A Modern Tower of Babel

A Modern

Tower of Babel

From the beginning man has been searching for the Fountain of Youth to end all problems, and all suffering, and become immortal. They take on all different forms. The one going on now has become beyond absurd.

The Democrat platform has been being completely overturned as Republicans took over in January but this Republicanism is not anything like what it's been.

As we follow the news we are now watching three worldviews, or ideologies, or eschatologies, at work changing America and the world. It's very much like a 3-ringed circus. In the context of slang, 'circus' typically refers to a situation that is riotously entertaining, frenzied, chaotic, disorganized, or absurd, often with a lot of attention and commotion. The clowns in the circus are acting unpredictably and foolishly or stupidly similar to a real circus. Only many in the audience are not laughing. They aren't fools. They can see the danger ahead. Like to the Titanic hitting the iceberg, America that seems too big and strong to be destroyed has hit its form of an iceberg and it is breaking apart at its core.

The first ring has the TESCREAL ideologies and Tech Bros who more or less believe, not all being exactly on the same page, that there is a threat of extinction and we have the moral imperative to, above everything else, financially support and advance the technology, some would say specifically AI technology, that is going to fix all of of mankind's problems, creating transhumans with bionic implants that give them super-brains living in a near utopian condition. These Silicon Valley ideologies are being embraced by wealthy elites who use these beliefs to justify concentrating resources on a speculative future at the expense of today's poor and suffering. In the name of transhuman, they become subhuman.

There is both good and bad in all 3 Circus rings. Sam Altman is the CEO of OpenAI. There is an app called Blinkest that has the key ideas from the best books for building a Tower of Babel. The first book on his list is about the meaning of life, which is actually the meaning of suffering, that results in doing the right thing in your personal life and in the work place for the benefit of yourself and everyone, showing love towards everyone, and everyone reaching the goal of being happy. The author of the first book is Viktor Frankl was a prominent psychiatrist and neurologist who was arrested and taken to a Nazi concentration camp where he observed that the people who lived or died came down to one thing. A meaning to what was going on outside of themselves. It wasn't the strong who survived but the "men who walked around through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread." In the work place this meant the focus was not on making money. Work had to be humanized to thrive.

This is a very good goal but it's not going to work. Trump and the shadow Presidents are not going to read the first book and humanize the government work place and give bread to the poor. Putin is not going to read the first book and humanize his work place and give bread to the poor. Xi Jinping is in not going to humanize his work place and give bread to the poor.

“We are now living through the most destructive arms race in human history, because this time it includes artificial intelligence,” Zelensky said. “Companies are already working on drones that can shoot down other drones, and it’s only a matter of time -- not much -- before drones are fighting drones, attacking critical infrastructure and attacking people all by themselves – fully autonomous and no human involved except the few who control AI system."

In the second ring we have The Christian Heritage Foundation and other like groups who believe Christian Nationalism, a nation under Biblical laws, is the way to solve the problems and prosper, which began with overturning Roe vs Wade, and right at the moment, the removal of the Department of Education which has been in control over all education, along with all the other departments that have been a part of a non-Biblical big government. The Christians who voted for Trump wanted the Democratic agenda that went overboard changed. And now they are drinking the cool aid, only willing to believe a distorted version of reality that is paving the way for autocracy, and turning a blind eye to the very bad things the powerful elites are doing. Ironically and tragically as they have only been willing to listen to those who are drinking the cool aid, all standing behind their changed government as the new leaders divert money and power to their agendas, and monstrously mistreat the marginalized, the sick and the poor, the weak and the homeless, and imprison and deport immigrants. That part of the Bible has been put in the closet.

