In further considering our modern social dynamic - it is that there have never been more people alive.

In that then, along with various other things to consider, it is that there have never been as many celebrity type of special people.

That body of special people predominantly consists of sheer audacity in the modern day - which as well consists largely of un-informed perspectives beyond immediate needs and wants making for, essentially an un-informed and rather large influence.

It is a pronounced difference within existence at the least, than is the average day in the life of an individual within modern societies.

Again, never before has such a social area been constructed.

I can see the use in such tendencies of focus (in the larger sense) within its design, perhaps being to address that phenomenon/process of concept into application . This through actually maintaining that difference, that lack of insight (well within the solidified application are of that process )- thus limiting the prospective damage from said phenomenon through such magnified and concentrated area of focus as is/are such stations - in limiting the effect of such audacity (for instance) to essentially frivolous (contained) areas within that transformative process.

Modern celebrity through modern mediums especially - exists firmly within that which is solidified in application and further is contained spatially within a collective capacity (as well as a community in many respects) within those constraints I have mentioned as per frequency consistencies and the resulting area within our perspective due to production consistencies (among other things) which I have mentioned as well.

In so many words, again - that area of/where-in the media exists within our perspective - is really a very limited and contained box like area within our larger capacity potential(s) - a person might even liken it to a burn spot. ~

This then gives rise to the realization that the challenging realities within that over consistency has actually begun to supersede the actual process phenomenon I am (and have) describing - even before we as a species have fully recognized that transformation process.

The razing and reshaping of that over solidified area through such artificial means (over and over again especially) being perceived by some (most perhaps) as a process of existence - even as it is entirely contained within that area of result and itself, of course. This due to the fact that it is a fabricated (and amplified) emulation of that process in result of said concept into application phenomenon. ~

This presents another duality of sorts (and yet another emulation within our modern society(ies) of existence) which is then further diversified through mass interpretations (perceptions on the whole).

For instance - consider social consistency within society as layers so to speak - not so much class or racial, but more capacity consistencies co-existing in different volumes and levels (frequency consistency - wave forms as another example).

I could see Einstein comparing with his idea of co-existing time dimensions (what I know of it) as illustration in an effort to efficiently convey the structure layers of varying capacity/perception.

Within these consistencies, then must surely be further consistencies within each categorized consistency/capacity level and in relation to different represented ratios within that concept/idea to application process.

For instance, some walks demonstrating deep capacity in the concept area with a more shallow effect toward application - while yet others may be more shallow within the concept consideration but more in depth toward an application sense - and then of course, various combinations of said ratio throughout other consistent areas as/of example.

The sum total of those aspects (variations in degree) in combination, then yielding our modern reality - though a version of it consisting largely of that amplified emulation. Some as mentioned, existing almost entirely within that solidified area produced by application with little insight into anything beyond it.

This duality, beyond that consistency, existing largely un-noticed as per containment (limited aspects) within common perception.

Again some thoughts on the consumer mentality of our modern society; When I consider it, the over all stop and go action within it actually serves as a compressor of sorts - especially given the larger dichotomy tendencies I have explored.

Such isn't very efficient given the base goals seeming to be intended within the concept(s) itself, but is predictable and really no surprise given the considerable lack of attention to the living concept(s) itself within the effect and result of the modern automation.

One of the initial goals was/is to not only accommodate political diversity, but to utilize it as well as a means to promote the health of the mechanism itself, and society in general.

It occurs to me that within the single monetary system, this becomes more and more difficult given the automation aspects and the over all consumer mentality within it which in turn creates that compression.

As I have explored elsewhere, I can even further see the benefit of introducing a monetary diversity.

It seems that such could diffuse the ill effects of that consumer mentality through utilizing it more efficiently within that diversity.

The more I consider it, given the social diversity and mind set, such monetary diversity could be key in actually maintaining and maintaining the health of any Republic and/or Representative Democracy.

The modern tendency is one of grouping politically around one of two larger ideas due mostly to the constraints of the single monetary option, influence and distribution. ~

When I consider it, everyone is simply looking for the optimum situation for themselves and their interests to be more productive, with as few compromises to those interests as they can manage.

Short of those interests being totalitarian, tyrannical rule and control - such diversity in said variations of notes seems it would benefit the majority and minorities alike. ~

As speculation then (as previously explored), is such a benefit worth pursuing as per the effects of said diversity in what would surely manifest as sorts of sub-groupings?

It seems that such would be healthy stimulation in a competitive sense as well. Even maximizing the existing (or rather perhaps the intended from my perspective) dynamic between the three branch's themselves, through said diversity. Although, again within my opinion, the effects of it should be made to check the monopoly tendencies of over concentrations within said sub-groupings. ~

Such could easily be implemented efficiently with no ill effect to existing value or worth as per the single monetary system (which of course would remain in place).

As my initial thought, and as per my personal leanings - I would begin such a project in basing such diversification around some other, naturally existing form of loose segregation in society - perhaps something such as baseball (other sports) teams?

NOT affiliating said diversification with those teams - but more utilizing that loosely established area design. Within its geographic diversification especially and as well.

Perhaps another could be the use of existing ports - perhaps former distribution of minting facilities? ~

Metaphorically speaking - and to apply a concept as I have explored within that small degree shift of perspective, such could then be likened to a modern hybrid engine in social function on the larger scale. ~ Even having exchange rates as per local economies - and thus preserving the diversity of such existing economies from region to region - area of diversity, to area of diversity. Much through utilizing the existing single monetary system in conjunction.

In essence and applied ideology, using the effect and result Conorcet observed as"...transient fluctuations of opinion" within a multiple monetary system in conjunction with the initial single monetary system which already exists.

07/17/2006

As a metaphoric depiction of the social movement in our modern day as per that consumer mentality, I happened upon a thought which utilizes the instincts of most animals in illustration.

If it were that a rat were attached to a hungry snakes tail - that snake then striking to devour what it saw as prey, only beginning to ingest its own tail as well - it would put into action (as a visual) a series and dynamic which can be compared to the modern social dynamic.

As the snake consumed its own body - instinctively, without realizing it that snake would move to remove its tail and own body from its own mouth - while simultaneously such movement in the effort of its own body escaping would trigger the instinct to lunge even further and bite deeper (though, this being into itself) - still only knowing its own body as part of that rat it struck to devour.

The pain it would feel with its own efforts to maintain its hold would only act to further magnify the movement(s) within the situation through serving to amplify the instinctive reaction to devour and maintain its hold on the perceived prey. ~

Our modern social dynamic is much the same in many ways - and within my belief, is evidence of having thus far failed to ascend in ways intellectually - that is, in considering the aspects of existence and the potentials within the human capacity - while continuing to progress technologically. Essentially magnifying and refining that human animal element as described previously, which of course, in a similar manner as the action within the metaphor, acts to encourage a similar result in social and progressive movement considering humanity as a whole. ~

This brings another aspect to light in the ancient usage of a snake both growing and devouring itself, simultaneously as one of the metaphors depicting existence and perhaps the perceived movement of all - from a given time period.

In a fictitious manner, this depiction begins to make some sense in an artistic way, but soon loses that topical reasoning with the introduction of actual tendencies within such a species as is the human being. Especially when it is that the potentials having been set aside for more immediate gains within that lunging pattern are considered. ~

In another perspective, said usage and topically perceived meaning serves to illustrate another facet within that potential to progress within human capacity - and as well is another example of that perspective representing a limited and contained representation of all - and that cusp of reasoning and realization, which seems could be so much more without applying our flawed limitation (as is such an imposed limitation for those reasons of want in understanding among other things).

It is that tendency to have perspective and explanation then becoming limitation - which in turn contributes to the most profound of structures becoming more of a limiting impedance than what it was first set forward in an effort to illustrate and understand.

In essence, somehow as we present something which aids in the progress and understanding - in absorbing it and then applying it as a rigid representation, we then in effect pose a limitation to even the very idea once presented. Within such application and usage, it could easily be stated from that perspective - that through human attention even the idea of God (for instance) has gotten much smaller so to speak. Even the words omnipotence and omni-present fail to convey that which they were first devised to depict.

Yet again I see this as a part of our tendencies as a species in that process of moving from concept to application.

I do not believe that such rigidity and solidification is entirely necessary or mandatory.

Only that such is in its place within our current advancement and levels of realization.

Laughably though, given what I have observed regarding the consumer mentality and dynamic of the self devouring snake - it might be that our species on the whole is more suspended than is readily evident. Stuck, with our tail in our mouth, afraid to miss out in losing a meal.

Again illustrating the limitation of our own existence.

How then to progress without that limiting failure of conscious effort?

Without the detrimental and destructive results which arise from such concerted failures in effort?

Without the impedance of our own existence and rigid structures?

Perhaps through the use of ignorance? Not perceived or inferred inferiority or stupidity, but ignorance. Ignorance of which we all possess in some degree pertaining to something or other.

I am drawn to consider Faguet's work titled The Cult Of Incompetence - and see in my rather vague recollection of the particulars within it, perhaps a bit of hidden wisdom - though again perhaps, in a hind sight sort of un-intended way.

It seems that through applying such in smaller, more contained scale areas than is set forward in the Cult Of Incompetence, a society might be able to move past that self consuming concept/application/stagnation. If only even to surface momentarily beyond it?

Such would seem, upon thought, that it must be utilized in more than simple application (as per verbatim/literal translation) which would render much the same results as any other rigid, imposed limitation it would seem... as if it would need to somehow be insulated from the aspect of even the effort in utilizing the ideologies set forward in that work - as is obvious, such effort is then within that area of imposed limitation though it is that part of the limitation in this instance would be the lack of acknowledging it.

Again, in considering that tendency to limit ourselves in application (most times through effort), I find a greater interest in observing such more - it doesn't seem to be a paradox per say, as it doesn't seem to be of opposing/cyclical values - but more a process which we tend to hasten with and within action in application (effort). ~

The use of ignorance is very much the only way I can see at the moment, to supersede that tendency - it seems, from my current perspective - the only way to actually progress (which is the similarity to paradox). To progress that is, without the stagnation and limited (even bottle necking) dynamic.

This then presents another problematic area within this line of thought - being that most who could be considered ignorant in that applicable manner, are now ruled by a greater consistency having been produced through the process and result of imposed limitations (the media for instance being a part of that consistency), which then sets into action that self consuming cycle, as well as greatly sets limitations which are hardly ever considered.

As a note - that familiarity within those limitations hardly ever perceived in our day, is again a form of ignorance - but as is obvious, is not the sort of ignorance which would be conducive in the liberation of the human capacity to which ever degree. Itself (that form of ignorance) being already firmly within rigid structures of imposed limitations. So rigid in many cases, as no longer even to be perceived as of and from the progress of humanity to begin with. Perhaps then, within such an atmosphere it is that the use of ignorance in such a way - then in result is only efficient of and within those non-perceived areas of containment? Which then, in the extreme sense will only yield turmoil - perceived chaos - in the more rigid and confined areas, even within the ignorance of the existing imposed limitations to which those within it have been conditioned?

Such usage and application of such a work seems as though it could be great entertainment of itself while actually functioning for other ends effortlessly, as well. Further said ignorance (which we all possess to one degree or another) - is representative of unused capacity in my opinion. Not that the ignorance is to be filled or removed - but only that the existence of it is representative of the potentials themselves. Unused potential which seems can only be used efficiently without conscious effort on the part of its possessor and further without purposeful displacement of it in efforts from other parties.

An animal can't be considered ignorant in that manner, as such lack of reasoning is a lack of the sort of capacity potentials I am referring to. They (animals) don't possess ignorance per say. ~

This then, lends some insight into the seeming progression within humanity to promote the better human animal elements as opposed to refining the human qualities and potentials.

So.... Within this line of thought then, in order to preserve (and promote) the actual potential progress of the human species - as a species then, there must be preserved some level of ignorance for which to utilize in stabilizing that tendency toward imposed limitations. ~

Staving the laughter at the moment, I don't see that as being all too difficult!

In a more serious note, it would seem that such balance of potential and said ignorance will be maintained within the process of growing, from early childhood - this being only one example source of said variations in/of ignorance. ~

As I grow in my studies, this area will be one of interest in addressing that tendency from concept to application.

There must be several ways to address it - there just have to be.

If there weren't, there wouldn't be any other pitches besides fast balls!

In transforming some of my other notes into document form, it is that I found a bit more insight into what I am currently exploring and observing as per recent journal entries- Aside form the growing consumer mentality within society - in a larger sense in regard to human progress I realize (especially after again considering my perspectives as per Proximity Gestation in regard to species) that a similar dynamic is transpiring.

From the perspective of my opinion pertaining to elemental levels of human/animal strains within any given species - I realize that even within our seemingly innate tendency to purify the human element, in reality we are really only refining a better human animal. This I see as partly being due to the focus and use of instincts in choosing the stronger mate.

We actually employ that animal element in such decisions, which in turn then must be satisfied as per said animal instinct in relation directly to human standards (monetary wealth, career potential), which in turn then contributes to the refinement of the human animal more than the refinement of the human element. ~

The progression of digression (as explored previously) then adding exponentially to this effect in refining the human animal instead of the human potential.

Being able to discern this - is it then really necessary to attempt to refine or purify the human strain? Especially considering the common method so similar to animals that we seemingly gravitate toward in selective breeding?

Such is obviously an inate, even un-recognized tendency within human development - But, given our ability and capacity to recognize such - does that not mean we then have the option of NOT pursuing such tendencies toward and in such directions?

What reasons have we in such efforts? Isn't what we are, enough?

Obviously we don't even maximize out human potentials now - why then adhere to the seemingly instinctual tendencies to separate ourselves from those animal elements? In light as well, of the manner in which we simultaneously employ them? And further in the fact that all we have managed to achieve within such efforts, is in promoting the refinement of the human animal instead of promoting the progress of the human potential?

If this is all that there is, then why would we seemingly be pre-disposed to such instinctive betterment? ~

Our normal tendency then, in following that animal instinct 9especially the topical manipulations of it - money, credit cards) in regard to mating - then means, again, that our modern direction isn't in promoting the refinement and progress of the human element, but in promoting the refinement of the human animal.

Although it is a human animal that somehow manages to maintain the self imposed posturing of some difference away from the animal species through self imposed standards and rules now having no real meaning beyond the mechanical fulfillment of motion... to then continue the promotion of human animal traits within those confines.

This being obvious in the mentioned influence within decisions being made due to that animal element of our existence.

In our current physiological and physical approach to procreation - we aren't actually refining or bettering humanity or our species at all - only insuring that, within the animal instinct, the better human animal will continue their strain.

This points to an even greater contradiction which is within the paradox of our existence; Why do we then continue to even posture at civility when quite truthfully it seems only implemented (most times as some excuse/posturing) to then be circumvented in the interest of those animal tendencies throughout the species? This transpiring beyond the idea in the levels of something such as civil disobedience. Taking place in extremes within areas directly benefiting from human progress.

If such established human standards (sport even) aren't tools for the progress of humanity and only remain as tools to support and maintain that animal element - why then continue to posture of some lofty station which is associated with the idea of humanity?

Why not simply return to the outright brutality of animal like existence?

Curious that one species (the human species) is the only one on the planet with the ability to make war, music, visual art - all for pleasure. finding ourselves most often weighed in the worst aspects of each and all of them. Seemingly in the interest of maintaining the apparent advantage with the promotion and use of that animal element. ~

Further then, again - perhaps cognitive thought is actually a disease of sorts (as previously explored briefly ) - as it takes no effort to maintain or promote the animal aspects of humanity.

Wouldn't that suggest that in fact - the presence of intellect, cognitive thought, is actually the transgression needing maintenance to continue and progress in the ever present tendency of humans (humanity) to digress into animal like reasoning and existence?

Such would definitely make it plausible to consider cognitive thought as an affliction. A sickness.

Perhaps even a breach of the type we have yet the ability to understand?

Some rain today with a bit of humidity.

I noticed today another aspect of human realization I believe.

Within the idea of addressing reality - within that effort to understand, humans have progressed through several different and even related metaphoric modes used for such understanding. metaphoric representations of reality as it were (some then becoming solidified to a greater or lesser degree) - i.e.; comparing life and reality to a tree.

The representation even being seen as to encompass all.

When I consider it, this then is a representation of that tendency toward limitations.

This sort of representation even before such realizations of said limitation and confinement aspect.

As well, such is pre-realization and recognition of that cusp between concept and application.

Such contained and limited directions reside before (and even some after) our recognition of such a cusp.

When was it then, that such realization as said cusp and self imposed limitations was/were recognized - began to be discerned?

I am curious to attempt to recognize such an area of realization within my own research at some point. To see if I personally can find an area when such self limitations were first realized within that process of understanding - within the progressive capacity realization of humans - when it was that such a cusp, as well, was first acknowledged beyond the confined and limited realization of existence present within such metaphors.

I believe such acknowledgement would have been due to recognizing the innate tendency of humans to gravitate toward security and sense of power. Maintaining the directions of limitations (if even subconsciously) - as per that subconscious want. Immediately it occurs to me that such a tendency (toward security) isn't due to primitive mindset or even a supposed advanced intellect - but more perhaps due to the relationship between man and woman - then further, between man, woman and child(ren).

This then takes on another trait with more modern times as roles within society shift and move within that ever narrowing confinement.

Initially, it would seem that the female sought the safety and security of assurance - while in our modern day and as such safety and assurance have saturated society, the female now tends more to venture out although out is no longer out as it once was.

Out is now contained within a considerable amount of safety -

Essentially then, this means that we continue to build in so to speak - expanding in some cases, that over imposed consistency (producing perceived safety) in the effort even to create an illusion of freedom - when really, that over structured direction is as result of our tendency toward self limitations.

This is further peculiar in the continued maintenance of some areas within that man/woman social dynamic and interaction. Even within that safety is the tendency to try and gravitate toward those familiar roles - while simultaneously attempting to exist within said illusion as per.

Further then, within such developments is the opposed dynamics of older (tree depiction for instance) ideas pertaining to society, and the newer impermanence ideas which I feel are post said self limitation and realization of such.

I cannot see where one or the other should be discounted as it were, but more I see where they interact. As well it is obvious that such interaction is at least partially as result of that man/woman relationship through time.

Before such modern realizations, it seems that the female tendency toward establishing security in tending the hearth - more so the want of said - contributed greatly to a perceived need for permanence so to speak - where in the modern day, the female seems more toward the tendency of impermanence - frivolity even (as with many other respects in society).

Again, I do not see where one is to consume the other in the motion of progression, as there is still much benefit from that which is perceived as established permanence as it now exists within the modern dynamic of impermanence.

Which things within society then should fall within applied impermanence and our innate tendency to contain (resulting in that which is perceived as permanence)?

Permanence must first be acknowledged in the interest of society - when simultaneously a level of impermanence must have as much sway in the same interests as such permanence is.

This then immediately causes me to consider again, the idea of establishing permanence as a conduit of sorts (as described in the perspective of seeing such established structures/conditioning for thought, as a sort of conduit).

Odd and entertaining contradiction on the whole, I would say!

Getting caught up in the limited direction of applying limitations in order to present an illusion of freedom.

Perhaps it is evident of that progression in/of realization - resonating? Especially considering those imposed limitations of thought structure. Those earlier, confined ideas of all as result beyond the realizations presented. As if it were their echo in the sense of their confinement then acting as a sort of transducer - diaphragm of sorts. Both still interacting within the tendency and consistency I have mentioned. ~

As another note in exploration - perhaps it is that tendency to seek confinement which is most appealed to from modern music mediums as well? Such would stand to reason given the observable progression within such developments.

The fact being that, as I have stated, those mediums themselves are limited and contained in their very nature as per production and reproduction. Seeing that any recording is spatially (and subconsciously perceived as such) only as big as the room it was recorded in (even considering electronic effects), perhaps it is that such lends to the comfort of that innate want of finding containment? Soothing that tendency through essentially placing it in an otherwise im-perceivable audio frequency box, so to speak. A conditioning of sorts which extends that feeling of security (that at home feeling for instance) im-perceivably through the illusion at times even of grand and immense presentations?

With the consistency and standards of such techniques, this then illustrates as well - that point of saturation I have eluded to in reference to over imposed consistency . Such eventually becoming over solidified and then stagnating.

In considering the effect of this on a larger scale - in the idea of presenting all of those existing variations (though only being a limited number of them) of rooms that are most commonly heard in popular music forms - it then presents a rather hodge podge configuration of unsymmetrical imperfection within the containment effect Meaning that in considering the effects all told, it is no box at all, but rather a large unsymmetrical - inconsistent configuration which might liken to a molecule sort of suggested shape, though being comprised of a squared tendency due to those rooms and vocal booths of various sizes and shapes.

This then changing (mutating) however subtly as does the more popular - larger percentage of given influences through those mediums.

Another example in the modern day where it is that said consumer mentality has firmed itself and its effect - is yet again within entertainment - though differently than the examples I have already proposed. This being in the massive conglomoration within the music industry - thus producing an effect which exemplifies a version of said stagnation.

It is that most radio programing is dictated from the larger music industry companies - while, I might note - the radio station still must pay performers residuals which are remitted to the given agencies to then distribute as per radio air play.

As a side note, since it is that such is the consistency, then why is it that the record companies should not cover the overhead and operating costs of those radio stations they dictate to - which essentially makes them an extension of the marketing areas within the larger music companies?

This obviously results in a situation where musical performers are forced to produce what the larger music companies want people to hear, or not have any exposure.

On the larger levels this may be seen as a consistency and form of market prodictability , but at the more individual and more social levels, this produces a laughable void and a form of that stagnation (within something designed to combat that stagnation to begin with) - then further that illusion of finite realm - when really, there is great variety to be experienced.

Without falling into a business discussion, I will state that an introduction of more choice variety at community levels would actually serve to stimulate the industry itself. But within such introduced mediums is the danger of falling into the same progression in gaining popularity, then becoming wanton of greater market share.

I believe such a tendency is as result of that imposed, linnear mind set. Immediately this would pose an apparent problem with the market share and those larger interests - only so far though, within that similar competative mind set.

I am not claiming or trying to propose some entertainment marketing - only illustrating yet another form of that stagnation (and consistency within that process described - amplified within modern society ). And further citing another place where the consumer mind set has began to force itself into stagnation - where actual cultivation would have considered less focussed consumer tendencies within the social atmosphere of production.

