“Tolerance will reach such a level that intelligent people will be banned from thinking so as not to offend the imbeciles.” - Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky
Sounds like what would happen when leftism is allowed to run amok in society.
_Currently underway_
I have stories I can tell all day
exactly 💯💯
Nice quote, Dostoevsky never actually said it though
What’s his name the Canadian? I think Jordan Peterson. Canadian Medical board wants him not only to shut up but undergo reeducation. Open ended too. They are not clear what their goal is, length of time, or how they know that he’s “Healed”. The very insanity that want to decide, define, and punish “Hate Speech”. Who gives or receives that power. The resistance is growing to these tyrants but not fast enough
I’m a Canadian 🇨🇦 born in 1975, and during my life I’ve seen an almost unbelievable decline of general decency and morality in people. I try my hardest to be as polite, courteous and respectful to others as I can, even though a lot of people these days aren’t……
Geometry is very useful but all our measurements are false tho work for us.
Always been the same in bigger cities etc, no different
100% I’ve experienced similar in Australia since 1973. It baffles me how so many people seem to have seriously impaired empathy, extreme entitlement and no basic courtesy. It all seems to be tied to stupidity, cruelty and a brutish attitude to life and others. My childhood wasn’t like that at all. Blokes used to fix stuff properly on a handshake. Can’t even imagine that now.
Fellow Canadian and completely agree. It is most obvious on the roads.
@@cloudmountaindog8537 exactly mate, people have been enticed into so much narcissism and material things that the dumbing down of has made them feel like knowing what Kim Kardashian bought for herself on her last holiday or who picked the most teams in the footy tips is a great accomplishment, they'll sit and talk for hours about it and pat each other on the backs, and yet people I know have the cheek to say to me that I'm antisocial because I just want to go and get the things I need and get my ass home, and yet somehow it's my fault that I don't follow suit and sit with them
talking absolute rot for hours, and these are people that are in their 40's and 50's that think they're smarter than other people for picking more teams in the NRL that week, it's sad mate 👍
Never argue with a stupid person...or they will only drag you down to their level and beat you with their experience - Mark Twain

I like that quote. I also like his other one in the same vein: "Don't wrestle with pigs. You both get filthy, and the pig likes it." I have a feeling that Twain had a lot of experience talking with stupid people.

I am 75. I see Internet references that are in conflict with my eyeballs have seen.
I would trust bound paper books for reference before diving into the internet about many subjects. It would take a lot of effort to reproduce a bound copy of a book printed in 1953. Or any other year before the net was a public thing to view.
Oh yes I have heard of the Mandela effect. BUT I am talking about being there, in person. There are experts at slight of hand and slighting reality for their own purposes. They have been around for millennia.
It used to be that you find more than one source. Compare and deduce something approaching reality.
But when all sources are exactly the same. It generally indicates tampering.
It is called "dumbing down" the people. They don't want smart intelligent people who think for themselves, they want people to do what they say without question.
Exactly
That's why gov are shipping in poc from all over the world to Europe. To dumb it down.

hearing the phrase "the Science is Settled" is maddening .... its the complete opposite of what science is .
one definition of science is "the Prosecution of Truth " , to pursue , and discover even against what is currently believed .
I mean ppl allready take google as gospel
I didn't lose trust in science. I lost trust in the people who present themselves as scientists, especially if they have government backing.
Or big company backing. Money changes our sense of reality.
In many fields $cience has replaced Science.
The crazy things the "trust the science"... trust is for your faith. Science has to provide proof.
@@vanillagorilla6990 that is very true I learn a lot of truth from the bible read your Bible and you can follow it's advice so peaceful and kind.

I dislike going out in public as the majority of people I have misfortune to meet are stupid. A total lack of even basic common sense. It's depressing.
Tell me about it. I just rode to the local grocery store with my hubby. He went in to get a few items while I waited in the truck and some little bimbo that works there and is always flirting with him literally chased him out to the truck with me sitting there. Then she had the nerve to look over at me after trying to get him to tell her his last name, and say "Hey there Sweetheart"....UGH. Absolutely shameless, dispicable behavoir.
Yeah. It's painful to listen to many of them, and feels impossible to even bother to attempt to reason.

I developed these rules for myself a fair few years before the pandemic showed up, but they've been serving me well so far:
1. Listen to everybody (no matter who they are)
2. Believe nobody (no matter who they are)
3. Locate as much original source data as possible
4. Make up your own mind from all of the above.
Believe nothing.
Dis believe nothing.
Verify everything.

