Q&@
A MODERN SCIENTIST
TO ANCIENT AEGYPT, SHE WOULD NOT
BE ABLE TO SEIZE POWER BY EXPOSING
THE FICTIONS OF THE LOCAL PRIESTS &
LECTURING THE PEASANTS ON EVOLUTION,
RELATIVITY & QUANTUM PHYSICS. Of course,
if our scientist could use her knowledge in order
to produce a few rifles and artillery pieces, she CÓULD gain
a huge advantage over pharaoh and their croco-dile god SOBEK!
Yet in order to mine iron ore, build blast furnaces ÀND manufacture
gun powder, this scientist wóuld need a lot of very hard-working peasants?!
Do you really think she could inspire them by explaining that energy divided by mass
equals the speed of light squared? If you happen to think so, you are welcome to travel to present-day
Afghanistan or Syria and try your luck! Really powerful human organisations - such as pharaonic AeGYPT,
the European empires & the modern school system - are not clear-sighted. Much of their power rests on
their ability to force their fictional beliefs on a submissive reality? Thàt's the whole idea of money, for
example. The government mákes wòrthless pieces of paper, declares them to be valuable, and THÈN
ÚSES thèm to compute the value of everything else! The government hàs the pówer to fòrce citizens
to pay taxes using these shitty pieces of paper, so the citizens have no choice but to get their hands
on at least some of them! Consequently these bills really do become valuable, the government
officials are vindicated in their beliefs, & since the government controls
the issuing of paper money & other suchlike inventions, its power
grows à la Poetin and Trump, to name just two bullies?
If somebody protests that "THESE ARE JUST
WORTHLESS PIECES OF PAPER!",
& behaves as if they are only
pieces of paper, he
won't get very
far in
life.
