harder on the throat of the deep state and chicoms. They are writhing in pain, but not dead yet. 2021 is the year they end.
It is time to understand these stories (religion), instead of considering them the superstitious enemy of science. The great myths of mankind are not theories of objective existence. They are, instead, imaginative roadmaps to being. They have emerged, painstakingly, piecemeal, as a consequence of our continual close self- observation, our developing understanding of the patterns of action that are essentially adaptive, and their representation in symbolic, narrative and dramatic form, during the transition from implicit behavioural pattern to explicit communicable form. We tell stories about how to play: not about how to play the game, but about how to play the metagame, the game of games. When chaos threatens, confront it, as quickly as possible, eyes open, voluntarily.
Life is not the constant shrinking away from the terror of death, hiding behind an easily pierced curtain of beliefs. Life is the forthright challenging of the insufficiencies that confront us, and the powerful, life-affirming existential meaning that such pursuit instinctively produces. It is that which keeps the spectre of mortality at bay, while we work diligently, creatively, at work whose meaning is so powerful and self-evident that the burden of existence seems well worth bearing. Terror management, be damned! The path of the eternal hero beckons, and it is a doomed and dangerous fool who turns his back on it.
