After thousands of years, humans still haven't learned how to live with the complexity that life is.

"It's all too complicated and confusing; somebody tell me how to think and what to do!!!"

In step the authoritarians. "Only I can save you."

Unfortunately "The World of Yesterday" is the world we're still living in. Great post!

Thanks, Rick. There does seem to be something hardwired into some people that want to be ruled by authoritarians. Is it, for them, a cycle of abusive fathers that hasn't stopped for generations? I wish I knew.

If you haven't read any of Alice Miller's work on Hitler (and Stalin) you might be interested in what she has to say. Also, Dr. Bandy Lee is keeping up her kick-ass commentary on "Trump Contagion" going world-wide!