It isn't as though other options aren't out there for people to choose from for their listening pleasure. Especially with modern communications and the formats offered within it.

In those developments and with the limited consumer - rat feeder ways to address that effect (firstly on their markets) - it looks to have even hieghtened the effect of stagnation in the desperate consumer like reactions those developments imposed.

Instead of tilling the soil, it seems they have planted plastic foiliage so to speak - which in turn has a stagnating effect on much of the naturally existing diversity within such a social structure and dynamic..

Again, perhaps such is the desired result at that larger level - but it is obvious that such must be maintained in ways beyond automation and conformity to templates.

In some sense, it is that cultivation idea which is most forgotten in the consumer mentality.

Another observation pertaining to the modern tendency within the commerce/power social structure in the United States, is the odd mutation (which I have touched on) in that area of wealth and recognition so great as to cause a distinct tendency - being that want of what appears to be soveriegn recognition - toward a distortion of sorts.

Particularly within the celebrity population, there is a distinct pattern of growth (progression) so to speak - which causes many to end up as tyranical shadows of their former selves. As contrary and odd as it may appear, it seems to be quite common for even the type of celebrity from the most humble (lowely as it were) of beginnings, to find themselves so forgotten of that and absorbed in some strange drunkeness of power - that they actually begin to embody the most horendous traits of histories worst examples of people in possitions of power.

To me it sems like a great waste of possibilities - pleasurable and otherwise - but in a larger sense, that new money tendency is itself quite consistent. I could dare say even expected and further even in many instances, encouraged.

It definitely seems a bastardization of the initial concept(s). ~

In many ways, as a contrary observation - it really isn't surprising given the dynamic of such opportunities and further the opportunistic challenges and constant risks of losing it all be perpetrated (encouraged) by even those closest to such figures.

Even further still is the grotesque lack of preperation most stumbling into such fortune are of. Many having had nothing more than the myth (of a modern variety) of and from the modern media to guide their decision making and/of insights. many times it ends up being the greedy ignorant making decisions for the uninformed and ambitious.

Of course, there is then the gross level of imposed narcessism which exists throughout society in the modern day.

There are actually people insisting upon the power, recognition and right of large decision making, which have no clue as to where or what combinations of/within existence actually produce such actions in response to said decisions. people armed with nothing more than the automated, consumer mentality form of social dynamic, and that all permeating modern myth supported with that rat feeder dynamic. This as well then being an example of those developed horendous traits echoed from long dead tyrannies.

Most of them not even being familiar enough with that to recognize it as it sets upon their own existence - beyond of course that which they have discovered and/or been shown to complete the cycle within the consumer mentality aspects of existence.

It is rather amazing that many those populating the new money areas of society truly have little idea of what actually produces and maintains wealth, much less value.

The imposed narcisism seems to produce such ignorance as well as amplifying to simply amazing levels - and then further amplifies the effect of that consumer mentality.

Another fact in such a dynamic is that the term new money is misleading, given that within such ignorant confusion - many of said examples of new money shortly become nothing more than piggy banks for larger/older interests. It suggests that they are new money to the larger motion of things - when really, in most instances, they only have procurred the money from somewhere else in some exchange for a rather instant product in the modern day. The term making money has now been affiliated with such topical exchanges of various sums from one place to another. There is very little actual making of money within that area of social movement.

This transpiring through several methods and means - most being attached to that simple ignorance.

It then seems to become a social theater of sorts, and that new money is nothing much more than comparable to children in a larger sense. ~

This of course then presents another apsect within such a social dynamic and cycle - that being the rejects in those motions. Factually, if a person were to look at the modern socio-economic atmosphere, there are several individuals that could be cited as being repeated rejects - as if it were somehow their starring role over and again.

Something else to note about this apparent shift in the modern atmosphere, is that it is more likely in the modern day to be targeted and labeled as such a reject, if it is that one has no larger affiliations in that corporate sense. As if to insure that potential actual new money is either relegated to the piggy bank status, or just outright labeled as reject, though again - the reject aspect looks to have several facets.

This piggy bank atmosphere then tends to create a monopolisitic atmosphere through affiliations as said. In that level of society, I personally don't see much of that necessarily as a bad thing - BUT, the problematic elements of it arise in maintaining healthy movement. And of course the danger of producing other reminiscent tyranny like hierarchies - and of course the larger detrimental effects of them on a larger scale throughout society.

It seems that if such affiliations were maintained in a healthy way, it could truly benefit the quality of life. Sadly as with other human tendencies, such rarely seems to be the case. ~

When I look at that onset of technology and those things socially which accompanied it - one of which being that imposed narcisism and especially a growing sort of ignorance - I see where again, certain important things have been left behind - more so suplanted with a dynamic which hastily creates those odd piggy bank situations - those things having been overlooked, seem to include a rudamentary understanding of personal being beyond that topical consumer mentality. As if that ignorance wasn't necessarilly promoted at first, but after some method being found to produce results - it was then maximized from both sides through opportunistic slights of hand to a degree that such then became a standard within the expected social dynamic.

That lack of personal insight within that dynamic, then does more than just insure a fellowship through ignorance so to speak - it also creates an incredible dependence on few people, while simultaneously creating that detrimental need to maintian the apparent health of said forms of structure from somewhere other than healthy exchange (which no longer exists within them at this point).

The hierarchical movement within such structures eventually becoming nothing more than the consumer mentality, but having a greater catalogue of rat feeder type of problem solving than previously through great flexibility. This form then seems to lord over the less experienced consumer mentality. Insuring through their superior knowledge (and its influence), that the newer consumer mentality stays well within the obvious correctness of said consumer mentality tendencies. Further removing anything except the dynamic of consumer mentality... then yet further, seeming to substantiate the huge lack of insight within that which is now seen as correct (being the consumer mentality).

This esspecially after any who may have had greater insight have passed on, leaving no one but those who may have mimicked them, as predescessor. thus creating an atmosphere void of anything, much less existenctial insight, but obviously over abundant in conditioned response - solution and action.

Essentially then, becoming more and more of a concentrated consumer mentality the farther away from those actual insights, that time may lead it.

In considering this, this tendency again suggests that actual heads of said social hierarchies (the actual decision makers), should be no where within that upper social area of it - thus enabling the succession of head consumers within those structures to have their turn. While the actual stability remains somewhere else - even if it were within some annonymous motion as I have proposed - out of the direct social influence of such a dynamic and social atmosphere.

This of course - and again - is in regard to that consumer mentality and new money tendency toward social dynamic.

By no means am I suggesting such as any sort of standard - only something I see in addressing the common modern problematic dynamics in certain social areas and hierarchical processions.

Further, the suggested stability isn't necessarilly stillness or abstenence - I believe it would be most successful as a more common living dynamic consisting of various genuine interests having little to do with lofty goals.

And there again I suppose, is that inherent human failing between concept and application?

Perhaps it isn't failing as much as it is some sort of conversion amount/success percentage ratio to use a more modern descriptive term?

Again, putting thought toward the use of that consistent body of corrupt tendencies within society, and as well in considering the amplified version of it within modern communications and the advent of technology - it occurs to me that to fight such, is futile, but to employ it - even anonymously to some degree, not only seems it would act to contain it, but also put it to that use i was exploring possibilities for previously.

Within such considerations as said consistency and said amplified occurrence - I then realize that it would be possible to orchestrate even the larger version of it within communications technology - then further from that medium, find some success in orchestrating other forms of it within society.

I can see employing the illusion of randomness - not because it is actually not random in such mediums, but within the larger movement of it - such would find yet another level of consistency through the seemingly random combinations of motion.

I would do this in utilizing the already existing tendencies within modern communication toward those various forms of corruption (and those being criminal) through introducing random sequences of existing ploys so to speak.

For example, I would devise a program which would be planted much like a virus in major databases - (uh-Hem) Legal institutions, Credit bureau's...etc. - this program would be designed to accommodate a re-occurring, timed function, as well as provide access for a given social element in the technology world - for which to contribute information to this program within those data bases.

In so many words, this emulation would combine the tendencies toward things such as criminal activities in communications technology (identity theft, scams, scams using government entities, credit fraud) already existing, then combine it with the common reasoning's (excuses) and justifications for such activity (being related to the destruction = commerce mentality), in creating the opportunity and fuel for various programs within governmental structures - legal areas of various sorts, peripheral programs/non-profits. Then, in a random manner people from within society would be selected as potential - more like eventual victims of this ploy.

This would then result in having various fraudulent claims perpetrated against them - but not necessarily within the legal arena - without their knowledge at first, and within a re-occurring timed window - as well as various forms of fictitious and frivolous debt claims being circulated in the same manner - again, in timed appearances within this program cycle and within an even larger circulation (movement) between databases (and in that then, locations).

Once there is a substantial amount of at least potential victims in this cyclical movement, the larger consistency of its motion will begin to take shape (even within the random elements of it) - though maintain the random appearance which already exists in similar ploys that are not to this level of design.

This will then act to draw the attention of those prone to such forms of corruption, as well - being seen as opportunity from their perspectives - which of course, is the design.

This isn't meant to entrap perpetrators and whether or not it is believed, is not meant to destroy the lives of otherwise productive people. In so many words, it is very much to provide for that tendency which no will acknowledge, though many benefit from - and simultaneously preventing the more catastrophic results from those forms of ignorance, from manifesting and resulting in some cases as social fission. It is meant to introduce an efficiency within something that just seems to be an accepted part of society - that is, as long as it always happens to someone else.

Given, it seems to be a bit cruel to anonymously subject unsuspecting individuals to such potential hardships - but firstly I will point out that the timed and cycling movement of the program will at least present the chance that they won't get nabbed for the fictitious offenses and violations - but even if they do, it then only continues to contribute to the dynamic of already existing similar ploys which are seen as some form of efficiency for some reason.

Further then, as another social benefit of such a program, is in presenting a consistency and containment element which will actually insulate the majority of society from said victimization through polarizing the potential result - as well as present more safety within the consistency. ~

Further then, within this hypothetical social ploy, I personally would utilize the media as well. it has long been known of the potential dangers to society in the use of media for direct propaganda ploys. It has also been known that this danger arises from the tendency of the public to become enthralled - as with a system for musing that I toy with and am developing (described in other works), I would then utilize the information collected from that random data ploy in conjunction with that musing system and as well incorporate the developing relationships between those potential victims and those thinking that they are victimizing, as creative fuel and information for that co-existing media ploy.

To briefly explain this musing toy ;

It essentially utilizes different aspects of two or more influences (muses - points of focus) to comprise the sum of one character so to speak.

This would insure a certain stability within society through utilizing both that tendency to become fanatic as well as the random usage of various influences in compiling said displays.

This further insures the safety of said media/mediums in keeping them from becoming tools of direct social propaganda.

The danger I see (and which is obvious) in permitting such direct propaganda usage, is in the same direction as is building a huge machine or weapon that is so consistent that anyone can use it. A direct machine for propaganda can then be wielded by anyone for any reason and endeavor.

In maintaining a certain randomness, it insures the continued successful use of said medium - as well as maintaining creative potentials of and for said medium. This then maintains a safer and changing motion within said resulting fanaticism - on both sides of that line concerning media and society as a public/private body.

How incredibly interesting so much in regard to our modern society, is!

Puppy Food Island has found its way into my thoughts again and I am tickled in many ways with the vast areas and issues it contains. So much so in some respects, that I find it borders on a maniacal pleasure which perhaps should produce some level of a guilty conscience - but it is just too funny to permit myself to feel bad. - That being a manifestation of several aspects I have described pertaining to control/application of concept(s), posturing and the human need to feel of import - that consumer mentality and it having permeated as it has - then further the simple lunacy of our existence and humans themselves.

Essentially for several reason as well as those social tendencies I have described - we as q society seem steadfast in achieving the lowest standards for food products (and other aspects) while presenting them as a high mark and achievement of civilization.

In many respects this consistency isn't necessarily a purposeful goal, but more as a result fo combinations of those dynamics and reasons I have addressed, as they interact.

It is rather entertaining to find that over-all consistent contradiction (if not paradox) consistency in so many ways. As our efforts to hone and further society, as a species, we fail to attain those goals in actuality.

In many ways such failings actually are testimony to the greater success of that over all concept of the third degree of civilization (representative democracy). Even given those grand failings, AND given how deep said consumer mentality has permeated - it still functions - even though said consumer mentality is a large contributor to those apparent failings (which is further support to the idea of utilizing tendencies toward corruption).

There are those within that short sighted mentality, that see the function of this mechanism to be that of producing some ill or destruction in an effort to amplify consumption (and thus - empty commerce) in other areas.

As I have stated in other works, within my believe said direction is finite and incredibly inefficient (other than a distraction to some degree). Then further demonstrates that lack of understanding those employing such measures possess in regard to the potentials within this larger mechanism.

Again, this is not of too much concern in regard to the health of that mechanism, given that it has already proved itself quite sound.

Even further such proves the level of forgiveness and efficiency of that mechanism in remaining quite efficient even as that depth of consumer mentality is occasionally swayed toward such farce as those attempts.

The incredible success in providing the area for each individual to find the pleasures (at least the experience of said pleasures) in the celebration of personal individualism (even within distinct groupings - within that consumer mentality), is simply incredible!

From my perspective, the larger problematic areas begin when such a marvelous aspect is abused in ways which then contribute further to the Puppy Food Island result.

For instance; in regard to the slanderous business ploys of degrading and defaming a given example of competitions product i.e.; do you know what is in that stuff? - such is somewhat socially healthy in regard to promoting that sense of individualism as well as that of being a part of something larger - potentially important even. Meaning that it is quite healthy to want to associate ones self with the idea of quality and social involvement. Further it is healthy competition to have a bit of rivalry.

It is when that relation and prideful element becomes priority over actual quality, that the Puppy Food Island (from the domestic side) begins to manifest as the actual priorities are over shadowed in the heat of competition.

This then permeates that larger structure as well through that consumer mentality, which then results sooner or later in all aspects of said dynamic and relation (and actual product) becoming Puppy Food in a very real sense while then continuing to be promoted as quality and even the high mark in standard.

It is very much a hilarious resulting inversion - most times both sides of a given rivalry in such a situation, then only being able to hope the other guy eats Puppy Food, when really - they both would then be consuming similar variations of Puppy Food quality.

It is difficult to find the greater laugh here; Is it in posturing superiority to the degree of finding ones self trapped in such levels of quality and producing the actual lowest grade - thus now making Puppy Food the high mark - or could it be the wast of potential within an otherwise healthy social dynamic?

Thankfully enough and as much a part of the hilarity, our modern social mechanism has provided for leeway for such social blunders.

Another aspect of this, though quite contrary to the promotion of that sense of personal individualism - is a sort of forced equality, as it were - even though it is the type of equality which is directly opposed to the idea of freedom. That being in a very real sense; how could one group of people be any better than another if it is that they are all very much consuming the high standard of Puppy Food? ~

It would seem that such a direction immediately moves the idea and potential of everyone having opportunity to achieve and experience individual successes and failures, into an area where such is only fictitious and then further, quite literally only a form of mental illness being that the normal perspective has been manipulated and warped into a place where the only sense of individualism to be had, is such an extreme shift in mental clarity that a person could no longer be considered sane by the common standard. All and any of such being nothing more than fictitious posturing - which of course was rendered useless for such wants in said forced equality.

Again, such seems evident in poor priorities - being that the fictitious recognition is then more important than the actual reality of now consuming Puppy Food.

Obviously such a social direction negates itself in the fact that such forced equality removes the need and substance from/of such wants.

I personally couldn't see any use in striving for such recognition within a dynamic of that un-healthy, forced equality.

Why, again, waste effort and the potentials within such a direction?

Why would someone posturing of the magnificence with their Puppy Food, do so?

Why wouldn't they see it and utilize it as a liberation from said concerns?

The tendency to do so attest to that human tendency and want of individualism - though again, in forcing such - becomes a waste in both directions.

Hey! I would go the Puppy Food route! But don't expect me to waste such potential liberation in then wanting grand accolades for the Puppy Food quality I then would be serving in a restaurant.

There is far too much potential to waste on such farce and what appears to be a promoted mental disorder.

I would probably have the best Puppy Food around, but that would speak for itself and my interests would be other places beyond seeking some recognition. I would need no fake little plaques in that instance - it would definitely serve its purpose and fulfill said directions.

In those situations, within my belief.... in that forced equality - personal individualism (and recognition so to speak) is to be sought and found elsewhere and in relation to other aspects of existence - if at all.

That is one of the potentials within such standardization.

In further considering the consumer status of most United States inhabitants - immediately I see a benefit of such.

Within that purchased social dynamic, it then becomes impossible to rule as sovereign - much as I have already addressed - even further becomes useless to do so (attempt that is).

In that purchased status atmosphere, a blood line then only becomes important when dealing with old world societies. Even then substitutions (falsifications) are all but useless - regardless of which ever ploy is used to gain such falsifications or even further as has been known to happen, instigate such procurement of identification.

In those instances, it very much is bloodline that matters. Attempting to falsify such is useless - it doesn't count as it were, regardless of what is said or even issued in support of such ploys. Again, such inspirations are only issued in feeding that consumer mentality, and further in use of that rat feeder conditioned response I have addressed before. ~

I happen on such thoughts in considering the interactions of those two dynamics being power/commerce and sovereign/power and the resulting social movements within such interactions. Especially given the want aspect of our consumer mentality - it is easy to consider that direction of want then being effected by and effecting such interactions.

Such facades can be employed in a manner of using those wanting such recognition, but never will they actually be recognized as that blood line element.

It seems it would be easier (since the other simply isn't possible) to admit new blood into a sovereign line/strain, than it would be to procure that status of someone else's as a postured station of ones own.

This could be likened to the aspect within our representative democracy concerning the presidency currently; It is not an option for a first generation immigrant to become a president - but it is very much a possibility for one of a given example first generation immigrant(s) children to become president - provided of course they were born as American citizens. But, as with that aspect of modern representative democracy, such a process seems not to be sufficient in some people's eyes. As if it weren't enough to be able to achieve for their children, the potentially highest office in the country - many find discrepancy with what is otherwise a very sensible law and standard.

When you consider this in comparison, it begins to illustrate that seeming inpatients that our modern social dynamic displays (from that consumer mentality). When you consider such a standard as is the immigrant/president law from a perspective that is not of that consumer mentality, it makes total and entire sense, if only in the basic effort to preserve those things which made (make) such incredible possibilities - possible. If it weren't for that stipulation - it is very probable that a person being of immediate immigrant status, would simply make decisions more rooted in the mind set of where they migrated from, than of that which is the design of this version of representative democracy. In essence, to allow someone that has themselves only just naturalized within their life time the presidency, is risking the very attributes that should be celebrated in being able to provide such an opportunity for their children.

What more display of actual achievement and power is there, than in becoming successful enough to seriously have your children in a position to contend for the presidency of the United States?

While it is possible for an individual to learn all of the rules and even to present them with skill, it is still my opinion that the set rules for the highest office should apply in regard to naturalized citizens.

Of course, in the modern climate and atmosphere, the power aspects allure and in some cases may even over shadow the potentials and benefits of what I believe were some rather wise standards set. Of course I believe that the modern speed of society has some factor in it as well. But such is merely my opinion.

As it stands, in regard to naturalized citizenship - just about every other office in the United States is available - should they win the post - to anyone having United States citizenship.

Seeing the comparison here then becomes rather simple. In the modern atmosphere and within that power/commerce dynamic, there are those that then find themselves wanting the recognition of some sovereign element - when really, from my own perspective in regard to such leanings, the actual goal in such concerns would be in finding myself in a position similar to that of the immigrant/presidency example.

Of course within that example, is the option of simply declaring ones self omnipotent as over lord in some sense - but then that becomes outside of the mechanism in which a person may have made their fortune.

Entire kingdoms have been issued - awarded as it were - through out history.

Such seems much more plausible from my perspective - in the direction of such interests (wants) than does the efforts in procuring (and even manufacturing) such identities. That interaction is another aspect that I will greatly enjoy exploring.

In fact, in considering it - such efforts to procure exhibits an incredible ignorance of what it is those putting forth such efforts claim to want, so to speak. Unless of course that want has something to do with attempts to do away with either extreme in these examples. But in that, within the idea of representative democracy - all anyone need do is change the rules. Doing so of course through the use of the efficiencies within that larger idea - as opposed to chipping away at postured pretense and ulterior motives.

Such seems as a great potential in the motion of those other aspects within that mechanism of said third degree of civilization - known as representative democracy.

Thinking today yet again about how our version of this third degree of civilization has progressed coupled with the brilliance within the idea of commerce/power, then further how that all was amplified with the introduction of technological advance - and I see an aspect that I am unsure as was by design, but is very much accommodated to great extents within it. That being a consumer mentality which is now prominent and has permeated a large percentage of that mechanism itself.

Within those accommodating aspects of that larger mechanism, is also - as has been and still is demonstrated - such forgiveness - that the modern amplified consumer mentality are now without even the most common and basic of insights toward any other decision making beyond that consumer mentality line of thinking.

In so many words, this then puts a semblance of actual control of influence within that dynamic in the hands of those not within it - much less consciously acknowledging it.

i won't immediately say that this is good or bad, as I have pointed out - it is a very versatile mechanism in and of itself - and such, if maintained consistently, could prove a valuable tool in other ways as well - again laughably - in ways those consumers won't ever begin to realize, and even more laughably by their own hand, this actually renders them powerless to the larger choices of others from that outside influence.

Essentially it relegates the dynamic within the consumer populated areas - within that larger mechanism, as entirely reactionary. Even with the easily created illusion of their control through provided (and oft times very limited) choices - which again, are provided from various sources including those foreign (out side) influences.

In one sense, this seems terrifying given the lack of actual decision making within the posturing and provided options, especially if it is that those larger influences care nothing for daily productivity, health and happiness.

It renders even the highest offices of that mechanism (when utilized in such a degree), nothing much more than puppets given to the satisfaction of easily put forward options. Most times options which then fail to be of standards - though are seen and promoted as acceptable because of the illusion itself - though are promoted as even "perfection" and optimum.

11/30/2006 This isn't necessarily in regard to lobby influence and the common understanding of "purse strings" within the effect of government. It is more in the reasoning of that automation I have pointed out - "multiple choice and crib sheets" as opposed to question and answer. "We will just say that something looks good" instead of the various other options.

