Question

In the present heyday of left and right lobby groups, social justice activism and previously acceptable campaign groups like Greenpeace saying freedom and democracy should be cancelled in order to help the environment, combined with how the state enables them all as long as they support the heirarchy, it reminds me of this quote:

"The gods do not protect fools. Fools are protected by more capable fools." (Larry Niven, Ringworld).

What do you think?

Answer 1

Reminds me of the old axiom "A wise man is wise because he knows he's a fool and a fool is a fool because he thinks himself wise"
Shakespeare has another version but I always liked this one more

Answer 2

Humans are intrinsically moral. We all think in terms of right and wrong, good and evil. The problem is we've divorced ourselves from any trancendant definition of good or evil. The prophets of Greenpeace, as morally relativistic as any, denounce any dissenter to their gospel as selfishly evil.

Once you step away from transcendent definitions of moral values, morality becomes a wilderness of mirrors. Or, as Paul wrote in his letter to the Roman, "Professing themselves wise, they became fools..."

Answer 3

Obama ( or whoever pulls his strings) created this model. Democrats don’t actually solve problems (republicans and pragmatists like Trump have that covered). So they invent issues that are outside the purview of the Federal government. Six corporations that own media work with them to exploit fear and divide us for profit.

Answer 4

Just finished reading the book Militant Normals by Kurt Schilchter. While it is primarily about how the "normals" elected DJT, it commits significant time to discussing the idea of the "elites" and the institutions they control. Not surprisingly, all these institutions support the interests of the "elites", or hierarchy as you put it.

Answer 5

The greatest weapon the ruling class has is the ignorance of the masses. The ever-widening rift between the “left” and “right” is ample evidence of the sage advice to ‘divide and conquer “

Answer 6

If it were not for the company of fools, a witty man would often be greatly at a loss
