Today the subject of consumerism kept popping up. I keep thinking about how circular time is and it seems that throughout history there’s always the examples of great civilizations that meet their demise as soon as the society gets too decadent. Greece, Rome, Roaring Twenties. Good times make weak men etc
But why is that? Consumerism is what the DS uses to hypnotize people, to make them not care about the society they live in, not pay attention to the changes going on around them because they’re too busy caring about themselves.
The more you watch YouTube, the more you start consuming bc these YouTuber reviewers start helping you imagine situations you would be using said items and that’s the thought seed that gets you going and thinking “yea that would be a nice thing to have in case that happens”. Next thing you know you’re obsessed with the item. You’re thinking about it morning, noon and night. Consume consume consume. The average person who is susceptible to this hypnosis is spending his time either working to get the money to buy the thing he wants or spending his time finding the next thing to buy. Where is the time to give a shit about politics? As long as their life is not affected, they won’t unplug.
But a society must reach a certain level of prosperity before consumerism can take place. If society is at a level where you don’t even know if you’ll have a next meal, you wont care about much else and will be very involved in government to demand change.
Therefore the best point to maintain control of a society is to make sure the people have enough money to eat have a place to live and have some spending money. It’s much easier to distract people when they have some money to spend and we’re not talking a whole lot of money just needs to be slightly over “barely surviving”.
Now, you control the media/social media and you basically tell your stars what’s the next big thing for them to focus on.
The extreme preaning of men / feminization of men has happened prior to a civilizations down fall (Greek men and young boys as lovers, Men in drag in the Weimar Republic.
Narcissism also is high in a society before it’s downfall.
Sorry if it’s not very coherent. Just wanted to jot down some random thoughts. I’m sure this isn’t news to anyone but I guess I just never took the time to dissect out all these ideas.
Yes but what made me think timewave zero was onto something, is the fact that he identified a measurable, predictable pattern that seemed to be on a timeline that followed the spiral. That's the part I'd love to explore more. Also no one knew what the whole 2012 thing was supposed to mean anyway so everyone imagined some sort of apocalyptical moment, but what if it just meant we would be leaving our normal world and entering clown world around that time and no one would notice the transition lol, one could imagine! ;)
I have a hard time with the man myself, don't really like listening to him ramble, but timewave zero was always fascinating to me.
Yes…and supposedly a computer model was developed to further analyze major events as to where they fall on the spiral. Nothing more was stated about that. My take on 2012 was us entering into Aquarius…was it a trans-dimensional shift that could account for “Mandela Effects”? It obviously was a shift towards the Great Awakening as we’re experiencing now. Fascinating stuff 👍🏽
But where would the time start and end? What would be the reason for repeating and how with a different set of people, changed behaviors, etc would it exactly repeat over and over? I have never heard of this gentleman before or this timewave zero but will look into it before forming an opinion either way.
This theory is new to me too but some of the concepts seem to overlap with certain religions and philosophers. The beginning and the end part is similar to the universal conundrum of the chicken or the egg. Hopefully we’ll find out one day. The repeating part reminds me of reincarnations in Buddhism or more “new age past lives”. Perhaps our souls need more than a few lifetimes to “evolve” and “refine” into a more pure state.
