And urgently. Namely this pedophile thing. Because we're going crazy. Let there be a humane, clear law that protects our children. And of course, whoever corrupts them should suffer the most severe punishment.
But let's put an end to the scrutiny that we've been experiencing almost daily these days, according to which, if someone says that they don't think XY is a pedophile, they immediately demand his head. After all, it is possible that the person was not informed, or that he was poorly informed, or that he did not delve into the mysteries of this truly condemnable strange sexual disease and perversion, but let's not blame anyone right away!
Sin is sin. Guilty is guilty. But to fabricate a guilty party because of an opinion - I think it is unacceptable.
This reminded me of the fact that in my high school years, one of my classmates did not go to the so-called liberation running race. An overzealous teacher immediately entered it in his checker, informing the parents that this was indeed a reprehensible act. My classmate's father replied to him: “he did the right thing. Our family does not like communist running races." Well, there are always overzealous judgers and haters. Fortunately, they are both normal people and brave, as was the father of my former classmate.
What is going on in public life right now is the kind of effort to make everyone who commits even the smallest mistake or who dares to express their dissent, even if they are wrong, testify to a sick society.
And indeed, nowadays we see sick societies and degenerate societies everywhere we look. And this reminds me of the Bolshevism left behind us, and sometimes Maoism. And not only in connection with "pedophile" cases. The essence of these methods was that they incited contradictions between the old and the young, between the rich and the less rich, and they stigmatized those who did not side with the mainstream in a particular debate. Well, even today we experience and see disputes that go to the edge of a knife and disregard all human dignity, for example in climate matters, epidemic matters, and many other cases.
During the period of communism, it also happened many times that people denounced each other because they did not like the other's way of thinking. I trust that it will not be repeated, that era will not come back.
The era of dehumanization. Looking at the world, we are not far from it. As it has not been since the era of fear-mongering, it is here on our necks. We have to be careful about what we express our opinion about and how, because if the people don't like it, then the herd will come at us, the herd that can always be horrible. It comes at us and tells us what to think about, why we should be ashamed, explains why we should be afraid, what's more, terrified because of epidemics, because of wars, because of climate change, because of the depletion of drinking water, why wonderful paintings, statues, and churches must be destroyed , ban meat eating, and so on. Instilling fear is essential. Just be afraid, everyone, and don't have an opinion. Don't have the right to be wrong. That's pretty much where we're at right now, so you can make cowardly puppets out of people.
In my collection, I keep the thoughts of many smart people left to us in writing. The polymath philosopher Rudolf Steiner once said to a young medical student who was interested in how to recognize a devil? Steiner replied:
"the devil can never be recognized at first, because he always comes in the form of an angel."
Well, God knows. But the fact that he works here among us in some form cannot be denied. We just don't know what to do with him, we hardly manage to neutralize him or defeat him. Not just because the mentioned fear-mongering is done by professionals. They know the methods. We have to face evil, cruelty, lies, and slander every day. With the Primitive Evil, as religion and Steiner philosophy say.
Now we are at the point where artificial intelligence is also being talked about, saying that it can be used to reprogram people in an excellent way. I would like to know why today's informed scientists and people dealing with philosophy don't speak out more, why don't they visibly fight against the above-mentioned phenomena that destroy the world, the work and thoughts of the Creator? It is a fact, of course, that it takes time for them to realize that here the individual is dwarfed and unable to fight effectively against the stimulated sexual instincts, the harmful drugs and the all-dominating and also harmful technology.
"I say, the man is not yet great."
I am not saying this, but Attila József said this, and more and more of us are admitting how right he was! It will probably be a great struggle to find a way back to normal, to eliminate the pilferers, to re-create the laws with collective wisdom. Unfortunately, I don't see whether the world would be a "customer" for this around this time.
But I am sure that many of our wise thinkers should perhaps be more intensively deployed in the fight for normality and the protection of the rules of creation.
Steiner died a long time ago (1925). If he were alive, and if many eminent scientists, poets and philosophers who were considered very brave in their time were still alive, they would surely have the power to incite the need for clarity in people and would surely encourage them to fight against manipulations. Until it's too late. Smart people say that mental strength can be greater than physical strength.
So be it! But as soon as possible!