Another aspect I see of this ploy in the larger sense, is in converting the otherwise properly employed dynamic into a giant suck hole of sorts. This for the purpose of utilizing that blind consumer mentality. Again, to consume while being told that such was their decision.

This consumer mentality isn't a decision making stability - it is want in the moment for many different (and most times easily attained) fulfillment's, and it is nothing like what seems to have been intended with such decision making being placed in the hands of the populous.

It seems that the higher reas of decision making have become similar in that consumer mentality of sale, and bargain. Most likely as simple result of the larger suck hole motion resulting from that consumer mentality. The commercial age could even be used as a term in description.

Again, this isn't necessarily a bad thing given the consistency around it - but it isn't possible to plan beyond (other than from product to product - big sale to big sale)- and further it isn't conducive in such plans when you then consider the various forms of desperation it invokes.

I sit now in a city which is so abundant that it would be entirely impossible to go hungry or unclothed - but, within the large effect of that consumer mentality bent, there is still a substantial amount of desperation which exists.

It would seem that the consumer disposition, through even that modern amplification - has over run the actual idea itself. It is definitely another interesting aspect of our modern version of that third degree of civilization being representative democracy as we know it - and perhaps even just as much as result of that tendency to want of over control as it is from the tendency with/within that consumer mentality alone.

Even within many institutions of higher learning, it has become a consumer atmosphere - people pay a certain amount of money in exchange for an issued status.

This type of disposition seems as though it would be great economic fuel - though, as is obvious - when unchecked and even further, established as a predominant/permeating standard of decision making - it seems to be far less efficient on many levels. The most notably of which being that there is far less actual productivity.

As a further thought - this standard - consumer mentality - of governing from the influence of outside entities entirely, actually would justify the policing of our country as well from those interests. Simply as course of said interests.

I suppose if said influences were as ignorant as most Americans within that consumer mentality - they would have long ago done away with it - but I suspect that they see the profitability at least, in using the existing short sighted ignorance.

Something occurred to me today while pondering the use of a term I chose as a chapter title of the fiction I am writing - this in conjunction with the changes societies have made over the years, centuries and how those changes are met, gives me more insight into the motion and dynamic of human existence and development (socially, at least - the deeper within consistencies). That phrase is Grave suspicion of heresy and the realization in deciding to use it, firstly has to do with the change the Catholic church leveled against astronomers of the time which discovered the sun as the center of the galaxy - as opposed to that which the church insisted upon - being the Earth as the center.

While it is that this seems incredibly absurd in our modern time, it stands to illustrate another tendency of human nature which even extends into the realms of science in our modern day.

This also serves to illuminate a dynamic (and consistency) - prolonged and re-occurring even - which continues in societies today.

It has inspired me to convert a musing absurdity I have been toying with for thought, into another short piece of fiction titled OUT ONLY IN - which pertains to Earths surface actually being inside of a spiraling, spherical container of some sort, which in turn contains all else we know of the Universe and space - inside it as well. As if our Earths surface is the inside surface of a contained sphere;

UP, toward the sky - is actually IN toward the center of the container - Universe.

As per the dynamic I am presently observing here - it can be seen time and again, even,as I have stated, within modern science. Very much the same attitude can be seen within both extremes of opposition - church / science.

There are still people that insist Rome should never have fallen, even perhaps that it really hasn't for one reason or another.

There are still people who insist those astronomers were incorrect - this, I suspect in the effort to avoid admitting that the church had been wrong.

I find this interesting because I see such leanings as more pertaining to maintaining a perception that the church and those people affiliated with it were/are correct - instead of exploring and knowing about that which "god" has put forward for us all.

That effort I see as being one of insisting a human interpretation is infallible - in that then, insisting that those persons affiliated with it are not only correct - but perhaps even somehow god like in some way - which in itself is actually the larger violation it would seem, pertaining to heresy.

Further, such positioning was more expected of the sovereign elements in said societies and social structures - but as you can see and as has been proved - both were at least equally guilty of such violations to that which each claimed to be embodiment and representation of - which, from my perspective - in effect is a relationship between humans and that which is, but difficult to comprehend/conceptualize.

Further then in this, are those remnants even today of denying the discoveries made which were beyond those earlier interpretations - which then creates a rather interesting dynamic as society continues - even continuing in and around other similar developing dynamics. this I suggest, actually then lends the illusion of history repeating itself, when really it is only remnants of those bygones again surfacing as resonations - resulting in what can only be described as a staggered motion (though non-linear) - and further as a desperation (source of confusion and desperation) of sorts.

I do not think that allot of it is deliberate as that would simply not stand to reason with the advance of our intellect and understanding, and the potentials of that understanding and growing in such interpretations. As well, from my perspective, this is as result of those perceptions which approach such structures as rigid (imposed limitation) in the understood initial meanings (if that were actually possible verbatim) as they were supposedly perceived at other points in time - without the consideration of progressed understandings. Almost folding back upon itself in some way.

The progress of the Catholic church for instance, is a display of many of these tendencies which I have mentioned. and when I move my studies more toward Theology, I will explore them more in depth - including the mutations I believe the over control and forced tendencies has created. ~

To continue with what I am presently thinking about, a few more examples of this tendency toward re-occurrence (being mostly comprised of illusion in my opinion) is the Nazi ideology and even the Theory of Evolution as Darwin put forward with observations.

In considering that dynamic in regard to Darwin's theory, it is readily evident that such is still regarded as a rigid structure to be accommodated more than used and observed as a form of fact within nature. In other words, it has very much been the tendency to utilize what may have been discovered within/through science SINCE, to hodge podge into the mural and rigid structure of those observations - instead of allowing the insights such observations may have initially uncovered (presented), to continue in their development.

Instead of continuing the task of investigating and observing objectively, as I believe was the initial effort, such directions of science seem to have been shackled in a dynamic of Darwin is(was) correct and conversely Darwin is(was not) correct. Modern discoveries being forced to corroborate his observation within that dynamic, instead of utilized to objectively observe. Being very much a one or the other limitation. As if even the finding of something physically irrefutable as a contradiction to those initial observations (more so how they are perceived and employed in the modern day) - would be and is a form of sorts in the direction of Grave suspicion of heresy. Especially in the scope of how drastically the speed of society has changed. this seems rather odd to say the least.

In my opinion, the actual fault is in insisting such a human element is infallible more than whether it is entirely correct or entirely incorrect.

This opinion I have, I further substantiate with my own position on the idea of perfection (as I have addressed it) and the results in attempts toward attaining such. ~

In regard to those that may think they are carrying on the ideology of Nazi Germany, I see many of the same tendencies and dynamics.

I should point out that in observing the rise and fall of said movement, it becomes all too possible within the consistencies - to see where the actual intention of the movement was in removing the German population entirely. Here it was, a mammoth killing machine that very much could not be stopped. Then as if scripted somehow, the most efficient war machine ever conceived and put into action, made fatal and incompetent mistakes. Then further failed to address and rectify those miscalculations (as would a well tuned machine of that nature), and instead continued head long into near complete destruction of itself. Even to the point of children being used as soldiers.

Further in this is that tendency of humans as years go by - which, given the fact that no one was left (so to speak) to continue such ideologies - resulted in a fractured body of interpretations regarding such social leanings.

When I consider this further - and in regard to those tendencies of people as I have described - I then cannot help the thought - especially in light of those mistakes - that perhaps the entire movement was engineered as such - even further with such fractured changes in mind?

This isn't to condone that movement or that apparent re-occurrence tendency - or and especially the brutality of the time. Only to speculate that perhaps such was a grand social ploy of sorts from the beginnings of the designs.

Something that may further substantiate this, is the subconscious relation with supremacy and hard line segregation, with near entire decimation and destruction of those with such a bent. I consider this and suggest at least a musing on it when observed in context with that re-occurrence tendency - then coupled with that fractured (and further crippling) dynamic within it. This is to say, as a musing, perhaps rigid interpretation and continuance of such was specifically not allowed in the effort to actually produce purposeful fractures and discord within such directions - and further within the use of those human tendencies? Actually utilizing an amplified version of those innate tendencies for that shift in perspective? Humpty Dumpty as it were. Further then considering this as result in amplification on the wave of that immense surge within the electrical shift in our reality. ~

As further speculation, such rise and fall fits as well, within the idea and description of result from that concept/application area I have described - especially if the initial concepts and ideas were stolen (then adding to a more rapid solidification within haste) then applied in such attempts as to fulfill perfection without having the depth of/in understanding perhaps, that was truly intended within the given example concept(s).

11/29/2006 As could be expected, I have given such areas more thought, and in doing so have made realizations that very much seem to support such speculations. If a person considers the haste of someone(something) to bring a new product to market for instance - why wouldn't such tendencies extend to ideologies and social movements? Further, in the examples of haste within such occurrences, there are always short comings due to those tactics of procurement and implementation - which, as addressed seems to tend to hasten that rigidity within concept/application. An out of context usage of "beat them to the punch" so to speak. This of course applying to all such efforts, and not exclusively toward the present example by any means.

Further in considering these tendencies for re-occurrence, it does occur to me that part of such dynamic could very well be in the attempts at continuation of such idea examples, in a rigid form - thusly, through the inconsistencies inherent, and further within the slight changes with progress - the re-occurrence transpires as result of subtle changes in perception. The overt and over stated attempts toward control and rigidity in ideas, actually works against itself in many respects - especially in those areas where progress has obviously moved far and away from even the early mutated attempts to maintain conformity in areas and idea.

Envision if you will, that which we perceive to be time as a large, flexible surface which progresses - then consider those points of rigidity as just that, still clinging to certain areas within that progressing example idea (for instance).

Even in common linear perception, those rigid standards act only as points of drag in actual progress. Always behind the pitch as I have described. Anchor points as it were, regardless of how they mutate.

I have to laugh though it may be a bit mean spirited - many of those (in any given example) desperately wanting control, are essentially imprisoned within their own want of rigidity. They want all still and motionless so as to have control, but cannot bring themselves out of the rigidity in that common concept of time movement for example!

They seek essentially then - to actually stop the progress of their own perception of time - but because of their own rigidity (and want), cannot forsake the very root of their obsession.

How funny!

From that perspective, they actually want to stop their very own directions and even selves - in the interest of achieving those given goals. But attempt such through the effort of controlling all else.

Again - that effort-concept - that concept-application dichotomy.

So much has been hurried in the past 100 years or so - then within that greatly retarded in many ways as result.

I am truly grateful for the perspective I have had through out my life time.

I can't help wonder how far it is that we have actually fallen behind?

02/16/2006 ~ 07/19/2006

06/24/2006

When looking at our modern society with such considerations in mind - it is quite clear that such elements of disobedience in order to stave stagnation are already in play - and further are at a point where it is that they are exhibiting many of the stagnation dynamics (within themselves).

I happen on this observation while contemplating ways in which to benefit from that tendency toward corruptions (the most obvious of which being arts and the like) - then further in considering ways to utilize it as it is manifested around that hypothetical point of focus I have presented as speculation - yet again - being a hypothetical mind toy in regard to social dynamics and these obvious problematic areas.

This isn't to say that I believe all elements of it would become corrupted (in that worst sense) - but as history and society proves - such corruption is eminent to some degree.

Something further I should point out is that corruption is in regard to more than the suggested meaning - factually as history has proved - the idea itself would in some ways be corrupted - changed in motion, as it were - such is an aspect I would hope to efficiently utilize, as well.

When I consider it, such corruption within the use of corruption in that sense, is not only to be expected, but is very much in conjunction with that larger motion - even to some degree with the synthetic emulation and changes produced through that finite, two dimensional method.

This does not mean that I feel such should be dominant - only that it should be rather expected - again, as history and our developments (tendencies) have shown. ~

It is quite a literal thing, that progress - actual progress - happens outside of the established norm.

Such seems to be the nature of progress, itself.

This then means essentially, that to gain actual progress, one must defy the established to some degree. This even beyond (and mostly in ways not usually associated with) the topical understanding of defy. In other words, to progress one must break the law so to speak - but again, this beyond the average understanding of "break the law." This being more in the sense of progressive corruption(s) - but there again is that self stifling aspect I have described - especially pertaining to deliberate efforts to do so.

This perhaps is why some of those established methods I have eluded to, which have themselves begun to flounder (such as Rock & Roll for instance), are now finding themselves rendered less potent in such corruptions(much through that solidification and standardization aspect of concept/realization). One of the less topical corruptions in this example would be the fact that Rock & Roll is now an establishment and body of set standards of itself.

It is one of those absurdities I have mentioned which have been introduced (becoming motivators), which have now become normal - normalized - solidified, as it were.

As well (as in the Superman example) - the concept of Rock & Roll itself, is in much the same way (progressing dynamic as it were). ~

Stagnation is a very real enemy to a healthy society it would seem - regardless of how it is established and/or reached.

On further thought, given the consistent tendency for societies to actually push toward stagnation, perhaps we are only meant to stagnate?

11/28/2006 As I have put forward in explorative speculation before - this pattern would suggest that the possibility of everything imaginable stagnating - solidifying eventually - is presented. Imagine nothing moving at all.

Such is hard to believe though, as a person examines the magnificence produced somehow, from the various forms of progress. ~

To further examine the fact and use of those other tendencies, a person must first realize (at least consider) that the idea would be to produce and maintain a safety within society - as well as combating the stagnation. At the very least maintaining an aspect of consistency conducive to productive living.

In fact, from my perspective, such is an inherent part of a healthy society.

This then poses the problem in contradiction of not removing that other tendency body.

If it is that said tendencies become the standard (if unchecked) and norm - then again (as proven) a form of stagnation occurs.

If those tendencies are removed entirely - as I have stated - again the result is stagnation.

This, again as I have stated, presents the problem of usage in efficiency of those tendencies - if it is that a productive, healthy society is the over all goal - without both damage and stagnation in either extreme form they could manifest within this consistency.

Another direction of thought is in removal of said elements while implementing some other form of maintenance conducive to the health of a given society. That other form then needing to be able to fill the needs of that which is replaced in that sense. But it seems that there will always be both some form of standard and thusly then, some form of violation.

The trick here then, obviously becomes a need for efficient use of the violation (being representative of progress in this instance) - and potential consistencies without becoming too consistent.

It seems, through another of our human tendencies to assert control, that this could then become two extremes, then further - if unchecked - another form of stagnation (which of course raises the apparent need for other forms of stimulation).

This then suggests that a concerted effort would need be made to establish a larger percentage within that body of other - which were of a similar direction and mind set - than the percentage within the body of other who were radically bent with little or no actual direction.

Again, if it were in an effort to create a social engineering mechanism which was efficient in maintaining stability and safety (safety of course being a relative term in this instance) within society, while quelling the tendencies toward stagnation - this would stand to reason.

further, yet again - establishing such from a point and toward the goal of usurpation/dictation will - as historically proven and especially on a grand scale - find stagnation.

I believe, in considering such a hypothetical example in social dynamics, that said focal points would be most efficient and less susceptible to the forms of corruption rendering a crippled effect, and stagnation - if it was that they remained ignorant of any implied importance of themselves and said designs in directions - Thus allowing (save for those expected corruption elements) a self maintaining society.

Again, this is only if the want or direction of a society is in the interest of optimum freedoms, efficiency, safety and maintained vigor - for all involved.

Again, I find great personal pleasures in distracting myself with such useless thoughts as is this toying with the idea of some way to utilize the tendency and dynamic around such a concept!

I immediately believe that whatever I may suggest and even happen upon as thought - if I find any pleasing result at all, will have to tend to be somehow less constrained than the applied effort of containment. It seems as though such a social mechanism would provide for much possibility in addressing the idea of progress, the idea of social health, and of course for potentials of personal achievements in many directions. Whether it be seeking someone to spank your naughty bottom, a commitment to a given ideology, or even just pursuing the feeling of personal empowerment.

This approach seems as though it would further be relevant to addressing those tendencies toward constraint within society, which occur for what ever reasons.

How then to provide a non-constraining means with which to interpret and direct (perhaps), the motion of such an applied social mechanism?

I have personally toyed with a method of musing which combines elements of several different examples (within this proposed configuration) to again produce a whole through considering them and then rendering direction. I have done so mostly in conjunction with art work and some fiction.

Perhaps something of the sort could be in order with such a hypothetical idea? It is entertaining in thought - in a way that is, which occupies my time and mind in a manner I feel pleased with.

Definitely fun.

I am currently utilizing such a musing mechanism in a fiction I am nearly finished with. I have employed it in several ways and layers - and am pleased with the result thus far - especially given the fact that it is my initial (first) work of fiction in such a degree (around 500 pages with little effort in the way of inspiration or "writers block").

The title is; THE ROOM AMUSE. ~

In other directions of thought recently, I find myself posing the question to myself pertaining to previous trains of thought. That question being to the order of considering the total demise of humanity?

Would there then be another creature which developed the power of cognitive thought?

Have I found within myself substantial proofs that such a portal (as is cognitive thought) may be necessary to something else beyond our topical use and recognition of it?

Would it be replaced somehow in the wake of our no longer filling such a possible, speculative role?

Would such a plain of reality (post humanity) simply be without the peak of that which we are (represent) of it, in such a manner as per that connection?

it is banal to think that all else would perish with the passing of the human creature - what then of that relationship?

As musing speculation I ask myself; Would that cognitive capacity then be disbursed evenly in some manner?

Would it further develop at all? Would it continue in the same degree?

My immediate response is that I believe it would in some way.

I am as yet undecided as to in what manner I believe such would transpire.

Perhaps, in considering that which I have observed, which would happen in accord to that larger pattern of motion I have put forward elsewhere. ~

Perhaps, with our consistent focus and cumulative perspective removed, other - more drastic changes and transformations would occur, until again such was settled and again disbursed as per - in those other capacities - in such a manner as to again establish some consistency in perspective.

02/16/2006 ~ 07/19/2006

06/23/2006

I happened upon another thought today (funny how that happens when immersed in studies and thought) - a subject I think on now and then as I observe and explore those dynamics I have described as seeing within our modern society. That thought is concerning a point in what seems to be a cyclical motion we, as a society seem again to be repeating.

Although it is in different ways this time around, it seems that we are in an area of motion and consistency that produces things inherently such as slipshod products and things designed for no longevity in use. While such things are always present to some degree, it looks as though they again have presented themselves as a larger part of the market so to speak.

As far as I can tell, this emanates directly from a consumer mentality having found its way into some form of position pertaining to decision making and standards setting, in the larger sense. Even as producers it seems as thought hings are being approached from the consumer mentality. MORE being seen as better, among other notable dispositions.

11/23/2006 as further note, this, on the larger scale can very much be as result of competing interests gaining a larger influence on such designs - more specifically, promoting such loss in standards in the interest of promoting their own efficiency. This being readily evident in the common practice in such directions being prominent in regard to things such as technology and what is known as e-commerce. One of the predominant tactics in such realms being the sabotage of a competitor in ways that make ones own "offering" look all the better. This example being at a larger level.

It has an interesting effect on the larger dynamic, including the extremes of an increase in the poverty level as well as those immediate effects of disposable existence.

When I consider what I see as brilliance of the potentials within the structure(s) we attempt to employ, I personally see more efficiency as well as more equality in other uses and directions of it beyond that progressing topical common use.

As things seem to be going, our society and market is again transforming from a more diverse - diversified use of said structure - to fewer and larger corporate bodies (affiliations). Some even having been bought out or into, from even larger foreign interests - many of which either not immediately interested in any maintenance aspects within this structure, or even the efficiency beyond reaping a profit within it.

11/23/2006 Personally, I see this approach as rather short sighted in regard to the larger potentials within a more conducive use of said designs in regard to this version of representative democracy.

This seems to have removed a considerable amount of the equilibrium which helped to produce a health within that metaphorical eco-cycle within said diversity, and further seems to have helped heighten that stagnation from the impending rigidity I have explored to some degree.

Admittedly, some of this direction is of that human tendency to see ones self as a formidable influence on even the direction on future history itself (through those interpretations and perceptions I have explored in other areas, pertaining to right and wrong for instance - seeing dominance as the key factor in such perceived importance/influence instead of the more powerful position of promoting health in real progressions) - my personal opinion, as I have put forward in several ways, is that even such effort toward those ends, actually puts you farther behind in the very ways (being controlling for instance), you may seek to exercises. Again, in that larger sense pertaining to this example.

This I believe is very relative to that effect I described concerning our capacity and potentials, and then what actually transpires through such focused, concerted effort in and for overt control - regarding the more efficient use of this mechanism.

From history, we know that one large focal point has its benefits in some forms of efficiency - but we also know that such rigid structures have grave consequence's in the same areas of effect.

From the modern approaches to said societal structures, we have found great efficiencies in more diversified points of focus - but as well have experienced great concerns and set backs within said.

When I think about it, if it were possible to gain the better elements of both methods, it would then less the chance of that rigidity and perhaps even that crippling effect of applied concept - more so the tendency to rush such applications for which ever interests. Perhaps even permitting an opportunity in greater efficiency with a more malleable transition from one state of being, to the other.

Even further, if such were applied in several places through out a given society, it seems that it would render the society regulating itself through simple existence.

The thing I am toying with in these directions, is in somehow vesting individuals of a limited number, with a type of decision making influence similar to that which is normally extended to a valued customer. Perhaps something likewise as is for television in establishing the ratings - the Nielsen homes - BUT, these individuals remain ignorant of the focus which is on them and their everyday choices, in order to avoid the troubles so common with power trips.

The biggest problem I could see in this form of social engineering, would be concerns with corruptions in the immediate peripheral sense - but then again, since it is that such a designed dynamic can be conceived of, then it is that such tendencies could be utilized as well in recognizing and then employing the ensuing consistency(ies) of the social aspects around such forms of corruption.

It seems as though such a design could serve as a rather efficient meter within society as well - but does pose the dangers of those corruptions becoming dominant of those points of focus.

Then of course another aspect which would have to be addressed, is the element of social integration. Getting a fair and equal representation from various levels of society concerned.

Another danger I can see possibly, beyond peripheral corruptions is if all (so to speak) were vested in one individual, I think this would eventually create another form of rigidity (being a limitation of sorts) and stagnation even in the more malleable potentials of it, through a too narrow focus and an over standardization.

