The first point that has to be emphasized is that we don’t live in a humanist society, that is a society defined by what we like to think of as human characteristics – sentience, foresight, willpower, transindividualism, etc. We live in a society that is more bee-like, frog-like, or sheep-like – the blind hive mind and unthinking herd – that reacts without consciousness, without vision, without leadership, hierarchy, and direction.
This means that we are incapable as societies or as a civilization of doing our own thinking, therefore actions and events have to do our thinking for us – reconnecting us to the realities we constantly stray from.
