Great post as always Harrison.

You've reminded me again of Orwell's writings about language and the dramatic conscious and subconscious shifts that can take place in one's perspective of self and the world simply by manipulating language - both for the categorizing left hemisphere and the metaphorically savvy right. How we've seen this at play over the past 50 years or so!

I hope, with the latest cultural revolution, the Great Reset, that it will continue to be implemented in a premature fashion - while our collective memory is still grounded in the cultural symbology of a more sane epoch - and thus be rejected. Or at least significantly resisted. I think there are healthy signs that this is the case.

If the technocracy were to extend their timeline enough so that the current memory and internal representation of the world is sufficiently extinguished before attempting another 'year zero', then they may have a frictionless transition. But happily, Klaus et al want it all to happen in their lifetime, indeed they've scripted the 'emergency' narrative that demands it happens now. Which, happily, will be too soon, with too much of the old world in us for them to take us easily, if at all.
