Consider this from <strong>Valentin Tomberg<\/strong>&#8216;s doctoral dissertation.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nA system, an order may be as useful and good as can be &mdash; ultimately it depends on <strong>people<\/strong>, who abandon, relinquish, reinterpret, falsify, or simply betray it. And the number of a system&#8217;s (loyal or disloyal) &#8220;guardians&#8221; need not be large. Often it takes only a few dozen people to destroy a generally recognized order. The big problem does not consist so much of which system to choose and how to organize the world, but of how and where to find <strong>people<\/strong>, who are truly of good will and who can be <strong>trusted<\/strong>. For ultimately, we are dealing with the element of trust. There is no system &mdash; neither domestic nor international &mdash; that can exist without trust as its final, practical, basic substance. For even with ten levels of control, there still must be &mdash; as the <strong>eleventh<\/strong> level &mdash; a <strong>final<\/strong> instance of control which can be trusted.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A system, an order may be as useful and good as can be &mdash; ultimately it depends on people, who abandon, relinquish, reinterpret, falsify, or simply betray it. <span class=\"continue-reading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gornahoor.net\/?p=420\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14734,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,111],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-420","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics","category-valentin-tomberg"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gornahoor.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/420","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gornahoor.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gornahoor.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gornahoor.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gornahoor.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=420"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/gornahoor.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/420\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16060,"href":"https:\/\/gornahoor.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/420\/revisions\/16060"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gornahoor.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/14734"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gornahoor.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=420"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gornahoor.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=420"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gornahoor.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=420"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
