This is the most intense post in a long time.
Something that has worried me for years comes up with this: the sheer fucking stupidity of the masses.
Is there a way to improve this, or circumvent it, so I know not to worry? Or is it somehow a non-issue in the bigger picture, that I must just ignore?
I think it is always very easy to blame the masses for many things, but a much greater problem is the ignorance and stupidity of those in power, rather than the masses who simply follow the dictates of those with power over them.
Even if the masses do remain stupid, if those in power are heroic and wise, enlightened beings, the masses will follow their dictates and live better and elevate themselves naturally.
This also puts responsibility to the wise and capable people of greater potential, as it is the duty of the capable to manifest this potential and become people of power able to lead the masses and elevate them.
If the person of potential only complains about the stupidity of the masses and the ignorance of those in power while squandering their own potential and not doing anything to change or improve the situation, they too are equally responsible for perpetuating this state of low consciousness and darkness.
The masses do not have the capacity to change this state themselves, or elevate us into the Golden Age, only the Heroic few who stand out among the masses can initiate and manifest this, which in an oversimplified view of the process, will spread through the consciousness of the masses and eventually lead to a full elevation of the people to a higher state of enlightenment overall, thus initiating a Golden Age.
yehuborim and others try to weaponize the stupidity of the masses against itself and against Heroic people in an attempt to prevent enlightenment, but this is not something which should stop the Heroic Soul, the Heroic one is Heroic precisely they can cut through all these obstacles and do what is necessary to initiate a conscious shift towards enlightenment and bring people closer to the Gods and out of the Darkness.
Those who stand out among the masses have choices either to do nothing, or to act, and also to either choose a higher path or to fall to ignorance and egomania like their lesser peers. If they reject the "easier" paths, they will step on the path of Heroism and become initiators of the Golden Age, either knowingly or even unknowingly.
Many in power throughout the ages had countless opportunities to become Heroic, but very few truly did.
That is really what has kept us back all this time, as the masses simply follow the dictates given by those with power over them, until another one who ignites Heroic potential stands out amongst them and initiates a different and better course.
In simple terms, the masses will love to return to Zeus and follow Him if they are lead to this, rather than the dictates of abrahamism, but they cannot do this on their own and require Heroic people to open up this different path for them, which after it is opened to them they will gladly follow it and elevate themselves eagerly even if they would fundamentally still be the sheepish or stupid masses.
