The World of Facts

This is the world that Science discovered for us. The objective world that exists independently of our human existence, wants, desires, and beliefs.

Its discovery in the 18th Century, was a great relief from the despotic rulers and religious dogmatism then prevalent.

It made possible the Industrial Revolution - that created more wealth than ever before.

It produced liberal democracies - devoted to the welfare of everyone!

But it was too good to last. And people came to hate it intensely.

This change, that had been noticed by everyone - has not been understood by anyone. Because it cannot be understood - but only added to the world of facts.

I put it this way - people can be either constructive or destructive. And the switch from constructive to destructive behavior - can happen quickly.

And once that switch has been made - the world of facts becomes inaccessible.
