In broader terms, this is an allegory for dogma vs empirical discovery. We need dogma to establish beneficial norms and behaviors, without the need for everyone to constantly be searching for and making the same empirical discoveries. It is also true that the human spirit tends to instinctively revolt against all dogma at some point.
What is troubling right now is that we have this instinctive revolt against well-founded secular dogmas, such as "Vaccines are good", "Nazis were bad, Hitler was Satan", "Global warming is real"... I get the natural human drive to reject dogma, but these rejections are empirically wrong. I don't have a solution, just an observation and concern.
Wonderful analysis. When the world order changes most can't believe it until their world is no longer the same. Kissinger was a one of a kind. On today's stage, he has no contemporaries. in my opinion
Superb observation but at the moment no one at the world stage has fully understand the change happening and going to happen in next decade...hence it's chaotic world right now
Beautifully written!

Second post I've read and I'm even more impressed. Understanding Spinoza is a solid indication of understanding the world. The writing is superb.

I will repeat this in my course on Change Management. Thank you Zineb. - Billy
