Friedrich Hayek’s observation above would seem to be the Holy Grail of cultural change, too. That is, “ by some sly roundabout way introduce something that they can’t stop.” After all, that is how we’ve arrived at our current woke catastrophe.
As for reversing gears, Bitcoin and like monies are possibly starting this disruption of our current monetary system. Parallel economies would seem to be of some use in combating woke corporations. But like the weather, cultural change can be hard to create by itself, though it changes all of the time.
What is true about the weather though is that high pressure (static) systems expand into low pressure (fluid) systems. Analogously, high pressure (static) cultures will eventually deteriorate into more low pressure (fluid) cultures. For example, it is often held that education and scholarly attainment promote innovation and economic growth. This is not necessarily true. Educational citadels can also become quite static cultures.
It’s often thought that education precedes innovation, whereas it’s more often the other way around. We cause something; then we study to understand it. Since individual initiative is more possible in a more fluid system, it would seem to me that we must find and secure a current reflection of the extremely fluid era and character of our own Western expansion if we are to preserve our nation as the founders intended.
The news for many of us is that the settlers within a new territory necessarily adopt and establish the cultural mores of those territories. In his essay, “ Westerns Are Us ,” Vincent McCaffrey maintains that “the themes of the American West, self-reliance, individuality, cooperation, trust, perseverance and resourcefulness, remain with us as a nation . . . What remnants of the Western (mythos) endure will be the survival of American culture.” This has been our heritage […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
