In part one I talked about the proliferation of bad (false) that dominate western culture. These false ideas (any false idea) cannot possibly lead to success, only to failure and suffering.

My focus here today is to identify more of the fundamental ideas that shape our thinking, our values, our choices and the way we live, that are false, and to explain why they are false. It is these false ideas that are most dangerous because they have the widest impact across all of our thinking. Ayn Rand taught me the importance of getting to the fundamentals in one’s thinking. And this is how I know these ideas are false. Addressing fundamentals is the only way to get to the root cause of truth or falsity, or of any problem.

The science of fundamental ideas is called philosophy. Since this topic is totally out of fashion it is not surprising that awareness of these dangerous false fundamental ideas is extremely low! And the reason it’s out of fashion is because it has long been corrupted with false ideas, so much so that mainstream philosophical ‘truths’ are just like the claims of false flag terrorism or the false claims of the medical cartel – all nonsense.

In the current context of 2022 human political freedom is fast being lost. For those of us conscious enough to be aware of this much, it is crucial to grasp that the battle for human freedom must be played out in the realm of ideas, and fundamental ideas at that!

It is only in the intellectual realm, the world of ideas that we can rationally argue for truth and argue for what is right. It is only through persuasion and by offering reasons that minds can be changed, if they can be changed at all. If the battle for human freedom is ever to be won, it will be achieved by the use of reasoned argument, with facts, evidence proof and logic.

It is in the realm of the intellect, that we must offer reasons and facts that expose the deliberate deception. This cannot be done by protests, or marches, or shouting, or fighting – only by presenting ideas logically, rationally, and offering proof of their truth and validity. And by exposing false ideas and the contradictions that demonstrate their falsity.

Today, people are not controlled directly by others; they are controlled by the ideas they are fooled into believing are true! It is the ideas people hold as true that determine their values and their behaviour.

Identifying the false first

In part one I mentioned that it is easier to identify a false idea than to prove an idea is true. All it takes is for one contradiction to be identified and the idea is falsified. An idea is false if it is contradicted by already known facts. This necessarily includes the self-evident right down at the everyday level. So using the example of germ theory, if you spend intimate time with someone who is sick and you don’t get sick, then this contradicts germ theory. It shows that there must be other factors involved. If 100 volunteers are deliberately exposed to ‘germs’ from sick people and none of them get sick, this is strong evidence that germ theory is wrong. Experiments such as these were done 100 years ago.

I have also observed that most truth seekers will eagerly identify a false idea ‘out there’ in the Matrix, but they might be extremely unlikely (and perhaps reluctant) to notice one already embedded in their thinking. Once they own it to a significant degree, it seems, they begin to identify with it, and may become very reluctant to question it. If an idea has been cherished for a long time, challenging it is more likely to be met with inner resistance. However, this is precisely where the root cause false ideas lurk, and remain hidden – in our deepest premises, fundamental assumptions, in one’s mental operating system. And it is because they remain unquestioned by the masses that these are the most powerful and dangerous ideas.
