Last week the Think Local festival in Ireland was canceled. I was one of the speakers. Apparently, the organizers were extremists. Please listen to this conference - do you hear extremists speaking? Or is the cancellation a manifestation of the intolerance of our ‘inclusive’ society?
how is it that hate speech bills are being lined up in every western country in lockstep...a disinformation/misinformation bill is about to go before parliament here in Australia...why would all western so called democracies in lockstep try to shut down speech?? What are they trying to stop? Opposition to lockstep social engineering and behavioural modification programs rolled out everywhere...maybe
All the characteristics of the classical narcissist. RAGES, Bullying, Gaslighting, Self-Indulgence, Shallow-Empathy, Shallow-Insight, Attention Seeking, Damaging Impact on Everyone. On and on, the list is very long and accurate. People need to stop and take note of who these people are & the pain they inflict. And then contain them before they damage more people and freedoms
The BBC Today programme runs this story: Members of the Uyghur community in UK are being pursued by the Chinese State who insist they spy on and report back to the CCP on other members of their community who maybe involved in political activity. If they fail to report back their families back home will be threatened and endangered. (Coming to a locality near you?)
Think Local. I like that name. Some of these problems are caused by enlargement of society which has lead to increased mobility. In some ways, such movement for specialization might have lead to improved quality/quantity of goods and services, but at the same time has decreased quality of life in other ways. Community cannot sustain itself if people are constantly shuffling around to be placed in more efficient positions for production of goods and services.
It seem to me that this era people especially in the West pretend to be civilised and educated yet they see others like refugees, the mentally ill, the vulnerable as not humans instead of striving for togetherness and love regardless of ethnicity, colour, background, religion or culture. One day they will wake up when it's late:) and realise that Cuba, Venezuela, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Syria, the boat people and the vulnerable are not the enemy, the enemy is their own government, politicians and intelligent services!
It was such a pleasure to meet you again. Your calm level tone in the delivery of your message was refreshing in a world where everyone is shouting louder to be heard. You are totally right - the truth does not need to be loud. Thank you so much for all that you do. I look forward to your next book!
Dr Desmet, 'thinking locally' is 180 degree out of phase with the globalist hive mind. This is the mindset of the end of the age as the bible speaks of. I applaud your work and to encourage you to carry on this work, but have great apprehension that this train can be turned around by the hand and work of man. I believe we have crossed over the rubicon and only Christ Jesus is going to be able to save us. God bless you.
Attempting to derail what? I don't know how you interpreted my comment. I do know what I wrote and that is that we need to take responsibility for the mess that we helped creating.
When you say that this can't be turned around and that we need external help then that sounds to me like an excuse to not take 1) responsibility and 2) action...
‘Derail’ derail the globalists plans. Not inaction, just sayn this is partly a problem that is an ideology that has a spiritual foundation( ie. satanic). You will not be able to fight this in power of man. As a christian I believe It requires both/and. Look at live of Dietrich Bohnhoeffer and others in Germany like Sophie Scholl. Bohnhoeffer realized it took both sides of the coin to affect change in nazi germany. He did not live to see it. He was a man of prayer and action.
Ironnically, as is so often the case cancelling events like these only proofs the existence of mass formation and rising totalitarianism. It only proofs the extreme and even still increasing intollerance of the (selfproclaimed) tollerant left. It proofs their absence of the hunger for truth, their absence of critical thinking. The masses have a need, even a hunger, to conform to the communis opinio and subject themselves to (self)sensorship. As a species we are regressing to more facist, totalitarian world were old fashioned values like truth, honesty, decency, merrit etc. are out the window. Its an almost unbearable world for free thinking people.

Jean, the pressure of evil we are facing cannot comprehend the value of truth but only what is required as a means to an end. They honestly dont care about honest intellectual debate because truth is not on their side.
Mattias, I agree with you but only up to a point. A large portion of population on the left is incapable of free thinking or any type of reasoning. It's been my experience that these people are trapped in their own paranoid world, where everyone is a conspiracy theorist and is after them. Truth and reality doesn't resonate with them, I have never seen anything like it except under socialism. The difference is under socialism there were only few true believers, today people on the left, mostly, actually believe in their distorted reality.
The left is quite dogmatic. Jumps to conclusions. Mistakes the map (ideology) for the territory (real life). Prefers coherent systems to reality. Hmmm.... these traits are found to be aligned to how the left hemisphere of the brain sees the world, as opposed to a more balanced view of both the right and left hemispheres.
I would like to direct attention to the work of Iain McGilchrist, who has written and spoken extensively on this topic. I believe he is on to something. Here is an excellent interview with him called "we live in a deluded world" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4IeuIg9nGY
He's written two books, The Master and His Emissary, and The Matter With Things. I'm in the middle of the first one. His thesis is that over the past couple centuries, the west has had the left brain's view of the world take over, shutting out the right brain.
The left brain's view of the world is mechanistic, grasping, about power, breaking things into their disparate parts while unable to see how the whole is not the sum of the parts. The left brain wants to freeze things, it cannot accept that things change and flow. It must have things in stasis, flayed out, and picked apart and will believe that and deny the reality of things as they actually are.
Ideologies. Bureaucracies. The mechanistic view of science. Rules and regulations. Fitting people into boxes like identities. Humanity can be understood through fact, figures, and statistics. Scientific socialism. Control. The panopticon. Propaganda. Words over reality.
Mass formation. These are all products of the left hemisphere of the brain, acting without the right hemisphere.
I'm sorry if I am not explaining it well. Listen to what McGilchrist has to say. He'll explain it better. But the description of the left brain, and its delusions is so spot on to the way people think now that it struck me immediately as something important to understand.

Good work. I am grateful for your voices.

Intolerance of the inclusive society, jip, maybe both.
It's complete anarchy when a very small number of people is able to disrupt! Woke is over the top! Let's get back to normal and stop wokism.
Here is a really good article elaborating on Dr. Desmet's thesis:

It's up to us. Time to grow up as a society and to fix our problems like an adult instead of waiting for a saviour.
Good luck attempting to derail it. I will be so bold to say that at the end of life you will meet The Saviour for good or for ill.

Actually, they believe a delusion. ;-)
Reality can't be distorted, per say, otherwise it wouldn't be reality.
It's an abstract that's difficult to grasp instantly because of all the delusional teaching.
There can be only one reality or reality doesn't "really" exist. Like truth, it is pure.
RFK Jr says exactly the same thing. Speak your truth quietly but firmly. Avoid the tub—thumpers, they aren’t listening.
