The sign of the times is based on progress.
There are disruptive, chaotic, and disrespectful forces that seek to create a dystopian future where absolute tyrants exploit, steal, and oppress with absolute power.
History have already determined the outcome in track records (from predictable characteristics, past experiences and choices).
In simple terms, garbage in, garbage out.
Destructive paths in, end up with self-destruction out.
History has documented numerous dictators and tyrants and their outcomes, often involving countless atrocities and crimes against humanity.
Thus supporting the adage, "power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." *
The more abusive the regime, the greater the atrocities, leading to grandiose self-delusions of unsustainable exploitation of the people with lies, Ponzi-like schemes, and theft.
The obvious problem not recognized in a narcissistic power-tripping paradigm is the false sense of security that fear and subservience translate into total power and control.
Because the desire for control leads to increasingly smaller fixations of the miniscule mundane in greater materialistic greed, and abuse of power, at the expense of intelligence, will not translate into prosperity and peace.
And blaming victims, people or intelligence will not address the real problems of only focusing on wants and never needs of developing prosperity and peace or recognizing threats and vulnerabilities.
Nor will blame change bad practices or minimize liabilities from destructive practices and harm to reputation, credibility, and standing.
