As you explain it, evil and darkness may not exist, but there is certainly a lot of pressure "out there" trying to ensure that light should be extinguished, too.
I like the words of Alberto Villoldo that "Nothing that has to hide in the shadows has any real power of its own." In other words, the shadows/darkness/evil are powered through the energy/attention/belief that people give them. I think we should not underestimate the extent of the belief in darkness. Also, the discussion of dark things in a way "feeds" the darkness - but talking about it hopefully makes people who will listen aware. What about those who hide their heads in the sand and don't want to hear about it? Your idea?
Yes, on the upcoming CBDCs - how do you suggest we resist, other that by not getting a chip? If dollars are either confiscated or no longer available, the option of saving them and buying land will no longer be available. You are optimistic, and I think that is predicated on people waking up. How do you think individuals can best avoid a chip or being "punished"?
I agree with you, Glenn. I am not German, but was taught to do well whatever I undertake. (That is sometimes a problem, as I tend to be perfectionist). However, critical thinking is immensely important, and it is under attack - both in the schools (I tutor, I can see this happening) and at home by keeping parents so busy with work that they are willing to use "electronic babysitters" and by the addictive distractions such as videogames. We need more connection and community - more people we love with whom to disagree to stimulate independent thinking and more people from whom to learn and teach and more cooperative play outdoors, away from the videogames.
When my mother was growing up, she lived in a (suburban, though it was not called that) neighborhood where everyone knew and interacted with each other. The children were allowed to roam fairly freely, with the prime caveat being to obey the adults in the neighborhood. Sure, there are disadvantages to that, too, but it is good for people to look out for each other. How did we get away from that?
