May 22 Word of the Day
A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.
Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:
* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic

"The Nineties politically started with the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolving on December 26, 1991, and ended with both the 2000 Presidential election which saw the victory of George W. Bush and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 which left people so stupefied that it functioned as something of a cultural reset button." - TV Tropes' article on the 1990s

A group of rocks with a message written in twelve languages (notably, this includes English, Sanskrit, and Classical Greek), essentially advocating a world Government. These were erected and funded by an anonymous donor using the pseudonym Robert C. Christian, so we do not know if this is an individual or a representative of a group, and how much power and influence they have.
The "guide" part comes from the content of this message: a list of instructions. The instructions, as in the English inscriptions, are:
1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
2. Guide reproduction wisely — improving fitness and diversity.
3. Unite humanity with a living new language.
4. Rule passion — faith — tradition — and all things with tempered reason.
5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
8. Balance personal rights with social duties.
9. Prize truth — beauty — love — seeking harmony with the infinite.
10. Be not a cancer on the Earth — Leave room for nature — Leave room for nature.

Person A: The Georgia Guidestones prove that there is at least one person with at least some influence advocating a world government.
Person B: That would be a huge blow to individual liberty! And with a monopolous world government and a digital currency, you would only need a madman in power to instate communism! And since all politicians are pretty much mad anyway, that would not take long!
Person A: Let them try. Let the world crash and burn as communism fails once and for all. Humanity has risen from its own ashes again. We are a cockroach upon nature, and now that we have declared war, we can no longer back down.
