I Learn About The “Georgia Guidestones”

I gave a speech on Sunday hitting on the threats to human exceptionalism. I brought up my concern about deep ecology’s call to reduce humankind to under 1 billion, as well as Spain passing the Great Ape Project, Switzerland’s “plant dignity,” and Ecuador’s granting rights to Nature.

During the Q and A, an audience member asked me what I thought of the Georgia Guide Stones. I had never heard of them, but promised to look it up. Here is what I found. From Wikipedia, I learned that that huge granite monoliths were erected by unknown persons in 1979, written in different languages. The Stones’ message pushes one world government, and may involve occultism, issues with which we don’t concern ourselves here. Some of it is feel good pabulum. But some of the directives do appear to chillingly call for eugenics and the imposition of a deep ecology that would require mass human extermination—issues with which we are very much involved here at SHS. Here is the Stone’s message:

MAINTAIN HUMANITY UNDER 500,000,000 IN PERPETUAL BALANCE WITH NATURE

GUIDE REPRODUCTION WISELY—IMPROVING FITNESS AND DIVERSITY

UNITE HUMANITY WITH A LIVING NEW LANGUAGE

RULE PASSION—FAITH—TRADITION AND ALL THINGS WITH TEMPERED REASON

PROTECT PEOPLE AND NATIONS WITH FAIR LAWS AND JUST COURTS

LET ALL NATIONS RULE INTERNALLY RESOLVING EXTERNAL DISPUTES IN A WORLD COURT

AVOID PETTY LAWS AND USELESS OFFICIALS

BALANCE PERSONAL RIGHTS WITH SOCIAL DUTIES.

PRIZE TRUTH—BEAUTY—LOVE —SEEKING HARMONY WITH THE INFINITE

BE NOT A CANCER ON THE EARTH—LEAVE ROOM FOR NATURE—LEAVE ROOM FOR NATURE

Hmmm. This could be the inspiration for the remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still.
