Cognizance Primes Governance

Nietzsche wanted to make a re-evaluation of all values. But we have also to re-evaluate our tastes and desires.

Before better governance, what is needed is better cognizance. And it does not matter what the world thinks, as long as the USA and the EU are at each others’ throats.


World democracy is an illusion. There are UN Security Council permanent members, they pack up more than 95% of the world military capability, and another name for that is global peace.

It is certainly better than global war.

The big problem right now is that a loose alliance of world plutocrats (and I include Chinese and Russian leaders in that) led by their main headquarters in Wall Street is fighting the better angels of the European leadership. So democracy which is pretty much reduced to North America, Europe and a few colonies thereof, is split.

The USA keeps believing in it’s exploitative mentality, thanks to colossal propaganda from the fossil fuel, health, military-industrial, banking and academic plutocracies. The EU itself is under American plutocratic assault (OK, it’s their fault, but…).

Before governance, what is needed is cognizance, that means that the history, and even economic history, and the philosophy thereof, of the last 2,000 years needs to be dissected. Professor Diamond did a bit of that, much more needs to be done, hence my labors on:

Abrahamism Does NOT Have The Monopoly Of Faith

Those who believe in a particular superstition do not have the monopoly of faith. As the site below will soon argue in more detail, faith is indispensable for a creature of culture to have a mind (OK, this is extremely advanced philosophy). The adulators of the child molester Abraham should be reminded of this.


On another note, the growth of religious fanaticism in the USA is directly related to its sinking into plutocracy. It's part of a general decerebration, and expresses, just as the despicable Abraham does, the willingness to hurt the child to please the boss.