Oh how far we have fallen as a society to have given our privacy and freedom so cheaply. If calamity doesnt kill you stupidity surely will.
i do all my shopping online, no way to do it without giving away personal info but to me it's still much more private than going into a store and being in public around total strangers who could actually physically touch me if they chose.

You know when to push back? When they tell you that the “science is settled “.
LOL yes, science is never settled, it isn't even settled on gravity.
At that point, science becomes religion.
And my response to that is, "It might be in YOUR mind." And then not spend too much time in that person's company.
@@wyzolma99 Perfect!
@@taskcasburn6086 as a person with a science degree, who worked in the science field for 27 years, i completely agree. Science is a tool to discover teh universe. If I say "that is what science TELLS us", it means that "anybody can go do the same experiment and get the same result; otherwise, find the flaw inthe method, run the experiment again and let's all look at the data"
"settled science" is small, closed minded thinking.

It's an intentional attack on our societies. Just research the people who push harmful social policies that reward bad behavior and ignorance and you'll see that I'm telling the truth. They WANT our Western countries to be filled with stupid, addicted and sick evil people for a reason.

'speed of science' as claimed by Pfizer LOL
Got that right. Lately it appears that the majority of “scientists” are dishonest ideologues with a very destructive agenda. Truth be damned to them.
That statement makes science, a religion. "Trust" infers "Don't question, don't think about it, just assume."
It’s an oxymoron when you think about it.
I wrote that to him. To the topic "flatearth" a philosophical bridge.
As far as I know you are critical about the absolut "technical thinking" cause it doesn't reflect our life and our reality and I agree on that. Let's connect this to the topic flat earth. For you and me and every human being waking on earth in our regular life, earth is not round under our feet and in our eyes, it's " flat", it's horizontal around us and the sun moves around us every day, from east to south to west to north. That's our perspective as humans, that's what's affecting us from birth till death 24/7 but of course if we change the perspective by technology and watch media from space than we can see that it is a globe and a beautiful blue planet in a sun system in the middle of a galaxy and we can read and study about it and it's fascinating.... BUT that's not our daily individual perspective on earth.
So I wouldn't call flat earthers stupid, they are just very sceptical about the technology and trust only their own perspective and yes that is kind of close minded but Its not crazy. The technical thinking is kind of a atomizational thinking of reality and it is likely that it could lead to atomization on earth...
I agree with you that intellectualism is a attitude and I agree with reading a lot and I also recommend reading primary sources not second sources or summaries and that goes for all kind of topics, specially in these times of fast opinions, "cultural war" and digitalization.

I think that being isolated from the ratrace is a plus for clear thinking and debating. I love listening to your theories.
When I was at school, I used to wish that I was like some of the other kids who would absorb everything that they were told, without questioning. Fifty + years later and my view has changed, having seen what they, and their kind, became.
They become a product to the system Drilled like the foot soldiers ( Cannon fodder) for the elite, being told how to think and when to wipe your own arse is what education is, with out questioning.
I know what you mean, my school friends that went on to higher education also went onto become the most closed minded people I know, completely incapable of considering the contrary to anything the government media puts out, they believe it without question.

I agree with you completely. The rise of social media has dumb down society. A lot of people can not sit and read a book anymore. It's a shame really.
I totally agree! Ugh @ social media. I'm old enough (40-some) to know a glorious time prior to this hyper-connectivity, and internet. We did things. Outdoors!

