Epstein's worldview

While investigating and studying the Epstein case, I unwittingly began to agree with his worldview. In one of his letters, he points out that the world should be viewed as an organism, not as disparate ideologies.

In his understanding, left-wing, right-wing, and centrists — all of these exist as mechanisms for influencing ordinary people (like organelles in a cell), but have little effect on the elite. The world as an organism evolved gradually, with different tissues (like regions and countries) finding their place within this organism and determining the functioning of their cells.

The deeper you delve into the affairs of the elite, the more clearly you realize that we are all just insignificant components of insignificant cells. 

All our worldviews and ideologies are artificially modified for optimal functioning. All our arguments and philosophies are completely irrelevant. Sitting at the same table there, on those remote paradise islands, are the radical leftist Noam Chomsky, a critic of US and Israeli policies, Prince Andrew, a representative of the British monarchy, and Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, the former head of a port operator and an Emirati businessman.

Do our arguments about global conflicts, our squabbles over politics or religion, matter if our actions are merely levers for those at the top? 

If we are merely neurons transmitting signals from the brain to the limbs to move this vast organism. 

But where will we move: into the abyss or toward a better future?

They need us more than we "need" them. this idea that nothing we do matters is only true because we allow it to be. i'm no genius but the elites primarily exist because their money buys politicians who control the rules of society. to agree with you, our arguments and squabbles don't matter so much as where our money is going does. if hypothetically, people collectively stopped giving their money to people who care about profits more than they do about people and stopped letting sellout politicians into political offices, things would be different and people like epstein would be viewed hardly any differently than people like dahmer. whether we move into an abyss or a brighter future depends on if we stop going against one another and start going after the folks at the top who view us as nothing more than their pawns. Buuut idk that's just my two cents

I don't know how to respond to replies, so... I can't agree entirely. Not electing unsuitable politicians? Only someone from the US, or at least Europe, could say that. I'm from the CIS, and "democracy" works a little differently here. We don't have the right to vote, and "elections" aren't an instrument of society. The only instrument of society is, essentially, revolution. I'm not calling for anything, but I think it's strange to think that someone, somewhere, simply chose the wrong person for a position. This system has existed for a long time and without our participation. We're simply intermediaries through whom money flows.

I think that the key to fixing society will be organizing and unionizing. The reason the capitalist class can control society so easily is because they consist of a lot of concentrated wealth. The working class consists of way more people, and the capitalist class depends on us to make their capital mean anything at all, so if we unionize to force them to meet our demands, protest, and push for political change, then maybe society can change for the better
