Modernity and Culture

A person with an extremely high "IQ" as measured by tests about geometry puzzles and order of numbers is a retard compared to the complexity of the natural world, or even human world complexity. Central planning is always an exercise in reducing the complexity of the real world to match the retarded plans of narcissists and megalomaniacs.

Central planning and authoritarian tendencies have been a component of human life since at least people settled in cities. The christian church is a good example--the authoritarian religious zealots of "the church" were manical authoritarians.

Modernity seems to be an application of the engineering mindset to creating religions and engaging in psychological warfare. The people who seek to engineer the people seem to have their own religion. The idea of "transformation" or evolution of people is succinctly expressed in something like the Chinese Cultural Revolution or in the commie ethnic cleansing of South Africa under the guise of  racial justice.
