As learned in my previous post Fear and Loathing in Ward No 6, the self-contented interior life of Dr. Andrei Yefimich Ragin allowed him to reason away interaction with suffering and to maintain a nihilist point of view. From that post:
“The doctor extrapolates from his daily routine and reasons ‘why interfere with people dying if death is the normal and prescribed end for everyone?’ and ‘If the aim of medicine is to utilize drugs to alleviate suffering, the question necessarily arises: why alleviate it?’ With similar thoughts, he reasons away the need for himself to be involved in the lives of suffering people. Why should anyone be spared pain when ‘their lives have nothing of importance in them and would be entirely empty, like the life of an amoeba, were it not for suffering’?
Like Dr. Rabin, globalists and the Progressive Left can intellectualize away the suffering they levy on others with a self-contented interior life that keeps them detached. A thought life of neo-Marxism and the “The Science” allows them to abstract their neighbors into otherness, into exclusion, and into prejudices that speak of “oppressors” “racists”, “science deniers”, and “extremists”.
With humans put at an ideological distance away from personal concern and responsibility, it is then easy for globalists and the Progressive Left to propose sweeping reforms to fix the world. Among the most prominent “fixes” are “fundamental transformation” and The Great Narrative (formerly, The Great Reset).
With humans put at an ideological distance away from personal concern and responsibility, it is then easy to for them to say like Dr. Rabin ‘Why should anyone be spared pain when ‘their lives have nothing of importance in them and would be entirely empty, like the life of an amoeba, were it not for suffering’?
One example where we see the globalist’s dispassionate view of humans is their passionate pet project “climate change”. The climate change theory puts mankind directly in the crosshairs of “The Science”. So, the theory justifies individual suffering to mitigate climate change.
Finally admitting to the realization that intermittent wind and solar cannot hope to be feasible alternatives to natural gas, nuclear and coal continuous baseload generation, the climate schemers want us to lower our expectations going forward. Instead of them revising their “green energy” theory and plans we are told to accept a downgraded quality of life. “Would an Occasional Blackout Help Solve Climate Change?” is their answer.
Globalists and the Progressive Left insulate themselves from human suffering with a fanaticism for their problem-solving ideas. No need to lift a finger for that man lying by the side of the highway. The ideology we are proposing will take care of that.
For the Davos WEF crowd, you and I are the flyover country they jet over to powwow in the Swiss alps where they talk about how to alleviate climate change and how to make a fair and just world by curtailing access to capital and property ownership and wood-fired pizza and air conditioning and gas stove cooking and combustion engines and travel beyond a fifteen minutes and freedom and all those human things that get in the way of their plans for a better world.
(Note: Despite the lofty rhetoric, there is no fear of God before Globalist eyes. And there is no mention of humanity’s corporate imago dei given so that man would continue to generate the good form and function of Creation over the earth. Globalists, nihilists all, find meaning in “let us make a name for ourselves. They have no Lord or master they report to.”
Put in no nonsense terms: Christians, more than any other group, give materially, physically, and yes, spiritually, to meet the needs of humans. Globalists and Progressive Democrats have ideological and political programs – “Let’s throw money at that” “Let’s call people racist and white supremist” “Let’s divide people into classes and make them at war with each other.”)
What I am trying to convey is that there is a way of thinking that reasons that suffering and death are going to happen anyway so why not let both happen as a means to a sociopolitical end.

