> if i have seen further than other men, it is because im standing on the shoulders of giants
|

|
|
the problem with giants, is that once we are on their shoulders we lose control of where we want to be.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the problem with giants, is that once on their shoulders, any fall is fatal.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the problem with giants, is that we now rely on them having similar ideals to our own.
|

|
the problem with giants, is that they dont.

## the new world order
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the new world is already here. forget reptiles, forget the one percent, our world is ruled by giants.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
amazon, microsoft, apple, google, facebook. the five overlords that have ***complete and undeterred control*** over every aspect of human life.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
these are giants amongst giants. entire civilisations stand on their shoulders, societies that **cannot** imagine a life without these wandering giants.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
these are giants that would rather be gods. they no longer care for aiding the advancement of ourselves, only for the number of followers they can amass.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
***no gods, no masters***
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
what is a human to a god? *nothing*, but also, *everything*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
a giant without followers is still a giant.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
a god without belief does not exist.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
these self-appointed dieties would not and could not survive without the cities on their backs, all it would take is an exodus and we could be free.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
however, as i look around, and see our society with its head in the clouds, i wonder.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
perhaps we couldn't survive the fall.

> anyone can see far on the shoulder of a giant. it takes a unique mind to be able to look down.
