Human beings acquire most of their knowledge second hand, especially in the socalled civilised part of the world. Parents, teachers and lectorers transfer bits of cultural standards and habits to the growing up, bosses and experts appearing in the media dominate in shaping the opinion of adults about the rest of the world.

Most education institution focus on nourishing crystallized intelligence, and neglect fluid intelligence. Students become living databases for an endless pool of factual information. The lack of encouragement of acquiring problem solving skills leads to an intellectual dependency on persons of authority.

But who knows how to distinguish a person of authority from an impostor? Does authority exists in an Einsteinian universe of relativity, where Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and quantum mechanics render certainty into mere probability?

Advances in technology seem to indicate the existence of some experts, which have sufficient authority in their field to evolve it further. Although technology contributed to the raise of the living standard, it endangers and destroys the environment and human lives when deployed in wars.

Persons of authority exist, but not all work on the side of good vs the evil of the week. And unless they received media training or qualify as media whore, experts rather spend their time with more important things than sound biting the hungry press.

Identifying an impostor requires common sense, background research and time. If you assume a 50% chance that a person of authority follows his own or his interest groups agenda, you can exercise to filter inputs to your mind instead of committing media hearsay as fact to memory.

However, chasing disinformation does not lead to find useful information. Everyone got stuck in the same trap: righteous experts, those who just claim expertise, those who dont give a damn and the information recipients.

Some aspects of our society hardly ever get questioned or thoroughly analysed. Most citizens assume that the government (at least in a democracy) will not harm, hurt or even kill their people. But hardly anyone discusses whether government is necessary at all.

The links between government and the global monetary systems miss the spot light as well. Consider money as a way of trading energy, and you might understand that the current system is designed to accumulate most of this energy in the hands of the chosen few that run the central banks.

The global monetary system acts as backbone for a parasitic caste of bureaucrats, who can survive drastic changes in national leadership with ease. Bureausites care primarily about the maintenance of their unjustified privileged position and establish therefore a variety of networks.

The next posting will continue to unveil the bad habits of trusting governments and the global monetary system.
