Transcending Creators` Trilogy in the Era of Growing Global Idiocrasy

Benjamin Katz

Description

Humans are endowed with potential evolving great soul and a potential to become nothing at all . . .
Spreading smoke screen over our foolishness is human’s/nation’s specialty and the reason for our constant stumbling over our feet and the reign of Idiocracy now.
There are no exceptional people or nations because of moral alone. The only exceptionalism is attained by pursuing the goals of global sustainability, fairness, and farsighted and wise evolvement beyond sapiens limitations.
This book tries to show how we can rid us of our cursed global Idiocracy by pursuing a long term, viable course for farsighted, wise and sustainable future development.

BOOK I ADOLESCENTS’ BASIC INSIGHTS
Preface
In this book, you—the hopefully receptive brainy reader—are instructed on how to learn to think beyond the mental limitations of ordinary sapiens in your age group and time.
I describe in it bleak political current climate which I consider as Idiocracy. An Idiocracy is a disparaging term for a society run by or made up of idiots (or people perceived as such). A society or group that is controlled by or consists of people of low intelligence.
“the people in our current Idiorcarcy deserve whatever they will get”
Idiocracy is clearly demonstrated in the standoff in Ukraine war (Vest - Russia), in China-USA and in Israel-Iran conflicts, etc.
People dedicated to military blocks, dominance, and their ideology, willing to fight for them, are plagued by the primitive human idiocy. The advanced humans fight for global cooperation and are evolving by reducing these primitive characteristics.
The urge to win and to possess the right on one’s side, where the dangers of unimaginable global flare-ups loom, is a strong indication of Idiorcarcy.
The “eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth” policy/mentality/mindset/policy is the base of Idiocracy as they constitute a very primitive, destructive pattern in a nuclear armed world. Only dimwitted politicians and their backers can legitimize such an affront for human intelligence. It is much wiser to defend oneself and deter.
People who act repeatedly with bursts of strong negative emotions in relations, which core-like emotional desertion or neglect stems from their childhood, are in fact semi-automatic beings as long as this pattern steers their lives.
Almost the same can be said on the conditioned reaction of politicians who, instead of thinking in alternatives, go for force against force.
“Fear not the strangeness you feel. The future must enter you long before it happens. Just wait for the birth, for the hour of the new clarity” (Rilke).
As I mean that there is mutuality between the future to come and what we must do to shape it and stop the spreading the mindset of Idiocracy, so we should not just wait, as the future seems to be a murder . We should form it to be much wiser and benign for us . . .
I use here a teaching mode that I have very often and successfully used in my contacts with clients, groups, and other gatherings. I dubbed it as Mindsets Fragmentation/Mental Zetz (“blows” in Yiddish) to open up their minds to new knowledge, perspectives, and horizons beyond their fixed mind programming. Mindsets fragmentation learning is the process of breaking down the mind’s rigid conditioning/convictions as to sidestep folks’ generalizations, consensus, rigid thinking systems, which is the core problem in most people’s lives and in humanity as well.
There is no rigid, systematic, consensual, contextual, fast order in this book of telling stories and tales, so in the beginning, it may confuse the comfort-zone and security seeking reader.
In this process, I use a lots of zetz (mental blows) to shake the rigid, conviction-prone mind of the reader as to direct his/her mind (breaking away from his mental habitus) to an advanced way of viewing both reality and our ultimate meaning with our lives.
“The illiterate of the 21 st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn,” wrote Alvin Toffler.
This illiterate is a binary thinker: black-white, good-bad, right-wrong. He is convinced that he has a patent on what is the truth and what is the right way to be human, superseding all other inferior humans.
But there is a catch in this way of thinking; when you are always right, good, and wise and your opponent/enemy is wrong, wicked, and foolish, you become a very dangerous and destructive human.
The ordinary sapiens mind relies very much on replications (rituals, opposite-prone categories, and acquired conventions) on much none reflected imitating models and authorities and on collaborating with powerful entities (be them cartels, gangs, or state organs), while relying too little on being critical, independent thinking, farsighted. This means that we have in our time run into huge global menace (our own destruction) where our collective wisdom and overview can´t keep up with our technological advancement and greed.
Farsighted advanced wisdom beyond sapiens mental limitations
People recommending detachment from reality are escapists. Being present in your time/place and beyond them is the right thing to do.
The trouble with our current humanity is that two big groups deepen its split-up agenda:
1. The opportunistic/greed/comfort/materialistic-prone group
2. The daydreamers group, whose hymn is
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There’s a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.
The group that wishes to evolve away from both groups’ agendas is yet miniscule . . . but it will prevail as it is the one that bears the torch of farsighted wisdom!
Farsighted, advanced wisdom far exceeds the usual wisdom we talk about in our reality as it aims at changing radically both our global long-term focus and the rules governing our collective lives out in the future, putting stress on evolving/upgrading us beyond our mental limitations, thus pursuing our ultimate meaning—to become Creators by our own right.
This farsighted wisdom aims at erasing the magnitude of human short sight/stupidity and ignorance, which result in so much destruction and self-destruction in the human world, while common wisdom is kept down by the immense force of multitudes of ordinary and stupid minds.
By upgrading our mental capacity, it aims at teaching future generations how to behave in the long term to have a life that is affirming, sustainable, and evolving—all life vital challenges that we ignore today.
To encompass its essence, you have to acquire knowledge on the rules of nature , the general history of humanity and human nature , and the influence our nurture and narratives have upon our minds.
I don’t blame people for being bad thinkers. Often, they are not bright enough as to attain all-around contextual thinking. But when some people get angry at me because they only command fragmented thinking—they cannot see the forest but just few trees—and feel undermined in their arguments/convictions, there is no other solution but to keep away from them . . . and they keep away from my writings.
Teaching farsighted wisdom aims at ridding children in the future of the impact of religious/ideological indoctrinations/convictions and of the human hang to become prejudiced toward people and groups of differing ideas and creed.
It aims at making children much more versatile and robust than contemporary megacity children by exposing them for challenging life experiences that will make them both mentally robust and flexible while teaching them to discern between nonsense, trivialities, and banalities on the one hand and the essentials of our life on the other hand.
So to put it straightforwardly, in this book, I try to make you much wiser and farsighted than before you started reflecting over its content.

Nothing lasts, all dissolve
except if you will evolve,
so you may not decay
or pass for ever away.
(B. K.)

The ultimate human meaning and must,
is in defying the destiny of animated dust.
Challenging the constraints of life’s Animator,
to evolve and ascend, and become a creator.
(B. K.)
