Reset Switch

Many Years ago, when faced with a seemingly intractable problem, my manager would say – “Let’s go back to first principles”. After a while unpacking the details, and examining the situation from a simpler perspective, the knot most often unravelled itself. Later I became quite accustomed to ‘Turning it Off and On again’ as the first line of defence against machines with a mind of their own. Everyone knows the Reset Switch resolves most problems. The human race desperately needs to examine the state of our relationship to each other and the planet, from a first principles perspective, before we catastrophically sleepwalk into hitting the reset switch. While we might recoil from the idea of annihilation resulting from a throw of the ultimate reset switch, in an all – out thermonuclear war, we should recognise that we are daily resetting many of the sub-systems upon which continuation of our species depends. It’s like ‘death from a thousand cuts’. No one person can be blamed for the death of the individual, but there comes a point where untreated wounding will cause an unstoppable bleed-out. Whether the cause is fluoride contaminated water supplies, mandatory vaccinations, toxic agricultural methods, genetic engineering or ‘5G’ Internet of Things exposing us to microwave radiation at unprecedented levels, we are calmly accepting an exponential rise in autism, other neurological degeneration diseases, cancer, obesity / malnutrition, autoimmune diseases and infertility rates that collectively guarantee our demise. It’s time to wake up.