Such a direction seems like a logical extension from the shift of power from sovereign to commerce.

I can't readily come up with a way that I would implement such a social ploy - as it seems that there would always be the possibility of that peripheral corruption (even thwarting the initial efficiency of implementing such) - especially given the tendency of people within modern society.

Then again, such a tendency is much more of a consistency than is successful application of grand ideologies - so in that then, is a possible direction of use (as stated). That is to say, to actually employ that tendency as well - if not even as a substantial base, in some way. Perhaps maximizing it in simply asserting the presence of such importance as would be seen such a point of focus? There by utilizing the tendency toward those desperate forms of corruption in a manner as to maximize the consistent aspects of said tendencies?

11/27/2006 The ol' play action fake in a much larger, social sense. Purposefully drawing those dominating and corruptive tendencies, into a self perpetuating illusion, so to speak? Thus creating (more consolidating) an area of social consistency - which represents a form of social energy (regardless of the sort, it is still a consistent motion/energy) - which can then be employed as per the consistencies and "standards" within itself. Thus transforming those tendencies toward ill results in that larger social sense, into efficient contributors through the very tendency toward corruptions in many ways. Kind of a condensed application of that larger ideology - applied.

Another aspect of this is in the fact that such a dynamic would then create for and within itself, a level of uncertainty - which again is a rather efficient social tool in that larger sense.

All of it then being very much a provider of the desired result within that larger design of providing for at least the sensation (illusion if you will) of importance - the pursuit of happiness (as it were) - even just involvement that is only as real and fulfilling as those within it, allow themselves to be - being likewise in resulting effect for those nowhere near the apex of the ol' play action fake. Even while the ploy is sustained and substantiated from even its own efforts - and further, illusion, eventually.

A concentrated focus of that established human tendency in action.

It seems though, with brief thought - that too much saturating it (the hypothetical social ploy), in such a manner as is as well a human social tendency, would act to the other extreme in polarizing it beyond efficiency. That is to say - somehow failing to become a social area - community so to speak - and further polarizing beyond its own bounds, might draw the effect of inefficiency onto the ploy itself?

Then again, applied modern technology may act to some degree, in steadying and limiting such polarization in that peripheral sense. In that then, it seems would be the need to keep such peripheral effect more in the topical areas of result and effect - (that area of illusion as it were - which then again, tends to suggest that such would be most efficient within the consumer population and more related to commerce than to larger political interests). Diffused and even random to some degree - thus rendering the larger picture from the seemingly scattered pieces.

But again, this is simply an exploratory/hypothetical line of thought... even though it would seem a better use in that other form of human tendency to attempt the large scale manipulation of people with various tactics. Such seems as though it would keep both aspects of such human tendencies busy, so to speak - even rendering an area in which such fanatical power trip fantasies could be played out as well in somehow relating ones self to the design and implementation of these sort of maniacal plans!

I am enjoying a slight hang over today. I am pleased at this point in my life at having developed, more so established for myself, a certain - generalized - amount of consuming beers/wine or other spirits which produces an enjoyable disposition the following day, as well.

When imbibing, I find I have matured to some degree - in utilizing it with the following day in mind as much as the present experience.

I have been thinking more about the comic book analogy, and find even further comparisons which are quite interesting from my personal perspective. ~

It has been argued in a hypothetical manner, that "we" were "lucky" that "superman" was "discovered" and raised in the United States.

This argument illustrates much for me - firstly being the human tendency to impose limitations upon itself and ideas.

This exemplifies that want of control as well.

Within the idea of Superman, is very much the fact that things Superman represented (represents) and embodies, are of a more advanced form of life. In that, it then would not have mattered where Superman grew up. Those standards which were imbued in him, originate somewhere far beyond our good guy and bad guy ideologies.

Further, this argument represents the human ability to actually conceive of greater ideologies and concepts than ourselves - then simultaneously fail to maximize them in application.

To insist that the very concept as something such as Superman and all of even the Utopia like elements which are conceived of as supposedly from where he originates (being presumably somewhere beyond our current reality) - are because of a given political atmosphere within our reality (The United States, for instance in this example) - is to immediately then place a limitation on the very concept itself - which we somehow admit is far beyond our common understanding.

In that same "stroke," we exhibit a vast and incredible ability to envision and conceive of magnificent things - and then as well immediately limit those very ideas in the very same motion.

Consider all which Superman and where he comes from, represents?

Then consider that within the very same motion - we then contradict it (after having conceived of it, no less) - limit it through assigning it to all of our limited perspectives.

This action then further associates the political atmosphere (the social aspects) of where he grew up, with that atmosphere of the more advanced society we conceived of and represent him to have been from. All the while then exhibiting in a real sense, loads of failures in the motions of our own society(ies). All while trying to associate those failings with the far more advanced idea of where the character originates.

It is really incredible when a person considers it.

Here we are in misery and mired even in some efforts to maintain such misery (for which ever reasons) - but have the ability to conceive of these magnificent ideas and concepts. Somehow failing to embody and apply them ourselves - beyond that grasping attempt of association.

I do find it entertaining in many ways.

We aspire to much and have the ability to conceptualize truly incredible things - but somehow we only manage to limit and stifle them... even relegate them to only existing within works of fiction. Even in the act of associating our compromised efforts with and toward them - everywhere in life it seems.

And there again is more substantiating the lesser success with the greater efforts.

Similar to as I have described my perspective pertaining to attempting perfection.

As a further musing - it is said within the creative idea of Superman that the society he came from could have been considered a perfect society.

Perhaps, as a thought - it was then one of the type of perfection which is purposefully attempted? Thus having rendered within (itself) a given level of success - then the resulting destruction of the society through the rigidity produced of such directions (imposed limitations). ~

I do find our tendency to such capacity and potentials then coupled with immediate limitations - quite interesting. It suggests perhaps even a greater potential within said dynamic - being perhaps a duality of sorts (itself).

Again, even the simple fact that we can conceptualize - our power of cognitive thought - is truly amazing. Even more amazing than our deft ability in avoiding it.

What grand potential we still embody - even through the direction of human foibles!

This, in my humble opinion, of course.

It is tantalizing to think that I am still quite young. What wonderful explorations and realizations still await me?

If only through simple observation of that simplicity - which we are.

I should return to studies soon.

06/18/2006

Sitting and drinking far too much coffee today, while looking through the Sunday news, I noticed - more happened upon an entertaining little musing.

One of the stories in the newspaper - the entertainment insert - is pertaining to the comic book hero "Superman" and the history of it as well as briefs pertaining to the most recent incarnations of it.

You may wonder how this could possibly relate to anything I have been exploring - but really "it" (and other "specimen") are entirely relative to much of what I am addressing - though very much from a different perspective. Especially given that the "genre" of such is quite contained of itself in several ways.

It is itself a form of and within the series of "emulations" and "movement," motion" that I have addressed. Even further, it as considered on the whole, depicts and exemplifies that "speed" of amplified "development," and the "non- linear" development aspects I have put forward as opinion.

Consider simply as speculation - assigning each developmental "change" within the "progression" of the fictitious genre, as representation (though magnified and condensed in many ways within this example) of the "resonation" and "pattern" consistency within the larger process of "progress" and "development" I have explored.

Perhaps such consideration will make more clear the idea of "progression" that I have observed in the larger sense - especially substantiating that "non-linear" and "non-related" element and aspect.

Such observation also brings to light the tendencies of that larger process "within" such "revisions."

For instance, the development and introduction of a new character such as "Superman" is a form of actual "progress" through progressive corruptions - "change" as it were - where the revision of said character would be and is only that - but with each "revision" is still the effect in resonation of that larger process being represented within the example - which begot the initial character - only now transpiring in a more limited and contained manner - which itself is still anchored within the culmination of that initial combination and "development."

You can see where such isn't really an "evolution" as much as a "motionless change" in regard to said revisions. Perhaps as the difference between moles and freckles, and altering development of the human physique. The revisions are nothing more than moles and freckles so to speak - where the introduction of an entirely new character based on similar makeup within the genre, is a form of actual change - albeit, change which isn't acknowledged as such being due largely (in my belief) to our tendency in that "linear" focus and attention.

For example and as illustration as well pertaining to "proximity" and influence - at the base idea of "good guy hero," there isn't much difference between "Batman" and "Superman" within that basic concept of "good guy."

It is only with the introduction of various different influences in approaching the concept of good guy - those being "proximity" for instance and different perspectives - we then can establish "good guy" and further then can begin to have different traits appear within that basic concept between the two examples - this being directly as result of that "filtration" for reasons I have addressed.

Further within that process, there is no direct linear relationship, though similarities (and differences) are present within the two examples of "good guy" - "species" - as result of the introduction of other influences.

They both contain the "good guy" element, but in most other ways are in no way related.

Even further, the genre of literature known as comic books itself - definitely serves as example within our existence as the emulation which we exist as - itself then simply being the manifestation of said reverberations through our own existence.

The only thing I would argue contrary about this observation is that within my own belief - within that larger process, there wasn't necessarily a "first issue" comic book species (variation) so to speak.

I feel that such in regard to the manifestation of that emulation in such a manner, is entirely due to the fact that it is "through" our perspective - our processing (again, as emulation) of that larger process.

_________

11/22/2006 In regard to this in fewer words and a different example as metaphor; It could be said that our existence - perception - all told, could be likened to an electronic effects unit processor within the genre of modern music. Though of course differing in the respect that we aren't variables on a selector dial, and in no way as segregated as would be different "effects" to select. The similarity is in regard to the flow of the electronic signal being effected within the use of such a piece of equipment, and of course our relationship with that larger process (which we have systematically moved ourselves farther from through insulation's comprised of various introduced "structure" and imposed limitations).

I am not saying this is right or wrong - only that it is something I observe of a larger consistency within existence.

I find myself in thought again pertaining to the question as to why it is that the direction of modern "technology" seems bent on the "blanketing" of pre-existing "reality" with the emulation which technology is? As if the idea were to somehow overcome it (existing reality).

It seems that within such a radical development as was electricity alone, that the opportunity is there to truly "branch out" as it were. Perhaps within our larger perspective, such isn't considered as a possibility - to actually utilize the potentials in "developing realities" as well as technological "advance."

I must say that I do not mean this ("utilize - developing realities") in the "brain wash" way - more to the point of capitalizing on the extreme level of advance which such was and has the potential to be - to in fact "create" more "area" within that perceived "finite" reality.

It strikes me as odd that within the normal human tendency to meddle and control, that such would not be considered beyond the attempts at "reforming history" for example - I believe it is referred to as "history revisionists" - in the topical propaganda manner.

That seems a waste itself. Simply amplifying the volume of propaganda is still only propaganda. Especially since it is done so within that "blanketing" aspect I have referenced.

Again in the larger sense, I suppose such efforts (being of a confined ideology) are evidence and proofs of the less than acceptable result of human arrogance in comparison with the more natural progress of "developments" a person can see through out history. It definitely exemplifies the lack of efficiency and even the sadly humorous elements of such attempts and posturing - much less the draw and focus on such areas in the place of the other possibilities.

Such in my opinion, is a loss of skill in the art of living and of society.

That aspect, I believe is of that hyper-linear result in the proposed amplification effect I have touched on earlier.

It amounts to parroting essentially and does nowhere near begin to address the actual "stuff of life." but maybe in the larger picture, such is a deliberate and desired result? this being as result of a place where those inclined to such "spasms (as it were)" of ego and control among other things (as well as that amplified tendency), can play them out to their satisfaction while producing very little real effect (comparably) on the larger process itself - this as result of that confinement and hyper-focus as well?

Such seems based on a game of "what you don't know, I can change" which I see as directly related to the resulting dynamic I have cited in regard to the "speedier ascension" and subsequently the "rules au minute."

In many ways I feel such efforts could be described metaphorically, within their tendency to haste, as akin to removing a can from the middle of a stack of them - It also is evident of the topical nature of an overall perspective permeating society (again, becoming more and more narrowed within that amplification) - that is of course, if you ask me.

It seems as though such efforts could be a great source of "energies" in the "social movement (movement OF society)" aspect at least.

Real "development" and social changes usually happen over some considerable amount of time ,historically that is, in my humble opinion.

this gives me a humorous insight though, as I consider it - again, there is a huge contradiction within such efforts. firstly I see the problematic area of insisting that there are absolute truths (in the fervent literal sense that much seems to be interpreted as within the "virtual" realm - unless of course it needs to be different in the given moment) - then secondly is the task of contradicting those established points in order to introduce the "hasty" changes desired.

What this suggests to me is that truly there are no "absolutes" in that sense, only the greater "opinion" - which as most all know, isn't the case for various reasons.

Only in regard to that which is of and from "human" could such justifications hold true.

this then extends as well, to the idea of "perfection," meaning that even established "perfection" is really nothing more than flimsy opinion - changeable at any given time.

topically, that understanding makes sense - that is, if a person approaches the idea of "perfection" from the direction that humans created it ( a product of "ego" in the classic sense) and can only compare that which is said to be "perfect" in that interpretation - in comparison with and in the light of other things of human origin.

From my personal opinion, the concept of "perfection" was derived in a human effort to embody and convey one of those "things" we can hardly conceive of - and, as I have addressed elsewhere - cannot attain beyond the "opinion," topical interpretation of it through purposeful effort to do so.

This common "topical" understanding of such a concept - again illustrates that direction of confinement in a "conceptualization" sense - which I have described earlier here-in as well as in different pieces. In fact - within my own opinion - if it is that humanity is ever to actually "progress" - that "chain" of perception which continues to confine itself with each revolution, must be rectified - at least augmented in some way. this of course could be in relation within that larger motion and meaning, to those "extraordinary occurrences" many great minds have referenced and noticed coinciding with every great "advance" of the human species.

For instance, the ever shrinking area of perceived "perfection" resulting perhaps from the topical mis-understanding of the concept itself, then coupled with the effects I have described - then within the area of "one thing of human origin being compared to another" and thus being "perfect" - needs to be addressed in a way (within my opinion) that is not of the same haste such form of "understanding" is within our modern atmosphere.

11/21/2006 As a note here, this is very much related to that which I have addressed concerning a given "cusp" of perception within our capacity that I see as potential (and even direction) within humanity - where we now still reside within the need for imposed limitations in the effort of "understanding" - i.e. the use of a "tree" for instance to represent the idea of "all" within existence. Metaphorically it is admitted no less than a poetic ideology - but in regard to this current subject matter (and especially the modern tendencies toward confinement as per) it represents an imposed limitation - the likes of which we continue to cling to so to speak and further have amplified within said dynamics.

As further example; if a "given" is then perceived as "perfect" in that more common interpretation, then it is that such "given" is all that perfection can be.

If the example "item" is the limit of perfection, what then could possibly be beyond it?

In that topical confined and linear understanding of such a concept - "perfection" then negates itself. In fact it could be argued that such stands even as evidence of and within itself, that such does not even exist. This result being reached through the actual application of the idea in that sense and context.

But again, such is only in considering such a concept in relation to that which is of "human origin," and further in regard to that aspect of imposed limitation - and NOT in relation or regard to the concept itself.

11/21/2006 As another supplemental note here - taken from my personal journal in regard to this line of thought while musing one evening, I began to consider another aspect of "perfection" and the modern application of our "advance." I did so while listening to Mozart in a digital format, which then lead me to consider a chain connection of sorts.

It is very much touted that Mozart had achieved the respect of "perfection" within his compositions.

This I do not argue, and such is in no way the point here.

What is the point here, is in considering such from and WITHIN a human understanding - being that perfection is of humanity. Then it is that a person must consider what was once the expected progression of and within such an example of achievements.

It was very much taken into account as he was producing it, that there would be human interaction in the line of progress his work would take into the "future." In considering that, then a person must also accommodate the idea that such human interaction was very much a consideration for, of and within those works.

This is to say, that within the idea of "perfection" before the advent of modern technology, there was an element of human tendencies taken into account within such regard. Meaning that from his perspective, after his demise, the only way to preserve that level of achievement was through the human interaction which entailed rehearsal and having taught by a master - FROM THAT MASTER - who had probably studied from yet another master.

Regardless of their respective "mastery," it is only human tendency that some influence would seep into such works from generation to generation. Within that then, the example of change (however slight) in that progression.

This again, I believe was to be considered very much a part of that "perfect accomplishment."

Then along comes modern technology and promises to preserve things of the sort in a level of perfection which had never happened before.

Immediately this seems to be the truth... until you consider that the version which was first "preserved" in such a state (being recorded), was not MOZART'S version, but that of several generations in progression of MOZART (as intended to that point).

There then it stayed. With that advent, it actually lost an element of the intended (and presumably conceived) perfection - being that progression from Master to student throughout the existence of humanity.

Most assuredly there is still a level of that element within the world of Mozart, but the point here, is that it now is not of that progression which was preserving the intended effect of the work in total. It is very much of and from that area of solidification where it first began to be represented in said "preserved" form. The references of it in reproduction, are now as much or more influenced from the impending "mimicry" which such forms as "records" inadvertently imposed - as they are of that initial intended progression.

In so many words; The "perfection" of Mozart was suspended - and solidified. Yes, preserved - but no longer "Mozart" in that initial sense. Only now progressively "better (presumably)" mimicry's of the previous "recording" as it were.

How then is a person to "argue" perfection?

In my own opinion, regarding the "concept" and perspective I am trying to convey - it isn't something to be "argued." It simply is or it isn't. It is a concept which is understood or it isn't understood - regardless of where misunderstanding may lead.

It would be my understanding then that "perfection" only finds human limitations within that topical perception of it. Within the human effort (as established through imposed limitations example) to understand - if not purposefully "establish."

Again considering the disjointed aspects between the modern "speed" and the plethora of intent - a person can see where it has effected depth of understanding and appreciation as well.

It is now possible for people to reach incredibly influential posts and positions - stations within society - armed with only a template of sorts - of "proper" things to say to "gain."

It is very much that through this, in a metaphor - there is this immense area in which to exist - but everyone crams themselves into one "small room of the estate" so to speak. thinking it "the way" or only way to go in that sense.

this has resulted in many ill effects, one of which being the opportunity of other influences to utilize the ignorance within such posturing to impose further false standards and "rules" which "ain't rightly so," through "none being subjected to them would know the difference," given that their perspective is entirely tailored by those perhaps not with all the knowledge they claim to have - but certainly more than those they are directing - whether it is actual information or that which seems to "work" so to speak.

it would seem that this has created a dynamic of lesser and lesser options through the progression of parroting - "this works" - dynamic, as such is propagated and imposed.

When considering it, this might not be all bad, as it were - considering that the speed of such possible "rise to power" has fewer checks and balances in regard to other areas of existence within the modern day. Sadly though from my perspective, as I have stated, such seems to have mutated into the passing of ignorance in manners such as "I had to do it this way, so you do too" type of thing, where in all reality beyond that extended set of fabricated standards, much more is quite possible - though perhaps not welcomed in the hands of excited inexperience driven with greed or some other ambitious ploy.

Admittedly, from what I can tell, such inexperience being introduced in a "gradual" (normal) manner is very much integral if not vital to the larger process itself.

Again it would seem that the speed of modern existence has stifled such progressions in that way as well, along with making the otherwise "standard" progression less and less existent due to both the ease of the "incarceration" method and reactions from things such as jealousies within the shallow and short sighted ignorance of such modern methods - each worried as much about their "gain" within that modern dynamic than anything else, which then equates to a rather interesting motion within that speed.

I see where such loss is a detriment for obvious reasons, but as well for one which may hasten problems due to stagnation - if left unchecked. this being that at any level of society it is very much important to have some grounded reference to an "every day" existence - this being especially so in those positions of decision making which have become more and more isolated within that modern speed and dynamic.

Though it sounds a bit sadistic, it could be that allowing for such jealousies manifest in what seems would be controlled ways (given the limited aspect of the modern "consumer mentality"), would actually be healthy in some ways in maintaining a "touch with life" which can be easily lost when a person finds themselves in a position having everything they have ever wanted.

This "promoted jealousy" dynamic seems as though it could serve as a healthy (controlled) form of social energy, as well. Meaning that it would most definitely keep things from stagnating in various ways, at several levels as the progression continued in a "standard" fashion.

With the advent of such "social heights" within the modern speed of society - in whichever manner and course such is attained - those "normal" progressions are fewer and fewer. Many times being supplanted in social ploys with those having the "answer sheet" waiting in the wings to say the proper things to the "status quo" - not coincidentally being comprised mostly of those having found such station in similar, "instant" ways.

this seems as though it basically bypasses an otherwise integral and substantial part of the entire process.

another detriment which occurs to me with the "faster ascension" possibility, is that the decisions will tend to gravitate more and more to serve those ends - with little or no concern for the standards of society - with less and less considerations for what we would consider "longevity" within that faster dynamic - which in reality, would be quite normal spans of consideration otherwise - as well as the lack of depth in understanding which used to come of experience and was usually present to some degree when those stations were attained.

Now, such "depth of understanding" seems more conditioned to those other aspects I have been addressing.

It seems that this also stimulates a level of "panic" and concerns which did not used to exist - given the ease within that "speed" to ascend, it then poses a problematic aspect in finding those absent aspects for longevity which would normally have arisen in a less frantic atmosphere.

I have touched on this aspect a bit, though from a different perspective with the intention of actually utilizing that inexperience in a way so as to perhaps bolster part of the dynamic result which has otherwise been lost. One example of such explorations was in the "inversion example" pertaining to the progression of judges. either in total or as a partial inception; Actually posting younger graduates in higher profile positions to judge law, and then having their "progression" lead them back to smaller communities - then draped in the experience of their careers for said communities benefit.

This as I recall, was toying with the idea of bringing such "wisdom" back into the communities instead of just "holding it on high" so to speak, as well as utilizing the vigor and inexperience in ways similar to what I have described in regard to the result in modern "pace." Perhaps even as high as a chair on the Supreme court, and then strewn through out the higher level court systems to begin their careers - all with the intention of returning to their communities to "practice" in that "twilight wisdom" which currently is housed, as I have stated, "on high."

A continuing series as such could prove rather interesting. That is of course, unless it turned into an "automated ride" with the speedy dynamic of our day, occupied with only a certain "sort" being chosen for obvious reasons within such tendencies.

