@GigiSims10 I think it partly takes a while for things to work their course. The Soviet Union took two full generations and maybe more. *If* it did (Golitsyn thesis is a thing)
and I don't think we can be spared our Solzhenitsyn 'Live by Truth' moments.

@GigiSims10 'Embrace the Horror' as linuxhippie said really does mean to face the Truth we are embracing a horror -- mostly where we are coming from, since the actual Truth is not so bad in comparison to the Sleep of Reason.
@GigiSims10 But the first step towards *real* (authentic, truthful) action is a sober assessment of 'where we are at'.
Partly we don't know: I can't tell you whether the Financial Crisis of 2007 ended with the fatal crisis of 2021/22, or if we will *ever* see a technological world like...

@GigiSims10 ... we think is normal, but is probably gone forever -- as gone as the 20s were in the Great Depression and WW2.

@GigiSims10 I don't even know what /we/ have our hands on here at the moment. I have my own analysis and guesses, but this moment is so much greater than such things I think I'm allowed to doubt them or be wrong.
I do know the level of courage to get through with the Truth in our teeth...

@GigiSims10 ... is on the level of Saint, or Martyr. Even to 'do Science' likely enough -- plenty of scientists were murdered by assorted socialist and national socialist regimes in the 20th century.
@GigiSims10 I'm relatively sure that most people will bargain away all their freedoms and most of their livelihood chasing dreams of the past that will never come to fruition for them.
That's what the first generation after a Great Wave like we are going through always does.

@GigiSims10 'Ideology' will soon be rather thin gruel to feed your family with.
This is an important read: what it was like *living* during the Bolshevik revolution, by a famous author and correspondent with New Age.

@GigiSims10 Herd instinct is generally very sound but there are times that it is not and then rational thought turns out to be worth selling *everything* to attain. Truth is the Pearl of Great Price.
@GigiSims10 We live in a very tight OODA loop[1] with reality -- and are in a dogfight for survival, both as humans and as a (technological) culture. 'This' is much bigger than any one nation.
