THE ROBERT W. WHITAKER ARCHIVE

DAVE ON THE SIXTIES CADRE | 2007-12-05

I am currently on a mortified watch of the Baby Generation's wholesale drift into senility. It really is quite horrifying, watching it as I am in real time.

BW has said, "All I want before I die is to produce a group of clear thinkers".

That turns my mind to how extraordinary this small group of participants here are. If you dispute that, you just don't have a handle on the run of the (deteriorating) minds out there, especially the rapidly "going out of it" minds of the Baby Boomers.

The "Greatest Generation" is already completely "out if it", the few that are still alive, that is.

In contrast here in this seminar, we have people like Alan B. coming up with these absolutely fabulous phrases such as "Mommy Professor's talking dolls" and "Complexity obscures the obvious" and AFKAN making comments such as "They draw the lines and then paint within them", and Mark saying, "Those who own the present own the Future. Those who own the present NEVER have any serious relationship to what is really going to happen", and BW saying things like, "What creates the future is always little noticed".

Then there is Mperdling, Hardric, Simmons, Shari, Danebor, Pain and the all the rest, with their wonderful posts, posts of first class minds.

It just doesn't get any better than this.

Which brings us back BW's desire, "All I need is to develop a group of clear thinkers before I die".

There is nothing more important than that, which why BW's writings and audio are so important.

I see the horrifying process of the Baby Boom generation's wholesale descent into senility every day. The very nature of senility is that the "aged mind" has no awareness of its own calcification. Now, there are many extraordinary individuals, such as BW, that never go down that road. But the fact is, most do.

"Whomsoever He (God) causes to live long, He reduces to an abject state in constitution".

As I watch in real time the Baby Boomers wholesale descent into senility, I am truly horrified as to the political implications. These people were victims of the public school system and Mommy Professor to begin with. Most of them think, "With time, progress continues and justice triumphs". A sentiment perfectly suited to spoiled nitwits, who lived long but know nothing of the real world, a world where the essence of things is the perfect absence of justice, not its presence.

Accordingly, the picture ain't pretty.