Since March of 2020 and the pandemic that Anthony Fauci (“The science”), Francis Collins (NIH) and others made possible by illegally operating a bioweapons program in a Wuhan China lab, I’ve posted many times about what elitists/globalists have been up to. You won’t find these things mentioned in the legacy media. Like WH press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, legacy media is paid to obfuscate, deflect, create absurd narratives and pronounce “conspiracy theory” when things get too real. So, again, let’s now take a look at one of globalist’s anti-human projects you won’t hear about on TV.
Globalist elitists were up to population control in the 60’s. We see their proposed measures (below) at work in our society today.
The 1969 Jaffe Memo, allegedly written by eugenicist and Planned Parenthood Vice President Frederick Jaffe, listed various strategies needed for achieving population control. Among the Proposed Measures to Reduce U.S. Fertility: alter the ideal family, increase homosexuality, encourage women to work, increased taxes, compulsory abortions, and payments to encourage sterilizations and abortions.
The Jaffe memo: a disturbing compilation of population control measures – Live Action News
U.S. Population Growth and Family Planning: A Review of the Literature (sntjohnny.com)
No BS. Below, a link to a deep dive into the “US Federal Government global population control/depopulation agenda, as well as the similarities to various activities known to have been performed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, World Health Organization, United Nations and other non-governmental (and governmental) organizations.”
“. . . the top 10 methods “they” are using to reduce human population down to a “manageable” amount, at which point those remaining (apparently including the heirs to the fortunes of those driving this bus) will all live in a “utopian society”.
Population Control and Official USG Policy (substack.com)
There are multiple ways to reduce population beyond what is shown on the 1969 Reduce U.S. Fertility chart:
-the promotion of transgenderism, another form of sterilization,
-child trafficking, a means to destroy the body and the mind,
– open the southern border allowing in tuberculosis,
-open the southern border allowing in fentanyl, criminals, and terrorists to have their way with us,
-euthanasia,
-sending cluster bombs to Ukraine,
-cashless bail in Democrat cities allowing criminals to go and kill again,
-premeditated acts of terrorism such as COVID-19,
-create mRNA vaccines that have debilitating effects on fertility and deadly results,
-keep low-cost repurposed drugs, that are highly effective, from being used, e.g., Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin
-biological and chemical warfare perpetrated on the human race,
-creating fear porn about a climate catastrophe so that couples won’t consider having children.
Among the many other de-populating-the world projects, the World Economic Forum (WEF) is working to discourage private ownership of homes – “You’ll own nothing and be happy” ~ Whatever you do, don’t pass anything (home, farm, business) on to your children and keep the fertility cycle going. Besides, you’ll be a nomad eating bugs and won’t have time to have children.
What do the elitists fear with increased population? Widespread hunger?
The massive amount of money going to Ukraine could be used instead to fund hunger relief projects across the globe. The Fauci grant money funding bioweapons research could be used to produce arable farming land. The billions in advertisement money going to cable news shows that lie to us could be redirected to feeding orphans and supporting inner city families.
What do the elitists fear with increased population? An increase in undesirable races and peoples?
“Arguing whether we have under or overpopulation is unhelpful and distracting when, in reality, there is very little we can do to influence population growth. Worse, these arguments often have racist, eugenicist undertones. Overpopulation arguments frequently originate in the global north and aim at reducing fertility in the global south (developing countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America), where the majority of the world’s black, brown, indigenous and multi-heritage people live.”
What do the elitists fear with increased population? Human activity driving a climate crisis? Too many carbon footprints?
“As this short history of failed predictions reveals, prominent environmentalists have been using fears of famine and ecological disaster to promote a population-control agenda for many years. Recent claims that man-made global warming might be yet another disaster to be laid at the feet of population growth are no more credible.
“The Armageddon scenarios put forward by climate change alarmists are greatly exaggerated. Even if global population growth had not slowed, the human impact on climate has simply been too small to reliably measure against background variation. Further, the net impact of increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is expected to be a positive for at least the next century. The benefits of modest warming – on crops, heating expenses, human health, and more – exceed the costs by a wide margin.”
The Killing Fields – a short history of population control based on fear of the other
Sir Francis Galton coined the term “eugenics” in 1883 which inspired fear of “race degeneration” in countries like Germany, which infamously applied many of Galton’s theories to their master race ideologies under Nazi rule.
1975-1975. The Khmer Rouge regime murdered hundreds of thousands of their perceived political opponents. Its racist emphasis on national purity resulted in the genocide of Cambodian minorities. 1.8 million Cambodians is a conservative figure.

You wake up in a news cycle that never sleeps. With a cup of coffee, you read what ‘doomcasters’ are saying about end-of-life scenarios appearing on the horizon. Now you are fully awake and wondering what to do with these high alert headlines? Do you let existential crisis into your life?
You sip your coffee and remember that not long ago the world was subjected to pandemic hysteria. Coronavirus, the “global crisis of unprecedented reach and proportion,” started making headlines at the beginning of 2020.
You recall the WHO declaring the coronavirus a “public health emergency of international concern.” And the headlines declaring surges in COVID-19 cases attributed to the Omicron variant, a “tripledemic” – COVID combined with flu and RSV, and of overwhelmed hospitals and healthcare systems and dancing nurses.
How could you forget that Biden imposed OSHA vaccination and testing emergency standards on your business or the reality-warping restrictive policies involving mandated lockdowns, masking, social distancing, fines, and vaccines, or the CDC predicting people will die?
You pour yourself another cup of coffee and look out the kitchen window. You see the couple next store – Vivian and Zoe – walking their dog Baxter. The other day, when you took the garbage can to the curb, the apoplectic twosome accosted you with “Democracy is threatened by the likes of you extremists, fascists, racists, homophobe Christian nationalists!” and “Trump is Hitler!” They saw you going to church last Sunday.
You drink your coffee troubled that Viv and Zoe had been beaten down by another media existential crisis campaign, akin to the rollout of the COVID-19 marketing campaign that told us to worry about it, and how to worry about it.
Under the spell of the “Democracy is threatened” campaign, Viv and Zoe were in a state of emotional panic. And that had them beat down on the closest person who didn’t share their views or the views of the commercial-sponsored media. The media’s inordinate influence has you very concerned about the collective fear and confusion its campaigns were causing to psyches.
The beat down goes on . . . in our heads.

