"People thousands of years ago didn't know that the Earth was round."

Wrong. Ancient Greeks even calculated the Earth's diameter.

“It has naturally been objected by economists that our Law, in declaring every man and every woman to be a star, reduces society to its elements, and makes hierarchy or even democracy impossible. The view is superficial. Each star has a function in its galaxy proper to its own nature. Much mischief has come from our ignorance in insisting, on the contrary, that each citizen is fit for any and every social duty. But also our Law teaches that a star often veils itself from its nature. Thus the vast bulk of humanity is obsessed by an abject fear of freedom; the principal objections hitherto urged against my Law have been those of people who cannot bear to imagine the horrors which would result if they were free to do their own wills.” library.hrmtc.com/2026/01/29/i #aStar #abjectFear #aleisterCrowley #anyAndEvery #book #book220 #cannotBear #declaring #democracy #doTheirOwnWills #eachCitizen #eachStar #economists #elements #everyMan #everyWoman #fit #free #Freedom #function #galaxy #hierarchy #horrors #humanity #ignorance #imagine #impossible #insisting #itsNature #itsOwnNature #Law #liberCCXX #liberLegis #makes #muchMischief #naturally #NewComment #objected #obsessed #onTheContrary #ourLaw #people #principalObjectionsMyLaw #proper #quote #reducesSociety #result #socialDuty #Star #superficial #teaches #TheBookOfTheLaw #vastBulk #veilsItself #view

And when #PowerWithoutValues … always serves itself, why do we hand leadership responsibility to people who lack an inner sense of duty of care at all? Who chooses this? Three things destroy every society … #Greed #Ignorance #Fear #noTrump #Resistance 🖖

Bernd von Mallinckrodt & @vonmallinck... • jetzt Und wenn #MachtOhneWerte ...
stets sich selbst dient, warum überlassen wir Menschen ohne innere Sorgfaltspflicht überhaupt Führungsverantwortung?
Wer wahlt so was?

@alanthecampbell @lzg

any student of history sees the pattern of how operates

what is happening in the now is simple of the nature of the new . we have collectively forgotten

it's who support it but will also become its victims

and it's entitled complacent morons who don't

the generation that saw understands, but they are dying off. in their place are legions of idiots who don't understand what the big deal is

they will learn the hard way

Chock-o-block full of #ignorance, #sexism #murder, #terrorism, #fraud, #rape, #extortion, #racism and #extremism. Many are outright #liars #traitors and #delusional #crackpots.

It's really been this way for generations, it's just getting worse as the years go on.

@BuckRogers1965 @georgetakei Presumably, “Donut Wholes”, in Donald Trump’s imagination, are full-size round donuts meant to be filled with custard or red currant jelly. #WholeMilk #ignorance #unqualified #Trump