In some ways this is actually using much of what "Faguet" had explored, in a real sense - though not entirely as a fulcrum point within the larger motion and structure. It relates to utilizing "ignorance" most definitely, but more so in the manner of "ignorance" being inexperience in those circles as opposed to ignorance of some removed meaning... though, as I have expressed, there are aspects of that form in use that seem would render incredible results, as well.

Perhaps those being chosen for such "progression" would need to be bound by contract to actually endeavor to return to said communities - this simply to counter the existing and obvious temptations of our modern pace and to stifle the "grandeur" of serving respectively "high" posts so early on in their lives and careers.

11/18/2006 SUPPLEMENTAL

Since it is that this point within my notes is pertaining to some governing aspects of the modern disjointed movement within the larger mechanism.... and even though I am currently at the point in my notes concerning some thoughts on immigration - I am lead to some thoughts about the larger relationships even between cities, within this dysfunction.

With the advent of modern communications, there has come a sort of amplification to other forms of corruption which used to exist in the sort of "gossip" realm. With that ease of modern communication, has seemed to be an amplification of that as well. What it apparently amounts to in the larger sense - between cities that is to say - is a form of static. A body of ill information that continuously chips away at the stability of those inter-relations... and unfortunately, in some cases, even sets the mood of local governing.

Given the differences from region to region in regard to "local" social aspects, this then begins to pose what may be a manifestation in representation of forms of insanity when considered in that larger sense. No longer is there one larger motion moving in various degrees of tandem... but now, there are/is the potential of incredible extremes to become predominant in that flow of information, which then creates a sort of chaos in said relationships.

One extreme I am familiar with and will use as example, is in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, there is a political bent that is even so extreme as to teach within its political science courses, the abuse of existing laws in some mutated interpretation of some larger effort at gaining social progress. This particularly is pronounced in the areas of domestic laws and is to the extreme that from what I can remember, just before I had left the area - it was no longer necessary for law enforcement to have any sort of court issued documents to gain entry into a house hold.

While this is not the extremes being taught, it is very much as result of the local social atmosphere in which such tactics as teaching the abuse of laws presides.

Further, this extreme of "no warrant entries" is in no way a standard through out the rest of the country - but, due to that modern ease of communications, still has a more pronounced effect on those other areas within the country itself..... and further, more especially within that amplified "gossip" aspect.

The idea I can recall behind such extremes was/is "nothing to hide, nothing to fear." Unfortunately, and given what I had observed pertaining to the local government itself, what this really acted to do was to bolster the insulation between despotism's and ill corruptions presiding within the local government, and anything which they may have seen as a threat to exposing what amounted to the degree of consistent corruptions as is welfare fraud.

What this presents in a larger sense, besides an obvious diversion from the standards of nearly the entirety of the rest of the country, is very much a foot hold for the most pitiable forms of desperation stemming very much from the automated - parrot - type of aspects resulting from postured ignorance posing as authority.

Essentially, it has (or had when I had left) resulted in amplified desperation's from those who probably should have been prosecuted themselves. It was very much similar to aspects I have heard about pertaining to extremes of McCarthyism - being a "fear" sort of state.

In those instances, I do not see why it isn't just as well to again round people up in cage wagons and drag them off to servitude for the "government?"

What this poses, is much more than the danger of a militarized state working to be a tool for the removal of anyone in any sort of dissension.

Considering that modern law enforcement officers (in the field) are trained to respond to information they have access to... it then poses even greater concern given that those modern sources of information can be influenced from anywhere in the world quite literally. But more so of a concern is in the local sense. Such coupled with "no warrant" process for something as extreme as "entry" then sets up an entirely other potential danger.

Again, as I remember this was touted as some grand social move for improvement - especially concerning the feminine interests for some reason. but what it actually exemplifies beyond the presented hype- is a gross misstep BACKWARD in social development and civilization.

It doesn't matter who is running the despotic oppression, it is still despotic oppression.

Something else I seem to recall about the local political atmosphere there, was the fact that any female could simply call the police and "claim" something had been done to them, and that was the end of the story pretty much. The police then arrest whom so ever is accused, and the female concerned doesn't even have to show up for the court hearing.

It is pretty much a "done deal" from the time any female makes any sort of claim to such directions as infraction.

When this is considered in conjunction with that modern speed of communication - it then adds an entirely different aspect - given that the rest of the country is then exposed to standards that are in no way a majority opinion or process.

This of course as a matter of course given human tendency, then extends into various other forms in political "slight of hand" as well.... then adding to that "static" in the larger flow of information.

A person should notice though, that these laws and standards which are presented within the local area there as so magnificent - are in no way even mentioned when those inter-city communications are taking place. Essentially allowing those in that locale the power to incriminate anyone within their own standards - then not being subject to the standards of the rest of the United States. As in those moves politically, locally, they have somehow gained the credibility of the larger mechanism as a facade to bolster the motion and despotic use of their own "standards."

This then illustrates the disjointed aspects I have been exploring - especially when considering the incredible focus in the Pacific Northwest pertaining to technological commerce and things related to it. A prominent software corporation makes its headquarters very near the central parts of the Seattle, Washington area.

When you then consider this aspect in conjunction with the vast difference in the local governing standards - it then presents very much a police state with the major influence being from that prominent corporation.

Could you imagine being a start up competitor to that huge corporation, there? Especially without ties and representation outside of the local area?

It is very possible such interests could even wind up in prison with no recourse what so ever under the local standards and "laws."

Then of course is the aspect of it being a Port City with huge amounts of international business coming mostly from Japan - Which obviously then amounts to a given level of influence from those interests as well - which, as I consider it in conjunction with the monopolistic leanings of the major tech company - accounts for the ease with which such a "military state" was actually put into effect.

As I think about it, there doesn't seem like much anyone can do given the level of dependence on modern communications pertaining to that level of "static" as per that amplified gossip aspect - as well as other ploys much more contrived. The only thing I can bring to mind is similar to "controlled burn" in regard to wildfires - actually making it a standard as per promoting such "static" from all points in an effort to establish a consistency at least.

Of course there are results of such efforts in establishing such a consistency - but given that, the entirety of the information motion could then recognize it as the flotsam that it is.... the actual information may then begin to be separated as a natural course it would seem.

It is a rather interesting thing to have actually lived in the area, and now look back at it and the supposed social "developments" which took place. Many of which being no where near the ideas which even afford the area the sort of leeway it has seemed to gone to extremes in abusing. Even in the fiscal sense - given personal experience with the loss of nearly a decades worth of banking credibility within a matter of about two weeks. This even having been at a Federal Credit Union.. and again, very much through the local influence within that Federal level institution. Then further, as described in other brief commentaries - the "mishap" concerning an estate which was yet to be remitted to my person at the time of my residence in the area - and as per the result of my residence in that area, was never made available to my person as per the established contractual agreement.

The Federal Credit Union is no longer there, so I imagine as I have described, there is probably little if any trace in regard to the estate that was wrongfully procured - "wrongfully" that is, if you don't happen to live in the Seattle, Washington area I suppose.

It does present a particularly difficult situation in relation to the larger motion in a "national" sense.

Is it that such standards should be recognized as a greater standard? Even considering the very dangerous social aspects of them? "That ain't the way we do 'er round here?" on steroids?

Is it to be considered only another "difference" in the differences between regions? Is it further to be acknowledged as such a consistency that it actually resides unilaterally in a social sense - from region to region? Actually being only representative in the extremes of it there - of a presence which is consistently in all other regions as well?

In this example then, should it be regarded as some sort of capitol for a social section within society - then further the same consideration of other concentrations in social tendencies in other major cities? A sort of "horizontal" representation in that diverse recognition in the same manner as a political party affiliation?

This then would mean that San Francisco could no longer be acknowledge as the Hippie Capitol then, right - given the social and political shift from "hippies" to "techies?"

Such would mean that L.A. could be seen as the "plasticity" capitol, wouldn't it?

Should such diversity entail then maintaining an affiliation with the "capitol" areas regardless of the place of residence? Subject in the same sense of reasoning as is utilizing such information from a given area to influence the existence of people elsewhere - to actually having to exist under the same constraints as are present in the "capitol" region, where so ever the "affiliate" chooses to live?

In this example then, it would mean that some people within a given area are more susceptible to something such as "no warrant searches" than are others, right? Even while living in an entirely different city with and around multitudes of others living under similar differences as pertaining to some place of origin or maybe as per previous places of residence?

While it is that I may not have had the privilege of a "higher" education, it seems to me that such extremes as I have used in example here, are rather detrimental to many aspects of efficiency through out the country. And very much wonderful examples of areas within that dysfunction and disjointed aspect I have described.... though most definitely not the biggest examples, and most definitely not the only examples.

But definitely examples of much I have explored, including the "parrot" aspects within the automation.

06/12/2006 (continued)

Within the various combinations of "uses" of such a mechanism, I can see the danger in effect and result of rendering the whole of the nation a prison of its own design - again through the ignorant abuses and misuse of the mehcanism itself - even beyond the speculative idea I have explored concerning anonymous social "guides" as per "naturalization."

considering momentarilly of rendering a prison like atmosphere through various misuses of the larger concept itself - it poses, beyond inhibiting freedoms and choice - a certain level of safety. Safety, that is to say - beyond the martial law similarities of that I am exploring. It then, as history proves, becomes a dysfunctional tool to shelter tyrants of various forms - which then leads to a breakdown of the efficient areas within that mechanism - which then historically leads creates political - more social extremes of "haves" and "have not's." Which then leads sooner or later to revolution - and then even further, given the degree of tyrannical frauds which "govern" the supposed "mechanism," perhaps even to blood revolution.

Fortunately enough (or perhaps not depending upon which perspective you may choose), the concept itself which said mechanism is of, seems designed to allow entire changes to and with the "hierarchy" without such "bloody revolution."

What is unfortunate about this in my opinion, is that it seems there is the tendency to cycle on such a build up and break down from one form of ill use to another (displaying that human tendency toward corruption - then further as well, the developed ignorance within the over amplified automation), instead of utilizing the potentials in other ways.

This happens only if it is allowed to - and results from a minimal - limited knowledge of it. From my common insight such in extremes has only happened a few amount of times within this newer form of governing structure.

When I think about it, another danger I see within the constant advance of technology and the "automation" of that structure and mechanism, is that it may actually become possible to allow a given example set of fictive influences to remain "within" the structure and mechanism (if only virtually), long enough to actually do ir-repairable damage to the mechanism which "protects" even them and their ploy.

This again, in a more cynical humor - I see as part of the brilliance within its design. In so many words that misuse cannot sustain itself through its own tendencies and resulting fears as motivation. Essentially then, the "dead mans switch" I have described, may just have been modified inadvertently through the hasty advent of technology and such automation - into a "self destruction" aspect. To the tune even of allowing other forms of "take over" besides the "bloody revolution."

Unfortunately, this would render everything unprofitable to everyone until someone else again employed the existing efficiencies of the "structure" of "representative democracy" being in this example, rendered "non," - or perhaps chose to employ some other, less efficient and profitable forms of governing.

So much in regard to this is obvious and frighteningly similar to the social dynamics of a playground, that it amazes me that there are still people who attempt such ploys.

consider the fact that a common ploy in over throwing any government has historically been to utilize the poor and dejected within the given society as political leverage - then consider that those :poor and dejected" are only useful until the goal is reached, then they are again "liability" to the new form of governing - which then usually has lead to their removal in one form or another.

It amazes me how obvious that is, yet it still seems to work - even within a society where such political leverage is immediately to the loss of those "poor and dejected" - though within a successful society, such is more labor intensive to implement. In some instances, such reasons have even been entirely fictitious, I am sure.

I then couple this consistency in abusing such freedoms as speech for instance, to impose such fiction - with modern "automation" and such - and it then goes from a tired old ploy that only the extremely ignorant use or fall for - into a super charged version of it - but as I have explored, that modern version may just possess the possibility of moving such play ground, political ploys from said - into full blown "viral" mechanisms possibly capable of the destruction of that which even permits it as well as having protected those that implement such ploys. further then, perhaps even rendering everyone expendable in the place of rightfully being able to pursue happiness as a part of a larger interaction.

As well, something I have noticed within this modern dysfunction, is the use of some "fictive transference" in an attempt to appropriate even the reputation of others with the use of modern technological communications manipulations.

This bodes ill in my opinion, for that larger function and seems usually to be plied from "within" the "prison" mentality created within that disjointed aspect utilizing modern forms of communication - further exemplifying the ignorance of those in such misuses as much as the possible reasons (fears?) for having chosen to utilize said mechanism in such ways - essentially as a self imprisoning manner - then further showing even their own disregard for the standards they tout as their "protection." Some even claiming some justified "right" to such blatant disregard simultaneously with its warped interpretive misuses.

i simply cannot see how such can successfully sustain itself. ~

In this thought I have realized further that many of those ploys stem from within that strange metamorphosis which is of the "commerce/power" arena as I have explored it here-in. That eventual want to then transcend in some way into some "sovereign" recognition.

Such might explain why it seems of importance for the well being of all citizens, that too much "control" and influence over the governing laws and structure be kept from the hands of the wealthy alone. As well, from the hands of the impoverished alone.

This observation is in no way a slant - only an observation pertaining to different perspectives I can discern within our modern social climate(s).

Those tending toward the efforts in amassing great fortunes and with focus there-in, will naturally tend to want such a mechanism to function as a "prison" so to speak. A thing used to "limit" others, where those living throughout the other "classes" will tend more to utilize it in enhancing their everyday freedoms as well as a semblance of "upward" motion.

Other factors as I have addressed, are pertaining to the dynamic this then "sets up" in either "direction," and as well then in the process of "progressing" through such growth changes in the given society - then further as I have addressed, the dysfunction occurring between the initial "motion" and that then produced within the modern dynamic. ~

In stating that such large percentages of influence should be more readily distributed, I feel that it is obvious that such is depending upon what the desired result is. It seems as I consider it, that the "one" can be just as ill effected as the other. But there again seems to be that innate "fail safe."

Turning my attention again toward the social "dysfunction" which is of that disjointed dynamic between the modern pace and that larger motion - this again being of interest because of an exchange I happened to see recently, I am going to explore an area of resulting effect within that larger relationship between the "modern" pace and that mechanism (as it seems within the "slower pace" of humanity) which I have pointed out.

Without going into the specifics of the individual occurrence, I think it more efficient simply to delve into the aspects causing, of and what I see as resulting from the common direction that such is in our modern society. ~

Firstly, it is that the "version" of the "third degree of civilization" that the United States has been put forward as, much involves the idea of immigration. Simply put it welcomes the arrival of any and all who wish to become a part of it.

This immediately poses many variables in result (most of which are by design)- and especially so, unchecked in the direction of disregard for the very mechanism which produces (or is supposed to produce) the opportunities which all of those migrating, seek.

Essentially as many (all really) should know, one of the initial ideas of this version was in action and effect an effort in providing a simple platform (simple, being uncomplicated) in which to become familiar with, and then exist within - productively.

This was to begin with the endeavour toward "naturalization" through an educational course while obtaining "citizenship."

Of course the finer points of this have developed and been augmented over the course of time, but essentially this aspect has remained similar to the initial gist intended - being the want in use of migration in a pronounced area of population.

If a person considers it, such things even as it being a much better option than the impending genocide(s) being of an option of the time, becomes obvious - this given consideration to the overwhelming population problem in many countries (especially Europe) at the time. When you consider it, if it weren't for the option of populating this new country, something much more drastic would have had to been done simply to address the social problems developing in relation to that over-population. But of course, this is only one aspect.

This area of "naturalization" and what seems to be the "common" result in modern haste, is what I have recently begun to call "Puppy Food Island."

I use this descriptive metaphor because it would be very possible, through the use of this hasty - rushed process and the ignorance of many of those who are a product of it - to actually begin to use the quality level of "puppy food" as a standard for human consumption within society simply through telling those people that such is the desired normality of one or a few of those sporting some visually perceivable "power."

This isn't to say that people truly using the naturalization process are the risk here. It is to say that many in our modern day are victimized to some degree through various ploys, in both that haste and the lack of attention given to conveying actual standards - as well as the efforts in exploiting the inherent lack of knowledge (and most times the existing social conditioning) those "immigrants" have pertaining to the possibilities and existing standards. As well as, again, the ease in victimizing (purposefully) those having been previously conditioned to horrible standards from whence they come - this "dysfunction" extending even to religious and/or superstitious exploitation as well (which has many other facets to it obviously).

When this is considered, it then forsakes even the quality of life for many others as well... and further even promotes the presence of those lower standards of quality from those places from which they come in encouraging the continuation in use of said conditioning after arriving into an entirely different atmosphere. Such tactics simply promote the establishment of those "social dynamics" within the potentials of our social structures. Why not simply remain in the countries of origin?

A person can hardly blame many of these people for the reasons stated as well as it is often through their want to actually contribute, that they are most often manipulated. The ignorance and absence of knowledge for these "standards" coupled with their eager dispositions and readiness to "trust" - makes for a dangerous possibility toward the efficiency of the mechanism itself. This especially so when coupled with other "warped" results within that dysfunction and disjointed dynamic I have already begun to describe.

This becomes quite interesting in conjunction and within the transformation from "sovereign/power," to the now myriad of versions within "commerce/power."

There are other aspects which relate to the resulting - sterile/rigid dynamic becoming more and more prominent with the greater automation I have described as well - especially as it "progresses" in its own cycle of "trial and error" - rendering society as a result of the "progress" in hastily developing, producing, marketing and then redressing what could amount to a new computer program, essentially. Then as well is the aspect in the utilization of the presence of ignorance and conditioning as described.

I should point out that from my perspective, it is necessary within a healthy society to have some dysfunction in some respects - that in and of itself is much a part of the "progressive corruption" aspect which humans tend toward. A person could only expect it as a part of the learning process - and quite simply there are always accidents and some level of "destruction" as societies change and grow.

the danger I see in depending upon such as a base point in society - is quite obvious, but within this modern version - it would seem that such is becoming the case. Most likely because of the ease seeming to exist within such forms of dependence.

The laugh I see here in regard to relying on such forms of destruction is that there is loads more profitability in so many other ways that it borders on lunacy to find ourselves within such a scope yet again as a species. ~

this area of "naturalization" process presents a rather interesting "game" from many perspectives - most of these people, as I have stated - simply want someone to tell them what to do in order to find greater ease in "naturalizing" as well as becoming a part of their new life.

When it is that those "instructions" become compromised for what ever reason, or convey extremes to "computer program degrees" - the dysfunction which is common then begins as an amplified version - especially without the human element and intent which was/is the intention from my perspective. ~

There is, as well a greater danger to consider within our modern day - being the need to insure the safety of society from those who seek only to do it harm of various sorts - and harm to the level of which is no longer even a healthy part of that process.

On a personal note; I am rather pleased with the fact that my own existence afforded me such insight as to the ability with which to consider such - I find it incredibly interesting as subject matter on which to ponder. To be able to witness existence as it develops in those senses - and further have the capacity to appreciate it is no gift, I admit - but I enjoy it all the same. ~

Within this "Puppy food Island" dynamic are many mishaps and even greater political struggles which are seldom seen if ever addressed (these being beyond the common and welcomed political aspects). Many of the "mishaps" as I have stated, are as result of the process of enlightening them to the new possibilities - as if if done properly, no one will tell them what to do, precisely. It is very much theirs to decide on many levels - which again, is part of those mishaps as they clamber and stumble through such growth.

In the area of the "political struggles," again I find great interest in observing if only through considering the various possibilities. In so many words as a generalization - if such "naturalization" becomes controlled (influenced) in too much an extreme, it then fails itself essentially.

If it becomes too "militarized," too "boot camp like" - then they may as well be forced to "naturalize" through military service, which then presents the dangers of security breaches as well as exciting the fears of the populous of the nation with concerns in respect to "brain washing" and corruptions (of the inefficient variety), and the undermining of the freedoms they migrated to obtain.

In the other extreme I see, is the danger of "security breaches" and fears of unchecked corruptions resulting in rebellion and possible over throw of the government itself - which I find rather amusing in the fact that you don't need to "over throw" this government structure, you simply become involved and promote the changes you may desire through the use of it. Of course that "use" usually puts those seeking some position of "over lord" into a snit, simply because that isn't the design of it to begin with - but from what I can tell, the want of such is utilized as a fuel of sorts in maintaining that mechanism and structure in many ways - and some which I have yet to realize fully. ~

This then seemingly would bring us to two possibilities - and then the variables within them;

The government dictating, or the public dictating - both being as bad as the other in that sense - which then leads us to the arena of modern media.... and then of course to advertising as a large portion of information source (most accessible at any rate).

But that presents many dangers in regard to "victimization" as well, especially when that "instruction" is no longer that as would a "guide" give, on a trail pertaining to that larger motion in a social sense - but more "instruction" as per what another individual or corporate entity wants as result for their own interests - which obviously, immediately presents problematic areas. One of which being quite obviously, the purposeful misleading as to serve the specific wants of someone/some organization/corporation - without regard for existing standards which then causes more harm than possibility - being exploitation. ~

How then to establish "examples" as "guidance," which are more fair - which are "as result" in a more honest representation of the society in which these new populations hope to live within conducively? How to avoid as much of the false representations in examples seeking to exploit the ignorance which is prominent and as well their pre-conditioned perspectives?

Even if it were that such a "guide" happened into smaller "violations" of the social standards simply as/through a course of living within them - it would still be far better (for everyone) than to be at the mercy of those misusing through said exploitation. It would even be much more efficient and profitable in many ways, as well - given the more "healthy" aspect of it. This again, being in regard to the social process of "naturalization" in such a manner as is popular pertaining to "examples to follow." Most often in the modern day being nothing much more than what can be discerned from the television and commercial campaigns.

In fact, within my own opinion pertaining to the larger picture of such a process as is "naturalization," the normal "miss-step" within society is as important as is the "flawless" guiding aspects in the same respects - given that people are pre-disposed to such mistakes anyway, now and then. And besides, if it were that all were simply "programmed" as to what to do - they may as well have remained in the dictation and subjugation from where they came.

Then further - such extreme of dictation then becomes as bad or worse than that which they came from if for no other reason that it transpires within so many other possibilities.

Even further then, in speculation of "programming," those programs tend to misrepresent the society which those using them as reference points are entering - which again in my opinion, is far worse than being "guided" as result of a common path and standard of living - "good" and "bad" aspects of it as well. Especially when those "programs" most often lead to being exploited anyhow.

