Margin of safety

Society always believes that it should live and live correctly, in accordance with the fundamental laws of the universe. And as long as it lives right, it will benefit, including its daily bread. There is something childish in this conviction - "if I behave well, mom will give you candy." This is human psychology.

Many times Russia was publicly forced to take off her trousers and bow and repent in front of the whole world. Now the time has come when humiliated Russia will take up the sword and gather her sons, and choose her path once and for all.

The era of the ended XX century and the beginning of the XXI century, experienced by humanity, are the era of judgment and collapse. All nations, without exception, go to court, some earlier, others later. Collapse threatens each of them.

The prophetic words that we are all subject to the judgment of the eternal living fire - of course, spiritual fire, scorching, purifying and renewing - come true. And we, Russian, direct descendants of the Etruscans, Scythians, should not lose heart and not be faint-hearted, but firmly believe in the Russian Gods and faithfully serve our motherland, Russia - Russia, from which this spiritual-fiery scorching, purification and renewal of the world of mankind began …

So what is happening to us? We will get a definite answer by reading the works of Russian literature of the 1970s, such as the novel (narration in stories) “The Tsar Fish” by Viktor Astafiev, “Fire” by Valentin Rasputin, “Plakh” by Chingiz Aitmatov, stories by Vasily Shukshin, publicist Alexander Skalon. We will not give an analysis of these works here, but in each of them we see a clash of human spirituality with immorality, fullness of spirit with emptiness, truth with lies, and “human ecology” is truly merged here with earthly global problems.

"Actually, why are we dying?" - Asked in 1917 (two years before his death by starvation) Vasily Vasilyevich Rozanov, huddled in Sergiev Posad. He noted the amazing ease with which our people recognized the ideas of atheism and socialism, discarding (“just went to the bathhouse!”) The old faith, the concept of sin, conscience … We are dying of the only and fundamental reason - disrespect for ourselves. We, in fact, self-destruct …

The tendencies of conquest and domination over nature, by man, were replaced by new views, when the motives of repentance and regret come to the fore with the first attempts to comprehend the need for creation not to the detriment of nature. Publicists and writers, undoubtedly, succeeded better than our scientists in reflecting both the external side of the evolution of nature management and the deep processes of the deepening discord between nature and society.

In their book: Harmony of Chaos, or Fractal Reality, the authors V. Yu. Tikhoplav, T. S. Tikhoplav tell.

“… It is impossible to convey the regret and pain of the fact that some scientists too often remain completely indifferent to unusual discoveries. It may be wiser to spend money on "unnecessary" research from the point of view of the orthodox than to "throw a child in the trash with soapy water." The same number of amazing developments have passed by indifferent scientists who have dug in their "trench", covered themselves with pillows and care only about preserving their privileges and their name. And most importantly, orthodox scientists are not just indifferent to new knowledge, they intensively hinder its development.

As Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky wrote: “Old hypotheses are constantly rejected and science is being improved. And scientists always prevent this most of all, because they lose and suffer the most from this alteration”. This is exactly what Gumilyov said about them: “As a dog, he must protect the name created for years”. Do they really not understand that the descendants will figure out all their cunning and meanness (and maybe nonsense) in the fight against pseudoscience, put everything in its place, giving everyone their due.

It remains only to remember Omar Khayyam:

If suddenly grace descended on you, You can give everything that you have for the truth.

But holy man, don't be angry

On the one who does not want to suffer for the truth!

There is no anger, there is regret! What a great happiness that there are scientists who can “give everything that they have for the truth”. After all, it is thanks to them, their selfless work that we all owe the knowledge that they have acquired, wading through the hooting crowd of “brothers” - the orthodox. Through thorns to the stars, to the Gods of the Rusich Slavs! …”.

People involuntarily ask the question: what happened after all? Some are trying to understand: what did they do wrong? Others: what has always been wrong? Still others come to the conclusion that there is nothing particularly good in the world at all, there is nothing to count on, and the world is ruled by evil and Satan. When a crisis of nature and society begins, a frightened, rushing society faces a choice of four perspectives. One, it would seem, is the simplest: to learn how to get more food from the same land. But it is precisely this perspective that requires a tough rethinking of the entire previous path traversed by society. And the search for a new path. One in which there will be new answers to the most basic questions: who am I? How does the world work? Where are the boundaries of what is permitted? This is a search for a new harmony with the surrounding world. Harmony, in which you can get the most of what you need from the same area of land. For example, this was the case in the transition from slash-and-burn farming to regular three-field, and then to multi-field. When it became necessary to live in crowded villages, cultivate the same field. For a long time, this progress was painted in pink colors: as finding new opportunities, solving problems, and so on. But there was also another side of progress, terrible and ugly.

