Chris Hedges Interviewed in Pulse
Chris Hedges discusses war, death, morality and governments in PULSE - BERLINDo you believe in progress when it comes to historical processes surrounding conflict?
No. Progress doesn’t exist. Time is not linear; time is cyclical. Societies mature, degenerate, and die. That’s history. The whole concept of linear progress is a myth. It doesn’t exist. And it’s what is used to anesthetize a population so that they just agree to everything the technocrats and those in power tell them. It’s not real. We don’t morally evolve. The tools change, but we don’t. The belief in moral progress is the great curse of the Enlightenment.