Even with the dangers which seem may be of such a direction (as is common living as guide), it seems when thinking about it that the possibilities of all sorts would be present as well - if it were, that is, that such a "trail guide" aspect could be devised and established.

Then of course, as I think about it, within such an established direction, would then be the need to avoid any sort of familiarity - perhaps even in maintaining anonymity as well as a lack of knowledge in such participation from both sides of it, and especially in considering the part of the "guide" given the human tendency toward corruptions of all sorts.

This of course would be in the interest of maximizing those potentials for both those being "guided" and the society itself, also in the interest of avoiding that tendency toward corruption within the present temptation to dictate.

How better to "naturalize" than through direct example of tone and timbre naturally existing within the dynamic of the society you would be entering?

Maybe someday, after it is that I have matured and have traversed much more in study and experience, something of the sort will occur to me in regard to an "idea" that would make such possible and more realistic to implement? ~

In regard to the idea of metaphoric comparison between the concept of Christ and that of the "third degree of civilization (representative democracy)" - in order to understand this from the perspective which I hope to illustrate, a person must first look at the "idea" of Christ as a "concept."

This isn't an attempt at removing religious meaning which is associated with the idea of Christ, and neither is it an attempt to impose religious meaning to that intangible body known as the government within a representative democracy - only a momentary consideration of the concept of Christ when examined without the religious connotations. If a person does that, it then becomes easier to see what I am getting at in this comparison.

In a condensed over view, it is that the action of Christ was to create a way into the kingdom of heaven for all sinners - essentially, all of man kind, that is - knowing (from a Christian perspective) that all are born of and into sin. To provide a means by which the most wretched could sit at the very throne of "God" as it were.

Now then, when a person then considers the concept of the "Third Degree Of Civilization," and then the idea of Christ "sans" the religious aspects - the similarities begin to surface.

It could be said that the idea of representative democracy actually embodies, carries out and maintains within our physical reality - the means and concept which the sacrifice of Christ was to provide for in transcending realms of existence, so to speak, in an ongoing manner.

"Representative democracy" being the mechanism through which people might find a better life from what it is that they have come from.

This isn't to say that the government should be seen as "Jesus H. Christ," or any other "version" of "him" - only that it seems easy to see a comparison in "applied" concept - metaphorically at least.

From an "artistic" point of view, such would really only add to the brilliance of the concept(s) (representative democracy), itself - as just that - and though it may be my personal speculation, such a "metaphoric" work isn't all that far fetched given the point in time and process through which the "Third Degree Of Civilization" was conceptualized and put forward. ~

Further in support of this little musing is the fact that there are as many ways to approach the concept of representative democracy - as there are those in regard to the concept and idea of "Christ" ' Truth, Farce, Hoax, Cult, Even treasonous and rebellious if a person looks deep enough.

Each of them somehow existing and functioning to one degree or another, simultaneously.

It is definitely a musing I will continue to consider through my years, as is that of a metaphorical perspective in exploring the idea of representative democracy being a living replication/emulation of that larger ongoing process I have observed in earlier pieces - this of course being effected and displaced with that modern combination of dynamics I have been exploring (observing) more recently.

I happened on a thought some time ago that I now find is relevant in some ways to my present direction of thought regarding what I can perceive of the "progress" of humans.

It is based more in a "theological" perspective, but as it is my intention to study such subjects in a more mature period of my existence - I still find it incredibly interesting.

In a few words it can be described as a, more so "the" self adulation paradox (perhaps a phrase to claim as coined?).

It is in reference to the idea of Christ and further related to the idea of the "second coming" of Christ.

Essentially it means that the Christian faith is its own biggest obstacle in many ways. If it is successful in making everyone a "Christian," it then becomes impossible for another Christ to be born as it isn't possible for such a person as Christ to be born within Christianity.

Such is immediately self negating being that such would then immediately imply self worship - which as is obvious - is a great imperfection.

Further it isn't possible to "martyr" anyone within the Christian faith in a Christ like manner much for the same reasons. This isn't to say that it could not be "physically" done... but is to say that the requirements beyond being tacked to a post would in no way be met. The attempt of assigning Christ like potential to an existing Christian, is to create the paradox described within the term "self adulation paradox."

In essence and actuality then, if Christianity wins out, it has immediately defeated the majority of its proposed purpose and stolen from itself the possibility of its ultimate prize and goal - being that "Jesus Christ" will again be born to lead all of "Christianity" to the kingdom of heaven.

My impatience with - more in my relative youth - makes me want to immediately delve into this subject and rather interesting puzzle (outside of the idea of faith) - but I find that I will stay my course with present directions in study and thought - but I probably will revisit this with thoughts now and then.

It is a touch ironic though not surprising given the modern dynamics, that something such as Christianity is nearly approaching itself backwards, seemingly.

The modern actions of "it" suggest that much of the pattern and "developmental direction" I have been looking at, is truly universal - This being evident in the contradictory element of something such as Christianity attempting to remove "areas" from where a potential "Christ" could possibly be "re-born" - in attempts at conversion and in some cases, worse - where it would seem the effort would be more focused on preservation of said, to some degree.

Perhaps it is that "they" really don't want "him" coming back (as a sarcastic giggle) - "they" being those that motivate the areas of Christian belief. Perhaps "they" are thinking on delaying such a re-appearance from happening any time soon in the continued spread of Christianity itself?

This "paradox" as well, is directly in contradiction with that modern pattern of "self fulfilling prophecy" I have addressed. ~

As further personal speculation, I have recently toyed with the idea (if only as result of and within that larger process), that the concept of the "third degree of civilization," more directly the "governing body structure" of it - could be metaphorically compared to the idea of Christ, itself - the "concept," of Christ, that is.

This is rather involved, I admit - and I have only a few more moments to write this afternoon, but it is that I will further explore this metaphorical comparison. If only for my own personal insight and pleasure in curiosity.

One of my uncles was a Southern Baptist Minister, and I would have greatly enjoyed such conversation with him. I am sure it would have been incredibly stimulating and mind opening, to say the least... regardless of the level in concurrence we may or may not have shared.

In giving it thought overnight - within the dynamic created through the modern conveniences and that "go no where" cycle of existence (which seems to ebb and flow) - things seeming to change though staying the same - a type of human has managed to flourish which would not have survived before, simply because the larger process did not afford it as history has proven.

This type of individual displays (most times covertly) a sort of desperation which is historically only seen in declines. Within this "new dynamic" that desperation is sustained and afforded even to the point now of holding some perceived importance over the most basic of human direction(s) and what otherwise is seen as a standard human disposition. This seems to arise from and as result of a somewhat warped perspective pertaining to "commerce/power."

The desperation seems to fill their entire lives - it replaces all of the simple importance that modern convenience provides for - displacing it with what can only be seen as miserable desperation.

I am not talking about being impoverished here... and I am not talking about a level of concern which is common in many aspects through out society, for a given result for instance - but more that element of almost pure desperation that becomes lost in and of its own effort within that.

This is found mostly in the extremes from what I can tell, but not necessarily in the extremes of attained wealth or station - more from distorted perception of what such may entail.

This desperation seems usually fueled with a combination of cowardice and greed in various forms - a lust if you will to be seen of some wealth or station, recognition whether deserved or not.

In turn this appears to have produced an area within existence which is hard to explain. A complete disregard to the tune of malice even within the flexibility of it all, for even that which has afforded the things seemingly worth wanting so badly that they would damage their own existence simply to be perceived as being a part of it in the manner which is seemingly of their perception.

I am sure that similar leverage has always been to some degree, but in the modern dynamic such has been amplified and distorted to points which could very well be a threat to even the species itself in several ways.

In considering that, it occurs to me that as history has gone with rises and falls of societies and cultures - when combined with that amplified mental illness of sorts and the all encompassing ease and connection of most "civilized" cultures in the modern day, that the next "fall of a society" in that re-occurring pattern, could very well be all civilized human societies.

This is in no way meant to be "doom saying" - I only happened on the thought in considering how "small" the world has become in social senses through modern communications and more so to the degree at which they are depended upon and even blindly trusted. As well there is a growing factor as I have addressed previously pertaining to a sort of isolation within the ever growing presence of consistent electrical fields of influence - and further the ever progressing saturation of the human species physically - with man made chemicals.

As a person may observe readily in most "civilized" societies, this isolation and removal from that natural process too far, would seem to have begun to have its effect. This being seen in noticing someone in the common walks of people - or even several, that have extremely similar physical traits as some very popular television celebrity for instance, around the time of their own beginnings.

What this illustrates to me, especially in comparison with the observation about the more subtle similar traits in people I have known who are not overly exposed to modern media, is that the isolation (and magnification) seems to over power the normal process in motion of that larger influence within normal "connectivity" and proximity in producing these uncanny examples of "duplication" as they appear.

Further what I feel such illustrates is a loss of so much else in that normal process - which in turn means that with such limitation, then in fact a more inferior version of human is produced. "Inferior" meaning it has been limited developmentally quite obviously within those imposed influences, and thus will surely be different in other ways as well - perhaps a subtle reduction in capacity? Perhaps some physical short coming which will only surface as the person ages - perhaps only in their continued strain?

This aspect in conjunction with the ever increasing man made chemical intake - and subsequently the proven effect of actually putting people more at risk to some sort of affliction in weakening the normal levels of resistance - then truly makes for a "regression" of the human species (as we know "progression") and further, non-progression which - at that larger level of consistency again points to the growing possibility of at least a species debilitating "fall" within the same historic pitfalls and patterns of previous societies, as they again occur within that amplified modern dynamic while having been forgotten through and within the supposed "progress." ~

There is definitely some sort of trade off within such an aspect.

This would then lead a person to immediately and firmly separate the "two" dynamics of "modern" and those not yet so far separated from and in the effort to combat this.

In my own belief, such would be no better than is the continuing growing isolation and saturation in many forms of the human species.

It seems that such would create a dynamic of extremes, and giving it thought - within that growing, warped perspective due to the "progress" of society within the modern dynamic - a vacuum effect from that area of "churning" if you will - fueled eventually with pure desperation, which would in turn mount and amplify itself as those "areas" being "fed" upon grow more and more sparse. Resulting eventually in the sterilization of humanity, if not that "larger fall" - and probably a very slow demise at that, wrought with growing ignorance derived from that supposed progress, and further perhaps even as/of illnesses on many levels yet heard of. ~

To actually address this progression and problem, it would seem that it would first need to be established that such is a very real possibility - and then agreed to and concurred with on both "sides" of those extreme examples... and then of course seek to reverse the effects of it somehow, for the benefit of everyone.

Once such "contracts" were entered into, it would then be necessary from my perspective, to then establish a sort of integration as it were - at various points in and between those two existing extremes for the purpose of stabilizing the ill effects of that over saturation - then further to eventually reverse them so to speak. Hopefully in a manner which would preserve the efficiencies found in the modern forms of societies and technological advance.

The immediate dangers I can see in such a social endeavor, are in that distorted desperation seeing such as a ripe opportunity to immediately benefit from - but such I suspect is simply of the "progress of the human species" in a social sense. Otherwise, one or several levels of society would have to be left out of that motion in implementing some social structure... which of course would only amount to ill feelings and suspicion, which in turn would negate the effort in and of itself as things have gone.

I see these dangers to be very similar in respect to those present in "saving a drowning victim" - though in this larger social sense, those dangers are more fueled with distorted greed and desperation.

Another potential danger I can see in this line of thought is of course the human arrogance - and within that, coupled with human tendency, though in a different form being that of insisting upon further saturation of chemicals for instance - will suffice in replacing that connectivity which is of existence.

When you consider it, that over saturation is really yet another form of over amplified imposed "structure." This version being of the more physical sense.

Admittedly, the possibilities of it to improve human existence is staggering - but as well the dangers are quite present. Especially given the problem of the "win/lose" dichotomy - such "architecture" would then need to be established and integrated "vertically" as well as "horizontally" and most definitely beyond the common "linear" perception - and further I feel this would need to transpire somewhere beyond the "win/lose" areas of existence, which fuel both "versions" of said extremes (being saturated and non, so to speak).

I laugh to myself as I increasingly find what our species called human to be of- there again is great potential to insight the "win/lose" dynamic between those "modern" and "more natural" areas of existence. Then further is the question as to whether or not it is at this point possible to stabilize that "hyper-stimulated" modern dynamic - much less reverse the effects of it.

Would it be worth the effort given the possibility of such effort (even as hypothetical conjecture) only being transformed into feeding that desperate element as if some form of sustenance meant only to feed the non productive and non reciprocating elements always so ready to simply devour - and further being afforded as such in our modern dynamic?

It is truly amazing that within our modern ease of living and all of the conveniences and pleasures to be had, that such desperation would not only exist, but flourish and further have been set into motion within and most likely because of abundance itself.

I personally have trouble seeing why such desperation and self perpetuating misery is even tolerated to the degree which it seems to be, with all else that is - but that wanders more into ethical areas which I am not to address this evening.

And further, knowing that it is impossible for me to be the smartest guy on the planet, it would then stand to reason that someone somewhere not only had a use for it, but as well promotes it as a growing human standard and preferred direction of development within the continuation of society.

Such reason for said, elude me presently.

As well, in this train of thought - another aspect of the human manifestation of "aposematic mimicry" - is in the purposeful act of creating firstly the illusion of a larger "predator" for which to "personify." Meaning that through the use of the "illusion" and tendency of others within that motion, a "safe" predator can be manufactured to mimic with little risk(and is in many ways quite frequently - i.e. the "bad guy" in the movies), and done so even beyond the "entertainment" aspects of society.

This then seems to present a wonderfully "predatorial" illusion which can then be "aped" as if it were actually "predatorial" - this while remaining within the relative safety in knowledge that there are no real social elements of that which are being employed within the "aposematic mimicry" of the illusion, that could harm those employing it - while then receiving the full benefits (presumably) of personifying what others perceive as something quite fierce.

Of course this is then aided with the speed of modern exposure.

There again, as simply with the different applications of said tendencies - is the evidence of the unique human capacity and differences from animals, but as well illustrates the similar elemental components we share to greater or lesser degrees - being that such "traits" are present in the animal kingdom as well as the human species. ~

Socially in a larger sense, this human version(s) becomes incredibly interesting to observe as it has developed and changed - or simply just continued in the possibility that such never has really changed in that sense. ~

Something else which I have noted from other perspectives, is the more historic (topical -cerebral) applications of "aposematic mimicry" within humans in a very nearly pure psychological sense - being for example that "Richard the Lion Hearted" didn't walk around "purring" or "growling" like a large cat... but did use the likeness as representation personally, as well as even perhaps had embodied (especially in his own mind) the characteristics of a lion.

As I sketched today on the computer, I happened upon a combination of words which, as well as providing inspiration for a quick sketch, provided for a rather interesting perspective pertaining to things I am exploring in these notes.

The term is "Aposematic Mimicry."

This term normally illustrates and defines the actions - both voluntarily and non- of animals in the wild (or otherwise) which develop behavioral tendencies (some supposedly even having developed color patterns?) that serve as defense for themselves, against predators.

One which I can personally remember is that of the common bull snake moving its tail as if it were a rattlesnake. ~

There is so much to this area of observation that it is difficult as to where to begin addressing it.

As per the idea of "developments" within the idea of "survival of the fittest," how is it consistent that the physical traits of the rattlesnake did not accompany the tendency to mimic it within the "evolutionary" progress of the bull snake?

How is it that only the tendency to mimic was acquired in such a process?

Another interesting aspect I find in examining other examples of the "non-voluntary" type of "aposematic mimicry," being coloration and other physical similarities between entirely different species in some accounts - is in considering for a moment that such "traits" were not "developed" as a defense perhaps - but more so that the cause of proximity for instance, which imbued similar traits between some "predatorial" and other species - is why those non predatorial examples continued to exist without actual regard for their markings and traits. Some of the non predatorial examples even having very little in common as per traits with those they share other similarities with.

In so many words, the non predatorial examples happened to continue because of similar markings - but it was in no way an effort to gain that similarity - simply happenstance as per said proximity for instance as consideration.

From this perspective, such considerations in "possibilities" due to initial and ongoing proximities can explain the bullsnake/rattlesnake example to some degree. This in regard to the presence of similarity in action when threatened, but not so much in coloration or physical development.

When a person then considers this "aposematic mimicry" as it has manifested within the human race - again, there is subject matter abound for which to explore - and then further in considering the motion of such tendencies within the modern atmosphere - especially given that humans are not limited to this tendency in defense alone - which again speaks volumes about capacity potential as well as vast social subject matter and dynamics to consider and explore.

A person can easily state that the employ of non-defensive "aposematic mimicry" - perhaps more readily that "personation" is the (or one of) very essence and crux on which humans "learn" as we perceive it.

This as well gives mind boggling consideration to that schism and the results of it in modern society.

Just briefly, as it is that I am sure to return to this subject - in regard to the non-limited human versions of this supposedly "primal" trait within the phenomenon of modern technology and resulting social dynamic, I find that in further exploration I will look into what different "skewed" results which arise from both the speed at which we are "transforming" and such movement within the modern dynamic and other influences. Immediately it is evident that such reaches dangerous levels in several ways for reasons other than simply those "developed techniques" and "tactics."

The media utilizes and even concentrates this tendency (that of "aposematic mimicry") - though again, it is utilizing the more malleable, human version in rather topical ways considering the depths and potentials to which it can extend.

In utilizing such tendencies as per social movement and structuring - it adds to one perception within the movement of it, an illusion of change while all is fairly still idle in a real sense.

This again illustrates the chasm between actual reality and that "speed" in illusion at which such tactics are employed in the most common uses.

consequently as result, these changes which occur and then "re-occur" in different forms, produce an illusion as well as an illusive motion which seems to mesmerize and distract from the actual lack of "progress" within the dynamic itself. In that motion is a constantly changing mimicry on/in that larger sense, which actually "progresses" nowhere.

I am thinking that this might be a substantial part of the illusion pertaining to a finite realm, as well. ~

Immediately then from this vantage point - it is readily seen that art imitates life in respect to anything altogether "progressive" in an actual sense and conversely then in the standard re-occurring dichotomy, such would suggest that within this illusion from those promoted forms in/of tendencies (such as personation and aposematic mimicry), life then imitates art.

The use of this in attempts toward actual progress seem to be limited - more relegated to that area of illusion in social motion and "progress."

This isn't to say that I think such could not be used as a "tool" in some manner, only that from what I can see it doesn't seem possible to dictate or progress through such mediums entirely. There seems to be no actual progress within the mimicry illusion result of and in that larger social sense.

Further in regard to personation and aposematic mimicry, there is now a resulting dynamic within the illusion - which adds to the illusion of "finite" realm - of mistaking breadth and saturation depicted within "art" - within illusion - as being the "well" from which all comes, in that larger sense.

In another manner of description, through that tendency to mimic - perhaps not even purposefully - but through that tendency within the illusion to see such mimicry as standard within its "cycle" - it is easier to see how it is that the "progress" of the depiction of life within art, is now easily misconstrued as having represented "everything" in every manner - simply because of the bulk of existing art, as a whole.

This then acts again, to set our actual existence at a retarded pace so to speak, because of that sustained focus on the illusion "cycle" we have created for ourselves - especially given the degree of amplification such has managed in a relatively short period in human history.

I am not saying that this cycle we have created, or our tendency toward such as mimicry - is either "good" or "bad" - only that the faster cycles within that "aposematic mimicry" dynamic seem only to "churn" and "change" without much actual progress - other than perhaps increasing that "distance" I have noted, where the larger (and seemingly "slower") area would be where art actually finds beginnings for inspirations.

As well, within our modern day, there is a presence of said mimicry of, and attempting to be within that larger (slower) movement - this is particularly a place where it is readily observable to see the "skewed" versions and interpretations, being mimics.

As a note, it seems as though that "win/lose" focus within that dynamic - helps to magnify the illusion of "finite." ~

As I have touched on, something else I find incredibly interesting about this "trait," is the definite uniqueness of how it has manifested and continues within humans - shifting and changing - as opposed to and compared with animals.

While it is that our "cycle" within that illusion, of that tendency/trait to mimic "changes" within its own cycle - not changing so much really, at all - an animal will only utilize such mimicry in a defensive manner within that context. Humans have developed several areas within which it is a common application in life - as well as the seemingly unique human application directly in an aggressive form.

This as well seems to contradict the idea of evolution as it is most commonly presented and perceived.

Again in regard to similar aspects observable in different people, it would seem that human self importance has again played a trick on our perception. Many would see such as a "special" thing in possessing or seeing certain aspects being more pronounced than others - this I would venture is really only due to some aspect of said "proximity" and influence in the ways we do perceive it... and further, as mentioned, those we have yet to really consider - more directly, we tend to relate to said influences which appear to be most prominent at a given point in time for instance, within that workings and strengths of that larger process. It seems we gravitate toward the more recognizable in that sense - most likely as result of that present influence as well. As well then further, in the meaning of proximity from a physical understanding - that which is perhaps influential psychologically - given the place of a given example "gestation." Being of the most common understanding as per "gestation" or further, though just as prominent beyond our immediate consideration... those aspects of gestation we seldom acknowledge such that which transpires in a common conversation - then further yet, the consistencies of a given example conversation as per the conditioned aspects of a given proximity... on and such.

This then lends to further thought in regard to the broader sense of human interaction as those "proximities" intertwine in a global sense.

This is arguably something to consider even further in the physical sense (and common association with"gestation") given that in other species aside from humans, it is possible for several inseminating elements to imbue their attributes into one "litter" of offspring, for instance.

Though this is a physical example and is very much contained within the "animal" world, it still serves to illustrate a rough gist of such "proximity" influence from the physical (our reality) perspective in relation to other aspects.

Now then, given that I have observed similar traits in different people - combined with yet other traits - and have done so in vastly different parts of the U.S. as well as having noticed such in those from other parts of the world - this means that such is a considerable consistency - and further, an example of an all encompassing motion within that larger process.

In considering this I again see where such is a relationship between ourselves and that larger process - a relationship which could prove ill if displaced too far and/or too hastily (in my opinion).

