The fabric of society crumbles as the fictions break down and people lose their faith.
What will step in are a group who have unshakable faith, who believe blindly.
It could be the battle of the fundamentalists.
Intelligence, rationality and science count for nothing.
Now is the time of fake news, superstition, division and hatred.
Let’s hope it doesn’t become the time of war, torture and mindless violence and cruelty. We’ve had too much of that.
Intelligence, rationality and science – are they not blind faiths too?
Not in my book they’re not. Intelligence is the ability to think, reason and create. Rationality is based on logic and reason. Science is the observable, repeatable. Science is based on clear evidence.
Blind faith has no substance. There is no evidence or rationale. It is illogical and not intelligent.
🙁
i think we do live in an age of blind faith but it is not teh one you are thinking of
What Simon – no Ginger Baker?
Well true opher.
FAith without clarity is equal to distrution.
I think you are right Bhudhi. We are seeing that destruction right now.
There are times when I feel strongly that we will destroy humanity before Mother Nature can get her revenge. Either way, it’s not a pretty picture, Opher.
Hi John – good to hear from you. I hope you are well. I miss your blog.
Yes we are a destructive force. We destroy things around us and we destroy ourselves. It is such a great shame.
Thanks, Opher – I appreciate your support. We have made some strides since the ‘60s but we’re running out of time.
We seem to be going backwards at speed at this moment in time.
