Time Text
So everybody knows that we are at war in the world.
The forces of reason are fighting against the forces of irrationality.
The forces of individuality are at war with the forces of collectivism and subjugation.
Empiricists fight against subjectivists.
Rationalists fight against emotional verbal abuse.
There is a war there.
But it is not overseas.
It is not in others.
The fundamental war, my friends, is in you and it is in me.
First commandment of Socrates, know thyself.
Know your own biases, your own fears, your own capacity for irrationality and error.
And in particular, it is the fear that is the war.
Why are people afraid to speak the truth?
We are afraid to speak the truth because we are afraid of the reactions of those around us.
Now, the reactions of those around us might be that they get mad at us or they call us names or they block us on Facebook or whatever.
Those reactions can be managed.
It's not like somebody sticking a shiv in your side.
Those reactions can be managed.
You can say, well, this is just a nasty, scared, frightened adult child.
Who has no capacity to handle his or her own emotions and so they're lashing out and we discredit them and we move on.
The war is within and the war is against fear.
And our fear of avoiding conflict is bringing conflict.
Our fear of disapproval is bringing divisiveness.
All physical wars arise from people with reason surrendering to their fear and being silent.
When we speak the truth, we push back, we hurl back the gathering and unleashed dogs of war.
They are driven back with words.
The corrosive, soul-eating fog of war, of violence, is driven back through clear language.
And we are living in a land of lies.
We are living in a world of deception.
As George Orwell said in a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary action.
And you must be a revolutionary.
You cannot sit by.
The masses...
Have accumulated so many errors and such momentum, not through their own fault, but through the propaganda and lies of those who laughingly claimed to have educated them, but have in fact indoctrinated and brainwashed them into thinking that their history has no value, their culture has no value, all of the crystalline cathedrals of freedoms built on the blood, bones and sacrifice of their ancestors have no values.
The accumulated errors of the masses has reached such a breakout momentum that we must stop the pitchfork and torch-laden masses from their rush off the cliff.
We must stop them or they will carry us with them into nihilism, into nothingness, into mere history.
We are like a bubble on a wave.
We must find a way to control the wave, to manage the wave, or we are taken wherever the wave goes.
It is to your self-interest that I am appealing to you to become a leader to those around you.
Forgive them, Father.
They know not what they do.
They have been instructed.
They have been brainwashed.
They are broken.
And they need leadership.
Not commandments, not bullying.
They need clear leadership.
It has to be you.
It has to be you.
If you listen to this show, you have accumulated enough knowledge.
You have accumulated enough facts.
You have accumulated enough evidence that you can and must bring this evidence to those around you.
There is no other way to stop the dissolution of the liberties we have inherited.
Bring the facts.
stand tall in the face of the hysterical gales of nonsense that will smite you and attempt to push you over should you dare to stand up and do the revolutionary act of speaking the mere truth in a world of lies.
That is what this show is all about.
Confront the fear within yourself.
Learn the glory of standing atop the mountains of the world and crying reason to all the four corners you can find.
My friends, we are like stars in the night sky.
The interstellar depths of ignorance and avoidance separate us, but with the internet, with this technology, with this conversation, we can join together and bring enough light to the world to illuminate all the dark places of fear and ignorance, evasion, avoidance, abuse.
We can light it all up so that everyone can see what evil is, how it is defined, and therefore How to end it.
How to reject it.
How to disempower immorality.
Now, I certainly think I'm doing my part as hard, as courageously, and as robustly as I know how.
And I think the results speak for themselves.
We've gone from 4 million views and downloads a couple of months ago, To 10 million now.
That's thanks to the work I'm doing and we're doing here at the Shell.
That is thanks to you if you have liked, subscribed, shared, supported, donated to this show.
I believe that this conversation, philosophy, reason, evidence, empiricism, courage, virtue, integrity, this is what stands between civilization and its ending.
We are the angled spears against the charging horses of the apocalypse, of the ends of freedom.
So please, I need your support.
I need your help.
We can continue to grow.
We can continue to move the greatest lever the world has, the lever of reason, of philosophy, of evidence, facts, reality.
Please, freedomainradio.com slash donate.
To help out this conversation, there is no limit to what we cannot do.
If we act in concert, robustly, energetically, with courage, with integrity, with persistence, with energy, with humor.
There is nothing that we cannot do and we owe it to the future as we inherited these gifts from those who came before us and we have the capacity to increase them.
We must defend them and pass them to those who come after.
We cannot be the link in the chain that breaks.
With the weaponry in the world today, if civilization fails, there may be no recovery.
So, please help out this show.
Please like, subscribe, share.
Bring these arguments to people.
Bother them.
Be the gadfly.
Remind them.
Awaken them.
