Forgotten Truth

Briefing

This writing will not be a full descriptive essay as my two previous essays, it will be an outpouring of my thoughts and concerns. Now, if you look at the title of this complaint, it says “Forgotten Truth”, now the “Truth” part is already covered in the previous essay on the universal truth. Here I will describe the “Forgotten” part, that is how the world has forgotten the truth, abandoned it, and has set itself towards a path of utmost destruction. Now since this writing will be more disorganized than even my rants on atheism and religion, I hope you are ready. Good luck.

Critique

So, my concerns actually originate from some peculiar chapters where Jesus just went on and on about suffering and judgement bla bla bla, all that eschatological mess. You got it, it’s the judgement day, I seriously find it weird how Jesus would describe it in such a diabolical and descriptive manner. That was before I fully immerse myself in the truth, and at that time, I realized everything. Judgement day, or at least the suffering preceeding it is not some sort of punishment from God for our sins, after all good guy JC took the punishment for it. So what’s with the suffering?

You see, the suffering caused will be a natural consequence of our world’s flawed system. Wait, what?? So are we serious that the world is controlled by capitalist patriarchs and we must revolt bla bla bla?? Well, that is in the right direction, but without a logical argument, that’s just plain conspiracy theory, which I seriously don’t like. So, why is it that the world will descend into chaos and suffering? It is simple, let’s talk about logic for a bit. You see, if a statement is aligned with reality, it will never cause any contradictions or conflict, which means it will always be jolly fine. However, if a statement is false, aka contradicting with reality, well no matter how you try to mask into the truth, in time, the statement will contradict with reality, and break down entirely. This statement breakdown is fine if it’s only theoretical. But what if you manifest that rubbish statement into reality? Hohoho, well you’re just asking for trouble mate.

People think that the current system of democracy in the Western world is the best system ever. Well of course, since it has “liberated” many people in the third world as well, and it has turned our society into the best version of the world ever! Yea sure there’s poverty and so on, but that’s the fault of the poor right? Oh, and it’s also because of terrorism and socialism, they’re the cause of the world’s sufferings! Meanwhile, the capitalist  free democracy of the Western world is our only hope against the evils of communism and fascism of the radical Islamists! Not to mention that everyone is equal and we must tolerate and accept every ideology ever, because we live in a  dictatorship democracy run by the  capitalists and the bureaucrats people, right right?? And if you disagree, we’ll call you a communist anti free speech fascist and make your life so hard, that we’ll feel pity over you and we will make you rest in peace!

Huff, fine enough sarcasm, let’s get serious. Now, imagine the faulty statement is implemented into reality, which it does in the form of capitalism and materialism, and we create a global political economical social and moral system based on that faulty statement, guess what will happen? I believe the answer is obvious, at one point the system will break down and create mass chaos. Well, the system today has never broke down and caused mass destruction right? RIGHT? I wonder about that. I seriously wonder. Maybe all of you are forgetting the great depression? Or perhaps the two world wars in the bloodied 20th century? And wasn’t there some recessions already in the 21st century?

And I won’t even start on my own country, Indonesia is seriously having some problems with the Islamists, and everything is teetering on a fine balance. Don’t get me wrong, president Jokowi is a very good president doing everything that he could to help us, the people. However, there are too much enemies, and that is why he can’t make large breakthroughs, because the revolution, must come from us, the people. The problems of Indonesia itself is not caused by Jokowi or Ahok, but it’s the system itself. The system is contradictive with the basic nature of reality, which is why it causes problems, such as free sex, suicide, radicalism, atheism, materialism, and so and so. Which means if a system is truly based on the truth, no problems should emerge. But since it’s obvious that there are problems, it means the system is not based on the truth. Wait, did I hear something, oh God! It’s the scream of capitalist spies liberals saying, “PEOPLE ARE FLAWED THERE IS NO PERFECT SYSTEM ALL SYSTEMS HAVE FLAWS BUT WESTERN CAPITALIST FREE DEMOCRACY IS THE BEST FREEEEEDDDOOOOOOMMMMMM!!”

Now now, I don’t accept that kind of bullshit. After all, to say that there is no such thing as perfection is the same as saying that there is no such thing as the truth. After all, truth is the very definition of perfection. Something is perfect if it is aligned with the truth, meaning it does not contradict with reality. And I have personally written out what would happen if the truth doesn’t exist, read my essay and if you seriously still think I am a madman, then do prove that I a madman, please. So, a perfect system does exist, and it is possible to implement, it’s just not easy, but certainly reachable, after all, we are all fragments of God, right? Regardless, I am not going to comment on how the perfect system is, because I have made it, what I want to discuss actually is evidence that everyone is high on a very addictive drug known as the material world.

Evidence

Okay, I get it, this evidence is technically my observations, and yes say whatever you want people that it is unreliable and so and so whatever. You don’t believe it? Well that’s your choice, if you wish to ignore the glaring contradictions of this world, go ahead, that’s your choice. Anyway, my first case is actually close to home. You see, in Indonesia, the education in Senior High is specialized into IPA, or natural sciences, and IPS, social sciences. You see, there is a disturbing, a VERY  disturbing trend in this matter. In the lower levels, students study both natural and social studies. And since I just graduated out of junior high, I am witness to whatever happens in my school.

