The reason for this
chronicle is that I've seen a general lack of real time info from any reliable
source on how our past conversion from civilisation to savagery (apartheid to
multi-party democracy) occurred in real time. Now all the info we have is scraped
together, moderated and presented to us by the victor (the savage).
It won't be all factual, and very often a prediction of the future. But most important, it will be an indication and inspection on the hearts and minds and role players of the time. Because, things that are unpopular today, like calling apartheid civilisation, might not be unpopular after a big strong revolution.
But to try and understand why there were so many who so strongly believed South Africa's Rainbow nation couldn't possibly fail. They so strongly believed it that they were willing to outcast and excommunicate those who knew it would fail, as if those non-believers believed that the world was round when it was very clearly flat. And now that it failed many liberals blame the fact that it failed on the belief that it would. Like the earth now being round because they believed it to be.
And why, those who very clearly knew that it would fail were so few, and how they knew it for so long. They didn't exactly know when, but had a pretty good idea, plus minus 20 years. But the thing is I don't have clear reference on who said what when yet.
But in our quest to uncover how they knew this and what evidence they used, we will scour the internet and find the sources of their scientific predictions.
The idea is not so we can pat these people on the back, the idea is so we can recognise these people before it’s too late. Before calamity. So we can assess the characteristics and the traits they possess. To know how to scientifically recognise this minority of people who are able to an extent, correctly predict the future. To be able to, with proof, tell our future generations who they should be listening to and that they should probably not be listening to the majority. But to those we identify through historical reference to be competent to decide on things concerning our future. Through science. Models designed by scientists using data, not a popularity scale, but historical data. Not to prove that these people were right, because it is clear they were, but to find out how they knew and how they knew so long before.
Because if only we have listened to these few before, we could have avoided this calamity (if you read the news you'll know) we face today. Because the majority can clearly see we've made a mistake today, but today is too late.