💯Bjorn, I saw this happening on the television decades ago. I was shocked that the programming was accepted and "successful'. I can't bear to turn on a television now.
We no longer have a TV for these very reasons x
COMPLETELY AGREE. Some days I wonder if I’m the only one who sees these things. People have no shame these days. They will say or do anything stupid. And they are praised for it! What the hell?
Stupid people, aren't a threat.. it's intentional. Simple as that.
Vacuous cowardice > self-awarded certificate of participation....taught from kindergarten.
I think the problem is, that most of us lost the connection to the nature. Not knowing names and benefits of trees and plants. Not knowing how to grow the simplest veggies. Not knowing how to use tools and how to fix simple things. I see how children nowadays grow up and I compare it with my childhood. We learned so much with being outside on our own, building tree houses and rafts. Making tours with bikes without being monitored through parents all the time. We have to take a few steps back as a society.
By the by, can you see my replies?
With the current state of society?
The tree of liberty must first be watered with the blood of countless child predators before such a thing can happen again. It simply wouldn’t be safe without doing that first.
@Martina J. You may get your wish soon.
Most of these people aren't just stupid, they are deeply traumatised/hypnotised and are strongly resisting what we can see. It is the last gasp of the 'matrix' and idiocy will be replaced by shock/realisation. I'm glad that we don't have to go through that process and we will be mopping up their mess for some time to come.
Agree to an extent except these willfully ignorant zombies and pulling us down with them into complete enslavement.
I totally agree with doing your own research. I went to school in the 60’s and 70’s study was encouraged and we had discourse and talked about opposing views. I did begin to notice the trend towards discouraging discourse towards the end of schooling and now it is criminal what they are doing to our children.
Yep, I grew up in the 70's & was encouraged to do my own research & to think for myself. I then went to uni much later on & received a grade C for doing extensive research for an assignment & the person next to me received a grade A+ for plagiarising the lecturers published text!! If that's not academic corruption, I don't know what is!!
The dumbing down is going on for a long, long, long time. They take away the intelligence of the people bit by bit, so slow, that people don't notice.
It is hard to soar with the eagles when you are surrounded by turkeys.
Love the analogy but it's really more like being trapped in a bucket of crabs....
This Carl Sagan quote is on my mind a lot lately...
"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."

Love this!
I have often seen this sentiment, in the form of this quote: "it is easier to fool a man, than to convince him he has been fooled." It is usually attributed to Mark Twain, but there seems to be no evidence of the actual author. Regardless, it seems an accurate observation.

I've loved reading since childhood, I'm still reading, and learning, at 67, left school at 15 as I needed to work, didn't stop me continuing to learn, I've no idea how many books on multiple topics I've consumed over the years, but I've no intention of stopping anytime soon 😊
Same here.Dual lives.Keep reading.
Same as me! But let’s not forget, we are just reading someone else’s opinion on things
I am a detail Gardener, some people scauf at my humble claims of having a education in horticulture and that there even exists a gardener that does more than cutt grass. There are even those who think they have a inherit skilled hand in gardening because of some elder in thier family who was a great gardener, that may hold something, but years of hands on experience, and Lots of reading,.. you know ?
Great show today Wise Woodsman 🕊️🌲
There is NO substitute for practical experience imho.
You can bring horticulture but you can't make her think.
Yes, Wise Woodsman 👍🏽
Hi Wolfgang! I love you your attitude. I am 76 years young too. I feel 49 years young. I bought a motorcycle with side car last year and love the freedom. I served in the military for many years and saw the worst of humanity. My sense of humor saved my sanity. There is so much beauty in this world if you only open your heart. My cats are inquisitive and have taught me how different the world looks like from 8 inches from the ground. If we are to ever grasp the meaning of our humanity, we have to see this world from the other person's perspective.
Thank you Wolfgang, for shearing sharing your story.
"We have more to fear from stupid people than we do from evil ones." ...Bonhoeffer
We've been downgraded to a lower level thru manipulation, food additives, GMO's, media, medicines and the educational system etc... I learned at an early age to think for myself and to solve problems, tasks and curiosity of how things work. Always trying to think outside the box! I've never believed in what was being told or to follow the crowd to the "rabbit hole." We've lost our will as "free thinkers" to some extent! I might not be the "brightest Apple in the barrel," but I can still be a free thinker.... Thank you Bjorn for your free thinking knowledge!

Finally!! Someone saying this out loud! I am constantly telling people that I will not take nonsense and make it a conversation. I have to add that we are now learning much about nutrition that has been hidden from us. We have been deceived there as well. It isn’t a wonder people are distrustful. We have been lied to in every aspect of our lives and now it is up to us to find the truths.
The example of Flat Earth is a bad one though. The spinning water ball rocketing through space at 66,600 mph IS the lie