I feel this as well is influence with and through those structures of thought as I have addressed them - again being elements of that focus through which individuals perceive (within a given level of individuality). ~

As I have touched on, it could be seen that "intellect" and "knowledge" are some form of disease/affliction as it were, being that they are a transformation - they alter ones existence and perception as does various forms of affliction/virus'. Though it does seem that such as is "learning" is very much an innate process - it could be perceived as well that such tendency is very much a pre-disposed direction of "removal." The "removal" of several things beyond what we see as "stupidity," including the lack of imposed limitations consciously acknowledged through conditioning.

In that thought I find another interesting dichotomy being that a total lack of such considerations, perhaps to the animal extreme as with the example of various inseminating elements (again, without consideration) as well could be construed as another form of what we know to be insanity - again, this in comparison to an "animal" normality as being the actual and initial standard of perception.

In this line of thought, and in combination with what has been established in "developmental aspects" through our removal from that larger process - it could be then stated within the seeming inversion that exposure to that larger process is actually what had initially promoted the beginnings of said "insanity."

Consider momentarily the result if it were that such an effect as is that multiple inseminating influence, transpired within the human species as it does with most animal examples? Then further consider such if it were that something like that transpired without the presence of a controlling influence (such as those imposed limitations in the form of "structures") on that process of our perception, alone? What of resulting effect on those "structures" as we now perceive them... and then even further, what result in regard to that which we consider intellect? That human capacity element?

It seems that such would surely amplify the "animal" aspects within the human species, if not directly introduce what we would perceive as capacity loss. Especially if it happened over and again as a consistent form of reproduction on all levels and considerations.

For some reason, within the human species, we have the ability to discern between "information" influences within that idea of "learning." But only to a certain extent as has been proved. Given no other alternatives than a very controlled "structure" so to speak, then yields through that conditioning, a very narrow scope of perceived - acknowledged possibility.

I would even go so far as to state that in my opinion, that tendency very much represents the dynamic we are currently living within on a larger scale, of/in depriving ourselves of said connectivity. In that then most assuredly, reducing the quality of existence on some level, whether it is readily perceived or not as result of that "removal" and deprivation, so to speak. Again, very much as result of perceived "advance."

Further considering this within our established consistent "emulation" - how is it then that areas within that technological "schism" aren't yet attributed to such dynamics? As if such were a divergence of a form of divergence - as emulation of sorts.

Interesting thought if nothing else.

In considering another aspect of "human progress" within the physical sciences, I see another area where several things are culminating which may become problematic within the consistencies I have observed and explored in my writings.

As if through our hyper-focus on imposed limitations, we are actually diverging from that larger process - much in the ways I have described.

This area isn't necessarily one aspect or "idea" becoming the problem - but most assuredly the larger problems would result from those human tendencies to even the haste for which ever reasons - as I have touched on.

The next larger concern that I can see is in the introduction of those alterations, especially within the amplified speed at which we now exist (especially in the consideration that such applied aspects, actually put us farther being - as explored - through the focus on them to an extreme degree) - and especially because of its very tendency in resulting combination with those of the human nature.

It is as if we are containing ourselves entirely within the artificial atmospheres we are creating - then further doing so within the haste as well.

This is to say that we already know of the magnitude in changes which can occur within our physical reality/realm, simply through observation of that advent and introduction - visa verse rather - of electricity for instance.

In that development tendency and consistency alone, is reason for create caution in introducing those more physically altering "development/progressions" to our own - or other - very beings. Further then I find it noteworthy that such concern isn't amplified in the same respect and effect as is/are other aspects of perception within our physical existences - which I feel they most surely should be to some degree - within the amplified aspects of that larger process of emulation of which we are (in my belief).

Another aspect I have observed and realized concerning that "schism" as it were, is a tendency now to promote a sort of "self fulfilling prophecy" dynamic. Perhaps in some interest of further mimicry and emulation? Some odd reassurance which is manufactured in the effort to corroborate given examples of said "advance."

In thinking about this I see that such isn't from the "hyper-amplification" alone, but is as much due to a combination of said - that concentrated area of focus, and further then - the level of such exposure (and the rate of such as well).

This particular set of dynamics I will cite as further evidence of assertions I have made to the effect of that "our existence itself is of a resonation in effect on/in many ways - an emulation of a larger process. Which of course, as we manage to further "anchor" ourselves with hasty "advance," then becomes that aspect of divergence - separation as it were, from that larger process.

This isn't necessarily a "good" or "bad" thing. Only an observation of such a dynamic as it continues to transpire. further, there seems to be an effect which entails a sort of "return" to a more close relationship with that larger process - a "tethered" effect, so to speak... which then could be discerned as some sort of cyclical pattern.. when really, from my own perspective - it is more that which I have described, in the "re-alignment" as it were. Though nothing so extreme (or "linear") as is a pendulum effect. More like an elastic tether... which itself seems to grow in length the farther along in "measured time" that we exist. ~

Yet another tendency I can see within this amplified- "super charged" version of our existence - is the rise of a tendency (more an amplification of it) to attempt to "still" the motion of it. Some of this effort in attempt to "control" while others I imagine, in the effort to combat (correct) the ill effects of that amplified dynamic and exposure. That element of "control" being more of that human tendency to assert ourselves as greater in the "grand scheme" - and therefore becoming more of a meddlesome detriment in the larger sense than any other "result" desired.

This then seems to have lead to just as desperate a sense of un-caring in some areas of existence - perhaps in the effort to attempt to avoid contribution to those ill effects of even the attempt of "outright control" pertaining to that larger motion (or even just a "neighboring level").

Examples of forms of this "control" can be seen as the attempt to genetically manufacture more "perfect" humans. This as well I see as an area of danger in regard to that "introduction" aspect - being very much of that human tendency to haste as well as a sense of power and "control." Given the result of that advent of electricity - as well as the common tendency to "rush" unfinished concepts and products to market for instance - it is safe to say that such consistency would then extend into things such as "genetic alterations."

It would seem that our capacity and intellect is as much a curse in that sense as it has been displayed (especially in recent history) - that our tendency to let the more rudimentary elements still influencing our perception and impulses - to "over-ride" the more human elements from which capacity has arisen. This then becomes yet another direct contradiction to itself when observed in the areas of human societies which are party to some idea (or various ideas) of further honing (through conscious effort) the human species in which ever means.

It is especially contradictory it would seem, in those areas which would hastily make or promote such changes through overt genetic - chemical - manipulations.

To hasten such a "stroke" as if the "hand of god" in such manners - simply to say that we can - is in my own opinion, again very much a self defeating contradiction. Even more so when it is within one of those "self fulfilling prophecies" - being happenstance as result of focus, or otherwise. In regard to such, I personally hold great concern though being an individual I cannot see my concern as of too much import.

Surely, simply as such is physically possible within our reality - such should be examined - As much danger may be in not thoroughly exploring it, as there is in hastily introducing that procession - But, that in no way means such knowledge has to be implemented as it is found. Just because we have nuclear weapons capability, doesn't mean that they should be used necessarily.

Further in regard to that hasty attempt to control the physical development of humans, it is that essentially "stilling" that natural process and progression concerning proximity and influence seems to be of some importance.

Simply through observation a person can realize much of that natural progression - I personally can go through my day and see similar attributes in total strangers, I have seen in people that I have known. I am sure that this extends to much more than just a physical manner. That much is confirmed in the actuality of social interactions - those similarities which constitute a harmonious society, are very much as result of the culmination of similarities - in one way or another.

If such similarities were non existent entirely, there would be no such thing as society to begin with..... much less social interactions enough to call civilization.

These "attributes," though similar, are never of an entire "duplication" in manner. Further, I have experienced this in various geographic areas not relating to one another in the least as per direct relation of/to proximity. This then stands as at least considerable in acknowledging the non-linear aspects of that larger process, and as well is indicative of the sort of motion(s) within that larger process that transpire. Those being beyond the common consideration in regard to the idea of "proximity" and interaction in motion as well.

it does illustrate to some degree, that larger (or at least the closer aspect of it, to our "reality") motion and process - exhibiting both recognizable linear attributes (which we tend toward) and further giving insight to non-linear aspects upon closer consideration.

In one respect, this then means that in order to "cleanse" society based on the presence of certain traits in that hasty manner which has been attempted several times in human history, is in effect wasted and as well states the larger fallacy (or lack of confidence) in the idea of "stranger" elements dominating the "linearly perceived" aspects of propagation - then further relegating such ideas and attempts to that area of "self fulfilling prophecy."

Further it would seem that the use of such physical influences in the attempt to "still" that existing larger process, and thusly hasten the development of "more advanced people," again may be producing an opposite effect of sorts. In such controlling efforts then producing more who are over again, more dependent upon the very contrived augmentations themselves (chemical, artificial) - within that then, another example of self fulfilling prophecy though perhaps not so much purposeful.

This larger tendency serves as example to illustrate another perspective and result of extremes within that "schism."

I would even venture, as I have touched on before, that some forms of illness (especially psychologically) in our modern day are as result and effect of the resonations and continued consistency of that "schism" - a "cross canceling effect" then manifesting as what we perceive to be illness - indicative and as result of that "distance" we continue to promote.

In other terms, I would simply cite the effect as per said "illness" to be in direct relation of our species "falling out of phase" so to speak, with that larger process. At least in regard to the given combination(s) of proximity effect throughout the entire process in which we currently reside and are conditioned to.

In that thought as I have observed, is very much the opposite possibility of a larger "bump" in that process which could cause us to "lose touch" with it - but in that, it would seem that historically such "drop" has been more as result of human folly and endeavor than of our atmosphere, so to speak. Most times as can be seen, in the lofty efforts to implement some confined control, as it were. ~

A note having again found myself in thought pertaining to the extremes and effect of the "win/lose" frame of mind.

On a larger scale, when considered cumulatively and as a hypothetic geometrical design... the effect of such extremes in focus would firstly create a sort of pyramid shape - socially. This particularly in regard to the early "sovereign" despotism's, being that there is seen as "one (one set)" of "most high" - most extreme "winners," and then subsequently a hierarchy "down" from there.

When it is that this "win/lose" mind set becomes really extreme - and saturated through the populous, it then transforms the "pyramid" into a more confined and more parallel configuration, though not quite entirely "squared" given that there is still a place considered "un-equaled" within the dynamic of "win/lose."

This then considered in the more healthy "sovereign" social dynamics - yields a less extreme result in such geometries. Especially when it is that the "highest point" is more diversified in distribution of "power/focus."

Further then as consideration, when it is that this mind set is applied within the more modern "commerce/power," the tendency is again to go to those extremes within such social atmospheres as are the separate corporate interests for example. This usually being based upon a more diverse "topmost point," which then seems to yield a "frustrum" effect... which, over time and development, then seems to gravitate toward a more parallel shape given the tendency to establish consistencies within the given example "atmosphere."

As strange as it seems, this all then looks to be contained within a spherical shape of sorts, which continues to add to the imposed limitations within it (as per said social results), very much from the existing consistency and extremes of that "win/lose" consistency.... even in the outermost points of it, seeming to consistently attempt to draw anything not of the win or lose interests, into the area itself - much I imagine, to then allow the established perceptions of "win/lose" to become a valid influence on those previously not of such extremes in concern for said ideas of "win/lose." This then, tends to appear as a "packing" sort of effect.... insuring the sustained aspects of the "win/lose" dynamic through attempting to remove any other options within that "sphere of influence." This effect acting as a smoothing aspect on the existing "shape" as well over time, creating more cylindrical - smoothed - aspects instead of hard edges so to speak.

In this sense then, the consistent focus on "win/lose" in such extremes actually results in loss in a larger sense (thus creating a social flow within itself as well). The loss immediately out of any other option - and in that then as well, the social dynamic within existence for those of such committed levels of consideration for said ideas of "win/lose."

I discern that within the transition into extremes of such concerns, a given example entity goes through a series of geometrically representable "shapes," as it were.

Initially, there is that "pyramid" effect, which then through the tendency of growing concerns saturating the atmosphere with the participation of such dynamics - then sort of curves in the sides of the "pyramid" so to speak, within the tendency and effort to then conform to the presented standards of "win/lose."

This then, in the full event of such a cycle - presumably eventually ridding itself of any not concerned with, and conforming to the presented dynamic (being representative of the wider area of the geometric shape)... then become parallel in a more extreme sense, through the conformity to said extremes of imposed limitation(s).

I would imagine then, that this would hold somewhat true in the common social sense as well... even in regard to other ideas/concepts beyond that being presented as "win/lose."

In yet another perspective, this tendency has a direct opposite. Immediately obvious is the idea of presenting "one" extreme and unmatched "loser" so to speak... which then yields initially an upside down "pyramid" sort of shape. This then, through similar social motions as within the other example goes through a transition with and within the same innate human tendencies which effect the other presented example - but it would seem, because of those given tendencies within this "biggest loser" dynamic - it never quite becomes a parallel sort of shape. In fact, as I consider it, it seems that it would at best become a sort of oblong in an extreme sense, consisting eventually of two extremes - the most loser like, and the most winner like, with a plump of sorts in the middle of it as result of the initial social aspects pertaining to a "most low" point already having been established.

With no reason for extreme concern of perhaps becoming - or surpassing an established "most low" point, there then is less reason to push into an extreme of win/lose in the previous sense of striving to advance as "winner." This then even producing a slight area within it that is similar to the area of "no concern for win or lose," but being immediately influenced and susceptible to those concerns of win/lose through the social progression and motion within it.

When I consider these two examples of extremes in their initial states simultaneously - it gives me rise for great interest given the similarity it presents symbolically of and in relation to other areas of my present studies (theology). One example being the "pyramid" and the other being the upside down "pyramid." this as well presents some rather interesting speculations simply as a matter of simultaneous existence and consideration of said motions transpiring at the same time.

This then seems as though it would progress to yield a sort of "tear drop" shape with a slightly wider "top" than the common tear drop shape due to the tension between said duality in effect. This example of course has nothing to do with the religious connotations attached to this configuration...though I am sure that such is inevitable as per influence simply as a matter of course in regard to applied ideology and the social similarity initially of both extremes of concern WITHIN the idea of "win/lose."

Then of course are the aspects of dynamic further WITHIN these sets of dynamic, meaning that those at the perceived "top" are interested in an inverted sort of "want" than are those located at other points within said examples.... then rendering an interaction between the two very much linearly directional wants - being want of "winning" and want to maintain a dominance at the "top" of said resulting dynamic., within the examples areas of "win/lose."

Further having considered the action and result within the structural relationships - within the presented dynamic, I again can see where it is that the "collective" perception has been confined to a degree that must be directly related in proportion to that level of distraction and magnified "advance" which I have addressed. This would explain the change in efficiency of the result within that area not concerned with "sin" or "lose" as these developments have progressed.

This is readily observable here in the U.S. with the subtle changes of "qualities" as well as simply attention (and timbre) within the public arena of every day life. This as well gives a bit more insight into the area I have described between "modern speed/dynamic" and the initial intent, in motion. Perhaps even establish-able in measure pertaining to that area of discord.

When further considering the "motion" of this exchange I have described between the "divisions" of "win" and "lose" and those areas existing without concern for such, I have to consider that such areas are not "constant" or "firm" in exact or timed division.

For instance, a person leaving a ball game after having momentarily established a "position" within "win" or "lose," then progresses (even physically if traversing public areas) from "win" or "lose" into and through as result of travel, that area of no concern for such - and most times subconsciously. That is, without acknowledging such change in social respects.

It is then possible for that person to exist in a duality (on cusps and fringe areas momentarily) though still within a segregation of sorts between those "areas."

As the "travel," still concerned with "sin" or "lose," they are not of that area which is not concerned with such, though they very much are within the result of it as per the use and transformation of result, from the "win" or "lose" areas.

Again, as example I cite the use of public walkways going to or leaving a sporting even for instance - this in the effort to illustrate the intangible movement within that exchange from "area" to "area."

There seems to be an optimum balance as well for relation between these "perpetual results."

In some areas where it is that too much focus on "win" or "loss" has been maintained, it is that the result within those areas of "no concern" loses quality. Social erosion for instance, so to speak. That is again as example - the public areas for instance begin to fall into disrepair when it is that those living in those areas fail to allow themselves time for having no concern with "win" or "loss." Or again, even attempt to force a misconstrued negligence as that "area" without concern in the effort to maintain the appearance of some form of "superiority" within the ideas of "win" or "lose."

Again, it seems that such attempts only serve to solidify more a position within the "win" or "Lose" areas - and even more against the natural flow of un-noticeable change within the movement of and between them. To "solidify" and/or "seize" that subconscious interaction and motion in one of those two areas - being "win" or "loss" - seems to promote social decay.

From what I can discern, one of the effects of that "hyper-focus" of "cumulative" perception (as I have explored it) and that area of disjointed discord is a similar result to such "slowing" and even seizing of that motion and exchange.

Another example in a broader sense of where this exchange takes place in part, is again within the example of parents raising children. Their concern through such "labor" and "task" isn't for "win" or "lose," but in providing quality and opportunity through the time and effort invested for a more desired field of options for the children concerned.

Most times after some time, and results of these efforts begin to show themselves - there is a sense of accomplishment (or even failure) which then manifests as perceived (though partial) result. This culminates from no concern of "sin" or "lose" within those specific areas of such relationships.

This isn't to say that healthy competition isn't a part of those exchanges, simply that "win" or"lose" isn't the prioritized goal within the majority of that process.

I should say that I have yet to raise my own children - but what experience I do have with them as well as observations gives me substantial confidence in such statements.

As well I suppose I should say that immediate concerns of "did I do the right thing" do place such relationships within that area of "win/lose" to some extent, but from my perspective, such doesn't remain in that tone unless it is then augmented with anxieties pertaining to such concerns of "win/lose." Most times it would seem, arising out of concern for ones self in maintaining a "win" that is not out of concern for that exchange and process consciously.

"How am I" or "how are we going to look" removes those actual potentials within that area of no concern, and replaces them with that "hyper-limitation" within one modern pace of "win/lose" - obviously then forsaking the very relationship itself, much more so the potentials of greater actual success in the larger outcome.

So as not to confuse issues here, I am in no way suggesting, again, that healthy competition is not part of that larger process in the example of parent/child - in fact as has been proved competing together - that is, entering that "win/lose" area as a unit for activities, is quite healthy as is/are even subtle competitions within entering that area, as a unit. Different sports team options - for instance.

These examples beyond being a personal view, serve to illustrate in another way the dynamic (possibilities) within the motion and exchange of that ongoing process within "win/lose" and the un-noticed area of "no concern for such" in those moments where obviously such concerns are not readily present.

Further within my opinion, to attempt to place ones self within any of the "three areas" (in this example), is to again and without control, be within the area(s) of "win/lose," thus annulling any opportunity of "existence" with such efforts beyond that dichotomy of "win/lose."

As you can see within this dynamic process, it very much is that the hare never over takes the tortoise. The "effort" to do so, never results in successful attainment of such goal. In fact, even having such as a goal in this example, not only maintains a position within "win/lose," but even puts those with such intent farther behind so to speak. Always within that "win/lose" - the "intent" presumably being to maintain some superiority over/within an area having no concern for "win/lose."

That want of, and even obtaining "win/loss" then transforms those with such effort and concern directly and immediately from that un-noticed area of no such concerns (the tortoise, for instance) for such "goals" - for no less than the duration of such "win/lose" concerns.

this is readily illustrated on a very large scale through using human existence (and supposed progress) as example. Such "perceived" progress and existence; being the "hare" - and that larger, ongoing process which we "emulate" - then being representative of the "tortoise."

Each time we successfully "emulate" or "solidify" a development (thus rendering an imposed limitation) - we are then fallen behind the larger motion simply with the solidification of that "development."

In that, we as a species, and even further - our reality - are always "trailing" and even falling farther behind with each "solidified" advance/area, as it were.

I have addressed what I have observed pertaining to this effect I discern, in different ways previously, but within this example is a different perspective to consider within the solidified emulation we are, as a sort of motion - a "motion always attempting to become still" in some respects, through said solidification's (imposed limitations) we call advance.

As another example to illustrate the "hyper-focus" effect of our perception and reality acting to remove us farther from that ongoing process and motion; It is that if a building were designed and built in our modern day using ancient methods - it is very much that even the "progress" of architecture itself will have progressed in bounds from the "current" - modern - ideas and levels at which they were when the building using ancient methods began, compared to where they would be when it was finished.

This is not to say that such shows our "advance" and "progress" - it is to say that the use of "old methods" stands to represent our current level of existence for instance - and that "hyper-focus," where within this specific example, the actual advance of modern architecture in that time frame used to employ the "ancient methods" could then hypothetically represent the motion of that larger process - in comparison and regard to the larger motion in relation to our perceived progress.

This example as well, serves again to illustrate the interactions (relationship) I am addressing. In lesser extremes it even serves to illustrate the finer (smaller) areas and movement of our relationship with that larger process.

Even further it could be said (and is true in my opinion), that several buildings could be completed using "modern methods" during the time it takes to complete one using "ancient methods." - but just as true, we as a species and "reality," are no less "behind" in either case as per that element of focus on that which we have "procured" from the emulation of and within that larger process.

In fact, those concerned with producing more buildings for the purpose of "winning" something, are even further at a loss for having further removed themselves from more of the existence potentials within and as result of that area with no concern for "win/lose."

Most assuredly a person could argue that in the "old methods," with each "brick" for instance which is placed, is the concern for precision and thus a "win/lose" designation - where actually, from my opinion and perspective - such is a matter which more relates to the parent/child example than to immediate concerns for "win/loss." But again, within the idea of reality and the human species, both are "points of focus" while the larger process continues on.

Ourselves anchored firmly in that which we have managed to solidify in emulation of it. Doing so over and again with each perceived "advance."

There really are some great similarities with our initial, still progressing version even to my untrained eye. One of which looks to be the establishment of a loose affiliation between countries, which is similar to the value base structure of the dollar in the U.S. - though I am unsure as to how similar precisely - and that isn't to say that European Countries are like the dollar.

This also seems to allow for some semblance of that duality in "sovereign/power' and "commerce/power" co-existing, though again in a slightly different way than it has here in the United States - and I should say is something I would appreciate the study of in a few more years. Study that is, of the dynamic similarities in "structures" which perhaps have been applied to different usages.

