one has the courage for; the courage for the forbidden; predestination for the labyrinth. The experience of seven solitudes. New ears for new music. New eyes for what is most distant. A new conscience for truths that have hitherto remained unheard. And the will to economize in the grand manner – to hold together his strength, his enthusiasm…. Reverence for self; love of self; absolute freedom of self….
“Very well, then! of that sort only are my readers, my true readers, my readers foreordained: of what account are the rest? – The rest are merely humanity. – One must make one’s self superior to humanity, in power, in loftiness of soul, – in contempt.”

The Universe Wants Us to Optimize Ourselves…
As it turns out, the mind simply is the electromagnetic spectrum, arranged as a frequency-structured singularity.
As it turns out, mathematics comes equipped with a complete explanation of how immaterial dimensionless singularities (minds) can interact with dimensional spacetime (matter). Ontological Fourier mathematics is all about how unextended frequency singularities generate, control and interact with a spacetime domain.
The universe has a mind and wants to do the best for itself. It wants to optimize itself, just as you want to optimize yourself. But you are part of the Cosmic Mind. You are one of its nodes. So, if the universe is trying to make the most of itself, that means it wants you to make the most of you, and it will do all it can to help you make the most of yourself – if, and this is the crucial point, you let it. Sadly, the average person does not.
What does Jung’s remarkable anecdote tell us? (about the scarab beetle). Basically, the universe knew what Jung and the woman were talking about, detected a nearby scarab beetle, and sent it to them, to increase the meaning of their interaction, and thus the overall meaning of the universe.
The whole mind of a human is present in every part of the human body, while the whole mind of the Cosmos (“God”) is present in every part of the physical Cosmos, hence knows exactly what is going on everywhere. In quantum mechanical terms, this is known as entanglement or non-locality. The ancient wisdom is also the basis of holography: the whole is in every part. There is nothing “woo” about this.
Just imagine that the universe is always scanning for opportunities such as this, and always striving to make them happen. However, imagine that there is also a force operating against the universe’s plan to increase meaning. This force is none other than human consciousness, which cuts us off from the universe, the macrocosm, and makes us dwell on our own little portion of the universe, the microcosm, where we are blind to the grand operations of the universe.
The optimized universe is the one where every part of the universe – all of us – are individually optimized. We all become optimized by working together to achieve exactly that, not by trying to put others down so that we can raise ourselves up.
Humanity is cut off from the truth: that we are all mind cells in one Cosmic Mind. We are Many in One, destined to cooperate with each other in the greater interest of the One (of which we are all part.}
We are all in a kind of game, a game to maximize our knowledge and experience of the game. We do so through the reduction of chaos, disorder, entropy. We manage this through cooperation, collaboration, communion, union, synthesis, integration, harmony and interconnectedness.
In fact, for everyone with eyes to see and ears to hear, synchronicity reflects the routine operations of the universe. The universe is always seeking to maximize meaning, and synchronicity is the default mechanism it uses.

Hyperian History Of The World (19th Century, Part 3)
Hyperian History Of The World (19th Century, Part 3)
Beethoven and subsequent composers of the 19th century belong to what came to be known as the ‘Romantic’ era of music. This mirrors the ‘Romantic’ literary movement which had begun slightly earlier at the end of the 18th century and had flourished in England with great poets such as Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley and Keats.
Whilst these poets became famous and were celebrated at the time, there was another English poet who remained virtually unknown during his lifetime, yet was one of the most distinctive and visionary poets of all time. This was William Blake. Blake didn’t just write poetry but was also a painter and printmaker who tended to decorate his poetry with elaborate and highly original visual art. Blake was truly an oddity whose poetry and painting bore almost no relation to anything else which was being created at the time. Nonetheless, after his death and to the present day he has become one of the most influential artists of all time.
Considered to be mad in his time, Blake claimed to have had many religious visions which informed his work giving it a deeply mystical, spiritual quality, with several of his works being called ‘prophetic’. Blake was deeply critical of the establishment of his time, these criticisms often being stated quite clearly in his poetry. He despised all forms of organised religion and made his political feelings clear with his overt support for both the American and French revolutions and his friendship with Thomas Paine.
