Who rules the world?

Despite his outstanding knowledge and detailed reconstructions, Chomsky presents something old.

I don't think it makes sense to give his consciousness too much space. He is wonderful in his knowledge and his ability to expose things but perhaps because of this work he lacks any incentive, any positive turn of what he has discovered. It must be terrible to dig so deep in the mud but his achievement is admirable even if he repeats himself in Who Owns the World to the point of boredom.

You want to shout to him,

Yes we know

Yes, don't worry, I understand, but it is probably (even) more necessary in America to warn and unmask in this way, Europe, every country has different mental structures and needs regional demystifiers, deprogrammers, who take local peculiarities into account.

What will be a timeless manifesto in this book, however, is the bizarre reality of the American nation. I love my own biographical development story so much because it is often a good example of development processes or the increase or dumbing down of intelligence when I come out ruthlessly and can then show the various steps that deprogrammed or redesigned myself.

To emerge from a simple, relatively uneducated person from a progressive but hardly relevant environment in a hobbit country like Austria, in a hobbit town like Graz, in the truest sense of the word, and to reinvent oneself on other, more exciting and creative levels requires less know-how or resources than potential imitators fear, than one would generally expect.

And so it is astonishingly easy to observe and understand America. The more differentiated and precise conscious thinking and reflection begin to become, the faster and more clearly all the necessary details become apparent, still without judgment but remarkably open-hearted, in order to arrive at knowledge step by step or sometimes even in an intoxicating aha moment.

CHOMSKY IS JUST FILLING A HISTORICAL GAP IN THE REPROCESSING OF THE WORLD, BUT AMERICA IS ADORED AND PROMISING, THIS RUNG OF THE LADDER TO CARICATE A LITTLE OF THE PATH, THIS RUNG OF THE LADDER I OVERCOME WITH THE KRONEN NEWSPAPER STAGE WITH THE BOULEVARD ALREADY AT THE AGE OF 8-12 YEARS, ALTHOUGH HANDED OUT TO HIM, I WAS A FAN OF RONALD REAGAN BECAUSE HE WAS JUST A STUPID BOY

This coming out is important, I loved the Star Wars aspect, Reagan's missile defense system, which was presented in the most flowery way at the time, but I was politically uneducated for family reasons and had been programmed by small-format daily newspapers, I was basically based on the level of thinking and abstraction, on the emotional and intellectual immaturity of RTL.

I liked the Bild newspaper, although there were early signs that I would develop further. At first, unfortunately, this was based on my interest in USA Today. The choice of input - physical, nutritional, social, intellectual and ethical - determines our reality, our output.  

But back to America, my beloved America of youth, of childhood, into which I stumbled, already stupid, thanks to Karl May, and Perry Rhodan didn't really help either. As a child who grew up in poverty, a basement child in the truest sense of the word, it was probably a natural reaction to pay homage to capitalism, and here to the country that knew how to live and portray this dream of going from rags to riches best.

In the book, Chomsky once again succeeds in using such a misleading translation in the title that Who Rules the World becomes Who Owns the World? Sometimes you wonder whether German publishers are really so pathetic or whether they have other interests in mind with their embarrassing translations.

Chomsky explains who “rules” the world, but who owns it by no means; this is described much better in other books; from page 300 onwards the whining of the lovable professor is almost unbearable, but it should be an eye-opener in a fifth-grade textbook.

Why it is only marginally important in some high schools with progressive teaching staff is a different questioning story: learning that 80-90 percent of the historical knowledge that has been drummed into us is a great lie requires complex brain chemical processes that human experience is rarely willing to undergo.

However, Chomsky is active, he practically strives for consequence from his knowledge, I would definitely suggest to self-proclaimed intellectuals to first get down to his level before seeing themselves as one.

As an American, you certainly have other tasks here. If you

Global Citizen

If you focus on mission values and necessity, it is easy to find out; in the regional context, you have to start to weigh up whether it is worth it and makes sense and how you should get involved, because often egoism seems to stand behind altruism.  

The United States remains a worthwhile destination of diverse interest, but this book and similar stimulating reading tear the masks from the face of this terrifying power, it shows what common sense has long suspected, and makes us sad because we have to act in an unnecessary process of self-destruction, the resource of life could already sparkle and dance in a much more valuable and sustainable way in an increasing flow beyond cultural differences and subjective characteristics if the psychopaths in power were removed without adding new ones.

But the modern Roman Empire has long since fallen apart, and Chomsky is fundamentally too negative; he constantly twists the conclusions he draws to justify himself. I am amazed that many people fall into this trap of conformation bias, often even the smartest and most emotionally mature people on the planet.

But this fits well into the overall picture of ignorance of one's own greatness and of the knowledge already acquired.

The entire education requires a completely new structure; learning about basic principles of existence only at the age of twenty or thirty often prevents their practical application.

The majority of humanity still worships money or regional fictional fairy tale characters, in the scariest cases both, in the year 2020!!!