How shall we then live in the context of existential dread?
Day after day imagination is battered with dire predictions– the end of this and that unless we do this and that. The steady beat of amplified headlines overwhelms one’s patience, strength, and soul.
Climate change, pandemics, wars, “Democracy!” AI Could Make Humans Irrelevant!
How do we respond to headlines telling us that we are done for? Should we let fear and helplessness dominate our lives? Can we live in terms of “accepting disharmony from the outset and defying it”? This last way of going forward is the directive C.S. Lewis prescribes in his essay “On Living in an Atomic Age.”
Published in post-war 1948 and at the beginning of the atomic age, the essay provides a reality-check perspective and presents a scenario of how to live in life-ending times.
The following is an excerpt from the opening of Lewis’ short essay. During COVID the excerpt was passed around on the internet, with “atomic” replaced with “coronavirus.” Certainly, the essay can be applied to any dire life-threatening circumstances.
In one way we think a great deal too much of the atomic bomb. “How are we to live in an atomic age?” I am tempted to reply: “Why, as you would have lived in the sixteenth century when the plague visited London almost every year, or as you would have lived in a Viking age when raiders from Scandinavia might land and cut your throat any night; or indeed, as you are already living in an age of cancer, an age of syphilis, an age of paralysis, an age of air raids, an age of railway accidents, an age of motor accidents.”
In other words, do not let us begin by exaggerating the novelty of our situation. Believe me, dear sir or madam, you and all whom you love were already sentenced to death before the atomic bomb was invented: and quite a high percentage of us were going to die in unpleasant ways. We had, indeed, one very great advantage over our ancestors — anesthetics; but we have that still. It is perfectly ridiculous to go about whimpering and drawing long faces because the scientists have added one more chance of painful and premature death to a world which already bristled with such chances and in which death itself was not a chance at all, but a certainty.
This is the first point to be made: and the first action to be taken is to pull ourselves together. If we are all going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts—not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs. They may break our bodies (a microbe can do that) but they need not dominate our minds.
The full essay, in the document below, contains questions and positions Lewis maintains, such as
Are we “accepting disharmony from the outset and defying it?”
Do we “hold up our own human standards against the idiocy of the universe?”
Are we the product of blind physical forces and therefore unable to provide answers to questions of a fatalist existence?
“But suppose we really are spirits? Suppose we are not the offspring of Nature…?”
“We must go back to a much earlier view.”
“We must simply accept it that we are spirits, free and rational beings, at present inhabiting an irrational universe, and must draw the conclusion that we are not derived from it.”
“If there is no straight line elsewhere, how did we discover that Nature’s line is crooked?”
“Nothing is more likely to destroy a species or a nation than a determination to survive at all costs.”

Born a few years after the above essay was published, I became well aware of ‘doomcasting’ headlines. I recalled some of the headlines in my January 2025 post Surface Readings.
The post began with the words of poet W H Auden – “Now is the age of anxiety” and my own take on things: “Impending doom has been in the news during my entire lifetime.” I wrote about the headlines and pronouncements of those anxious times which included the book The Late great Planet Earth based on the modern and heretical notion of dispensationalism.

Imagination Reset
Taking in the spirit of the times, imaginations are exposed to the negation of life and dire predictions often made for political ends that use fear to move power into the hands of the few.
Taking in the digital tabloid times is the “WHAAM!” of a Roy Lichtenstein Ben-Day dots painting. Imagination is amped up and ready to pop with a Pow!
What happens to our imaginations when we are constantly confronted with crisis? And, how do we live with dire predictions?
With the 24/7/365 news cycle, it’s little wonder that “News Avoidance” is becoming a common way to deal with the constant specter of troubling things, as Thaddeus G. McCotter writes in I Didn’t Read the News Today, Oh Boy: Embracing the ‘News Avoidance’ Pandemic
“If you live today, you breath in nihilism … it’s the gas you breathe. If I hadn’t had the Church to fight it with or to tell me the necessity of fighting it, I would be the stinkingest logical positivist you ever saw right now.” ― Flannery O’Connor
What we shouldn’t avoid are resources such as poetry, art, classical literature and music to help us cope with and see beyond the terrors of the modern age. We need the signal of those who came before and dealt with all kinds of things and not the clamoring noise of influencers.
Poet Wallace Stevens, in “The Noble Rider and the Sound of Words” writes that poetry, as it interacts with reality and the imagination, can shape our perspective and provide meaning and comfort in a world that often feels overwhelming and harsh.
Wallace emphasizes the role of imagination in countering the beat down of life. If you are a Christian, you already know that the poetry of the Psalms does just that, e.g., Psalm 91.