Although he opposed conventional religion, Blake was nonetheless deeply religious, and devised his own rich, complex mythology to express his religious ideas. The majority of his poetry consists of expressions of this complex mythology featuring a wide array of archetypal characters leading to some of the most original poetry ever written. Blake’s work reacts to every aspect of his society. He resists not only the religion and politics of the time, but also the newly developing scientific materialist worldview which Blake considered to be cutting people off from the religious and spiritual truths of the universe.
Blake can be considered a quintessential Hyperian artist, one who completely rejected all of the conventions of his time and developed a highly original, personal style to project the wonderfully creative contents of his mind. Blake wrote, “I must Create a System, or be enslav’d by another Man’s. I will not Reason & Compare; my business is to Create.”
Whilst Blake remained unknown in his lifetime, with the other English Romantic poets becoming far more famous, the real literary giant of the era was the german writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, one of the greatest writers of all time and perhaps the most influential figure in all of German culture.
Goethe excelled as a writer in almost every genre, writing four novels, hundreds of poems from short lyric poems to longer epic poems, several plays in prose and verse, works of literary criticism, scientific treatises on a range of subjects as well as his own memoirs and an autobiography. His first novel, ‘The Sorrows Of Young Werther’, became a sensation when it was published in 1774 and Goethe remained a celebrity for the remainder of his life. Several of his poems were even set to music by musical titans such as Beethoven and Schubert.
Goethe’s greatest work, completed just before his death in 1832, was his monumental drama, Faust, one of the most influential pieces of literature in history. Written as a play, the work is really a piece of poetry intended to be read rather than performed. However, it has been staged, albeit with a running time of about twenty one hours! In Faust, Goethe presents his version of the classic german legend of Faust, the scholar who sells his soul in exchange for knowledge. Whilst the traditional legend has Faust condemned for his desires, Goethe goes about the story in a different way.
Faust is split into two parts, the first of which was published earlier in 1808. This first part begins with the demon Mephistopheles making a bet with God that he can lure Faust away from righteous pursuits. Faust is striving to gain all possible knowledge and, although he has read everything, still he yearns for more. He turns then to magic, which causes Mephistopheles to appear, firstly in the form a stray dog who follows Faust home. Once the demon appears in human form, the pact is made. Mephistopheles agrees to give Faust everything he wants, whenever he wants it, so long as Faust promises to serve the Devil in hell after he dies. Faust agrees, stating that he is seeking for one moment so perfect that he would wish it to last an eternity, a moment which he hopes Mephistopheles will be able to provide.
The pact is signed with blood and the two begin their adventures, going out to see the world. Mephistopheles causes Faust to take on the appearance of a young, handsome man and Faust meets a girl, Gretchen, beautiful and pure, whom Faust is able to seduce with help from Mephistopheles. This, however, leads to tragedy. In order to meet with Faust, Gretchen drugs her own mother, who then dies from poisoning. Later, Gretchen discovers she is pregnant and her brother challenges Faust to a duel, leading to his death at the hands of Faust and Mephistopheles. Consumed by sorrow, when her child is born, Gretchen becomes mad and drowns the illegitimate child and is convicted of murder. Faust tries to free her from prison but she refuses to escape. Faust and Mephistopheles flee but voices from heaven announce that Gretchen will be saved.
After this first part of the drama was published, it had an immediate effect on German culture. Beethoven once supposedly said that an opera based on Faust would be the greatest work of art of all time. Sadly, Beethoven did not compose this work. Beethoven, however, only knew the first part of Faust, as the concluding, second part wasn’t published until after Beethoven’s death. If the first part of Faust had captured the german imagination, the second part went far further, containing far more elaborate adventures, deeper levels of mysticism and the powerful sense of a deep secret contained within.
The second part of Faust continues the adventures of Faust and Mephistopheles, seeing them first enter the service of the Holy Roman Emperor, where Mephistopheles solves the Emperor’s financial troubles by introducing paper money. Elaborate festivities result from this, culminating in Faust summoning the spirit of Helen of Troy, his ideal of beauty, from Hades. Once the vision of Helen appears, Faust falls in love with her, yet Mephistopheles whisks Faust away back to his old study. There, they discover that Faust’s attendant, Wagner, has created an artificial, miniature human being, called Homunculus. Homunculus goes with Faust and Mephistopheles on their next adventure, as he seeks to become fully human, although he is contained within a glass flask. This quest culminates with the glass smashing, causing the death of Homunculus.