Not everyone is able to move to a new worldview, to a new way of life. It's good if you can run to the sparsely populated, resource-rich east. And if there is already nowhere? Then die? Incidentally, some tribes of South American Indians have chosen this path. Life left them only two choices: the transition to agriculture or death. And the tribes chose death. We sat down in the village square. Bringing small children with them, they sat more closely, snuggling, to each other, while they had strength - they sang songs. And they died. Only the Indians died in the 19th century, in front of European travelers, and our ancestors, the Scythians-Slavs, became farmers, abandoning slash-and-burn agriculture. Dirt, cruelty and blood have long been forgotten, a radiant spectacle of progress, an ascent to more perfect forms of life, remains.

There is always a price for progress - giving up some part of your culture. And therefore progress is not only a path of gains, but of inevitable losses. We will never know what we have lost with slash-and-burn farming, at least not until the end. If people do not consciously understand this, then, in any case, they feel the duality of progress, even the most necessary. Frankly speaking, society does not like development very much, because to develop means to change. And the changes are unpredictable both for society as a whole and for its individual members. No one knows what will happen to him personally, to his children and grandchildren, to his social circle, to people who are psychologically similar to him, if changes begin. People do not like development, fraught with unpredictable changes. If there is even the slightest chance of avoiding development, society seeks to avoid it. Or, if change is inevitable, keep it smaller. The less the changes, the more formal, the smaller, the better!

During the crisis of nature and society, there are still opportunities, in addition to development, to conquer a rich and cultured country and for some time to live at the expense of the ethnic group of this rich country. Only sooner or later the conquered country will shake off the conquerors, or assimilate them. As convincingly shown by Gumilev, the cause of the death of ethnic groups is the emergence of regimes of power (and the corresponding systems of views), parasitizing the ethnic group, like a cancerous tumor. The principle of existence of such regimes, called antisystems, is the principle of lies, i.e. lies in all conceivable forms, ranging from "modest silence" of meaningful information to outright disinformation, is becoming an inalienable attribute of power. I think that any of the readers can cite an almost unlimited number of examples of lies from the era of “communism”, and later the era of “Yeltsinism”.

The situation in Russia is aggravated by the fact that the technological revolution in the field of information to our society has appeared mainly in the form of technologies that allow manipulating the mass consciousness. So the degree of danger (and especially its sources) hanging over the existence of the Russian superethnos has no analogue in previous history. The authorities in Russia have defiled the word "democracy", that is, power is in the interests of the people, since under the slogans of democracy, power is established in the interests of a narrow group of people. This means that the anti-democracy regime has been implemented. Thus, an anti-system in the form of anti-democracy is functioning in Russia. The extinction of the country's population shows that this is a particularly dangerous version of an aggressive anti-system, which is not content with only maintaining its own existence, but is actually destroying the ethnos. Yes, you can live like that for a while! In this case, it is possible and not to solve any issues of the development of society. There is no need to abandon the legacy of the past of the past anti-system, the legacy of wise ancestors, to revise the “customary” norms of human life, no need to work harder or better than before. You can live for some more time as you are accustomed to, making only one effort so that the conquered country, contrary to expectations, does not free itself.

You can also settle in a geographic space, developing new lands. To do this, you need to have a large supply of free land, and such that you can move without changing the usual forms of management. Then, too, it is possible not to solve any pressing problems. Do you have little bread? Move in! This is how the tribes of the Indo-Aryans who conquered India moved along the land, but not in order to rob it (there was especially nothing to rob), but in order to settle and live in it. This is how the Boers acted in South Africa, leaving to live from the ocean coast to the rich savannah beyond the Vaal River. This is how the Germanic tribes settled in Scandinavia.

There is another way, it looks the most terrible of all, but it is also easier: it is necessary that there are fewer people. It is good if God himself sent a suitable epidemic or famine. How, for example, it became spacious in Europe after the plague pandemic in the XIV century! The possibility of the imminent Protestant coup, a radical change in religion, way of life and forms of human society has disappeared. And for some time there was no need to discover America! What a joy!

By the way, the example of Scandinavia shows very well how many ways to avoid development are combined. In the modern world, this is clearly seen in Russia, as the world community, not wanting to develop, frees up living space for itself, destroying the super-ethnos of the Slavs. If they succeed if they thoroughly conquer the large and rich country of Russia, the surplus population of Europe and the fattening America goes there, the problem is removed. And even if you don't succeed in conquering anyone, and alas, new countries are not found anymore, that's not bad either! For this there are wars that can be caused artificially, the fight against terrorism, religious war.

