The New Renaissance
The rebirth of critical thought without a permit, license, certificate or degree
Suzanne Humphries on Rogan, regardless what you think of him is a clear sign of a new renaissance. We were never so much in the age of information as we are today. Even before the fact checks and the suppression of discordant thoughts, what we had was people's old, outdated, unenlightened thoughts on matters of health, self-censoring new, better supported ideas out of a desire to be in agreement with the consensus of academia and popular cultural figures.
In a way, suppressing things to the extent done in recent years was clearly part of this awakening. During and after Covid, we saw most of the ideas suppressed turned out to be accurate, leaving the viewer of social media, the new 4th estate to ask, "What about the other things we assumed?" and "What about the other information that has been laughed at, belittled and suppressed? How relevant was that?" More importantly, “why did I trust this or that authority figure who was not only wrong, but in the light of debate was embarrassingly ignorant?”
For reference, here’s Neil getting unscientific and called out during his appeal to the scientific method on the Highwire. https://thehighwire.com/ark-videos/del-debates-neil-degrasse-tyson/
Obviously this leads to more questions and concerns about untold or misrepresented history. People are asking, "What's all this about the Holocaust, Churchill, what books did the Nazi's burn?" Here I will link to the man asking these questions before it was allowed to be broadcast on Rogan and Carlson. It’s a 5 hour documentary, so to think or not to think, that is the question. https://rumble.com/v58vxmt-the-empire-unmasked-by-ryan-dawson-complete-documentary-5h-3m.html
We are entering a new age of rebirth, a new age of knowledge no longer suppressed by the modern churches of media, scientism and academia and questioning the group of people, the religious authorities of our day who run all these groups. The elite holders of sacred knowledge are on trial of public opinion. Court is now in session.
While there are as Ryan Dawson calls it, “the kooks” running around still in all this, with more outlandish and less established ideas and their charlatans of so-called knowledge few as they are held up amongst the duller and less inquisitive among us, we still see the light emerging. These niche circles of grifted apologists may still see or report nothing but doom. I think it's the writing on the wall for these few. Truly nothing but doom awaits their leaders as the truth gets sussed out. The limited questions they ask will be addressed, the limits will be tested and fail as many of us already understand. The grifters who peddle nonsense will fall away with the elite. The common man will once again trust himself to read and understand what he is reading. The world is about to get better and brighter. We are about to see a shift as people start to acknowledge once again their own ability to think for themselves.
My children and I have been studying the earlier rebirths: the coming of Christ, the time of Plato and Aristotle questioning long held institutional and spiritual traditions gone wrong, the great thinkers of the age, then later the renaissance period and how the printing of books lead to people challenging the church and its ordained figures of authority (spiritual and political) once again, which lead people to challenge the agents given their authority by the church. Today, we have all known knowledge in the palm of our hands and, as I explained to my kids, there is yet a new hurdle to overcome.
Can man trust himself to decipher all the knowledge we have today? We have been taught that without certain pieces of paper attesting to our scholarly abilities, from a few institutions who were duped to go along with a silly Covid experiment and it's most ridiculous religious rites, we aren’t up to the task. Now, these halls of academia are no longer so hallowed. We sort through the rubble of how to teach and learn critical thought and even more important, how to live with uncertainty, the ultimate test of higher understanding: to grapple with the weight of owning that with all we know, how many questions are not answered, not wrapped up in a bow of cognitive dissonance or confirmation bias.
America seems to be at the forefront of this intellectual rebirth and spiritual rebirth. It's a good time to be alive and to be American. Good to see how the severe darkness of Covid or of the self censored dulling of the past hundred years of those who lord over media and academia is finally being scrutinized. As we come closer and closer to the 100 year anniversary of the end of Weimar, the dawn of WWII and after 100 years of intense suppression of facts and figures and the shadow of doubt cast over the innate human ability to think for oneself, the whole world is beginning to see the light.
The Delphi Conscriptions in short: know thyself, everything in moderation and certainty leads to ruin.
Are you up for the task?
