Tornado Alley (PROG)

[F6]

my take re 'Zeitgeist', fwiw --

Part 1 (the post to which this post is a reply) -- conclusive; irrefutable in reality

Part 2, re 9/11 -- let's just say 'interesting'

Part 3, re central banks and on down that line -- lost; correct that there are those with that kind of power, i.e. starts off pointed in the right direction, but right off the bat goes off the tracks in diving straight into the among other things vastly too simplistic and incoherently abstract central bankers mythology -- which is itself a woefully inadequate magical thinking substitute for doing the real work of understanding what is actually out there, what is actually going on out there

ending -- washes completely out into an empty utopianism which is no less magical thinking than the beliefs assessed in Part 1 -- there will be no sudden wave-of-a-wand revolution of consciousness that will somehow just happen as if some holy spirit had come upon us and bestowed knowledge and wisdom -- that's not to say that there cannot be at least relatively rapid positive shifts in understandings and attitudes; it is to say that such shifts will be, can only be, driven by attention to and engagement with realities rather than by inchoate utopian yearnings -- back here in reality, for each of us in this life, both individually and together, there is only the hard, messy and inherently unending work of trying to understand our reality as it is and, working with such understanding, to define and make real a better way forward -- detail by ever-changing detail, complexity by ever-changing complexity
