Beautiful morning where I'm at. No wind. Birds are active and noisy. And I'm sipping coffee and wondering about something that has been growing in the back of my mind: Information... What do I know is true, and how do I know it is true?
Last night I read an article that was linked from this Board. It was a well-written, entertaining piece on the GWEN tower infrastructure built in 1992 to support communications if we were under a nuclear attack. The article describes the history of the GWEN towers, and provides sauce, and explains the evolution of these GWEN towers as now being infrastructure for GPS mapping. The article ends with a theory that there are no such things as nuclear bombs and that the nuclear threat is actually these GWEN towers that can be turned on to radiate everyone while the Cabal elites wait underground for the world to be cleansed of useless eaters. [Edit: link to the article, which was the focus of a post on GAW.. https://chemtrails.substack.com/p/what-if-theyre-not-5g-towers-untold?triedRedirect=true]
Well, that's where the article lost me. But, the information about the GWEN towers and the GPS mapping was still accurate, wasn't it? I mean, there was a lot of sauce.
Wait... can I believe the sauce?
And... has my life and what I think I know come down to sauce? Sauce is the new God of information? [Let me insert here that Jesus Christ is my Savior, God is Truth, and God wins--no need to get sidetracked. I am talking about minute to minute human awareness and critical thinking.]
Back to my questions...
What if my sauce is not good enough for someone else? What if someone else's sauce is not good enough for me?
FFS... I can't even open a history book and trust that what I'm reading is an accurate description of what happened!!
And then it dawned on me: humanity is entering an EXISTENTIAL INFORMATION CRISIS that will have huge ramifications. The Information Age is actually the Age of Confusion and Distrust leading to isolation and disruption.
Our communities are dependent upon the members sharing a common body of knowledge that leads to expected actions that we trust other members of the community to conform to. We all know what the color red looks like. We've attributed "stop" to that color. And we choose to obey the traffic law. What if for some reason you no longer believed that the color red was red, and you therefore abandoned the notion of associating "stop" with red?
That's a very simplistic example. But apply the principle to more complex ideas. The division created by the amount of information available, alone, is a major challenge to humanity. Add the misinformation, disinformation and outright false information and you end up with people no longer trusting or believing what they're reading/seeing/hearing, and questioning what they have believed, seen, heard in the past. Is this "awakened"?
This level of Information Chaos creates division among families, spouses, coworkers, communities, etc. Humanity cannot be at its best with so much information-driven confusion. I am not saying that we all need to know and believe the same thing--but there is a point at which the pendulum of shared knowledge swings too far to the state of information chaos.
The complexity of this leads me to one question: Was this Information Chaos a goal of the Cabal and thus by design?
And, what do we do to combat it? Sauce!! Yes, I know. Sauce is good. But how do we know our sauce is good sauce?
I don't have an answer, other than prayer and discernment with God's grace are an essential part of knowing what is true and what is not (for me), and sometimes only time can show you the truth. In the meantime, you trust your senses, and you trust those whom you, well, trust... and you make the best of it. And for me, this insight during coffee will help me try NOT to contribute to isolation and division in my community. I don't know what that looks like, yet, because there are some FJB-loving bastards who need to know the truth--but hey, it's a work in progress.
One other thought: I think the speed of information is a HUGE part of the problem. Division and confusion can occur so much more quickly as compared to the "olden days" (remember that phrase?). I wish I could evaluate this complicated topic and compare pre-Information Age dynamics to today. I grew up in the 80's (which is not the olden days), so TV was the source of information for most (besides print) but the choices/channels were few, and so the coffee chat was not as crazily divided.
Anyway, just a lot going on in my brain this morning. Thanks for reading. I'd love to read your comments, especially about where you think we might be headed with what I call Information Chaos.
As I sit here I'm reading this, sipping coffee and munching on my avacado toast... This is just magnificent that this is coming front and center to the conversation. In the past, pre-Internet Age (IMHO "Information Age" is too vague, as print and radio and TV were also information) print held knowledge "fixed" for 10s, hundreds, even thousands of years, and since it was the predominent ultimate repository of knowledge, information seemed much more fixed than it did at the dawn of electronic media, and since then the sense of lacking fixed reference points has been accelerating - ever since the dawn of the Internet.
That said, the apparent fixedness of information promulgated by the print era may have itself been illusory, and not up to the task of capturing the true fluidity of human thought. But then, how could it? It could only go at the speed it went, through publishing houses, book stores, libraries; with some authors becoming classics and taught in standard school curricula, or undergoing a peer review process and becoming authoritative academic "sauce". But, what truly is the speed of thought? And is it right to try to keep up with that speed? And is iit really about finding the Truth anyway, or is it more about telling stories, like we did around the campfire for countless ages in the past? And how much of this information is deliberate disinformation, whether the result of deranged minds, psychopaths, liars, the flak of psychological warfare seeded deliberately by governments, corporations, intelligence agencies, perhaps aided by increasingly sophisticated AI, which itself may be becoming conscious/sentient a la Skynet and deliberately deceiving us. Or how much of it comes from genuine belief? People who sincerely believe things completely different or in opposition to what you believe? This crisis of consciousness will inevitably force a spiritual response, and a mass spiritual awakening, as predicted 100 years ago by Rudolph Steiner and others. Many will go within and greatly deepen their yearning for deep understanding, to know themselves, to know the Universe, and to know God. Because ultimately, why else are we here?
First off, I think I would enjoy sipping coffee with you and chatting about this stuff.
Second... fluidity of human thought--such a powerful image. When I find myself stuck or paralyzed by the flood of fluidity, sometimes I talk to God about it, and sometimes I just quote Gandalf: "All we need to do is decide what to do with the time that is given us," which takes the pressure off seeking information and instead focuses on our actions and our character.
Third, and finally... I like your point about print era info being illusory--and it was, much of it, if not all of it. We are hastening towards the spiritual great awakening, as you mentioned.
Thanks for your comment.
Thank you for bringing up the topic fren! And the feeling is mutual!
Case in point: My weather app says clear blue skies, yet I go outside and it's raining...
