In most ecosystems – on the micro and macro scale – it is the highly differentiated environments that have the greatest chance of survival. The weaknesses in one variety are off-set by the strengths of others and the whole of the community has a better chance of survival.
In our modern world, differentiation is under attack.
On social media, people attack anyone whose opinions differ from their own. We see this on both sides of the divide but the one most disturbing is the liberal viewpoint because it is most often the one promulgated by the mainstream media and then spread by those parroting the same opinions on social platforms.
The other voice – unsupported by the mainstream media (the loudest voice) appear by the parrots to be erroneous on the face of it because the “majority opinion” tends the opposite direction; this is the echo chamber effect – most voices agree with me so I must be right. And this in the day and age of rightness being a weapon.
Orwell warned us of this in his novel 1984. The thought police are alive and well on Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube; the Ministry of Truth resides in Wikipedia and Snopes and other “fact-checking” services; the public cattle bending so readily to – if not downright begging for – mandatory restrictions on the population to increase “safety” for everyone in a perfect example of “slavery is freedom”.
The attack does not stop there. Social media platforms have been used to weaponize science agendas as well.
We are all familiar with the “global warming” agenda that’s been going on. Nay-sayers (those with a different opinion) are trashed as “climate deniers” or other derogatory terms and made to appear as something somewhat less than intelligent for not falling into step with the party line. Anyone doing REAL science would know that half their premise – regarding carbon dioxide being bad for the environment – displays a blatant disregard for real science. Beyond that, much of the data is wrongly interpreted or just simply wrong; much of it manipulated and falsified.
The test of any theorem is prediction and the predictions coming out of most the models used for their side of the issue have not produced valid predictions and yet the mouth-pieces still claim it is TRUTH.
It causes one to wonder what exactly is meant by “truth”. Well, it is, quite obviously, their opinion. Opinion has become the truth of the New Age and to it they adhere with a vengeance.
The idea of uniformity is not novel. It has been pushed for millennia and only gained traction in the study of geology.
Lyell theorized that rocks could not form overnight but took millions and millions of years to form. Since there was no method of proving the theory it has seemed to be accepted carte blanche.
Many opinions have supposed that the paleontological record seems to verify the geologic theory but it is the case of using one theory to verify another. That is not how science is supposed to work. Theories don’t prove other theories.
Admittedly, some things do seem to support the idea and the arrangement of the paleontologic record lends some credence in that direction but it is not proof. Especially as there are numerous anomalies that tend toward its disproof – the technocracy running the world’s science organizations be damned.
Once uniformity was accepted in science – though far from proven – this acceptance has spread to other areas since, as we all know, science is king, science is exacting, and science is the ultimate arbiter of truth itself. (So says the thought police manuals.)
Uniformity is becoming mirrored in all areas of our life.
Political correctness is one social manifestation that has empowered the left to bully the control of the conversation but it runs far deeper and more insidious elsewhere with very dangerous results.
Medicine teaches that humans are biochemical machines and – without getting into the spiritual areas of conflict (or I’d be here all week) – as such we are all basically the same.
Though we appear different on the macro level, it is assumed on the smaller scales that we are essentially the same: consisting of the same structures of cells and organs that are very much alike from one to another.
Medical science accepts that there are different blood types preventing an easy swap of hemoglobin and tissue from one to another but they seem to think that beyond that it is all pretty much the same.
When you get a “blood work up” the various chemical levels are matched against their charts of what is assumed to be “normal”.
And here’s where the problems become manifest.
Why do you think that so many medicines have side-effects in so many people? If we were all the same, the medicine should have the same impact on everyone.
This is most noticeable in the vaccines that are touted by many as essential – to the point where many on the left want to make them mandatory. This is uniformity on steroids.
[This also comes from the lie we are told about how we “catch” diseases, but that will have to be a topic for another time.]
Continuing on the same vein, we see uniformity in hyper-drive in the subject of genetically modified foods. Yes, the truthers among us have begun to think eons of evolutionary development in our crops is wrong – they can do it better. Oh, yes!
Cross-pollination from the manipulated varieties can escape into non-GMO fields and alter the plants there turning that crop into the same GMO variety.
In a robust system we see a lot of differentiation. The differentiation is a natural protectant against epidemics. Should a blight come along and destroy all of a single species, that are varieties that will survive as well as certain of that species that lie in other parts of the robust system.
Not so with monoculturing. With all the crops being identical, the entire food source of a nation – or the world – can be wiped out overnight.
Imagine if the blight targeted all crops with a specific genetic trait and that happens to be the single strain built into ALL the GMO crops.
The results would be devastating.
We need to step back and take a breath. We need to realize differentiation is our STRENGTH not the weakness so many of the technocrats today seem to believe.
The wikis and the mainstream media may say otherwise but even the most rudimentary intellect should be able to understand that a system that is not robust will only lead to one inevitable conclusion.
The conclusion pictured in Orwell’s classic novel.
Then peace will truly be war.
