Timeline of 1 Major Paradigm Shift that changed the world and a lot of Minor Paradigm Shifts
Summary of history from 500 BC to 2100 AC:
Evolution proceeds in discrete way, with major jumps and in between linear change.
It seems that since Aristotle the western world only progressed by variating on the views of Aristotle
And now has reached the jumping point where it has become clear that this road ends at an abyss.
Alexander the Great in his blitz empire destroyed all other common sense and introduced
the 'exploitation' view on life of his teacher Aristotle. A major Paradigm Shift. A universe centered around a God
of Aristotelian design with all realizations
of human life aiming at getting full formed in a god-form (for some master, for most slaves) . The Aristotelian god (form) is
the methaphysical LAW behind physics. Disguised absolutism, taking the Aristotelian parasitism view of nature as 'all there is'.
It is enlightening to distinguish between major paradigm shifts (leaps OUT OF dominant paradigm) and
common paradigm shifts (essential change WITHIN dominant paradigm).
Aristotle was brilliant in his use of logic, and this is seen in the technological achievements
of the current Western World.
The Total Paradigm Shift from emotion to logic caused by Alexander the Great must have been like an ever lasting tornado in the Middle East.
Things got even more serious when in 451AC at the Council of Chalcedon the Romans made this view into 'law and order'.
Since then the entire thousands years of history of civilization before Roman Christianity and Islam (Muslim Christianity) is seen as a myth.
The Catholic Church arose to power and branded anyone a heretic, when denying the catholic view that God is (made in Greece) Logic
and that Jesus was a half-god . The Roman Church/Islam/Protestant Church dictated the view of the past and present.
The Romans admired Alexander and Aristotle and brought the destructive Paradigm Shift 'life=exploitation' to Europe
as Catholicism. The Spaniards introduced the life=exploitation paradigm as Catholicism in South America. The Portuguese brought
the paradigm as Catholicism to Africa and Asia.
In Europe Calvinism perfected the 'life=exploitation' paradigm. The life-exploitation paradigm as Calvinism and Lutheranism conquered all of Northern Europe.
The British in The Great British Empire brought the new paradigm in the shape of puritan views to Australia, New Zealand, India, ...
European Puritans were forced to leave Europe and created a New Paradigm (the New World) in
America. A puritan homeland that costed the lives of millions of Red Indians.
The US laws became puritanism in written shape, based
on impossible concepts like 'freedom of action' (liberty, unlimited growth), 'freedom of speech',
'individual freedom'. The US became a kind of New Roman Empire in puritan shape,
with impossible ideals and very agressive.
Aristotle and Alexander the 'Great' are start of timeline. Major Paradigm Shift that shapes 'rational behavior' (Western World) and smothers bodily common sense.
Jesus By Israel and Romans corrupted major paradigm shift that popped up in Judah, and aimed at unity of Middle East and Western World by restoring common sense Council of Chalcedon (451 AC) Organized by Roman Emperor. Common Sense definitely smothered in Western World.
Resulting in Roman Catholicism. Slavery continued.
The Dark Middle Ages. Catholicism survives.
Da Vinci (1452-1519), offering the base for present technology. Copernicus (1507-1514), mainly influencing astronomy. Galileo (1564-1642), mainly influencing astronomy Descartes (1596-1650), saves Catholicism, by redesigning god-centered universe of Aristotle into mind body split. Start of rational thinking. Slavery survives again. Newton (1643-1727), only influencing science Kant (1724-1804), the last 'general' philosopher. His work suggests that he grasped rationalism. Nevertheless he designed a 'crooked' compromise. Charles Darwin (1809-82), scientist/'priest' with wide influence. Continuing the dubious absolute rational line of Descartes and Kant. Known from: Law of the Fittest. Karl Marx (1818-83), godfather of communism and capitalism. Worldwide influence. Used the dubious absolute rational thinking of Descartes to seperate 'poor' and 'rich'. Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900). Not at all against religion but attacking the destructive 'rational thinking' in Catholicism. Unrecognized. Rational Thinking survives.
The thinking in terms of Law of the Fittest, fitted perfectly the mentality for massive killing in the later 2 World Wars.
Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948), great communicator and leader. Inspired by the type of same thinking as Nietzsche. Murdered. Einstein (1879-1955), mainly influencing physics/mathematics/astronomy Wittgenstein (1889-1951) Continues thinking of Nietzsche. Famous but unrecognized. Rational Thinking survives. Scientist. Che Guevarra 1929-1967). Great Warlord. Killed by Rational CIA/FBI Mother Teresa (1910-1997). Great communicator. Got several donations from Haile Selassie Thomas Kuhn (1922-1996) ..unrecognized. Scientist. Rational thinking survives. Dalai Lama (1935-..) The 14th. Great communicator and leader. Driven from Tibet by rational communists. Haile Selassie (1930-74). Great communicator and leader. Killed by rational Marxists. Martin Luther King 1929-1968). Corresponded with Selassie. Great communicator and leader. Killed by rational FBI/CIA. Nelson Mandela (1918-..). Corresponded with Selassie. Great communicator and leader. Imprisoned after tip of rational CIA/FBI. Revolutions in several Middle East dictatorships (2009-...) Osama bin Laden (1957-..). Great warlord. Killed in 2011 by CIA as election stunt for US president.
.... Western World shakes (2010-....), and pumps more money in Greece than it did in 2 decades in Africa Major Paradigm Shift
