Peace Sam,

The other day I was in a used book store and found a book titled something like "How to live single and be happy" published in 1977 with all kinds of advise predicated on technique to gain efficiency at the expense of embracing immoralities. Obviously geared towards women baiting them with falsehood to go against their natural instincts.

On shorter time scales, their incremental methods of propaganda are barely noticeable but over longer periods you can see how much ground they have gained.

100 years ago Annie Besant, the theosophist and her few colleagues were put in jail just for publishing a book endorsing family planning. Today in the West, abortion is as simple as getting your hair done in a salon.

We know about the liberals and their state of delusion but the Right is also mostly limited to being fiscally conservative only and incrementally embracing socially progressive values. Dialectic negation, is that what it is called what JE calls technique?

Technique and technology, under the guise of gaining efficiency, have been ruthlessly used to fast track the satanic agenda.

Keep counselling others to truth and patience. (103:3). God bless.

I would say that the Right is also beholden to Technique. It simply wants an "older" version of it.

I once heard my grandmother tell a story of when she was growing up and experiencing the first TV set how they thought that the devil was inside and responsible for the imagery and sound and I remember finding that amusing and silly but after 30 years later I have begun to see the validity in such an statement... very few will understand what I mean but I assume you might be one of those... peace.

"When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years."

Yes I still jokingly call it "Shaitan's box" sometimes when people mention something to me they saw on TV and believed in it.

We had the radio first, then the TV followed by the video game console. Now we will all soon be in the metaverse creating our own endless pseudo realities kind of like that we saw in the movie Inception. Peace
