Читаем Chronicles From The Future: The amazing story of Paul Amadeus Dienach полностью

Most of these experimental institutions were regional, taking the form of nationally or ideologically neighbouring racial groups, which were aiming for a simple “balance of power.” And although the substantial value of those institutions was essentially negligible—due to the form in which they appeared— it constituted the foundations on which the Universal Commonwealth, in its present form, was ultimately built. That happened more or less around 2390 AD, that is, 477 years after our League of Nations. The dominant figure, as I was told, was an Englishman named John Terring, the first leader of the Universal Commonwealth.


ELDERE: THE FOUR-CENTURY STRUGGLE FOR REAL GLOBALISATION

As I mentioned above, “exemplification” and “bullying”, along with the transmission of information and knowledge, were nowadays used as educational tools for teaching prehistory in schools, lectures and the Reigen-Swage

. Something like showing our children the way and conditions of the life of a Roman slave in a galleon, the morals and traditions of the time of feudalism and the extent of the sexual rights of the master over the newlyweds in the villages of the serfs or the pyres of the Inquisition in Spain...

And yet today they honour the people of the 24th and earlier centuries in many respects, regardless of how appalling the incidents of those times are. In their eyes, those people of our times are the “first fighters”, who struggled and fought and suffered in order to enable future generations to live a normal, human life. They are the “honoured ancestors”, the “pioneers who paved the way.” They look back to our era with gratitude! They characterise it as “epic” and “heroic” and strongly believe that it was necessary for the course of history; without it the law and order and the rationalisation of life would never become possible.

Lain says that every era generates its own questions, questions that the elders are called to answer for the youngest. And every era has its own characteristics. He said, for example, that the 20thcentury was characterised by people’s tremendous efforts to control forces, such as electricity, nuclear energy or solar energy. People began to dominate nature. In addition, the automation of work, due to the electrical and electronic devices created a problem that was not visible to the naked eye: the workers’ extra free time! In fact they argue that that self-determination given to the workers, mainly the industrial ones, was, according to many thinkers, one of the main reasons why human history and civilisation on earth took this course! Because that extra free time of the workers was filled with low-quality spectacles and entertainment in general, like gambling, prostitution, the speed races and sports games and vulgar popular mass media. Music was reduced to simple melodies and rhythms, the masterpieces of literature circulated in illustrated summaries and thought was considered a waste of time! Another characteristic of the time was that people lost their ability to distinguish the good from the bad and the beautiful from the ugly in art and creation...

In the 21st century, the rural economy was put on the back burner. And as if the demographic problem wasn’t enough, a new, terrible issue made its appearance: the increasingly smaller area of arable land, which was constantly being eaten away by the increasingly expanding giant urban areas: the so-called urbanisation.

By then, it was already a fact that food was no longer adequate and people started looking for nutrition alternatives and sources outside the boundaries of the food industry, mainly focusing—if Lain is to be believed—on seas and oceans, which gave the impression of an inexhaustible source of food.

Thanks to scientific progress of the era, nutritional and edible substances could be extracted from plankton and the underwater flora and fauna. Artificial photosynthesis, however, had not yet come to the rescue of humanity.

But the most tragic thing of all was still the “phantom of the number”. At this point in history was when the sentence “the coming years will be hostile” was first uttered. People lived in very tight spaces, but in colossal residential areas and many times they were forced to move around wearing masks because of the polluted air.

In another field of life, the 21st century was marked by the first test flights with destination to the nearest alien lands…
