Stories reach back into ‘history’ with affirming elements that underpin our here and now. Some of these stories are ingrained. Some are abstract reminders of stories once learned or remembered. An overwhelming majority of stories are completely unknown. From myths to tales, rumors and narratives, to news, and beyond a nearly infinite number of storylines go on with their own features without ever cracking the surface of greater awareness. Even stories that are well rehearsed and known have back-stories, satellites, and tangents that are emphasized, obscured, deleted, or distorted according to the will of the teller. Each one has a quantum reality associated with it. So, when some regurgitation is taking place of storylines we are not allowed to forget, a monocular reinforcement is happening. The metaphysic of the moment is chiseled into a grain of understanding that has a purpose for the ones doing the chiseling. This effect on perception reaches all the way into the main frame of genesis. The evolution of understanding very much appears to have atrophy. Critical thought, in vast areas, has been supplanted by untested quasi-cultural icons of, “I told you so.” How does an intelligent race make it from the discourse of Plato to not even knowing who Plato is? That’s just one example of how distantly detached from the rudiments understanding that can happen. This is an abstract cultural dusk. It is fascinating to witness. It’s also inviting a big time awakening. There’s likely to come a point at which Tesla is more about Nikola than an EV.
