When you say "naive men think that by ill-treating others they make their own superiority the greater", it makes me think of the scorn and abuse heaped on people like Dr. McCullough by far, far, far lesser men.
I think the hubris of the current world in general, is even deeper. Trying to control nature is hubris. Either via pharmaceuticals, via geoengineering, genetic engineering and the like, or via the simple act of disrespect for the dignity and sanctity of all life.
The goal of the endless spending is to wreck the economy in order to usher in a digital currency. Christine Lagarde was tricked into revealing they are planning the digital Euro (Central Bank Digital Currency CBDC) for OCTOBER of this year. It is happening in the US. Gov Kristi Noem in South Dakota vetoed a bill that ended up on her desk which proposed to change the definition of "currency" to exclude Bitcoin and any digital money that isn't run by the Fed. The SD Legislators did not read the boilerplate text that came from lobbyists connected to banks whom they trusted. The NY Fed has a pilot CBDC, as do others. CBDC is the next destabilizing event on par with COVID, and people aren't fully understanding the implications......
Christine Lagarde into disclosing her plan to launch a "Digital Euro" in October
We love you Dr Peter! All of humanity whether 'aware' or not, are forever grateful for your determination and commitment to truth. The world is watching. The world loves heroes. And you Doc, you are the truest expression of a hero.
There is a richness to words that we often miss. What you wrote nailed precisely what's going on, perfectly illustrated by the depth of meaning of the word itself, fleshed out by its historical roots. I've talked about the thin ice of assumption that protects the elitists who think they can, via so many largely unproven technologies--which have never been proven to scale well, let alone mesh in a manageable way--by which they hope to live and rule forever and reshape the world in their own craven image. There are so many potential pitfalls that one could foresee decades of dystopian chaos...it's more than a bit of madness, with a side of a ton of hubris.
Thanks for this meaning it really captures the essence of hubris, and explains the last 3 years where people have succumbed to hubris at so many levels, seemingly good people in good conscience, and of course people with more nefarious intent.
I think C.S. Lewis had a great understanding of where hubris leads, with respect to become like gods
“For the wise men of old the cardinal problem had been how to conform the soul to reality, and the solution had been knowledge, self-discipline, and virtue,” Lewis writes. “For magic and [today’s] applied science alike the problem is how to subdue reality to the wishes of men: the solution is a technique; and both, in the practice of this technique, are ready to do things hitherto regarded as disgusting and impious…”
But because in this “objective” view there is nothing whatsoever to separate man from the material of the natural world – nothing that man permanently is – man himself becomes material available to be manipulated and reshaped at will, just as the natural world can be manipulated and reshaped. And while it “is in Man’s power to treat himself as a mere ‘natural object’ and his own judgements of value as raw material for scientific manipulation to alter at will,” Lewis warns that indeed, “if man chooses to treat himself as raw material, raw material he will be…”
In such a world, in which techniques of technological control must come to be applied to man just as they are applied to tree or iron, it is not “Mankind” as a whole that will gain such power. Rather, inevitably, “the power of Man to make himself what he pleases” means in truth “the power of some men to make other men what they please.”
And if, “What we call Man’s power over Nature turns out to be a power exercised by some men over other men with Nature as its instrument,” then ultimately:
Man’s conquest of Nature, if the dreams of some scientific planners are realized, means the rule of a few hundred men over billions upon billions of men. There neither is nor can be any simple increase of power on Man’s side. Each new power won by man is a power over man as well.

