Happy Sabbat…
Last week, I wrote an article titled "A world that is fragmented and has a delicate glass ceiling"
… Four minor historical details help us comprehend our chaotic world. Still, modern radiography is perhaps in Sir Charles Chaplin's 1940 film The Great Dictator, a satirical comedy that criticizes fascism and dictatorship. It mainly targets the Nazi regime in this case, but other trends as well.
The extraordinary film Chaotic World is a dataset created to understand human behaviour in chaotic events, which could be relevant to understanding historical details that reflect the complexity of our world.
We can only hope that, like most films with dramatically polarizing situations, they will have a happy ending.
Discover an excerpt from a wonderful film in this post.
Charlie Chaplin in The Great Dictator…
I’m sorry, but I don't want to be an Emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible: Jew, Gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that.
We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another.
In this world there’s room for everyone and the good earth is rich, and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.
Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness hard and unkind. We think too much, and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities life will be violent, and all will be lost.
The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together.
The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men, cries out for universal brotherhood for the unity of us all. Even now, my voice is reaching millions throughout the world: millions of despairing men, women, and little children; victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say “Do not despair."
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
Soldiers, don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you, enslave you, who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think, and what to feel, who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts. You are not machines, you are not cattle, you are men.
You have the love of humanity in your hearts. You don't hate, only the unloved hate, the unloved and the unnatural. Soldiers, don't fight for slavery, fight for liberty.
In the seventeenth chapter of Saint Luke it is written “The kingdom of God is within man.” Not one man, nor a group of men, but in all men. In you, you the people have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness. You the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then, in the name of democracy, let us use that power. Let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work that will give youth a future and old age a security.
By the promise of these things brutes have risen to power, but they lie, they do not fulfill their promise. They never will. Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people. Now let us fight to fulfill that promise. Let us fight to free the world. To do away with national barriers, to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness.
Soldiers! In the name of democracy, let us all unite!
Look up! Look up! The clouds are lifting, the sun is breaking through. We are coming out of the darkness into the light. We are coming into a new world a kind new world where men will rise above their hate and brutality. The soul of man has been given wings, and at last, he is beginning to fly. He is flying into the rainbow, into the light of hope, into the future. That glorious future that belongs to you, to me and to all of us.
Look up! Look up.
According to Reuters, today's events in this chaotic world unfolded as follows:
Israel rescued four hostages in Gaza; Hamas stated that 210 Palestinians had been killed in the assault. An Israeli military spokesperson indicated that the hostage rescue operation had taken place under fire in the heart of a residential neighbourhood, where he asserted that Hamas had been hiding captives among Gaza civilians under guard by armed militants. / Norway’s Wealth Fund will vote against Musk’s $56 billion Tesla pay package. The fund also indicated it would vote on a shareholder proposal calling for Tesla to adopt a freedom of association and collective bargaining policy. This represents a victory for labour unions seeking to influence the U.S. carmaker. / South Korea’s young shamans revive an ancient tradition through social media. The appeal of shamanism has stood the test of time in one of the world’s most modern, high-tech nations. Young spiritual practitioners utilise social media accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers to reach clients. In the context of the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, a senior aide to the Biden administration has suggested that the United States may consider increasing the number of deployed strategic nuclear weapons. This suggestion comes despite the 2010 New START treaty between the United States and Russia, which sets a limit of 1,550 deployed strategic nuclear warheads. Moscow suspended its participation in the previous year’s negotiations over the United States’ support for Ukraine. In a recent interview, President Putin stated that Russia does not require the use of nuclear weapons to achieve victory in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Zelenskiy has asserted that Ukraine must determine its legitimacy, not for Putin to dictate it.
Four minor historical details help us comprehend the chaotic world in which we live.

The article addresses the difficulties of existing in a world affected by war and inflation, seemingly without an escape. To better understand these issues, we have chosen five essays that may shed light on the current predicament: “The war of religion in the 21st century…Germany and Russia’s volatile relationship in the 20th century…Comparing China’s Engagement in Africa and Latin America…The Failures of America’s Foreign Policy…Today's big surprise: Zelensky accuses China of helping Russia sabotage peace summit…”
In a challenging world, the role of humor and everyday life is deemed essential for survival. The human dynamics surrounding the Lewinsky/Clinton and Stormy Daniels/Trump situations are examined from the standpoint of emotional and mundane considerations. This concise text examines the differing reactions of Presidents Clinton and Trump to their respective situations. President Clinton affably admitted his participation, declaring, "I cherished the time in a romantic way, without physical intimacy," The show emphasized the significance of non-physical contact and then came to a conclusion. Conversely, President Trump has denied any contact with the Playboy model, which has had negative consequences for the former president in the trial in New York; however, the final word is still pending. It is remarkable that former President Trump's campaign and the GOP raised $52.8 million following his conviction.
