Plato believed that morality was objective and based on universal Forms or Ideas, such as the Form of the Good. He argued that the end of civilization could come about if individuals pursued their own pleasure and material desires instead of striving for the good of society and the harmony of the soul.
In "The Republic," Plato wrote about the decline of societies from an age of discipline to a state of corruption and eventual collapse. He argued that in such a state, laws would become unjust and individuals would act immorally, leading to the downfall of civilization.
In the Bible, the same trajectory is painted of Sodom and Gomorites who abounded in all such things. Similiarly, the Giants of old recounted in Enoch's books brought the human species all the instrumentations for their own destruction. Summarily, the flood annhiliated humanity and the giants. The offspring who now man the gathering of the earth's kings and rulers (no, not presidents and prime ministers), believe prolonging their reign is inevitable and the soundness of their venture and Order is supreme.
While the Giants were far more advanced in sciences in markedly open ways, today's feeble, darkened and densely covered etch marks of the previous Age ensure a kind of plausible disguise for the councils of evil. They believe Progress's grasp is so strong, it will lend success to their venture over feeble human minds.
The vast comprehension required to accept a conspiracy of evil is immediately rejected through unbelief. The totality of such hatred that remains unseen, yet lurks very much alive and very much prolific in evil, is just too much to bare for the sedated populace.
--It would all go so smoothly if it weren't for errors in their plot budgeting.
For example, their accounts seem to always exclude the element of surprise, and with their high thinking, they have lost sight of Who It Is They Resist. Fighting a human being, such a thing is easy! But try and hedge in God, woe to such a soul and to the plotters!
Who holds the keys over the gates of hell and that of life itself?
-- Is CERN able to summon control over all the world, every thing and every soul? Is a data based algorithm able to turn all nature to serve itself, when it is inextricably a creation within nature's fabric?
The excited engineers tinker away, like so many ants, at a device that profoundly proves their inadequate reasons and the absence of a resting place for their imagination.
Like mad men, they dig toward the irony!