You see, social studies and natural sciences are not on the same degree, while the teachers insist that both sectors have equal oppoturnity and so and so, which I must agree, the reality is just bitter. Because no matter how you look at it, social studies is technically treated as somewhat inferior to natural sciences. If you get a high score in social studies, it’s practically normal, but if you score high in natural sciences, you are an actual genius. Of course, I’m not putting blame on anyone, but if some people finds my writing offensive, go ahead, I don’t really care anyway. Regardless, this is even obvious when you ask people on which major in senior high do they wish to take, natural or social sciences, most would answer natural sciences, and it’s true. But why?

You see, my opinion is that natural sciences, or materialism is just so much more appealing than social sciences. Because even those who joined the social studies would prefer the business section, which in the end is capitalist dream. Why the hell is this? You see, in both studies, or in any study at all, you should have a basis, that is a truth that becomes the basis of that study. Now, the basis of natural science is simple, you simply observe the world, if needed with instruments, record it, and create conclusions. That is the core of the scientific method. Now I am not discrediting natural science, it certainly is helpful and beneficial, and has progressed the world very far. But what I mean is, the crux of natural science, or at least traditional materialist naturals science, is that reality is as our senses interpret it. Which means we don’t even need to doubt ourselves. This policy of not doubting ourselves has created a society of people that would break down if they doubt themselves. And thus we move to social sciences.

Social sciences is basically the study of humans, and their interactions, it is practically just social anthropology in fact. Now, to do this, you must discover the essential nature of humanity. The problem is, while it exists, very few people are hardwilled or strongwilled enough to actually doubt theirselves. Or even doubt the existence of their loved ones, because that radical skepticism is actually required so we can prove the existence and the content of the essence of humanity, that is the truth. But wait, isn’t the idea of doubting and finding the truth a philosophical issue? And not a social anthropological issue? That’s the point, the whole point of philosophy is to constantly criticize anything, until you find you can’t criticize because if you do it would just stab you in the back. And look, realistically, there hasn’t been genuine consensus in philosophy, just like the lack of consensus in social sciences. It’s just that, social studies are much more exhaustive in mental strength, as if you’re not willing to accept the probability that you may be alone in this world bla bla bla, you will have a hard time doing anything. Because how can you understand the social interactions and structures of the world if you don’t even understand the basic core truths of that matter?

Philosophy used to be allied with natural sciences and somewhat against social sciences, but now, philosophy is a core aspect of social sciences. However, for a person to be interested in philosophy, they must be equipped with the skill of doubt and critical analysis, and an unwavering commitment to the truth. And this brings us, to the students. You see, in my observations of my colleagues, I have seen that many of them doesn’t really have a set goal, like some may have passions for their talents, but in the end, if you question them hard enough, they won’t be able to give you an answer on the core truth. Now they are not to fault there, after all the system made them unable to have strong willed principles for the truth. And thus they are directed towards easier and more guaranteed paths, the material path, gain wealth, give wealth, and be good, without questioning the meaning of those paths. Basically, the system naturally inhibits the formation of individuals that actually has an unwavering commitment to the truth.

Basically, a path to find the truth and commit to it is dangerous business. As it will in then cause unstability and conflict. Though all for the better. As it is, our society and systems are more interested in creating a stabile society focused on materialism rather than progress or the truth itself. After all we live in a post truth world. Of course, if anyone with an unwavering commitment to the truth attempts to dismantle the system, the system would then identify them as fanatical radicals, equate them with hardcore fascists or Islamists, and perhaps be charged with trying to break apart  the nation. But look, no matter what, a contradictive system can never be stabile, the materialists will in the end regret it, over and over again. Regardless, that’s how it is today.

Now, atheism. Oh boy, if I share this in the dark corners of the internet, I am sure to trigger many edgy atheist fanboys who thinks they are intellectually superior to the world by denying the truth. They say that the belief in God is harmful, well let me tell you what, it is their belief that is harmful, don’t believe me? I’ll show you. SO, if a system is faulty, why is our system still running? What the hell is preventing a mass revolution of the proletariat against the edgy materialists at the top? In fact, why is everyone still acting moral as if there is morality in the first place? Why is there still people that vehemently abstains from free unguided sex parties, or dangerous drug trades, or excessive use of alcohol? What is the fine thread that the society hangs on? What is it? Just what?

I’ll tell you, it’s GOD, that’s right, GOD, the same entity that is called out as evil and genocidal and immoral, described as ridiculous by atheists! When do you realize, that the concept of God, is the only thread of truth, preventing everyone from descending into eternal chaos. The belief that there is a higher truth than mere materialism, that is the reason why society is not dead yet. Oh, and what about the atheist nations? Such as the Scandinavians? Aren’t they the happiest people on earth? Huff, I wonder about that. Well look, the data is pretty sketchy in my opinion. But in these situations, the only option is to compare with the truth, is it how it is? And happiness here probably means material happiness. Regardless, I am sure, if everyone is made atheist suddenly, you know what will happen? World War 3, and well it’s coming really. So, get ready folks. And I guess I’m done for now, as this is really depressive, have a nice day and see you later.
