Mike Lofgren Quotes
The Cultural Forces That Help Politically Sustain Both The Militaristic And The Corporate Function Of The Deep State, However, Are Growing More Irrational And Antiscience. A Military Tradition That Glories In Force And Appeals To Self-sacrifice Is The Polar Opposite Of The Enlightenment Heritate Of Rationality, The Search For Peace, And A Belief In The Common Destiny Of Mankind. The Warrior-leader, Like The Witch Doctor, Ultimately Appeals To Irrational Emotionalism; And The Cultural Psychology That Produces The Bravest And Most Loyal Warriors Is A Mind-set That Is Usually Hostile To The Sort Of Free Inquiry Of Which Scientific Progress Depends. This Dynamic Is Observable In Afghanistan: No Outside Power Has Been Able To Conquer And Pacify That Society For Millennia Because Of The Tenacity Of Its Warrior Spirit; Yet The Country Has One Of The Highest Illiteracy Rates On Earth And Is Barely Out Of The Bronze Age In Social Development.
