CONSIDER  QAnon and REASON:  REASON is problematic, as Nietzsche pointed out, and it can put us on a BUS TRIP TO HELL.

QAnon is just ONE EXAMPLE.

 

HERES HOW:

 

As Nietzsche pointed out, REASON is based on RATIO (hence ‘RATIO-nality).

 

Rationality serves us up a shortcut means of constructing REPRESENTATIONS that we can claim to be REPRESENTATIONS OF REALITY.

 

MEANWHILE, REALITY IS NON-REPRESENTABLE because EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX as is the Wave-field-reality.

 

THERE IS NO “BASE-CASE EFFABLE REALITY”, … so we might well ask the question, … WHAT IS IT THAT WE ARE “AGREEING” TO ACCEPT AS BEING “REALITY”?

 

That clearly depends on WHO the “WE” is that we are talking about.

 

As Giordano Bruno stated as they hauled him off to burn him at the stake for heresy in 1600, ‘A majority has no monopoly on the truth’ (reality).

 

Maybe not, but a majority can construct and police SOMETHING that it commits its members to BELIEVING “IS” the TRUTH in order to facilitate coordination within a social collective..

 

For example the abstract concept of THE INDEPENDENT NATION which comes about with the  DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR (e.g; “POLAND DID SUCH AND SUCH”, … provides a STORY that can serve as a collectively embraced MYTH that is useful in ORGANIZING the actions of a multiplicity of people that subscribe to A COMMON IDENTITY, no matter how TENUOUS is the notion of the INDEPENDENT EXISTENCE OF A FATHERLAND or MOTHERLAND may be; e.g. watch the film clip; The Changing Borders of Poland’
