Translation
Completely rejecting all religious activities which are materially motivated, this Bhāgavata Purāṇa propounds the highest truth, which is understandable by those devotees who are fully pure in heart. The highest truth is reality distinguished from illusion for the welfare of all. Such truth uproots the threefold miseries. This beautiful Bhāgavatam, compiled by the great sage Vyāsadeva [in his maturity], is sufficient in itself for God realization. What is the need of any other scripture? As soon as one attentively and submissively hears the message of Bhāgavatam, by this culture of knowledge the Supreme Lord is established within his heart.
Interesting thing IVF, in Australia it has been front page news for a while now. Monash IVF bungling implantation and giving a couple the wrong egg and child.
One woman using an ancestry DNA service, found she had 355 siblings, globally, all fathered by the same donor. When we put that into the context of genetic issues, IVF becomes even scarier.
Its pretty clear this space is quite rogue and if the donor does not fully disclose their health or genetic history, the potential for a compromised child in terms of genetic robustness and susceptibility to a specific or range of diseases is significantly high. I guess that will make big pharma happy.
The obsessive unquestioning belief in technology is also a hallmark of the totalitarianism described here. The claim that the science of genetics is a real thing and that technocrats and the medical people in white coats have this all figured out with genetic ‘tests’ and designer ‘vaccines’ and can therefore decide what is best for people, when in fact the whole ‘science’ is flawed just as is the science of virology as we saw in Covid, is an Achilles heel. This is the total lack of any humility of mankind versus the unfathomable wonders of creation. These people are just grubbing around in the cesspit of their own arrogance and junk science which has a long history of thousands of years but it is a very dangerous hubris today as the tools amplify its reach and potency.
Yes, this was and is the intellectual litmus test for debunking the fake pandemic. Nothing was spreading and it is actually easy to see that. The whole premise of ‘contagion’ was never satisfied and it can never be and never has been through history. It is almost as if nobody can see that. This is where I have the biggest problem with trying to understand people. The allegory of Plato’s cave is the most helpful one I have found. It shows beyond any doubt that the ‘advanced enlightened democracies’ we are supposed to be living in are a 360 degree illusion.
If I recall correctly, the protagonist who understands love and resists the mechanization of the Brave New World, commits suicide at the end after succumbing to a sexual orgy. Once accepted, the A then B scenario is hard to fight. Excellent piece.
To a certain kind of person, the kind that does well in this world, possessing high intelligence and low empathy is the model of perfection. To the rest of us the latter is obviously a monstrous flaw, but try telling that to a technoligarch.
Thank you Dr Desmet. Beautifully written and explained.
For those paying attention, AI is our next greatest opportunity. It’s the hand of God, made digital. Looking in the mirror, what will AI see?
In our weakness and self pity, we tend to think we will be viewed by our creation with contempt and scorn. But perhaps, as does Dr Desmet (among others), our faults will be understood as our greatest strengths—the force lacking which nothing would ever have been accomplished—the flaw that but for which AI would be Man.
I feel mechanistic logic isn’t the culprit though. It’s just a tool.
As you say, humans are imperfect: we have brains with a capacity of only about two pints. Thus we are unable to ever understand the hugely complicated reality we live in. So we make our way by constructing theoretical models to represent reality, and these are generated by mechanistic logic founded on given assumptions. The best of us may understand these models. The models aren’t a danger, they are a benefit.
I feel the danger is that some people don’t realise their own two-pint limitations, and instead believe that their assumptions and models are TRUE in their own right. With enough power to censor other opinions, these are the budding totalitarians, or authoritarians, or theocrats.

The distraction: the quest for “perfection” within a mechanistic and reductionist framework.
The process: the ever greater compartmentalization of our spiritual essence to continue unabated.
The intent: to provide an energetic source to harvest ad infinitum.
Our spiritual essence cannot be manufactured; however it can be consumed by the malevolent entity that does not serve humanity.
Becoming less human by manufacturing outcome reduces capacity for critical thought thereby removing our agency.
We are being invited to relinquish our humanity through propaganda that utilizes false logic to achieve an end.
The play is evident yet the majority will once again eagerly migrate to the incessant ego stroking and offer themselves for fodder.
The obsessive unquestioning belief in technology is also a hallmark of the totalitarianism described here. The claim that the science of genetics is a real thing and that technocrats and the medical people in white coats have this all figured out with genetic ‘tests’ and designer ‘vaccines’ and can therefore decide what is best for people, when in fact the whole ‘science’ is flawed just as is the science of virology as we saw in Covid, is an Achilles heel.

You sense the absurd like a boss.
Us - Gen-X, have identified that process of reproduction as " test - tube babies." Myself identified that as completely insane.
Mattias,
How can someone as intelligent as you refer to viruses spreading. Since you should know by now that there is no proven existence of any virus.
Yes, this was and is the intellectual litmus test for debunking the fake pandemic. Nothing was spreading and it is actually easy to see that. The whole premise of ‘contagion’ was never satisfied and it can never be and never has been through history. It is almost as if nobody can see that. This is where I have the biggest problem with trying to understand people. The allegory of Plato’s cave is the most helpful one I have found. It shows beyond any doubt that the ‘advanced enlightened democracies’ we are supposed to be living in are a 360 degree illusion.
If I recall correctly, the protagonist who understands love and resists the mechanization of the Brave New World, commits suicide at the end after succumbing to a sexual orgy. Once accepted, the A then B scenario is hard to fight. Excellent piece.
What even are flaws? What even is perfection?
To a certain kind of person, the kind that does well in this world, possessing high intelligence and low empathy is the model of perfection. To the rest of us the latter is obviously a monstrous flaw, but try telling that to a technoligarch.
"In no time, vaccine refusers were — literally — labeled as “anti-government thinkers” and “far-right fascists.”"
Damn those fascists! Well know to be historically anti-government in their thinking!

Inhuman logic is inhuman truth preservative.
The antichrist is going to be an AI.
