If you ask a charlatan what they truly fear, they will always name someone who learned on their own. It is because when you are self-educated then you can’t be sold bullshit or garbage under the pretext of nationalism, religion, spirituality or whatsoever. Think back to the era before the study of chemistry began. If someone saw a green fire flame, they would likely soil their pants, terrified, and scream, “Oooo, Baba Yaga,, witch”. However, if someone states that today; he is a loser because he skipped chemistry classes. It is because certain elements upon combustion give those colours, and that is the whole point of fireworks and crackers. Similarly, when you educate yourself, you can very well distinguish what is real and what is bullshit in spirituality and religion. And if you can’t do that your education is useless irrespective of the Ivy League degrees or anything equivalent. The more you ignore this nonsense, the more it will impact you. It is because you are giving silent support to scammers. And when there is no one left to scam, they will come for you. It would be too late then. The focus on clout chasing has caused irreversible damage to the community. And yes, they have become the biggest, albeit the CLOWN. One is saving soil, another is selling meditation in war, another loser hopping from one place to another preaching Ishwar whereas he himself failed every ounce of test of humanity. Public health is endangered by mushroom psychologists who themselves need therapy but still hold licenses to practise. With more advancements in AI, it will become difficult to discern between what is real and what is not. Your only bet is self-knowledge, if you don’t adapt now, you will not survive. The sign of a weak economy is not the numbers in GDP but the number of scammers coming out. If there are too much of scammers, that means the economy is not doing well else they all would have been employed. To put food on the table, people go to extreme lengths, they become like animals, snatch food from others' tables. And the law of nature says humans thrive, but animals get culled. Those who can't adapt perish. The ego and arrogance of age sometimes clouds judgement because a scam that has been going on for more than three decades will find itself very comfortable but when the ego surrenders, humility seeps in, the music is extremely clear.
