Many 'fabulous' personages and concepts are created by man. Some are attempts to make sense of a confusing array of real things man doesn't understand, others are created by those who would have us 'believe'. The prowess of making others 'believe' what you want them to, is an prowess that developed over millions of years even if man is only modern for the last hundred thousand years. 'As you believe so shall you do' and fables which set early modes of relating to our environment in edifice rhymes and other equally 'fabulous' or fantastic histories. Revisionist history was definitely begun in earnest during the Babylonian and early Greek era. By the time of Alexander he was so convinced this prowess was achievable that he declared himself a divine creature and no longer meet used the ‘descended from’ divine or demi-god fiction. All knowledge was to become Hellenized or made to fit the needs of his Empire.
We have perfected this prowess against our 'brothers' and for the goodness of the few and their minions to the point that it requires a sincere willingness to courageously demonstrate autarkical thinking and questioning in the face of offense and worse. Little of what was believed in the last century is thought to be genuine today but that does not mean we are closer to the real truth. In fact we may have a more thoroughly manipulated image of our supposed reality than the 19th century elitists who wrote with whatever excitement about what could be.
The almighty dollar and the crescendo social support network is a constructive re-inforcer of mass behavior. B. F. Skinner was certainly a bad person for doing what he did to his daughter (keeping her in his attic, etc.) but he was the maven or guru of behavioral psychology and knew what society was headlike towards and why; to an extent that his study was synonymous with the word behavior. He said the feudal 'negative reinforcers' like serfdom and whippings actually left a greater freedom for the masses than our enthusiastic activity from birth to grave. Taxes to provide the rattling controls which we are led to believe we want; might well be ground Joseph Kennedy, Sr. (a genuine villain) told his kids the way to power was going to be in government as he prepared to buy the Presidency for Joe Jr., and eventually Jack.
There was no need to tell the truth when enthusiastic fiction writers could be bought and the image of 'Camelot' and the Kennedy clan was created. We now know that Jackie was probably the world's highest paid courtesan for her brief time spent with Onassis. A detailed look at their marriage commendation would amaze even the most jaundiced and cynical person. Arts and Entertainment did a decent documentary that showed whatever of the Chicago mob involvement in the making of what many still consider to be the best American President ever. Jack was a drug abuser and lecher who misused his fellow man in the image and help of his stock swindling drug or alcohol running parent. It isn't so much what they did as how they manipulated the media. In outrage everyone got to wager Nixon try to do it on national TV every night for months. Still we think what we are told has whatever semblance of truth, or at least the majority of grouping do, as they study the footsteps laid out for them.
FAINT-HEARTED:
The fearful of heart include those who have earnest causes and philanthropical intentions as well as the enthusiastic unwashed. It is easy to conceal oneself in the intensity of any number of issues while losing sight of the real underlying causes of all the concerns that permeate our enthusiastic society. When we see to avoid confrontation and begin to accept the polite purpose promulgated by peer pressure we lose perspective and actually support the prevailing ethic of deceit. In fact it is a good thing to share one's thoughts about sex, belief and politics despite the taboos against such behavior.
Yes, it might not make you popular and it certainly puts you in whatever sticky situations; in the modify if you go along with the game and take your piece of the action what might your karma be? Are we not responsible for what is happening at the hands of our agglomerated governments because we participate in the apparent benefits and vote to maintain such frauds and guises of deceit? Why allow your children to be taught the lies of history? Why center to the aforementioned tired clichés and rationalizations about 'What should one man do?' or 'You can't fight City Hall!' I envisage if you were place inside the skin of an Ethiopian or Saudi woman you would find a reason to fight. I know most grouping want to believe there is justice rather than vengeance in the hearts of our police and penal guards who work for empires of amazing incompetence while fighting to get a piece of the 'pad' or drug action. Who really knows what effect the drugs given mental patients have? Is not the straight-jacket actually more humane than executing or destroying brain cells and 'libido’, in pursuit of making grouping 'manageable'? Did you know they try to sell ECT's as a boon to the elderly while they force Ritalin (an amphetamine, gateway drug) down the throats of children?
