Europe

“France, wake up!” : Yves Roucaute calls for a spiritual revolution in the face of European decline

France is sad, France is afraid, and its youth no longer believes in anything, if not the crying after. Taken between the American protectionist tsunami and the subtle Chinese offensive, it comes out of history. His evil? Deep, deeper than its debt: a spiritual evil. With it, all of Europe pays the immeasurable error of the European elites to have refused the reference to its Judeo-Christian roots in the treaties. Human nature horrified emptiness, the prophets of unhappiness have rushed into the fault: anti -capitalism, ecologism, wokism, transgenderism, laxity in the face of Islamism and anti -Semitism, decrease and rejection of innovations….

Result: instead of participating in the Contemporary Time Revolution, which my book today is happiness gives the keys through the travel diaries of a vagabond that follows the history of humanity from prehistory to the present day, Europe wishes to pass the train. It is unable to grasp that the release of creativity, via innovation, is the path that combines power and wealth of nations with individual happiness.

Whether innovation is the path of the power of nations, Donald Trump and Elon Musk, all to their desire for hegemony, understood this. Hence their desire to tackle bureaucracy, lower taxes and taxes, to no longer squander public money via environmental bonuses and green financing, to support the extractive and transformative industries, to extricate obscurantist ideologies. But, blinded by the idolatries of power and the market, this offensive protectionism has perverse effects: inflation, due to the increase in imports, threatens to retaliatory customs and, above all, distress of the allies, antiamericalism exacerbated from their enemies and brake on the globalization of knowledge that nourished American power and humanity too. Donald Trump is not Ronald Reagan who associated power and universal values.

Spiritual revolution

Can Europe wake up? Far behind the United States, with $ 18,500 billion in GDP against almost 30,000 billion, a Germany in recession, a first France but in samples and debts … Can we believe it when its best advance in artificial intelligence is to have produced five regulations to limit it?

The urgency is to store ideologies and idolatries to the attic. Only one solution: the revolution… spiritual which leads not to leave a single ideology in place.

“As the God of the Bible wants, men have launched the race for growth”

Thus, from the first station met by the vagabond, “The state of nature”it cuts ecologism to the scalpel. He learned in particular by Mary, the first name is not trivial, that 21 of the 22 species of the genus Homo have been exterminated by sweet Gaïa in 2.8 million years via glaciations, warming, earthquakes, volcanoes, lethal bacteria … He understands why, 11,700 years ago, our surviving ancestors, only 500,000, said “Courage, let’s flee!” »» instead of “Let’s save the planet!” »». He notes that by sedentary to dominate nature, as the God of the Bible wants, they launched the race for growth from which he admires the benefits: 8 billion humans, 74 -year -old life expectancy, world GDP from $ 45 billion in 1400 to 100,000 billion in 2024.

Arrived by the East Express at the following stations, Summer, against wokism, he discovers that all civilizations, without exception, were colonialist, slavery, imperialists. But the Christian West dazzles him because only he proclaimed the universal prohibition of slavery and human rights, in the name of the Creator God.

From moral relativism to the fear of artificial intelligence, we must respond scientifically to all anxieties and discover the 4 keys, these 4 columns of our inner temple, these 4 antidotes to unhappiness due to nature, to others as wars, to ourselves with this contempt for the body and the “me”, to the belief that our nature would be guilty.

But freeing creativity is not only aimed at power. Faced with despair, we must offer our fellow citizens the formula of happiness. Since creativity is our own nature, in the image of the creative God: creativity towards nature, towards others, towards his body, then happiness is in the realization of our nature. From the handyman to the entrepreneur, from the sportsman to the journalist who writes his article, happiness is at our feet, distinct from pleasure, joy, contemplation, bliss. Its formula is in one word: “Create! ». And, the French, as my vagabond does, will give meaning to their lives. They will be able to reach the honey valley which is in them, which will allow them to love their neighbor, instead of wanting to dominate it, and to commune with the creative energy of the world. Yes, France, find your roots, wake up, believe in your power, believe in happiness!