Following this, Mephistopheles goes to the real Helen of Troy, whom he transports to Faust’s fortress, where she meets and falls in love with Faust. Together, they have a son, called Euphorion, a perfect, beautiful youth who eventually becomes overly bold and falls to his death in an attempt to fly. Overcome with sorrow, Helen disappears back to Hades.
Next, Faust begins a new, grand project to become a master of the land and the sea. He wishes to control the sea in order to bring forth a new land. Faust then dwells in this new land, becoming old and blind. Eventually, Faust wishes only to better the lives of those living in his land. In this moment, Faust realises that this is the moment of pure bliss which he would wish to last an eternity. With this final blissful realisation, Faust dies and Mephistopheles believes that he has won the wager and can now claim Faust’s soul. However, angels suddenly appear and take away Faust’s soul, carrying it upwards to heaven. The final scene shows the progression of Faust’s soul towards heaven, with numerous spiritual figures appearing, extolling spiritual matters concerning the soul of Faust, culminating in the final Chorus Mysticus which concludes the drama: “Everything transitory Is only an allegory; What cannot be achieved, Here it will come to pass; What cannot be described, Here it is accomplished; The eternal feminine Draws us aloft.”
Goethe’s Faust is one of the most imaginative works of literature ever written, overflowing with archetypal imagery, profound ideas and deep mystery, with a strong sense of hidden meanings and powerful secrets. The work is also a magnificent gnostic allegory. Whereas older, more christian versions of the legend of Faust end with Faust being condemned for his desire for the knowledge of god, Goethe ends his legend with Faust’s soul ascending to heaven, in a moment of apotheosis. Goethe celebrates the ambition of Faust to acquire knowledge leading to his becoming godlike himself. Yet, importantly, Faust only achieves this after making his deal with the devil, showing how we must embrace both the darkness and the light if we are to transcend them both. This idea echoes that of William Blake in his ‘The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell’, in which Blake states that progression in life is impossible without the unification of contraries, such as good and evil.
Both Blake and Goethe, therefore, present us with highly imaginative versions of the gnostic message, Blake with a completely original mythology, and Goethe with one which draws on old legends and pagan myths full of archetypal figures and imagery. Like Blake, we must all reject the old conventions of this world and create a vision of the future which we can actualise in the here and now. Like Goethe’s Faust, we must all strive for ultimate knowledge, even if that means embracing the darker aspects of life, and we must traverse this benighted world and all of its dark places, if we are to bathe it in the light of our own inner star.
Religion, the Oldest Weapon of Mass Destruction in Human History
Religion, the Oldest Weapon of Mass Destruction in Human History
By Ned Heiden | 11 April 2016
Dutch Heretic
Most likely the first human who invented the first god was some smart tribal guy who saw that it was a very effective way to protect himself from bodily harm by the stronger ones if he made them and the less smart members of his tribe believe he had a very strong friend living across the mountains. A friend so strong that he could make the mountains rumble by stamping his feet on the ground. Others would not dare to attack him fearing the revenge of such a powerful friend and even though no one ever saw this friend it was better to be safe than sorry.
It probably did not take long for this smart guy to discover that his fellow tribesmen were easily led to believe that this thunder ally would make them nearly invincible in battle with rivaling tribes and could even conquer these tribes. The smart guy was well aware that in reality he was not safe at all so he turned to the strongest one around, usually the tribe leader and made him believe that he was favored by the mighty thunder-friend across the mountains.
As history progressed the tribal leaders became the Kings of the later times where the smart guys became the holy men, and priests.
Of course the strong friend story was revised when people could cross the mountain and were likely to find nothing there. As time passed the powerful friend moved to a place where no man could travel, places like in the sky, the deepest sea, or the top of unclimbable mountains.
