MINDLESS MIND CYCLE

MINDLESS MIND CYCLE

Every thought, ideology, belief and political movement creates itself with WISDOM and makes an assertive entrance to the stage of history with the claim of using the mind free from all judgments and conditioning. It attracts its first regulars with the charm of using the mind.

This new ideology, which was founded with the mind and opened the way for the mind, grows and develops rapidly, finds more supporters and defeats its opponents in an instant. But as supporters multiply and opponents are swept away, a problem begins to arise. It becomes difficult to manage and direct a society that has made a habit of using the mind.

What needs to be done is to set aside this mind, which is now difficult to manage, and to find a new tool in order not to lose the gains obtained with the mind to others. Surrealism comes to the fore.

The rational foundations of ideology are one by one destroyed. Myths replace theories, dreams replace reality. Thinking people are excluded. Criticism is destroyed. The accusations of treason, ''the roles that fortune has chosen from time immemorial'', and ''the eternal enemies'' begin to be talked about. This formation, which is founded with the mind and promises free thinking, turns into a complete toy in the hands of the mindless.

The ideology continues to exist for a while until it consumes its past capital, which it produced with reason. Then another new formation develops and encounters with the lure of reason and the power of criticism. Wise newcomers throw their predecessors, the sages of the past, and the idiots of today into the dustbin of history and take their places. They live and pass by as if they are experiencing a similar fate for the first time, until the moment they fall into the swamp of the irrationality.

Human history is replete with countless repetitions of this cycle. This vicious circle seems to continue over and over unless it is broken by the freedom-loving minds of today and the future.