That leads us to the third ring of the circus which is the scene of Trump and his personal image agenda, white supremacist and fascist agendas in a long list of criminal agendas that are the opposite of protecting America and the opposite of making America great. These has involved the removing of large portions of the US government, making huge moves politically and socially, and lining his pockets with vast wealth - which includes transforming the historic White House into a tacky image of wealth, which is the beginning of changing all of Washington D.C. into a Trumpland - all moving so fast that no laws or courts and even Congress can stop him. One of the first things on his list was to wipe his criminal slate clean so there will never be a threat of going to jail ever again and he's changing the laws concerning what a president is allowed or not allowed to do so that he can do anything he wants and if anyone gets in his way he will order the military to remove them. He is going to want laws that no one will be allowed to speak negatively about him. All of this is right out of the fascist's playbook. He's talking out of both sides of his mouth, changing his mind from one extreme to the other, keeping everyone on shaky ground not knowing what dramatic huge thing he'll do next as he tears this country apart. Part of the DOGE removal of departments ane people of the federal government, was Elon Musk taking down the internet US security walls and now all personal data is available to AI for Trump to locate the people who oppose him in any way. The Christians who voted for Trump making all this possible are going to wake up to living in an autocratic country with no freedom of speech, and being controlled and policed like never before in history because of AI and living in great fear of having their life taken away - their reputation, their finances, their cell phone's and their computer's access to the internet - by AI if they do anything that goes against the new laws of leaders, now with unimaginable power, will have set up. And if that's not bad enough, everything on the internet is now available to the cyberwarfare agendas of Russia and China who now potentially can disrupt critical infrastructure like power grids and military systems causing serious physical and economic damage. And the people who had the expertise to deal with this have all been replaced with MAGA people who have no idea how to deal with it.

The Democrats took their agendas too far. Civil rights laws, particularly abortion, the woke agenda, LGBTQYA+, and criminals' rights - all these laws evolved to the point of insanity. The environmentalists' agendas went too far. Welfare went too far. Gun laws went too far. Under the recent Democrat leaders, these all ended up with ridiculous results that were unfair and made things worse. Change was definitely needed. Working on fixing those mistakes was good but as this was being done we can see that the promise of these changes was the sheep's clothing of a wolf to make Christians happy so they would support him believing all the changes happening now are okay. Christians are being played by the devil and his legion of fallen angels who are working to spread hell over America which is extending to the world because we have a global economy and we are tied together in every way through technology. The Democrats blew it but this isn't just change that is undoing what they did, and definitely not what the voters who put Trump back in the White House were asking for.

MAGA is now swinging us way too far into a new, uncharted, unprecedented, very precarious and dangerous direction. The new leaders running the government are not qualified to create and run a sustainable government after they take it all down or they wouldn't be taking it all down. They needed to know up front what was good and what was bad about all the departments and what needed to stay and who needed to stay. They needed to know what the load-bearing walls are, both the departments and the people in those departments that are critical to the structural integrity of the government. In their ignorance they are throwing out the baby with the bathwater. They are removing the load-bearing walls they didn't know were load-bearing walls that became very experienced, sophisticated and well oiled over decades and then results of having done this will take place and then they will try to quickly put these back in place as they were which would be as impossible as gluing back a completely smashed porcelain vase whose pieces are spread everywhere and down into cracks in the floor. When we stop having enough food, not even a farm can be quickly put back together to where it was after its workers were sent back to Mexico and it closed down. And there was a department in the government that monitors the weather that was connected through satellites to watering equipment on farms that automatically go where they need to go based on the data coming out of that department. Trump announced that this government department was part of the Democrats environmentalism and global warming and has had it shut down and the satellites destroyed.

What's happening to America now is completely insane. But only the few who have been personally affected by it or who are awake and paying attention are seeing what is happening. While the many, most Americans, are going about their lives asleep. It's understandable. Who could have imagined this would be really happening. They aren't going to believe the changes will be resulting in huge problems until it affects them just like the passengers on the Titanic not believing hitting an iceberg would do what it did. If things keep going the way they are, it's just a matter of time, as the ship moves deeper into the iceberg, that it crosses a line and there's no going back - just a matter of time before it's clear the TESCREAL ideologies failed, Christian Nationalism failed, and MAGA failed and everyone sees the destruction all over the news, and knows that this once incredibly strong, technologically sophisticated and amazing country is sinking.

These 3 views of the future, these agendas that are in play to create the future, these modern attempts at a Tower of Babel to reach these people's image of heaven, aren't how the ideal life comes into being. A global dark night of the soul, which is a natural scientific leap in mankind's evolution that is in our human genes, is how we move past being mortal humans and all our problems are solved. And Heaven coming down to Earth is how we move past hell whose gates have opened and the monster and its cohorts released for a season.
