Definitely in the modern world, people are encouraged to think that all a person has is given by the System of the world, rather than being intrinsic to the person. <br /><br />This post and the comments: https://briefoutlines.blogspot.com/2021/02/the-difference-between-model-and-reality.html <br /><br />highlights that, in talking about manufacturing cars as part of a system vs manufacturing as a craftsman. <br />No Longer Readinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12716199759491512542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8143976828657199217.post-55566704770036131302021-03-09T03:58:38.791-08:002021-03-09T03:58:38.791-08:00Very interesting line of thought.

It seems that the modern institution is narcissism on the group-scale. <br /><br />An individual narcissist uses deception, charisma, self-delusion, and psychological warfare to cultivate the illusion that they are omniscient, omnipotent, beyond all criticism etc. <br /><br />All modern organizations and institutions do the same thing - take a bunch of mere humans, stick them inside a façade of omniscience and omnipotence, then pretend that their rule is "objective" and "scientific." This might be the reason that social systems seem to be intrinsically of Satan, why the great system of the world is demonic. The structure itself is a deception, a means by which groups of mere humans claim to be more than they really are.Epimetheushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00544393899043550896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8143976828657199217.post-21920471249722342812021-03-08T05:57:16.548-08:002021-03-08T05:57:16.548-08:00@NLR - Of course we agree, but it perhaps needs ac...@NLR - Of course we agree, but it perhaps needs acknowledging that the proposed change would destroy the modern world - and may well lead to some kind of collapse with (inevitably) a great loss of life. <br /><br />However, that is going to happen anyway - and is indeed being deliberately implemented. <br /><br />So - on the basis that collapse is coming whether we-personally like it or not; these ideas may be more realistic Now than they have been for many decades.
