Year by year, I continue to make my case for the independent individual—one might even say the lone individual, except that this phrase has been co-opted to mean an assassin, a killer.
Which tells us where society is heading.
On every possible front, the psyop is about discrediting the individual and elevating the group and the collective.
Because I’m 75 years old, I’ve been around long enough to see the tectonic shift, among so-called intellectuals, from admiring and praising the individual to celebrating some sort of spiritual unity that makes us all into One Cosmic Glob.
For example: “There is really no separation between us. That’s an illusion. Finally, we are one consciousness.”
I dispute this. I reject it completely.