Religion became the most powerful way of making people compliant and even the Roman Empire saw that its culture of countless god families would not work if they wanted to maintain power over Europe. In the 4th century Emperor Constantine the Great started a change when he decided to go for a new approach that seemed to work in the eastern territories so he threw out the old God families with their immensely complex mythical stories and started simplifying things by adopting the one single god of the Jewish culture combined with folklore about a prophet who claimed to have been the son of this Jewish god; this was a wise decision because in this way he would not cross the Jews, who he saw as a nuisance and wished he could get rid of.
He appointed a group of smart guys, that you will find in any era, and gave them the task of creating this system of a Father, a Son and a Mother who was chosen to bear this son of God, Jesus.
These smart guys of course were the Council of Nicaea that was well aware that creating a whole religion from scratch would cost decades unless they joined together old Chronicles with scriptures mostly taken from the Jewish Talmud and combined that with the new story of the prophet, Jesus son of god, in the one book that would be the guideline of the new roman religion Christianity for the future.
This compromise was created in much shorter time, and there were bound to be errors in the bible because there wasn’t enough time to cross reference the books that were included. Taking the fact that no one could read anyway and the sermons would be given in Latin these errors would not show for another millennium.
To make a big leap forward, Christianity in the form of Roman Catholicity spread across Europe and later the world in a bloody, merciless often genocidal way. Like in prehistoric times, Rulers and Priests joined forces to keep their people compliant; and a perfect example is, as the cardinal said to the king, “if you keep them poor, I will keep them ignorant”.
Even today historians are still arguing about the historicity of this statement but it gives a good image of the religious system of keeping people compliant and not turning against the ruling class. At the same time it shows how well indoctrinated compliant people could be manipulated into fighting their wars, all in the name of God and King.
To the Kings, Emperors yet to come were given the forces of church and religion, a weapon of almost unlimited numbers of subjects ready to fight their wars and to expand their illusion of power that in reality was in the hands of the smart guys behind religion.
Rulers would eventually die and could be replaced while religion kept expanding its power and influence.
All throughout history religion has been used as the most powerful weapon of genocide and destruction known to mankind.
This went perfect until the time of enlightenment when in spite of the efforts of religion to keep them ignorant, people started to think for themselves and discovered that they were being used and started rising up to the power of these Kings and other rulers, but still in the way religion had taught them, now it became “for God and Country”.
In the time of modernization, and especially the 20th century, all religions began to lose their grip on the people when more and more people left the church because they became educated and aware that they were being manipulated. The time without god was born, at least in western Europe where the average person currently identifies themselves as atheist, no longer believing in a god presented by the church.
Don’t think the religious weapon has lost it’s power. Islam has gained more power in the past 5 decades than in centuries before; they know how to use the two pillars of religion, poverty and ignorance to organize people into a formidable strike weapon against its “enemies”; and Christianity only has minimal loss in this.
Same thing happened in the USA.
Because the ruling class were not Kings or Emperors, religion has found other ways to ensure its power by giving aid to the rich who can control politics just with their money.
But religion is encountering a snag, for the first time it is feeling losses in the number of followers it can control, because more and more people are becoming educated and skeptical about this whole religious thing.
One of the pillars of religion, ignorance is rotting away. These past decades the rich and powerful have been very active to enrich themselves and keep the people poor. This is not enough, to keep its power religion also needs that other leg to stand on. To regain this, it is of absolute necessity to return the people back to compliant ignorance and bring a stop to this threat of education. Religion realizes all too well that to reverse it back to illiteracy is no longer possible, so the smart guys are now actively doing what they do best, manipulating circumstances in their favor, and therefore they need to control education to the advantage of their religion.
I think the only proof I need to present that this is all happening is to urge you to look at the rise of creationist dogma in education by getting religious people into key positions in the educational system.
For the religious weapon to survive it needs an increasing number of blind ignorant followers. The religious weapon keeps totalitarian regimes in power, and together they keep the majority of the people in the world poor and ignorant.
But now instead of kings and emperors this power is given to the rich who can use their fortune to buy their way into decision making politics while the “peasants” are going to church every Sunday and send their children to church dominated schools to make sure they receive their daily dose of brainwashing.
It is time for this weapon to be dismantled to stop this madness.
Don’t you agree?
