When someone as young as Shelley was advocating for Atheism, as equally were so many other so-called Romantics across Europe, we can see how the efflorescence of the European intellect took a wrong turn and betrayed so many disillusioned Europeans. Leading to formalizing detrimental and bleak morality-free doctrines like Objectivism, Racialism, Communism, Hedonism, and a bleak and crass Materialism. In the place of Religion and a connection with God, the Romantics and other Europeans turned to the worship of the false idols created by limited minds indicative of a moribund human nature and desire to devolve rather than evolve. Pining for the past while ignoring the real reason for disillusionment and the coldness of modernity, the Romantics erred by not realizing that the root of their disenchantment and growing angst was the Decline of Religion that had been underway ever since the Middle Ages in Europe. The Romantics by divorcing themselves from God reverted back to the Stone Age and Hunter-Gatherer Animism and Paganism, albeit expressing a sort of refinement of the senses and appreciation for the importance of connecting with lofty sentiments and writing with such skill and sensitivity. The worship of Nature is what happens in the unevolved mind or minds of those who chose to renounce a belief in a Higher Being than themselves. The Europeans then were driven perforce to embrace the mentality of being connected only to one's immediate racial, national, and cultural community. Rather than striving for Oneness with all of humanity, too many Europeans rushed to be at one with the lower kingdom and one's personal and sensual desires and feelings. What the Romantics were really expressing in microcosm was the feeling that humans across the world were in need for a major renewal of Religion in the wake of the declining former Religions sent by God. A decline that had to happen per the Divine mandate called "Progressive Revelation". What he Romantics were feeling unbeknownst to them was the imminent appearance of one named Baha'u'llah(birthname Mirza Husayn Ali) and His Predecessor, Siyyid Ali Muhammad(aka "The Bab"), both of whom would appear in Iran(Persia formerly) in 1863 and 1844, respectively. www.bahai.org

Meanwhile, today in Britain a king is still head of state but now enjoying a luxurious lifestyle without the responsibilities. Our second legislative chamber, The House of Lords, remains entirely unelected and has more members than ever before. The aristocracy keep their stolen lands and their titles. This is Britain in 2023!

Being 70, lifelong learning, understanding, observation, experience, re-examination 24/7 365. Humanity is an collective of innocently ignorant born again failures who want success without the means or understanding of what success and failure are. There is no manual to being or life, there are books, millions of them that postulate 'this is the way' all written by conscious cognosentient innocently ignorant born again beings. And so it goes.

The students who are “suffering” through this documentary remind me of the Mark Twain quote… “When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.” ~ Mark Twain

Those who believe would say the 'evidence' for a Creator is life itself. The Romantics were narcissistic, neurotic and in many cases morally degenerate (Byron having sex with his own sister while his wife was giving birth in an upstairs room). I wonder how many silly women would romanticise such a creature if it was their own husband behaving in such a way. Many were wealthy or titled so therefore they have been glamourised.

There are a couple of people I have always wished I could go back in time and 'rescue' from their fates. Van Gough is one, Keat's the other, both 'innocents' in many ways, both blessed with deep empathy, genius and tragedy in equal measure.
