Whether anyone has noticed it or not, the world has been characterized by intentional hysteria for years. Perhaps it started when we got to know the concept of disaster tourism.
This concept came into our lives when certain travel agencies, or their owners and originators, came up with the idea of offering people who want to travel the world, mostly with money, trips that take them to the scene of famous natural disasters, deaths, and accidents. So that they would watch in horror at all the horrors that the people living there had to go through, whether they wanted to or not.
As far as I know, this has become a very profitable sector of tourism, we can say that hysteria has become fashionable.
Last time, if I remember correctly, such trips were organized to the site of the sinking of the former Titanic, not with great success. Of course, this did not discourage the "disaster sector" from continuing. If not in an organized manner, and not necessarily with the intention of helping, I know that quite a few people have been curious about the site of the terrible earthquake in Turkey in recent months, in order to see the power of nature with their own eyes. They saw it.
If a topic is picked up by the world press, no one gets away with it.
It becomes like a storm that reaches here even if it originated in a land far, far away. There's not much you can do to defend against it. We don't run away either, the "fashionable" domestic press organs spread the current horror news, extravagant nonsense, or the "sensation" manufactured in the profession. In this regard, the world has become completely globalized. It's like they control everything from one place. (In any case, it is likely that it is so.) The baton of the "world conductor" goes in, and then everyone starts shouting the same thing. And instead of illustrating nonsense, refuting it with clever words, or discovering and trying to explain the causes of earthquakes, tsunamis and extreme weather anomalies, they would rather chew on disasters for a long time, like a dog on a bone.
I myself have been collecting these phenomena and topics that really hide a lot of secrets and cause fear for a few years. I would like to mention two of the fruits of recent years. One is a movement that is said to have originated in England and is called the Birth-Strike, which means Parental Strike. Its founder, who is a woman in her thirties, as well as a large number of members of the movement, announced a strike against childbearing because it is not worth having children in the dark future ahead of us.
Don't ask why the ladies don't want to make the dark future prettier and brighter with their protest, because they don't give an explanation.
On the other hand, they claim that the world is not safe enough for a child. Certainly not, I say too, and even less so, let alone for an adult. If someone has not been convinced of this even in the last few years, then they are not on Earth. I quote the founders of the movement launched above: "by refusing to have children, we protest against the inaction of governments and society". Well, I myself think that it is worth fighting against those who discourage anyone from having children, but not like this.
But by encouraging and even demanding peace and a normal life.
I have my doubts as to whether governments and society will really be frightened by this. And I absolutely do not understand why, what will make the members of the movement better? To have no one by their side in their old age? I wonder why science is not called "carcass" in order to help the world's food production so that there is no famine? Or why aren't they urging scientists to help eliminate water shortages, clean the seas, and even birth control? Especially in spreading human methods of contraception? Well, there is no answer to that either. Although - and many people already know this - science is capable of solving the listed problems.
We should therefore strike against those who obstruct the representatives of humanistic science in their actions, but do not obstruct, and even pay handsomely to the scientists who excel in perfecting weapons.
Another extremely fashionable topic in the world's newspapers is the climate disaster. Of course, everyone senses that the weather has gone crazy. But the world is in constant motion, nothing is permanent. Those who deal with the history of the Earth know and regularly report that the various fluctuations, events different from the weather conditions considered normal by people, are inseparable companions of the Earth's history. Science has recorded numerous ice ages, earthquakes, and even the sinking of continents, and it is certainly not hidden that changes and unexpected phenomena have always brought victims. With material, natural and, unfortunately, human sacrifices as well.
Even during the "dinosaur craze", we often heard from representatives of science that these fabulous animals, along with their other companions, died out as a result of weather and geological changes. And in scientific articles, we could also read that, for example, in South Dakota in the early forties of the last century, on a beautiful day in January, people woke up to minus 20 degrees. Then, less than two minutes later, the temperature started to rise, and within seconds it was plus 7 degrees. 27 degree change in two minutes! According to the records, many people became ill. The article did not mention a death. Representatives of scientific life know many, many "unnatural" weather curiosities, contradictions, and peculiarities like this. Just as it was recently published that those who fear climate catastrophe are not right.
Those who are causing hysteria have never proven that the current climate change can be clearly linked to human activity, to the much-mentioned emission of harmful substances.
Of course, no normal person can dispute that the environment should not be polluted, and plants (and people!) should not be sickened with toxins. My favorite climate historian, whose name is Lajos Rácz, and a professor at the University of Szeged, has said several times that by developing technology and developing adaptation strategies, we can/could change unpleasant phenomena without causing any kind of panic. However, if we do not prepare for the visible and expected changes, then we will be like a boxer who wants to compete in the ring with his hands behind his back. Why, I asked him, what is it like? Well, the answer was, "You're lying in the ring and they're counting, but you're somewhere else in your head."
Inferring from all of this, it cannot be disputed that strikes and demonstrations should be called against the people most interested in creating climate hysteria, rather than acting against the great miracle of the Creator, which is otherwise called: the blessing of children. We wish the disaster tourists good fun and pleasant shivers.