Here is the ultimate embodiment of hubris:
We the People are facing HORRIFYING TECHNOCRATIC PSYCHOPATHY TO DESTROY HUMANITY AND ALL NATURAL LIFE!
It was NEVER about health! The Powers That Should Not Be were ALWAYS about they want you DEAD or a SLAVE! This is a painful truth to accept but we the people must wake up and fight back!
We must never lose sight of the larger picture of the vile malignance we are fighting against.
There is an insidious global ruling class plot to enslave all life on earth behind all the madness and suffering inflicted on We the People.
How to fight back against this TOTAL SLAVERY!
RESIST! DO NOT COMPLY! DITCH THE DAMNED 'SMART' PHONES AND THE DAMNED QR CODES AND GO BACK TO LANDLINES OR FLIP PHONES AND USE CASH AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! INSIST ON CASH! CBDC IS TOTAL SLAVERY!
Other than getting rid of nuclear weapons which I support 100% the rest of the anti-nuclear peace movement and CLIMATE CRISIS propaganda is parroting UN utter GARBAGE, a complete surrender to the ENSLAVEMENT AGENDA by the diabolical despots of Davos - ruling class criminals who lust for total power and control and all of whom should be tried and jailed for life and their malign organizations dismantled: the UN, the WEF, the IMF, the WHO, the BIS, NATO, Blackrock, Vanguard, The Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, The Bilderbergers, the CFR et al.
There is an evil predator globalist technocratic elite agenda of eugenics/depopulation/genocide using bioweapon poison jabs, war, geoengineering, EMF radiation, starvation and economic collapse - THE GREAT RESET/AGENDA 2030/4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION to get rid of billions of 'useless eaters' and to use nano tech to turn the survivors into ROBOTIZED COMPLIANT SLAVES! WAKE UP AND RESIST! DO NOT COMPLY! These are psychopath megalomaniacs who want to play god by turning all life into digitized metaverse mechanistic synthetic biology to be manipulated by their AI algorithms. A more demonic sickening idea is nearly impossible to imagine!
APPALLED AND HORRIFIED AT INSANE TYRANNICAL PROTOCOLS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HEALTH AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH TOTALITARIAN CONTROL! REVERSE THIS NOW!
MAKE THE WORLD AND AMERICA 2019 (comparatively speaking), AND FREE AGAIN!
NO, I AM NOT AFRAID OF THE MORONIC SCARIANT SHMARIANT MONKEYSHINES! WAKE UP ALREADY!
TOTALLY CONDEMN BIDEN AND ALL OTHER POLS WHO HAVE NO POWER TO LAWLESSLY ACT LIKE AN EMPEROR OR DICTATOR AND DECREE JAB CROW 'SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS' FASCIST SEGREGATION/DISCRIMINATION/APARTHEID VIOLATIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION, THE NUREMBERG CODES AND EVERY CIVIL RIGHT IMAGINABLE.
NO GREEN NEW DEALS OR BUILD BACK BETTER FROM THE CRIMINAL TECHNOCRAT TYRANTS KLAUS SCHWAB AND HIS CRONIES FROM THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM.
STOP THE TERRIBLE TYRANNY OF THE TECHNOCRATS GLOBAL AGENDA OF TOTAL SURVEILLANCE AND CONTROL USING THE VIRUS AS EXCUSE AND PROPAGANDA TOOL!
NO MUZZLING STIFLING MASK MANDATES! NO FORCED VACCINES! END TORTUROUS DEVASTATING LOCK DOWNS NOW! I WANT MY LIFE BACK.
This Post immediately follows the announcement of last night's Post of a 'Boston Miracle Gathering'
for RFK Jr. to announce a run for the Presidency.
Return to the past Post to read the 'Comments' overwhelmingly UNSUPPORTIVE of any Democrat including RFK Jr. Few are willing to vote for him at this time.
SUBVERSION...This Post IS SUBVERSION as it immediately followed last night's Post and
ITS PURPOSE TO BE TO SHUT PEOPLE UP.
This is as the accusation; 'CONSPIRACY THEORISTS'...Used to COVER TRUTH.
Evil, arrogant Idolaters project their own EVIL ONTO PATRIOTS; those LOYAL TO THE CONSTITUTION, REPUBLIC and PEOPLE unlike the treasonous Techno-Feudal Fascist Mafia Cult they support, finance and are, themselves.
THERE IS CONSPIRACY TO DESTROY THE U.S.
THERE WAS AND IS PREMEDITATED MASS GENOCIDE.
There is no THEORY, ERROR, MISTAKE OR STUPIDITY.
All running for President or any other Govt. position have many questions to answer about their stance concerning our Country...The Council for Foreign Affairs and National Security Council...Questions pertaining to the Bank for International Settlements with all the Central Banker Family Cartel and all the sub-groups OWNED BY THEM...The U.N./WHO, WEF, The City of London, D.C., Beijing and ALL THE Techno-Feudal Fascist Organizations supporting the ANTI-CONSTITUTIONAL. EXACTLY WHO ARE THOSE ENEMIES OF AMERICA CHOOSING THE PEOPLE TO ELECT? The People, if wise, WILL ELECT SOMEBODY TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE TO THEM.
Yes--HUBRIS is a useful tool of the deep state, and obviously MAD AVE as well. Freud's nephew, Edward Bernays understood semantics and the use of hubris very well. We need to acknowledge the pioneers like Korzybski(creator of Semantics)who paved the way for "neurolinguistics" and a better understanding of how the tools of persuasion are employed.
When you say "naive men think that by ill-treating others they make their own superiority the greater", it makes me think of the scorn and abuse heaped on people like Dr. McCullough by far, far, far lesser men.
Your post much appreciated by this classical languages scholar, many years ago. Good job.

South Dakota's Governor Vetoes Bill That Would Have Paved The Way For Central Bank Digital Currency

We love you Dr Peter! All of humanity whether 'aware' or not, are forever grateful for your determination and commitment to truth. The world is watching. The world loves heroes. And you Doc, you are the truest expression of a hero.
Funny, I was just reflecting on hubris.
As one of my ancestors often said, "learn from the mistakes of others," for learning is a painful process as it is....
Thank you Peter, John and all who are commenting. Hubris must identified, confronted, and removed from influence whenever possible.
Hubris always carries the risk of awakening nemesis.

Hubris. Arrogance in the face of the Gods.
