When is an idea valid for all of mankind? Is it when it becomes accepted by the majority of the people? No. Why? Because deductive forms of thinking based on public opinion are always false.
Similarly, the deductive thinker believes that a new scientific experiment is validated when it proves that the current scientific theory is correct. That is also wrong. In fact, a new experiment is validated only when it shows that the current scientific knowledge is false.
Contrary to all popular logic, new ideas become valid when they go against public opinion, by means of a three-step-test of truthfulness: First, when the truth of the new idea starts seeping through the fibers of society under a hidden form until its time comes to change the past; secondly, when its detractors start making up lies about it in order to hide the danger of its truthfulness; and thirdly, when its detractors finally self-destruct under the load of their own lies.
The ancient Chinese idea of self-restraint for the sake of others is about this principle of change, and that’s what is presently emerging around the planet as the new governing paradigm for the future of mankind.
