And yet, socialism is all the rage in all of the West and even going further than it ever did as its supporters believe they can destroy human nature itself and replace it with AI and brain implants and create their always hoped for but ridiculous utopia by making humans digitally controlled.
Right. I think transhumanism certainly is linked to socialism and the related view of a human being as a mere machine--a machine that can be "upgraded" by the technocrats.
Great article, Walker. The ideas that you are rejecting here--that human beings are products of a larger system with no free will--remind me of these "progressive" DAs that George Soros has been installing across the country. They operate on the principle that unjust systems breed crime, not the deliberate intent of the criminal. So they work on reducing penalties for crime, to undermine the criminal justice system, because this, to them, is the true problem.
They need a certain amount of crime to upset order so chaos ensues. They need chaos to upset the ability of people to function normally and also convince them that only top down government control can end the chaos.

Yes, that's a great connection to make. I hadn't thought of that.

I also think it might lower property values, then they swoop in and buy up entire neighborhoods for dirt cheap.
Oh you can bet that every problem they create they find some way to benefit from it.
Thank you for stirring up memories of one of my favorite authors; long ago appreciated, and clearly informing our culture today.