In today's Russia, there are millions of problems and unsolved problems that the government does not want and is unable to solve. The power, whose forces have already ended, which plunges Russia into the abyss of civil wars, contributes to the final disintegration of the state. It gives Siberia and the Far East to China, allows NATO to approach our borders. Allows oppression of the Russian people inside and outside Russia, advertising and spreading sects and other heresies alien to us. Continues reforms that only lead to further impoverishment of the people and the state.

It makes no sense to discuss what comes from an official. He draws in contrived questions into the discussion. He is famous for his professional ability to elude discussions on really important issues. Trying to justify his bread, he sings songs not about the main thing. Here and now. The progressive pedagogical and parental community of the country is engaged in polemics about the causes of the crisis in education and ways to overcome it. And what are the education officials concerned about at this time? Yes, different. There are a lot of plans. Moreover, they are extremely inconsistent, successfully failing one after another. Frightened by the ninth wave of juvenile delinquency, they vowed to turn the school towards the child and life - to humanize.

Since the results are deplorable from empty promises, they decided to end the idea of humanization. They began to squeeze a living little man into the Procrustean bed of the educational standard. Does not work. But what if a woman from YSU was placed in a dilapidated school hut? There is no money for repairs, but you can subscribe to a euro order, and at the same time borrow some money for modernization-profiling. And since teachers' salaries are symbolic, the idea arises to concentrate and circulate their money elsewhere. Just do business, transfer everyone to virtual districts and get the Order of Merit for the Fatherland for being close to the authorities right on the field of miracles … Did the fatherland ask us all? So it turns out: "Alas, friends, no matter how you sit down, you are not fit to teach!"

The reader has the right to ask: Why is the professional pedagogical community silent, all those who are able and should take an expert position in this crisis situation, to help shed light on the truth about the role of education in society? And the problem of most teachers is that they clearly lack a holistic philosophical understanding of the events taking place in the country and around the world. And no wonder. After all, they themselves went through school, a training conveyor that averages a personality, standardizes, teaches to be like everyone else. But he does not teach the main thing - life, the ability to swim against the tide.

First of all, one must clearly realize that education is a system-forming structure of society, the role of which is constantly increasing. Indeed, the main productive force in the post-industrial society has become science, which supplies modern technologies and ensures (thanks to fundamental research) outstripping technological progress. It is obvious that it is pointless to talk about science without a good education. It is no secret, for example, that after the defeat in World War II, Japan relied on education. And this policy has fully justified itself. A country with scarce natural resources has become one of the leaders of the world economy, producing goods, up to ninety percent, the value of which is an intellectual contribution. Therefore, it is no coincidence that Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Europe raised the issue of universal higher education.

Education, being one of the most important components of culture, also has an independent value for the individual and society. Without fear of repeating a banal truth, let us recall that the main goal of modern education is to teach how to learn, i.e. independently "extract" (find, process and assimilate) information. In light of the above, it is appropriate to note that the basis of the so-called middle class in developed Western countries is made up of engineers, doctors, lawyers, teachers, journalists, officers, managers, scientists …, in short, highly qualified specialists who live by their own labor and are able to regularly improve their qualifications.

Excessive actualization of the topic of competence, specialized training in the context of the "iconization" of the market just testifies to the colonial vector of the modernization of Russian education. Anyone who knows the history of the issue, it is clear that the root cause here is the order formulated by the European Union for education - for euphonious competences. This is where the main stumbling block is. Big business, having occupied the commanding heights in society, requires the education system to provide a market economy with a resigned labor force. Customers and performers are only concerned with the system of professional "cutting" of what has already grown. An amorphous population is easier to manipulate than a spiritualized people. These are the real motives behind the powerful strategy of big capital to change the consciousness of the indigenous population of Russians and Russian-speaking Russians.

