When I was younger and even more stupid, I always envisioned my favorite non-fiction authors as moral men, not politicians. But these very authors are politicians to their core as I have found later on.
When I started to doubt human morality and realized that current and past human morality makes little sense compared to ideal morality (Arguments from atheism, Jan Bryxí 2023), I still considered people like Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Daniel Dennett or Sam Harris quite moral from the common standpoint. Yes, my former idols.
Then they told me there is something like as Gaussian curve and morality is distributed accordingly. And being an idol has nothing to do with morality. Of course, you don’t have to be a sociopath to be successful. So the reality hit me.
Please note I don’t want to degrade what they have taught me in any manner. This is why I dedicated my first book to their likes.
What are the requirements of being a good author? But politics?
A few people can write. I am an author as well, but mediocre at best, but I can be glad that I can write at all as my illness hit me hard.
There is IQ and all the things distributed around the g factor: talent, creativity (this plays a huge role), and ability to be a good orator.
Socioeconomic background, native knowledge of the eventual language, country of birth, but politics? Yes, authors are politicians.
So why non-fiction authors are politicians?
I will deeply disappoint you, but even if you wrote like William Shakespeare, had the brain of John von Neumann, had the talent for physics like Albert Einstein or Stephen Hawking, they wouldn’t let you be in the spotlight.
Since every part of the world is under the control of some patron-client networks that mine wealth into their own pockets.
And since secret services are producing conspiracy theories that are implausible to their core (it may even be “conspiracies” that exist, only they distort them), a huge stake is that the rich people who rule us from behind will be tamed.
So make someone author-celebrity and he or she will suddenly start speaking against the elites? Way no!
Since there is extensive evidence that there are super-rich groups, these authors – if they want to write (and of course, it highly resembles communism) – must consent.
Authors are politicians and playing chess parts with the super-rich groups
Our beloved authors are politicians and must play chess part with the super-rich. Why did Sam Harris quit X (Twitter)? Why does the DailyMail call Richard Dawkins “controversial”? I just insinuate.
Peter Hitchens, the brother of the late Christopher Hitchens writes: “… Christopher, who was generally in sympathy with the Iraq War and on good terms with members of the George W Bush administration, became concerned by such methods.”
If you are totally unknowing, you don’t understand why you need to be on good terms with some administration or its opposition (all with the hidden super-rich groups, lobbyists, crooks, movers-and-shakers). But yes, our greatest authors are politicians.
Maintaining their power and being self-important
Look, I completely get the notion that they don’t want to me anything in common with me, but they are such celebrities that they are truly arrogant, and even mediocre author (to be sure, that’s not me) is ignored.
The thing is that it is not about getting the power, but also about maintaining it.
Great authors without superb connections? No way!
There may be a thousand times better people than these aforementioned are, but they get no chance.
Are you an orator on par with Martin Luther King Jr, John F. Kennedy, Winston Churchill?
Do you want to be a famous author? Get a connection at first? Kiss the ring and you maybe achieve something. All the important authors are politicians.
