Audio and link to the
folder
And a brief synopsis.
Cluster B Society
Discussion of living in the age of a Cluster B society, which is marked by hysteria, emotional outbreaks, violence and outright chaos. We see rampant narcissism, self-entitlement, feelings of resentment, moral self-righteousness, Borderline Personality Disorder, unstable sense of identity, feelings of emptiness, self harm, suicidal-ideation, histrionic/excessive emotionality, sexual provocation, excessive need for sympathy and suicidal-ideation as becoming more common - Wokeism - and this is a progression that was intended.
Deriving from Post-Modern philosophy and philosophers like Deridault and Foucault, the above is partly a by-product of radical leftist ideology that has brought with it transgenderism, destruction of the nuclear family, sexualization of children via acceptance of pedophilia, etc. In the school system, there is the isolation between children and parents brought on by the State/public school system. Parents have an instinct to want their children to be safe and have a healthy education, but instead, ideologues who predominantly don't have children and wouldn't know how to raise them if they did, want the say in how children are raised.
There are also private equity firms like Blackrock trying to buy up land (to what end?) and companies like Disney and Bud Light who incorporate this ideology are losing money because of it. Dylan Mulvaney ad campaign and Disney's feminist agenda.
Character assassination campaigns happen against anyone speaking out against the current insanity with Russell Brand being the latest person 'crucified' in the media. He has a lot of people who follow his work, which is a good sign as more and more people are waking up and not believing the lies. This is probably why he's been targeted, but still, more people need to become wake up in order to create a solid resistance. It's only a small, loud minority pushing this pathological ideology.
Ch 6: Logocracy
Mainly focuses on the necessity of a proper selection criteria for the Elite, who are a necessary component for any society, but because there are too many advantages provided to them, they eventually degenerate. So having a robust way to vet who is put into positions of power and responsibility is vitally important. European antiquity and philosophies in the East have discussed what to expect of rulers, but have lacked the psychological knowledge to implement this properly over time.
Lobaczewski suggests combining objective scientific principles and knowledge, along with age-old moral values and an understanding of human psychology as all being needed for such a method to be devised and implemented effectively. We need reliable and well-prepared people that actually care about the common people, and who are not ruled by emotional and selfish interests.
Christianity as we know it is flawed, but Orthodox principles have some value and is relatively grounded, but if the values are not lived by a leader, then what they say is not congruent and won't appeal to the masses as a guiding force. Good leaders in the past have been assassinated, such as JFK and RFK who weren't surrounded by enough trustworthy people.
Trying to come up with a macrosocial application to this would be difficult, so it would be better to focus on small communities and progress from there. Functional human beings may be good in one area but not others, and so building a solid team and working with people's strengths and where they would be most useful is equally important.
Finally, a quote from the chapter: "Consideration of this problem in the light of objective psychological knowledge also leads to the conclusion that it is practically impossible to establish some kind of psychological institute which would make the necessary selections, selecting righteous and suitably gifted individuals from society. On the contrary, this process of the growth of such individuals into leadership roles must be integrated into the whole machinery of the system and work as naturally as possible. Therefore, this aspect has been included in all the proposed devices of the new polity so that it triggers natural processes and actualizes social reason in this field. The council of the wise, already mentioned, would only patronize this process, realizing also the principle of the rule of the normal man.”