At the heart of the pro-Western policy pursued through education are market ideas, a kind of icon of which is the myth about the effectiveness of market self-regulation. That this is a myth is not obvious only to the blind. In a situation where the ideology of the state breaks down, the idea of the need to devote one's life to serving big capital is being intensively introduced into the troubled public consciousness. And regarding the phenomenon of "iconization" of the market, it is permissible to refer to the opinion of the famous scientist Manuel Castells from the University of Berkeley (USA). He argues that reliance on the market's ability to self-regulate is completely unfounded. In connection with the processes of globalization of the world networks of information, production and sale, labor, no one can guarantee to predict and effectively manage the market element. Which is fraught with globalization of the entire spectrum of human problems. Modern information technologies are capable of optimizing economic management on a planetary scale. This will allow humanity to fulfill its lofty mission as a co-creator of the beautiful world with dignity. The case for the enlightenment of consciousness and the goodwill of politicians

So, the current rulers of the Russian state do not satisfy the state interests, and act in the interests of states whose expansion is directed against Russia. And if the government is anti-state and anti-people, then you cannot put up with it. Everything is an entrance for the implementation of mercenary mercantile plans of a handful of people, today and now, after me even a deluge …. Young people are dying, there are fewer people, problems can no longer be solved, it is not necessary to develop. Yes, Viking Age Scandinavia successfully avoided the "horrors" of development. Only later it did not help her much. Very soon the terrifying moment came when I had to change and change.

In the Slavic world, this moment had a specific opportunity not to develop, removing all the problems of overpopulation by simply moving people to still empty lands. Of course, this “East” has been moving and moving all the time, moving, does not stay in one place. It was only during “perestroika” that it artificially slowed down, and people began to drive away from future fertile lands, motivating the high cost and unprofitability of life there, and sometimes falsifying the country's imaginary poverty by refusing subsidized support of the eastern expanses of Russia.

A political party is always a part of the whole, a small part of all citizens, and only she herself knows this, and therefore calls herself a party (from the Latin “Pars” - part). But it encroaches on much more, on power in the state, on its seizure. She seeks to impose her private party program on the state, contrary to her sympathies and the wishes of all other citizens. By virtue of this alone, each party is a minority, imposing its will on the majority. And by virtue of this alone, any democratic system should have allowed some coalition governments, which would have to find a saving compromise between parties (parts) in order to represent the whole. But history shows that with a modern, passionate and inflamed spirit of partisanship, such an agreement is achieved only with great difficulty: the parties do not want each other. Thus, the party system fuels ambition and party competition, and the "units" push each other out of power. At best, this gives rise to “swing” harmful to the state: to the right, to the left, to the right, to the left - regardless of the real state affairs. The roost is treading on the spot, the attorneys take turns tearing the carriage into their nearest ditch, the coachman is not there or he is in confusion, and the passengers on the way watch with anxiety the willful strangers and await their fate … There are moments in life when it's hard to talk. Even what you have the right to say about the living, you dare not address the dead.

In life, you must have the right to the truth! Not everyone trying to get her out can do it. There must be a personal thought behind the word; character should be felt, sincere conviction should be heard; self-esteem should be visible. The word must be suffered and spoken from the heart. Then it convinces and conquers; then it carries not a lying half-truth, but an honest truth. And it is in vain to think that all this is a theoretical invention, for it is accessible to any simple and decent person.

When Hitler conducted propaganda against Bolshevism-communism, he lied, lied with a shameless temperament. He also lied when he uttered the appropriate words about reliable facts. The sincere Russian anti-communists, who had been working for years on a responsible and truthful denunciation of Bolshevism, felt that this ambiguous, deceitful propaganda of a liar compromised them and their cause. There are neighbors, from whom everyone turns their backs, there are "like-minded people" who inspire everyone with disgust. Just as there are “rewards” that are worse than a spot. When a traitor preaches fidelity and seemingly expresses the right thoughts, he is lying.

When a hired agent of a foreign state calls for selfless service to Russia, he is lying. Zinoviev lied, calling for social justice. Dzerzhinsky lied, praising and “practicing” humanity. Litvinov lied when he recommended monetary correctness. Gorbachev lied, preaching perestroika and socialism with a human face. Yeltsin lied when he promised the people “rivers of milk and jelly banks” in order to get more constitutional rights and less responsibility. Zhirinovsky lied, shouting about the oppression of the indigenous population of Russia, Russians, but constantly lobbying for vital issues. Yegor Gaidar lied (Yegor's grandfather wrote a fairy tale about a bad boy, as he looked into the water, for a reason). Chubais lied, promising two Volga cars for vouchers, totally robbing the population of a huge country with Gaidar.

In the era of the greatest turmoil and lies, we need to preserve the sense of truth, like the apple of our eye, and demand from ourselves and from people, truth, truth. For without a sense of truth, we will not recognize a liar, and without the right to truth, we will destroy every truth, every conviction, every proof and everything sacred in life. Russia can only be built on mutual trust; and if Russian people lie to each other, they will be scattered in the world and perish from mutual mistrust and betrayal.
