We have to "Re-Learn" This??
Drucker, 30 years ago, explained a major Role for Religions; as the SOURCE, and CONTROL, of ALL "Knowledge". Those of us who know about Ptolemy, Galileo, and Copernicus, know how well that "knowledge" has often proved to be! Religions also are the SOURCE and Distributor of Superstitions, Prejudices, and mass hatreds. People have, throughout History, lived in TERROR of Religion, and its Purveyors. Commonly known as Priests, Rabbis, and other religious officials; Modern History has witnessed Monstrous applications of Religion, by Government Officials; most notably in Germany during Hitler's Rise.
Modern History also has witnessed a yawning GAP between Socio-economic Progress and Technological Advances. That GAP grows dangerously wider as many Applications of Cold War Technology Advances are falling into the hands of violent, and backward, Religious Groups and Factions in many places in our World! TRUMP, and his backers have brought this awareness to sharper focus, as Politicians, in many countries, take up the cudgel of religiously-tainted hatreds. We shudder to think what might have happened, had Hitler and his Nazis NOT driven technically-brilliant Jews out of their country, and to the United States! What would have been the fate of mankind, had Hitler's forces WON the race to develop Nuclear Weapons? We tend to think of all Technological Advances as beneficial to Man-kind! Technological Advances in both written and televised MEDIA is NOT working to benefit all of Man-kind! We do our selves, and our children, a tremendous disservice, when we blindly expect technology break-throughs to be uniformly "good"!
Amoral and Immoral Politicians can be expected to use anything, and, everything at their command to increase their POWER and to WIN their aggressive pursuits. We are now witnessing deliberate political extermination of all Politicians who possess some moral sense, by those Politicians of more- questionable morals! Religion steps in to blur and confuse those of us who seek Truth, Honesty, and Accountability from Politicians.
Stay Vigilant! Religion depends on Ignorance and Hatred to thrive! So do practitioners of Amoral and Immoral Politics. "Anything to WIN". and "Winner-Take-All" can be prescriptions for Mass Suicide! Who is "teaching" YOUR kids? WHAT are they "learning"?
