Decline

by Jaap den Haan Sunday, Jan. 14, 2007 at 10:31 PM

Following

I think that despite all scepsis I' ve got, and the many attempts of character-assassination, I was true. I was, it seems to me, but this is only accepted as true by proof, not so before, (according) to who are in control or we admire, who just seem to be a little bit ahead of one who has no such introduction or doesn't get it, take it, need it or understand it.

Petty and pretty prestige is the disease of a time when people have no intuition.

Unfortunately, good-willing people always present the same standard-slogans in helping others and offering therapy, the most obvious sign of a lack of intuition or risk, an application without self-knowledge, or the vanity that follows a trend to be able to impose it. Many don't even understand the difference between basic qualities like man and woman and still they try to determine how others must live. So any system basically promotes ignorance, and succeeeds unless we have a sufficient and effective amount of humour, which is again impossible without a certain rebellion. Not rebels but often sweet and agreeable people are out to get you all the time, and infringe free will, because they are always, modestly, behind the facts.

The media frequently report facts that were conceived a few dozen or hundred years before, while nobody took notice.

Self-knowledge always resides in that part of us that has no social status, and hence the more adapted people are the more dangerous. For they anticipate and take for granted acceptation before they speak or express themselves. This is seen as social.

Those who don't understand the opportunity of today are the best documentalists of tomorrow, of whom or what they have hiddenly forsaken and how. Those who are in control now, have learnt their history-lessons, although at school. But their success may be based on the decline of a neighbour who has to constantly justify himself, or is demanded to do this. The hypocrisy behind this demand, one has to see through.

The worst crimes are considered to be the best-known crimes.

No, the worst crimes are those that are least known.

This does not mean that who or what is unknown is respectively a criminal or a crime.

Edgar Allan Poe should be understood as a social scientist.

Who is able to distinguish the news from commercials?

One has to be more clear in explaining what is what.

There is too much confusion among the believers.
