Thinkblockers

Those few of you who have gotten out in the field are not ready for another Whitakerism, a simple lesson that should become obvious as you do this: I know a lot of truths I can‘t tell you.

No, it is not Secret Masonic Wisdom. It is precisely the opposite.

As you argue with those who represent today‘s established religion, like those who have argued with each established religion in favor of sense, you find that their only play is defensive blocking. They fight you every inch of the way.

As a result, I am in the position of a scientific thinker of any other age up against today’s priests and their supporters. Can you imagine trying to explain plate tectonics to someone who is still fighting for the proposition that the Bible, analyzed carefully, sets the exact time of the Creation to six thousand years ago?

Well, yes, you KNOW that, but you haven’t THOUGHT about it.

Today, in order to really understand why the drug Provigil is likely to be held up indefinitely or why the penny is likely to keep being minted at a cost of two cents, your mind has to make bit leaps.

And every single leap you would have to make is blocked by the same kind of obstruction the few who push the Mantra get.

I was just watching a documentary I saw and discussed before on The Little Ice Age. One talking head — an Icelander, said that the Vikings in Greenland wouldn’t have starved if they had had the Inuit whale-style hook. He went on to say that, specifically, the Vikings were killed by their own racism.

He said specifically that their fatal error was that they did not intermarry with the Inuits. He laid it all out. When I wrote that here, commenters made fun of me, exactly the same way all Thoughtblockers block every step of the thought I had to take for granted when I did this stuff professionally.

Why did this documentary have that?

I have covered that. The question is why is information produced. Then I discussed how researchers get grants, how great the competition is, and how research is done if it promises to confirm our established religion.

All information produced anywhere includes a lesson in Political Correctness. Almost every BBC piece ends with what I call the Sermon, a wrap-up which puts everything said into the context of Politically Correct history.

But readers here routinely do what everybody does, they let this flow of thought, which is obvious to me, be Thought Blocked. They laugh at a critical step, they let their minds wander into stuff they wanted to say and treat this blog as a place to regurgitate.

So I have the unpleasant experience of watching bugsers act exactly like the Thought blockers they have just finished battling with.

No, what I cannot explain here is not Masonic Knowledge of Deep Secrets. What I cannot say here is a set of quick steps of unblocked thought that could lead you to understand real politics, the stuff I did professionally so well that I did it while being disabled.

Maybe the day will come when someone else will be able to stop dribbling off into recent politics or making a joke or saying the standard stuff and for God’s sake PAY ATTENTION to the long logical procession you need to have in mind.

I just hope that I am still this side of the freezer by the time I find someone like that.
