They Are Part of a New Reality

There is a new outlook in America, and it contrasts sharply with the Scientific outlook that was once dominant. They hate Science, because it is too limiting. They believe, they can believe whatever they want - and whatever they believe, is the way it is!

In a way, they are right - and in another way, they are wrong. There are different classes of reality, and they should be clear, which one they are talking about. But they are not. They insist, there is one reality - and it is the one they believe in.

This would be acceptable, if they knew what they believed in, but they don't. They insist on not knowing - and at the same time, believe they do know, and know completely. To put this another way: in their minds, not knowing is the same as knowing - and even better, because they can believe whatever they want.

I must be more explicit, and describe actual beliefs. One of these, is the belief in Progress. The American, who parks his car in a Shopping Center, and then walks in, to view all the wonders on display - is a firm believer in Progress. And believes it is there to benefit him (or her).

They do not want to know, that this affluence is threatened, and is disappearing. They are certain it will last forever, and anyone who says differently, should be dealt with severely!

To put this yet another way - they know something else is in control, and it is responsible for what is going on - and not them. They can grab whatever they want, and not worry about anyone else.
