There is no alternative

I humbly suggest that the way 'we' do things is not the only way 'we' could do things. Therefore, it should be easy for me to describe an obvious alternative but can I?

I have recently bought a boat and I now live in it on the UK canal network. 2,200 miles of conected waterways. Let us imagine 10 women, who also live on boats and have decided to travel together. That should not be difficult to imagine. These women have now formed a community. This is what I believe most women do, they naturally form communities.

If women form communities, what do men do? Men like to build things and do useful things. Capable men would likely be allowed into this community. They would service, repair, upgrade and maintain the boats.

It wouldn't be much of a surprise if some of the women became pregnant and birthed children.

This is the core of an alternative to what we currently have. Not everyone living on boats but you can perhaps see how new communities could develop. 

 Justice and order would evolve organically and naturally as disputes, disagreements and different opinions are settled from a community perspective.

There would be many communities with each member free to come and go as they please.

That is the natural order of things.

You can perhaps imagine how some communities would grow quite large and others remain small. Local governments could form and disband as they are and aren't needed. National Governments could form but with quite limited powers relative to a normal man, woman or child.

 

What we have is quite unnatural. The Government 'appears' to have all the power which is quite the illusion. I won't mention 'sovereignty' again but that would apply to our 'new' communities.

My suggestion to women is, go create and join some communities that you enjoy being part of.

To men I suggest you become physically fit and useful, then be very wary of which communities you join. Making sure that you are both welcome and respected, for the value that you add.

To everyone, I suggest that anyone exerting any power over you be held fully accountable for their actions and you ought to insist that they explain why they incorrectly believe that they hold any power over you.

Be polite and respectful but also firm if you feel comfortable with being assertive.

That's it. Get your mindset sorted and live a natural life. You need not wait for anyone else to do it first.

Fear and Anger

 The world can be viewed as a complex system with 8 billion components. With people being the 8 billion components. Even this is a simpification as I have ignored everything else on the planet, which is a complex system with far more components.

To control a system with just two components, you need to add three more components to it. The same idea means that to control two people, you need t o add an additional three people.

Government is becoming increasingly about control. More control rather than less. Yes, there are many reasons given for each new control measure. EASILY REMEMBERED 'SOUND BITES' FOR THE NON-CRITICAL THINKERS TO REGURGITATE AT WILL

The main feature of a system with 8 billion components is complexity. Simple explanations for each 'media event' never really tackle any level of complexity. We get unintended consequences for a great many of our governments policy changes. This is a feature of a complex system, they are impossible to control.

Government is becoming more controlling but will never gain full control. At some point, control will be lost. This 'fear' drives our governments to ever more draconian measures to sustain control.

Thanks for reading this far, I read something recently and one sentence stuck with me. It was 'To get a picture of how much of your wealth is being taxed, look at how much your government is spending.'

Well, our governments spend vast sums on data collection and processing via our Intelligence Communities. Part of this is used to assess the mood of the nation and to determine how information is being processed and communicated. Getting more control over this via censorship helps with increasing overall government control.

Vast sums are being spent on AI (Artificail Intelligence.) No doubt our governments are aware of how this can be used to gain more control over their electorate.

The title of this piece is 'Fear and Anger'. I notice that the UK Government and the US Government are really ramping up on aggressive speaches. For many years  have actively tried not to listen to the news but even I have become aware of the 'fighting talk' comng from mine and the US Govt.

Whiping up anger and fear in the populace is a very old school method of increasing control over us. A fearful and angry population wants things done and big government steps in with measures that increase their control over us.

Most do not see this, as most aren't hyper senstive to control.

I nearly titled this post as, 'When does the nonsense end?' For many of my readers, it already has.

The trick is to not react to mainstream media, social media or our Governments with fear or anger. Each 'story' that elicits fear means that you are more likely to accept a new control measure. Each 'story' that elicits anger could be 'seen' by others who fear your anger.

You can become far more aware of others attempting control over you by listening to the words they are selecting. You could play 'control bingo'. Each time they use a 'controlling word', you can mark it off your 'bingo' sheet.

The post ends here but I will list a few 'controlling' words below, to get you started.

Terrorist

Global Threat

Extremist

Law and Order

Public safety

Emergency Measure

 

No doubt, you will notice many more. I really don't listen to them any more.

You take care. 

PS Fear and anger are stress responses, which shuts down many of the bodies systems, temporarily, to give you an energy boost. A consequence of this is rapid ageing.

The End Game

Many people wonder why or what their Government is up to. I live in the UK and many wonder what exactly our PM is up to. Conspiracy theories often become far too complex and complicated in their attempt to capture every detail. I will keep this simple.

You may have heard of Think Tanks, which were founded to help governments invest tax payer wealth into projects that would generate the greatest benefit for all.

Think Tanks make for very valuable targets for people who like the idea of controlling other peoples wealth. A small subset of these people really like the idea of controlling entire populations.

Our society does not readily identify this type of person. Sheer persistence and luck means that some think tanks have been captured by those who seek control.

These corrupted think tanks then have the opportunity to waste public wealth for their own aims. Perhaps worse, they encourage government to enact laws which further centralise power.

The End Game is for populations to fully accept each government policy change because it is based on expert opinion guided by Think Tanks.

Any vocal opinion that does not allign with the official government expert opinion is damped down and the person involved will find themselves experiencing sustained bad luck.

This starts with an individual with an inate need for control and a complete lack of humanity. We don't have a word for such a person and so they are invisible to us. Such a person seeks centres of control and then use that control to accumulate more control. The End Game for them is to seek ever more control until the day they die.

We are in a very unfortunate situation where many of these 'control people' have got levels of control, which combined with their lack of humanity, makes for interesting times.

I like Science Fiction and many of you may be familiar with Blade Runner. Special Police Officers were tasked with just one role. Seek out synthetic humans and decommision them. Perhaps we ought to consider seeking out the individuals I describe above and retire them.

We could seek them out very easily and then ask them the 'Blade Runner' style questions to determine if they lack humanity. If they are deemed lacking then we retire them. By retire, I mean that they contiue to draw their salary for the remaining length of their contract but they no longer do anything. An unintended consequence of this may mean that we are more careful about who we hire to these powerful roles.

I realise that a lack of humanity is a little vague. That was a technique I employed to engage your imagination rather than have you judge the merit of this blog before pondering it. The part of humanity that these beings lack is empathy for their fellow man.

Perhaps I can make this really simple. 

Do you or can you believe that some people have zero empathy?

Do you or can you believe that some people always seek control over others?

Do you or can you believe that there are some people with no empathy, that in any given situation will always seek control over others?

As time goes by, the accumulated effects of these rare people increases. A tipping point will be reached where they cannot be removed. The End Game being societal collapse.

Bonus section.

The people discussed above are rare but subconsciously, around 15% of the population will help them to achieve their goals. The remaining 85% of the population do have empathy and this blinds them to the antics of those who don't.

Anyway, I am good and I hope that you are too.
