General Discussion

absolutely a driver in what's happening to day.

I think of our western unconscious as basically fascist
based on the way our society is formed, with just about
every single facet top down... and both students and
workers thought of as parts of a whole in institutions
that are also top down.

Parenting -- people basically parent top down and
schools reinforce that.

We are just numbers in a kind of human assembly
line... like machines, thought of as parts of awhole
instead of one whole in a holistic world.

I have aligned my thinking with holism since a
very young age. This got reinforced when I learned
what holism was; and I feel like the quantum physicists
just validated my whole life and all the weirdness in it.

This mechanistic view was seriously installed in the
western world by Descartes and his idea of people as
Beast Machines, based on his infatuation with the
hydraulic statues on his estate.

Newton reinforced it more, and then the Industrial
Revolution.

And here we are.
