Hindsite 2020 - On War

The third phase of Hindsite 2020 contains essays about the problems and perils of Humans today.
Most of them have something to do with making money...

This next essay is about the booming business of warfighting and the psyche that leads to it.

Here is a quote: "... the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country." - Hermann Goring at the Nuremberg trials, 1946.

On War

Why you are here...

For thousands of years Philosophers have been social critics. Many have also had an inciting incident, or social event that spurred them to take up the pen.

I began writing philosophy and social criticism after the date of September 11th, 2001.

All my writing is based upon the following premise, borne of a desire to achieve a maximum possible eudaemonic virtue, via the revelation of a qualitative Authentic Self.

In a postmodern world where technology has created an amalgam intellect, where individuals are simultaneously anonymous and celebrity, where the engineered, yet unwritten social contract demands, more than ever before, we react to the spectacle of hyperreality as part of the day to day mechanics of what it means to live your life, to reveal your Authentic Self requires you Anti-Social Engineer the Hypermanipulated Self.

Also, obviously, it is my intention to help you understand these complicated, profound matters.

Such is it that here at this blog, I can happily blather on and on about the constituents of paradigm, anti-social engineering the hyper-manipulated self, authenticity, the rampant ineptitude of modernity, the self, the history of the self, the domain of morality or nearly any other facet of conscious actualization, up to and including simpler aspects of neurobiology... The unwritten social contract, the control mechanisms of social engineering, hyperreality, psychological manipulation, hypnotism, intentionality, the nature of reality and our perception of it...

In fact, I do...
But now, in 2020, it seems I must also help you transform fear into love. Hang in there...

My main thesis is summarised well in my book Anti-Social Engineering the Hyper-Manipulated Self
by Brian C. Taylor

Everything is breaking down around us and it's our fault. You & I are only partially culpable.
For our actions work only from within an exacting system.
The system itself is flawed, which is scary enough, particularly when one considers that nearly our entire lives are married to it and reliant upon it.
The system will not change itself and the power does not want it changed.
We must change the system by changing ourselves.
We must deprogram.

This is the 21st century Enlightenment.

This is Anti-Social Engineering the Hyper-Manipulated Self,
ISBN: 978-0-557-99909-5 http://stores.lulu.com/postpaper

Chasing philosophers through the ages,
following our own ideas about the self,
to dismantle both himself and modernity,
the author brings in this tiny work,
with candour, wisdom and depth,
a dismantling of thought,
a critique of the species,
a pathway to virtue.

"We are not talking about God here,
nor even the grand scheme of society,
we wonder about ourselves.
By realizing when someone or something asks us to believe in it,
in its intention,
to create some reality out of an idea,
we can begin to wonder about the value of following the rule."

"If modernity is the cause of complexity
and systemic complexity is the cause of the rampant ineptitude that keeps rearing its ugly head,
and we, in our infinite confusion,
attempt only to counter this problem by adding further complexity,
are we not just denying there is even a problem?"

"During the Enlightenment, people woke up from their conscious servitude. In this new Enlightenment we awake from our unconscious servitude."

About the Author

Brian C. Taylor is an author, philosopher, filmmaker and musician.

Founder of Existential Intentionality in Society

Certified Practitioner of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

All Brian Taylor's creative work attempts to use logic and reason to examine his acute humanity, with virtue as his goal.

In this objective honesty, no facet of existence, no act nor thought, can be overlooked. All rabbits must be chased down all holes. Pulling no punches, holding little sacred, he tackles even the most controversial topics of the day: politics, society, religion, war, the economy, nationalism, culture, conspiracy, corporatism, the future, the individual, himself and you.

Brian Taylor is particularly concerned with the hyper-manipulation of modernity toward the apparent goal of overall systemic failure. He seeks the best possible choosing in a world where his choices are made for him, and poorly. His Anti-Social Engineering provides a way to combat the forces that work against our abilities and freedoms as individuals.

Brian has been creating content and blasting it into hyperreality since the 1990s.

Below you can see the Blog Archive, where you will find various essays on various topics. If the essay is numbered, it is meant to be read in order.

There is a lot to absorb and it perpetually grows.
