I am currently on a mortified watch of the Baby Generation’s wholesale drift into senility. It really is quite horrifying, watching it as I am in real time.
BW has said, “All I want before I die is to produce a group of clear thinkers”.
That turns my mind to how extraordinary this small group of participants here are. If you dispute that, you just don’t have a handle on the run of the (deteriorating) minds out there, especially the rapidly “going out of it” minds of the Baby Boomers.
The “Greatest Generation” is already completely “out if it”, the few that are still alive, that is.
In contrast here in this seminar, we have people like Alan B. coming up with these absolutely fabulous phrases such as “Mommy Professor’s talking dolls” and “Complexity obscures the obvious” and AFKAN making comments such as “They draw the lines and then paint within them”, and Mark saying, “Those who own the present own the Future. Those who own the present NEVER have any serious relationship to what is really going to happen”, and BW saying things like, “What creates the future is always little noticed”.
Then there is Mperdling, Hardric, Simmons, Shari, Danebor, Pain and the all the rest, with their wonderful posts, posts of first class minds.
It just doesn’t get any better than this.
Which brings us back BW’s desire, “All I need is to develop a group of clear thinkers before I die”.
There is nothing more important than that, which why BW’s writings and audio are so important.
I see the horrifying process of the Baby Boom generation’s wholesale descent into senility every day. The very nature of senility is that the “aged mind” has no awareness of its own calcification. Now, there are many extraordinary individuals, such as BW, that never go down that road. But the fact is, most do.
“Whomsoever He (God) causes to live long, He reduces to an abject state in constitution”.
As I watch in real time the Baby Boomers wholesale descent into senility, I am truly horrified as to the political implications. These people were victims of the public school system and Mommy Professor to begin with. Most of them think, “With time, progress continues and justice triumphs”. A sentiment perfectly suited to spoiled nitwits, who lived long but know nothing of the real world, a world where the essence of things is the perfect absence of justice, not its presence.
Accordingly, the picture ain’t pretty.

“The aged mind has no awareness of it’s own calcification.” Boy, you got that right. My sister-in-law told me this morning, not to send her anything of this nature. She has spent her life in academia and won’t retire. Says she can’t afford to. I don’t think that she feels desparate to avoid the truth, it’s just not on her radar. Funny though! Her 25yr old son was diagnosed with acute leukemia a year ago. This is a very deadly situation. They flew in a perfect match from Europe for a transplant. His life depends on that working. I’m sure they didn’t find that perfect match from a Pakistani or Nigerian in Europe

A world where the essence of things is the perfect absence of justice, not its presence makes me think of one of C.S.Lewis’s childrens stories The Silver Chair. In it the children are captured underground by the green witch, who fills the air with something noxious while telling the children that there is no Narnia, nor any overworld, that they are in the only world which is real. One of the children rouses himself to say that of hers is the only real world then their made-up one is so much better than her real one. Evil cannot be the only reality.
I don’t think the boomers believe that “with time, progress continues and justice triumphs” la,la. If they ever did, they don’t now, but they are full of poison, and getting weak