So glad you mentioned Woke ideology in University. I had great respect for those who had studied and we're experts but the last three years has turned things upside down for me. Not as quick to trust the experts these days.
What is the definition of "Woke"?
I Absolutely agree with you. I have always said that we are never too old to learn, Anything!!! I Love your videos. I'm almost 60yrs old and I Love to read books!Thank you so very much. 🙏💙💙💙🙏
You should have millions of followers, I am 68 went to a village school but always read books and still do. I am horrified by the dumbing down we see today, in school I was taught to challenge every thing and learn about as much as possible so that I could converse with a wide variety of people.
Now 62, I was the same. Must be an 'age' thing! Farmer's daughter, church on Sunday, small village school education and just a regular pupil but one who always asked 'WHY' ! My mother took all her 7 children into the city every Thursday after school. We spent at least an hour there choosing our books. We all loved Thursday's. Raised my six children much the same way. All sons and all doing very well for themselves/families owning their own businesses. (An aside- not one of us took them poison shot. )
I understand your praise for him but it is better he remains more small
I go to the car dealer and they have a tv for the adults and a tv room for kids. I could not stand the "news" so I went in the kids room...no one was in there and the tv was off. An employee came in and turned it on. I was appalled...it was mind numbing so I left.
You are perfectly correct, sir
The reason is, of course,that idiots match easier to control. 👍
@@chelamcguire I agree wholeheartedly.
I'm Grammar school educated,and the two senior English teachers always encouraged me to ask questions (for whiich I have laws been grateful).
And I have always held that the most important question is WHY?
College student here. Some of the things I have had to deal with are, proposing the revoking citizenship based on ideology, don't think for yourself the people I approve of will tell you what to think, limiting who can give their opinion based on skin color or gender, and a refusal to engage with an idea or concept if the group it is popular with is the wrong side.
I think you're confused on some issues.
If you have your citizenship revoked due to ideology, where are you expected to go? I'm assuming it will only be aimed at conservative views of course..
The elites have broken the code. They know if they asked the public to censor themselves for the sake of the elite, the public would rightfully rebel. So instead, they ask the public to censor themselves for the sake of oppressed and marginalized, and the public are guilted into compliance. Of course, it is the interests of the elite that are being served the whole time, and censorship by social pressure is a stalking horse for censorship by political coercion.
Questioning is the whole point of science!
A critical mind is quite uncommon in my experience. Never lose that inquisitive disposition we all had as children. Every day has potential to be a learning day in a myriad of ways.
I have had enough of stupid people ,as well. In one month I'm giving up my house and going to go off grid. I have already hidden supplies in the area where I am going . I'll probably pick up a dog on the way .😊
Buy all your supplies quickly before these bastards take away cash and make it all digital....(this is one way they are eliminating off gridders).

its by design , they (Davos billionaires) push the algorithim on major platforms to weaken kids to pursue worthless qualities that get clicks ,
bottle fliping, cinnamon challenge , boob showing , etc.
Somehow it feels like this has all happened before
@@Outdoorsy368 it has, perhaps it is inevitable. All you can do is keep your powder dry.
Another thing that I've noticed is that "credentials" seem more valuable than actual experience. You can know things, but, if you don't have the piece of paper that says you're an expert, you're not considered to be.
Because that "piece of paper" necessitated you to be INDOCTRINATED. No indoctrination means you are not one of "them"....
In the post-truth era, it's not as simple as "trusting the experts" because so many "experts" are beholden to money, ideology, or both. Just because someone has been to college doesn't mean the information they give has any value.
It sucks.
Don't trust, think.
@@allesdurchprobiert Wow, that was deep bro. Any other jewels of wisdom? Should I take my pants off before I shit?
I lived with hippies up a mountain in the Canaries for 1 year. Living in nature and growing our own food/medicine. 💚 I learnt more in 1 year than the previous 20.
Where can I find them?sounds great
@@barniball this was in Tenerife high up past a place called Arafo. There are numerous places just in Tenerife. We stayed at an old tobacco farm/finca. The land was huge and covered many terraces in wooded areas where people built amazing recycled houses from old pallets/ salvaged wood. We had solar electric, also fresh water source from the mountain. It really was heaven.
Unfortunately the guy who made the decisions moved to Portugal and the land went back to the owner. It is still unused now. So much potential for the right team of people.
Thanks for sharing that! 👍
Yes, there's a tinge of jealousy in me for your experience there, but I also realize that you'd probably be envious of some of my life's chapters.

