Unfortunately, thinking does not follow a smooth Bell Shaped Curve but it has lot of bumps from left to right.
It is called squewed to the left or right.
Let me start with the Right.
It is dominated by powerful and rich Trilateral Commission. I have no real understanding of their structure.
They are outside all Governments.
They control all the money.
In other words they control the Banks.
The Military Industrial Complex is only an external expression of it. There is always a war on this planet. If one comes to a close another is created. Do not take War in Ukraine is over. It is Targeted till Donald Trump exits from politics. He came to power as peace negotiator but he is deeply engrossed in War.
His Peace Formula is only an eyewash.
They are getting ready for big war with IRAN. The war with China is at the moment in back burner.
The other manifestation of right side of the Bell Shaped conglomeration is Extreme Political Ideology. It does not come from Karl Marx Ideology. It is infact outside of thinking of Karl Marx.
The best example is in CEYLON.
I think there are three levels.
1. NPP is the front end.
Modernized, English speaking and only involved in how to win public opinion.
To this they lie upside down.
Raise the aspiration of ordinary people to dizzy heights.
2. The second is inner political wing. Since I have not listened to any of their 5 lectures, I have no analysis. Come to think about it if I was taken in, I would have destroyed it without much a do, with smart counter arguments. That is why it's cader is only 3%. Of course, I did destroy their Ideology as a young Medical undergraduate.
3. Third group is the international syndicate of drug, arms and money laundering. It is the most powerful and secretive. It is like CIA omnipresent but above governmental oversight. Just like Trilateral Commission they have extensive money resources to be called capitalist.
Now I come to the left side of the Bell Shaped Curve.
They consist of philosophers like Socrates, Plato and the lot were eliminated by all powerful Church.
I come under this category.
I question the Church.
I question all religious ideologies, including Buddhist scrips written by Mahanama and Buddhagosha.
I am a Freedom Fighter for Free Speech, Free association and Free communication in the Internet without AI modération.
We are the minority and we have no claught or power keg.
Factually right but no base to promote
We come and go.
With my demise it ends.
There are no followers except a few books which nobody reads.
Then comes the body of the Bell Shaped Curve.
Currently it is dominated by the Church and the Muslim clergy. Buddhism has no influence at all. At times I feel like placing Dhamma (not Buddhism) in the right hand side of the Curve because of its upright nature and Free thinking strategy. Just take Kalama Sutta for example.
