Publisher's Synopsis
This essay-like the others before-was written as an act of compas¬sion, consideration and 'tough love' for our present state of af¬fairs and for the future of humankind. It is, therefore, not an at¬tack on anyone, although it may ap¬pear or is in fact damaging to some readers' culture including my own. I ask you to simply consider my efforts as a wakeup call to others about the vision before me, since I will not be alive when this will take place.Having admitted that, let us at least agree that: Truth is often difficult and painful if not impossible to bear, when there is no other alternative but to think out¬side the logical framework of references, meanings, values, and standards from which we have been brought up. In fact: What we now severely need everywhere on our plan¬et is an open mind to resolve our most threatening human issues to get out from under those cultural biases indoctrinated into us all. And there is our major conundrum.This essay continues to beg of us to wake up in the face of the massive tragedy that has been unfolding most likely since before the beginning of our recorded history. A process that has by now begun to ac¬celerate to its logical conclusion. Although most us find ourselves emotionally numb through in¬doctrination, and thus hardly affected by common sense, this essay is nevertheless intended to bring us out of our hyp¬notic trance. The tool used here is to most seriously prod everyone's attention to the obvious catastrophe now unfold¬ing and staggeringly visible for anyone willing to see it. Our tactical purpose is to further support the general arguments of the first two essays, by providing this time many more examples, situations, and cases from history and contemporary events to show the direction our atti¬tude is leading us all to. Doing this as we literally bathe in a world of absurdities and madness, while denying it altogether, or stating that it not as bad as all that.
