‘‘What is possible would never have been possible if our forebears had not reached for the impossible.”

Culture and literacy are in danger of succumbing totally to what are nothing more than noisy diversions and empty expressions worn out through overuse and excessive familiarity. We are infected by fantasy, by a cacophony of exaggerated illusory spectacles – a literal circus being spewed out over the airwaves in endless cycles.
Much of life is in danger of becoming focussed with celebrity worship, to education that is primarily vocational. Classical artists and historical scholars alike are in danger of becoming despised. Fewer people now are reading books.
Thought itself is in danger of being banished so to ensure the sleepwalking and made timid peasants, who in their mindless servitude, value utter drivel.
There are the imbecilic utterings of cultures constantly being tweeted and retreated in soundbites ad nauseum, ad infinitum.
Unless we do something about it.

This aspect of the New Mind War is more than a connecting with history, it should not be considered as only about the history that the ones in power, the elite structure of which we are a part, want all to remember.
Much of thought is now dominated by the banal, the trivial disinterest in scholarship and the obsession with ‘data collection.’ It is adding up to a fear that using our intelligence to further our collective moral ends is somehow improper.
As stated, we are not merely buttressing the ruling social structure, producing heavy tones upon ruling elites, upon ourselves as included in that elite structure and while ignoring the underlying social forces that have been the engine of social change.
Neither do we mask ‘inconvenient facts that tarnish’, we are not mere apologists for the past recreated into something else. We are not lies typical of the mass-media.
.
>> We must discern the fullness of our past against those forces coming from without and indeed, from those within who revolt against it. <<
.
We tell ourselves about ourselves, we are telling you – this is not an uncompromising light, not at all, it is a past that informs of what is of endless value, to deeply suffuse into the present collective mind.
What is the present when indeed, the present is immediately the past?
We are not manipulating facts. Within the New Mind War are verifiable facts (facts, it has to be acknowledged, can indeed be spun anyway one wants). We are not inventors, not romanticists writing stories.
We do acknowledge that indeed, history is often the creating of history, the narrative often being the product of someone’s fertile imagination. We refer to how facts are woven together, the choosing of what is a fact – many different interpretations are out there. This is not useful.
People have preconceptions, have different ideas of what is important and consequentially glue the history to their own interests, the interests of their own time. As a result coming up with a great deal of different historical interpretations.
Is writing of history grounded in the moment? One might ponder; a response to the contemporary moment? An engaging in ‘creative forgetfulness’ (Nietzsche). That this amnesia best describing the stance? Is it what we omit that so much shapes the perceptions of self? The answer is in certain instances yes, but not herein, it is not a part of our intention.
The monuments that we draw attention to and what they say, do project in full the history of our era, the ethos of our era, the substance of the collective mind. Deifications of expansion – so be it.
What has transpired since is an attack via all manner of electronic media, by mythology, the real story being quite different. This is a subordinating of history into one. What we have to do with this is deconstruct what is pure mythology and replace it with what is not, this being the New Mind War.
History that does not assist in the understanding and valuing of our present time is inadequate at best and more often useless.
If one adheres to what is just myth, one cannot understand the present. There is no insight so to do.
We are not appealing to one single part of society in this.
According to Nietzsche, what it means to write is basically comprising of; the monumental, the antiquarian and the critical.
The monumental is history that glorifies the nation state, which indeed, is represented in monuments. Most nations require a set of myths to justify their existence. We do not require myths, because we are not myth. It is possible (and easy) to take myths apart, to undermine the legitimacy of a nation, but such is not the objective here.
The antiquarian history is rooted in things of personal nature, not so much of the historical context.
The critical is history that which judges and condemns, in other words history that takes a moral stance. It does not only relate to facts but tells of what is supposedly ‘’good’’ and ‘’evil’’. Here is where many stand in regard to all of the important issues of our history.
About the content of our character, the engineers of the New Mind War – we need not be seen as somehow ‘utopian social reformers’ (nor indeed as being ‘fanatical impractical), because it is unnecessary so to do.
As said above, what is possible would never have been possible if our forebears had not asked for the impossible.
There is a mutual connection between demand and practical implementation that we do look for.
We do not adhere to the tenet that we have somehow reached the end of history, that there is nothing more to debate, nothing to add in concluding the best form of society. This view is wrong. We have the incalculable to add.
In reality, we can say that there is little that is viable which has arrived to take the place of the Pax Britannia.
The search for non-existent objectivity has led to a retrogressive subjectivity, that of the bystander. The non-descript – we condemn this condition.
One should at the least have an open mind, not an empty one. There is much to fill the mind with.
Everyone carries preoccupations with them, but when one encounters evidence and questions certain of these assumptions – one should develop an open mind in encounters with evidence, with fact.
The key issue.
We, as servants of the Crown, have an obligation to say;
.
“We have studied this fully. Here, is our conclusion.”
