Mookie Tenembaum is the founder of the Disillusionism think-tank, a philosophy that
states:

1. Reality as we experience it is a teleological narrative, i.e. goal-directed, in which material and illusory parts tend to converge.

2. This narrative facilitates and allows the individual to interact out of inertia, in synchrony and in tune with “the other” and “the others”.

3. This interaction occurs, in turn, escaping from and dealing with an endless string of suffering and trying to handle it, with the threat of our own terrifying death always on the horizon.

    Topic of the week - Our love affair with myths

    Are we addicted to myths? Our tendency to seek  illusions has to do with our willingness to believe in myths and to forge  a narrative.  This narrative is a biased interpretation of the things that were relevant in our lives.  We need those milestones, which in turn become myths.  Thus, those myths are reliefs we are compelled  to seek

    Topic of the week - Unveiling human nature via the pandemic Part 1: the meaning of "essential"

    Topic of the week - Unveiling human nature via the pandemic Part 1: the meaning of "essential"

    During the pandemic the question what is "essential" arose. That is to say that "I need" as opposed to "I want". The difference between wanting or needing something is the intensity of suffering that its absence would cause us. Interestingly,  I want becomes I need while in our inner narrative.

    Topic of the week - The vaccine: omission accomplished

    The only thing we do in life is avoiding suffering. Trusting makes "sleepwalking" smoother for us, because while we "sleepwalk", we do not suffer.

    Topic of the week - The "now you see it, now you don't" effect

    After our disappointment with the State through its  inability to handle the pandemic, Tenembaum this week analyzes certain attitudes of the “players” of the State illusion, choosing  distraction as a strategy to avoid suffering.

    Topic of the week - The hidden Fourth Estate: The Federal Reserve

    An illusion depends on the degree of credibility it inspires. The failure of the democratic states in the fight against Covid 19 exposed the illusory condition of the three branches of government. Only the Fed and the other Central Banks remained as a sort of fourth estate by issuing huge sums of money. Even so, both the Fed and money will reveal themselves to us for what they are: mere illusions.