@@bigsi4157 Thanks for the answer!
Unfortunately, I find that with the health care system. Instead of getting to the root of problems it is becoming more or less “Take this pill and hope it works!”
It's exactly like that in Germany too. Because the system was "neoliberalized" years ago. Finding the root cause is expensive and after healing, the patient doesn't generate money anymore. You have to be your own layman doctor now, and use the professional doctors as a tool to get what you need.
@@allesdurchprobiert Yeah, well they want you healthy but not too healthy or else that means less money for them. I only go to the doctor’s as a last resort and unfortunately, with a current medical problem it is a last resort sadly. However, I have been taking more health and psychology courses the past few years and reading/ trying natural means. But in certain cases medication is a last option.
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury comes to mind. As does WB Yeats who said 'Education is not the filling of a pail but rather the lighting of a fire'. The ruling classes don't want too many fires burning....people might get ideas!
It's not only intelligence that's under attack, but independent thought as well. There's really a push for a borg style collectivism.
Bjorn, I absolutely love that you do not mince your words and you tell people exactly how it is!! This is the most refreshing page on the internet.
An expert has often been described as 'Someone who knows a lot about very little.'
Another one I heard is, "An expert is anyone who has to drive over 100 miles to get to you."
I find the lack of integrity is rampant these days. I guess Im old (60) but a handshake and a mans word was worth its weight in Gold when I grew up. People without the ability to say I don't know is really threatening to this would.
Great presentation, I tell folks all the TIME, "I am ignorant, but I work daily to overcome this
flaw," ( Peace
I've lost all trust in our doctors and healthcare system.
I am learning more now than when I was in school.
Hello Bjorn.I just found your channel last night and became a new subscriber. You speak the truth. I have observed the dummying down of society throughout my life. Sometimes it can be dangerous to disagree people who are ignorant. The jab leads to the slab. Others shun books but we're avid readers in my home. I'm grateful to connect with others who feel this way. Thank you for your important efforts.
Thank you for sharing your love of nature, your calming insight, and for echoing the thoughts of many. I feel like you are the calm in my storm.
I'm in the US, a beautiful country, also, but I feel like it's crumbling in front of my eyes. I'm 65, and I feel so helpless and scared for our children.
You give me hope. Thank you...

My dad called this phenomenon 'The triumph of mediocrity.' :o)
I watched one video and subscribed immediately. This is so refreshing.
It's childlike curiosity and it's a wonderful thing. I had and have A LOT of it. Got mocked and chastised all my life for it. Am now 60 and glad I never lost it. I use every opportunity to foster it in my grandchildren.
I get laughed at or treated to a 'how come you don't know how to use your phone and download apps' look because I only use the phone for texts and calls and I even go out and leave it at home, shock horror. But I can grow food including meat animals, sew just about anything and learning upholstery and boat canvas sewing, preserve food, light a fire, chop wood, do very basic wood work, sail a boat, and do a lot of small things that make life a bit easier and I don't freak out when the power goes out. I have a small group of friends and between us we have a pool of knowledge and we help each other. I try to feel sorry for the new stupid people who will perish in the face of the adversity that is coming but I can't really. the best I can do is avoid them as much as possible. I'm a Baby Boomer and my secret power is parents who lived through the Depression and knew how to survive with almost nothing. Love your channel and how you remind me that I will live through this madness by being aware and ready.
Yes, it is preparation on the inside that is most important.
Learning new skills is important and keeps life exciting.
Love your videos. You’re sharing what we’re all thinking.
Exactly.
ABSOLUTLY !!! One important key; as Ellen G. White or Orwell warn to us: Get out the cities.
Because is in the cities where are plagues will be apply. CDBS, 15 min cities,... its only the beginning
Far from the cities there will be much less control because the lacks of police and rules, and you will have more freedom, more life healthy abd quality in the next SADLY years.
"Theory of idiocy" Detriech Bonhoeffer. Short video on Utube. He was martyred by the Nazis. He said people become impervious to facts. I found it during Covid. It explained so much.
There is science and scientism. Scientism, it seems to me is the politicisation of "science".
Thank you. Very much agree with what you say
Yep. You’ll see propagandists like Neil DeGasse Tyson and Bill Nye beating the drum to “keep politics out of science”- an admirable goal, if taken at face value- but are wholly uninterested in science when there’s nothing of public policy involved. What they mean is to keep _opposing views_ out of science, which is anathema to the spirit of scientific investigation.
Celebrating stupidity and celebrities who contribute next to nothing is a war against the capable and self-sufficient... These people are not my heroes, they're not even people I care about. I grew up celebrating people like Dick Proneke (sp? The guy who built a cabin in Alaska and lived off grid theres a great old documentary on him) and people like my Dad... men who learned by doing and took their own lives into their own hands. Loosing my Dad was heartbreaking but Im so proud of the man he was and Im confident in the man he taught me to be.
I agree we should continually educate ourselves. At the same time we should always find a balance between “trusting the experts” and trusting our experiences. I believe this was once referred to as critical thinking and was summarized in “question everything you hear and know.”
