Beyond the Intoxicants of Destruction

Ever wonder why so many charlatans and fools seem to be running the world? 

Largely, it comes as a result of there being a lack of people with significant visions. In the last hundred years, a few major competing visions of humanity’s horizons have been brought forth and have all largely failed. In the last 30 years, no significant new vision has emerged, and no pre-existing ones could fill the challenges of the emerging conditions. But people remain hungry for visionaries, so any fraud claiming they are one can simply fill the void. Some begin in earnest, but in time mendacity and profiteering dominate the manipulation of their audience’s parasocial capacities and need for a greater sense of access. They offer “the intoxicant of destruction,” as mentioned in the Ninth Part of the Word of Set, which in turn feeds “The Tree in the North” of the Tenth Part.

In such a circumstance, where pre-existing visions are wanting and the “visionaries” of your time are mendacious frauds, the only option, whether you like it or not, is to become a visionary in your own right.
