Do You Yet Believe?

Are the shepherds pulling the wool over the eyes of the sheep?
Is this a test of the extent to which one might remain faithful to the prevailing orthodoxy—a test of religious zealotry?
It seems neutrality can be rather easily obtained, if one generates enough green. Money, that is.
In the words of Qoheleth (Ecclesiastes 5:10–12, ISV):
10 Whoever loves money will never have enough money.
Whoever loves luxury will not be content with abundance.
This also is pointless.
11 When possessions increase,
so does the number of consumers;
therefore what good are they to their owners,
except to look at them?
12 Sweet is the sleep of a working man,
whether he eats a little or a lot,
but the excess wealth of the rich
will not allow him to rest.
Indeed, there is a season for everything.

Weather is NOT climate:
London is drowning (in 1979)!!!
…The ice age is coming, the sun’s zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
‘Cause London is drowning, and I live by the river…

Yes; just look at groups like Extinction Rebellion. Sadly, they are indoctrinated at school, and they are not even made aware of the skeptic side, except to call skeptics pejoratives like the kindergarten-level “climate denier”. They are taught that it’s all ‘settled science’.

Being called a climate denier to them is the ultimate blasphemy

Ignoring the evolutionary world view, found this today. I’ve just started a permaculture design course and during the introduction on Tuesday, the presenter favoured the idea that we are on a slow energy decline vs a techno explosion, stasis or apocalyptic collapse. Permaculture is a system of low or zero consumption whilst creating excess production (food and energy) that complements that theory. The interview here ties in with that notion from an economics perspective which I liked.

I haven’t looked at your video (don’t know if I have the time), but the idea sounds good.
