There has been a recent reblogging by LHPers of this article calling for people of the LHP to save the world. I laughed.
One of my colleagues on Twitter, Joseph Magnuson of Candlesmoke Chapel, made a few tweets over the past few hours that struck a nerve with me describing a general reluctance for magicians and spiritually-minded people to get involved with politics, legal affairs, and current events…
…They see it as beneath them, considering the news to be “a set up to keep us from manifesting the best reality for us”, and that “spiritual people know better than to get caught up in the illusions”…
…It’s your duty to do your part either as part of the system or as an infiltrator into it…
I read the news, but I do nothing. The news follows the pattern, stupid people do stupid things, repeat. All the problems of this world is because stupid people do stupid things. Stupidity is terminal, stupid people are doomed to their own destruction. As the stupid are the majority, human civilization is doomed to destruction.
I have better things to do than play at being superman, saving the stupid from themselves. It is pointless and merely prolongs the inevitable of the doom that the stupid will earn and deserve.
Ignoring the news, doing nothing about the causes and results of the stupid, is from a Satanic point of view, a realistic and pragmatic position. Even for those of a spiritual point of view, most must know that all things will find its own level, better the Taoist position to stay detached, allowing everything to flow to its own natural conclusion. There are good arguments that many of the problems of human civilization are due to people trying to control and interfere.
As a Satanist, my efforts are dedicated to survival and supporting those who have earned my respect; my view on the stupid who make up the majority of humanity, let them die.