I cannot quite put a finger on it now, but I sense that our extreme example of "commerce/power" has allowed for that co-existence in many ways - if only in having "birthed" the possibility so to speak, and through maintaining it - even in and through some of the more rough times where it would seem extremes within it were more a burden than was/is the concept(s) itself.

Admittedly this is simply a personal and quite topical observation. Such in no way means I do not present very arguable points within said observations and conversely in no way means any sort of firmed dictation of such.

As well, again in observation it could be said that these individual examples of what I refer to as "emulation" of that larger process, are very much that - each co-existing in tandem, though seemingly a bit juxtaposed, linear or non linear - but again, all as emulation of various facets of that larger process. Each "splintering out" so to speak as its own manifestation, while co-existing and interworking/intermingled with one another in our daily lives. Each being contained of itself while interacting with others. ~

As another musing, this then presents a "rough" structure of "motion/dynamic" which is rather interesting pertaining to the dichotomy series I have observed.

This means as it seems to have transpired, that within the "commerce/power" societies there is something similar to this;

As well it then means that a similar structure exists within the "sovereign/power" social dynamic. When a person then arranges this visually - it could yet again represent unmatched progress of human existence as well as illustrate the stabilizing effect I touched on previously;

It seems as I think about it, that the effect of that duality would serve as well to permit people to exist more in those "area" without concern for "win" or "lose," while it is that the more present (pronounced) "normal" dichotomy continues un-effected as it were. Likewise not effecting that "area" which I can envision as the ultimate area of existence within a "Utopia." This as well, while the "natural tendency" of those concerned with "win" or "lose" readily sustains that area of existence not concerned with such social recognition and placement. This happening in more than a fiscal or physical manner - again, being that the concern and over-focus on "winning" or "losing" keeps itself contained within those parameters.

This presents incredible potentials and very much in a manner that is conducive to the idea of "Utopia" nearly equally given that those focused on "winning" or "losing" are filling their "needs" in performing such actions and interests.

It is very much like a "win/win" potential all around - especially in regard to that aspect of experiencing the sensation of "greatness" in everyday life. It is very much part of such "greatness" to know the sensation of "defeat" as it were, as well as great victories.

Now then, I must say that I believe those concerned with "win/lose" will immediately assume that "area" of no concern for such, is predominantly about great (and advertised) monetary wealth or even publicly social station. I don't see that area as such but more see such concerns as are want of "large wealth" and want of extreme fame for instance - predominantly of the "win/lose" focus of concern and dynamic.

Further it would seem that such an "area" as is "no concern for said limitations as "win/lose," was meant for a more common use.

This is definitely something that I will again address as my studies continue... and as a note, I should say that I don't think it an "area" for "un-caring" either.

As I have briefly addressed within this and other notes, In my belief it is that such concept(s) as is the "third degree of civilization," are not only in motion but somewhat "progressive" in a sense (as I see such designs in conjunction with human tendency, that is).

It is from my perspective, that the current manifestation of what we live in here in the United States of America, is initially of a certain combination of various aspects of various applied concepts - then put into application in action from and through other various perspectives (initially) pertaining to the "idea" of that "third degree of civilization," but such doesn't mandate that (those) combinations as the only possible (or even most efficient in regard to progress and change) combination of said ideas within said applied concept(s).

This means that the "progressive" element is not confined to the current version(s) (variations) in application which we exist within here in the United States of America(or other places), but further is capable of "refinement" outside of the established emulation (and subsequent layers of emulation in that consistency) as mechanism here in the United States, as well as other combinations in emulation existing as social mechanisms elsewhere - then further within their interaction as a matter of course.

As I have mentioned, one such manifestation (layer/continued emulation) has taken place and continues to progress within the communications section of various nations - each being subtly different from any other example - which again (in my opinion) is by design in use of within said designs of concept(s), as much as naturally occurring commonality - (the consistency of inconsistency).

As well, within the past few years (nearly eight so far as I can discern) another noticeable manifestation of this rather efficient application and consistency in conceptual structuring has taken place in the development and implementation of a new form of currency known as the Euro - which represents and is used throughout Europe within the E.U. (European Union). This form of currency has proved to be successful so far in exhibiting stability and added convenience throughout Europe.

I have not looked into it specifically beyond topical observation, though such is more than enough to get the gist of what I hope to illustrate in this observation.

This success is as well an attribute and indicator of the level to which humanity itself has risen in more than the topically visible.

Within the dynamic in which the "Euro" exists, are several different social orders of themselves - as well as just as many other forms of currency. The successful co-existence and continued value of these relationships indicates great success in the refinement and use of such conceptual structures - even though within my belief - such structures and concepts are as result of emulating that larger process in motion, as I have described in other areas within this body of notes.

In one sense a person could see this as then relegating the version (all told) which is active as, of and within the U.S. as being a "Greenland" of sorts to the newer example of "Iceland" in the success of the "Euro" and E.U. regarding the more recent application of variations within that consistency - but on further observation (again, topically) it is simply a more modern application (consciously or not) of those initial concepts which contribute to the idea of that "third degree of civilization" in applied use, and further I can see where it is that our initial employment of such concept(s) acts to then stabilize the newer implementation now existing there. This in many more ways than are topically obvious - one of which that occurs to me being a sort of vicarious use of that "commerce/power" structure existing here in the U.S., while still maintaining a sort of individual "sovereignty" within their own interactions and use of the applied concept(s).

In many respects, it could very much be only another properly forged "cog" for which to serve efficiently, the "next" area in a broader sense - in a much larger motion of progression.

As I have said, if it weren't for what we know as the "third degree of civilization" having been conceptualized and implemented - it still would have very much manifested in other ways and other things (in my opinion), through other means - though initially perhaps somewhere else.

As well in my humble belief, it is that something such as that "commerce/power" change would have had to take place before such levels of efficiency could have been achieved, as we now can see and experience. This is very much evident in that readily apparent series of dichotomy (and subsequent paradox).

Before such concepts were put forward and then implemented, it is readily observable in regard to the pre-existing "cyclical" limitations which were the common course of societies. A defined "inception, rise, then decline" was always the re-occurring, and repetitious series in social "development." It is only after the use of such concepts in application, that such cycles were transformed into a sustained and more constant level of civilization and resulting prosperities.

Oddly, as a personal note - it would seem that the imperative aspect within such a sustained level of society, is then the purposeful adherence to an applied parabolic cycle within it (that body of applied concepts). We actually then had to "apply" a sort of emulation of the pre-existing and detrimental cycle(s) in order to maintain that larger productivity and level of sustained existence. This of course, as can be observed - was provided for within those applied concept(s) through the use of those innate human tendencies - effectively utilizing the aspects that at one point in time would end entire civilizations, to in effect - sustain it (them) through use of said application(s). Each and every person could then experience the sensation of "greatness" through what would become common levels of existence. This then proposes the problem of "greatness" becoming a "common" experience - and thus no longer acknowledged as for what it is comparatively speaking. "Familiarity" with existing as a normality within what otherwise amounts to "greatness" so to speak.

As we as a species have developed our societies and social structures - it is very much an expected thing (especially now, in hindsight) to have established something such as the "power/commerce" dynamic. It seems to prove efficient (even through the apparent problematic areas) in an "elastic" sort of stabilizing manner. Especially in regard to the modern use of such structuring as it is "laid over" existing Europe while maintaining independence from it and those countries of Europe.

The "nerd" in me finds it rather exciting to be witnessing it occur, if even from afar.

As for the "longevity" of such success, the only thing to tell that from what I can see, will be the passing of time and of course the maintenance of important aspects within it.

Are we actually becoming a parasitic parody of our own existence, within our own "progress?"

As I have observed it would seem that the more we "progress" in that direction of automated living, the farther we become from that place from which it arose.

If it is as I suspect regarding the concept of "Utopia" itself, then such is most definitely where the more problematic elements within our modern society have developed out of. My suspicions being that "Utopia" is more of an ongoing process than any certain goal for which to aspire. There is "no finish line" so to speak.

As I have noted and as is widely observable, it could be safely stated that we now exist firmly within (and past the beginnings of) what can be considered "Utopia" for all intent and purpose. And it is something I acknowledge, being the necessity within such success for a given element to the contrary. In fact I imagine such is very much important to the health of any given example of 'Utopia."

Within what we exist through currently (the level of automation), this aspect seems to have lost that meaning as well - now being seen in some instances as a possible normality if not a social dynamic from which to rule society.

In my belief, such a direction and social motion is as well a victim of that over-saturation and amplification effect brought on in ways I have described. I do not believe that such extremes of detrimental activity and dynamic were meant to exist at such levels - similarly with the amplified effect of what we see as beneficial aspects.

In other terms, the "bad guys" weren't supposed to be driven to such levels of "activity," nor were the "good guys" in the same respect.

Another obvious illusion to this amplified dynamic, is that of the "ruling" element. It is as if, within that amplified dynamic (and possibly connected to those wants within "commerce/power" I have explored) those thinking they are vying for dominance entirely in "one direction" or "the other," no longer have the insight that the mechanism in which they "compete" is specifically designed to thwart such overt forms of "dominance" in several ways, for obvious reasons as history proves. Further within this aspect, is that much of that given mechanism is actually designed to utilize the efforts in such directions of "rule" and "dominance."

I personally don't see either of these directional "pulls" to be the problematic element per say - much because, as stated, it (the mechanism) is built into the mechanism to some extent by design - it very much is utilized by design that is to say.

That which I personally see as the most problematic (in "ill" over all effect), are those within such motion that, through perhaps that removal from insight I have mentioned, fail to recognize the aspect of design once they happen to "ascend" within their chosen directions to a point which should then dictate to them a responsibility of maintenance so to speak.

Further, as a note, something which tends to become problematic within the modern atmosphere - is/are the attempts to thwart various forms of that progressive corruption - many times in the effort to replace it with some facsimile of a worn consistency which seems to produce similar effects for shorter, more labor intensive periods of time than is the normal acknowledgment of progressive corruptions.

But it seems that such aspects do not occur to many of them within their endeavors - which then commonly turns to a madness of sorts and then acts "in" upon themselves.

This could be by design as well in a "self cleaning" manner as a check and balance - and is even hastened within that amplified effect. Those reaching certain levels of influence who then fail to recognize the larger dynamic and more so continue with the very same dispositions and while failing to contribute - find themselves trapped in their own desperation so to speak.

This isn't to say that I feel it is some appointed office or even a duty, only that it seems to be very much of the more efficient dynamic of that larger process within the concept(s) itself - this as well has begun to rot in a parasitic manner - meaning it is common for those ignorant of that basic aspect, to then "move" laterally in their panic - then spreading that "rot" to the other more stable areas within the larger movement. Laughably it very much is their own fears that motivate their spreading of desperation in having failed to realize the most basic of even familial and fundamental values - both "business" and "social."

This has put into motion another dynamic housed within the ignorance of that fearful desperation and scapegoating as the parasitic effect grows if unchecked.

Again, it isn't as though a person need "care" about society to fill that given role in recognizing the "maintenance" aspect. In fact, a person need look no further than their own well being in many ways, if even only in a business sense.

Presumably I imagine, it was assumed that any becoming influential enough to consider such - would at least have established some insight into social dynamics and their direct connection with their own success, not to mention the peripheral elements contributing to the common health of business.

For instance, if a person is "too bad," then it is that their own prowess and even size becomes a detriment to their own prosperity and conversely, if a person is "too good" at those levels - meaning that "all bad" is eradicated - such as well becomes detrimental to even their own well being.

That simple fact as well has become warped into a very controlled and even stagnating cycle.

further in regard to the parasitic aspect within this, as I have stated - our modern ease of living has created areas socially which act to house the parasitic element through out the social hierarchy and business world.

It would seem that all such a developmental element does and expects in their warped interpretation - is that such is the way it should be. But again, if such were the case, all would be as destitute as are they (morally and ethically especially), in a real sense.

Please know that I am not speaking of the "pauper" here, nor the successful business person per say - nor am I even speaking of the "artist" element of a productive nature. Only that element which finds and exists within something in a purely consumptive manner and does so while insisting on dictating to others in an effort to maintain their "acquired" positions.

In that I see very much the danger of becoming that automated parasite and parody of ourselves.

It would seem that the "automation" while wonderfully convenient, is as much a sleeping danger to the "Utopian" aspects of it all - and especially to that area with this "Utopian" society and existence, which needs to be acknowledged if only by simple realization. But then again, perhaps such is sort of a self guidance barometer within the larger cycle of such a concept.

When it is that "decadence" becomes so thorough that it and ignorance have filled the place of meaning and existence - that which has been forgotten will act out its own part in ways we will again have to discern and learn. This most likely through the next cycle of "social rise and fall" within that slowly progressing concept of the "third degree of civilization" and that slowly developing motion of the living metaphor called "Utopia."

In defense of this observation pertaining to "class" or "racial" ideologies - I should state that I am not personally from wealth, nor have I ever employed racism in my daily (especially professional and public) decision making. Further it is that I cite my own sibling as example of that lack of depth as well - even more so many of their off spring, given that there is a pronounced difference in our back grounds due to travels and upbringing.

Even more peculiar is the existence of differences within those areas as all do not exhibit such "lack (though we all surely must in our modern day and age to one degree or another)."

Again, I have to stress that this isn't pertaining to "stupid," or "dumb," or "smart" and such - only a noticeable element or lack there of. In that it is then that as a species we most certainly have retarded our developmental progress within the 'standard" potentials (what ever they truly may be) - doing so as much through focus on "modern developments" as we are in "propagation" as opposed to actual "procreation."

It would seem that within our automated "Utopia," we are forgetting to maintain and perpetuate "humanity." Promoting the "better human/animal" so to speak as opposed to progressing the "human being."

Within that, as a species we are then missing out on much of the very substance such a brilliant design and concept(s) seem set forward to fill our lives with - at least to provide the opportunity for such existence.

Choice and reasonable consideration has been replaced in some considerable degree with with topical want. Consequently, even "pleasure" has become more shallow and even fleeting in many instances - causing the "want" of something more without ever having fully experienced that which was possible to imbibe of beyond that "topical offering" and instant pacifying of "want."

In that cycle is again the predominant progression of choking ourselves off as I have addressed elsewhere. ~

With that all having been considered, I feel I must once more state that the more interesting part of this to me is the fact that "propagation" isn't necessarily "procreation" in a very real sense.

If I were a mad scientist I would probably be cackling with some disturbing form of joy at such realizations and "mad scientist" potentials within that leeway of/within humanity.

I balk at the consideration of our fate as a species though - within the idea of such lack maintaining a constant growth pattern - Is it possible to entirely exist within a total void of existence?

If it were that such progressed to such extremes, what would become of the human race? Especially with that and the ever growing confinement of "propagation" and capacity.

I must admit that it is a rather thrilling realization pertaining to the "mandatory" presence of cognative/capacity/essence/substance not being so, but to what extreme is it still conducive for existence to fall away from it as seems to be the current direction?

How far will be "too far removed" within our convenient, automatic society?

In further consideration, another aspect is the concentration of such as opposed to the variation and fluidity within the individual consideration of those without that "lack" in such extremes. That is to ask - what of social and human progress if it were that all were of that topical depth and its amplified consistency? Removing the individual element in the various depths of perception there-in - while comparing the two variations of "sine wave" in topical automation and cumulatively considering the various "other" individual perspectives from "less saturated" areas?

Is it then better to propagate the species or procreate?

Personally I would choose procreation.

11/09/2006 - As a note here, it is that while such results seem from the successes of the implemented social structure(s), and even in considering that the structure itself utilizes such to some degree.... it is further a consideration pertaining to the purposeful amplification of these types of "lack." What of the more detrimental aspects in this promoted direction being - more resulting in most instances as something even out of the scope which could be considered progressive corruptions? A sort of obstinance which is imparted more than developed based upon a grotesque lack of insight and conditioning... even in the degree of that topical automation being perceived as all, then further implemented as such.

05/26/2006

Again viewing our modern society, the human relationship and "development" within it - as well as that "area of tension" as result of the advent of electricity, I happened upon a metaphoric thought while enjoying the "partly sunshine" this early afternoon. That thought being of comparison yet again between the emulation of modern technology (being modern technology that is) and that substance and pattern of our otherwise, existence.

This perspective however, compares more the "duality" of that modern existence in ways I have addressed elsewhere, and the "idea" and action of the proliferation of our species. Immediately I am struck with a more in depth understanding of subtle differences between proliferation, propagation, breeding and even perpetuating.

I find this after pondering the different dynamics I have mentioned - combined even.

There is noticeably a "quality" element lacking in many areas of the human species - as much as well, as a growing "shallowness" of understanding which I have attributed mostly to that over saturation of "two dimensional" influence and the ease and convenience of modern existence.

Essentially I now realize with more depth of understanding, that the human ability to have children.... to "propagate" the species physically - isn't necessarily firmly attached to actual "progress" within the human development. This further supports the assertions I have made pertaining to a natural connectivity with something larger - and increasingly confined within - then funneled through modern media forms in our modern day (perhaps displaced as I have described, with the presence in volume of said forms of media).

In actuality, it is that the population has grown - and in some cases this has been done for the silliest of reasons such as procuring larger amounts of government funding - especially per political alignment without consideration for the "human qualities" which should accompany such conception (in my opinion), gestation and child birth.

11/09/2006 - As a note and just to re-assert a point here, there is another problematic area within this social spectrum pertaining to furthering the populous. It is very much that a person would be hard pressed to find a mother with a "dumb" child so to speak. In so many words, in their perspective - each and every one respectively is of a level of "quality." This is rightly a part of the intended result from our moder version of "civility," but what is unfortunate is that in a very real sense, if it were that a person or governing body made decisions based solely on those opinions of "quality" from said perspectives, that level of cumulative "quality" would most likely drop continuously. This not being so much the fault of those mentioned (and intended areas of social privilege through out society) opinions which span all classes... but from my perspective, is more as result in the ease of influencing those opinions - and thusly, re-establishing a standard of sorts within them for what ever reasons.

How then to maintain an actual level of "quality" outside of the "popular" and very "adjustable" topical sense without breaching that intended area of social ease and progress? How does society then maintain "actual" levels of quality and progress without finding some area being seen as transgression to the fact that "no mothers child is dumb?" Further, "no modern, media driven mothers child is dumb."

How does society guard itself, from itself in that sense?

It would seem that in these areas most saturated with those "two dimensional" influences - those human elements have been diluted in a more pronounced fashion, which in turn helps to perpetuate and accentuate that which is also produced within that "ease" of living.

I am in no way saying that humans should no longer have such "ease" of living - only that I have noticed that physical propagation of the species isn't necessarily accompanied in a mandatory fashion with that naturally occurring "progression" within that larger influence. That as well isn't to say that such populations are "better" or "worse" - only that I notice our physical existence and basic manifestation isn't entirely dependent upon the larger movement and "progress" of human development.

The metaphoric comparison deals with this realization and what I have known about existence not related to the over saturated areas of society from said "two dimensional" influences.

Again, I feel that perhaps such is as result of that schism and resulting disjointed dynamic from the incredible advent (the extraordinary circumstance of human derivation) of technology beginning with popularized and saturated use of electricity.

It is that I have known "large families" - being one (the youngest) of five children myself. Yet when considering a comparison of the over saturated "modern convenience" large family, and those examples I have observed that weren't so over exposed (nor "large" for ulterior reasons) - I noticed the distinct difference of a developmental sort. As if those over saturated examples are barren of a certain type of "depth" - some even to a "common sense" level.

I find that things I have simply known and even taken for granted as a normality in my life as standard knowledge - appear to be some sort of advanced information - more differing information with a certain extended insight - in some ways. Even basic "cause and effect" progressions seem alien in many ways to many of those given examples.

Again, this isn't to say "better" or "worse," only that a distinct area of change within our species seems to be developing.

This as well stands to support the idea that "substance" isn't automatically conveyed within the human "procreation" process. Which in turn then supports the existence of some other dynamic within connectivity.

The act of bearing children isn't necessarily "procreation" in the depth of meaning and understanding of that word - neither is it necessarily "progress" of life or the species. "Change" isn't necessarily "progress."

Such is true within modern technological advance as well. It is possible to see this by simply examining the internet for instance.

There are nearly countless "web sites" with a smaller percentage of them being of significance, and those that are usually steal from the others for "dominance" anyhow - which again is a direct reflection on modern society - with both examples being nearly equally without "human substance" so to speak - without that "depth" of understanding beyond modern convenience and that "consumer mentality."

Within this tension as a large consistency, I see perhaps potentials yet explored beyond the exploitation of that "warped" sense in the "quick" schemes and advertising.

It is consistent enough that a person could consider it a "social energy" dynamic even. Especially if it could be developed beyond being fodder for something else in that "immediate" sense.

In other writings I toyed with an idea of utilizing the instant that lightening manifested as a perpetual power source of energy. Though it is that the consistent dynamic within that tension is largely still unrecognized, it is a possibility that such could serve the place of the :lightening" in that "suspended state," in a social "movement" sense - again beyond the late night info-mercial and advertisers target.

I suppose I am suggesting to "hone" the sporadic element of it within its consistency, and then sustain it somehow for various, more in depth usage - even beyond the topical though rather successful area of "rock-n-roll" for instance.

In fact, a person might look objectively at something such as "rock-n-roll" in that social sense, to perhaps find greater potentials within that area of tension to be implemented in other ways in no way relating to the phenomenon of "rock-n-roll." And especially with nothing to do with the confined, rudimentary and limited aspects of it in regard to such a task.

I must say that it (rock-n-roll) is a rather interesting example of usage pertaining to that instant gratification in many respects - providing very near :instant ability" in producing it and instant access in experiencing it - especially for those who's personal perception is very much contained within the tunnel vision of it and the other forms of media.

Within that "success" is evidence of more efficient and refined potential and use of that "area" of "energy." What is even more interesting about this, is that such energy won't be depleted - "rock-n-roll" would have no less of it with other use being employed.

Please realize that I am not talking about a "target market" or that "precious" market share that is so important to most of the self important people involved with "rock-n-roll" as well as other forms of entertainment.

What it is that I am referencing here, is the consistent area of social "energy" within that dynamic. Barring a world changing catastrophe or development, that consistent area will continue.

why then not further utilize it?

in essence it is an entirely separate perspective of reality. An existential dynamic of itself so to speak, which transpires directly as result of that ongoing process of technological "advance" amplifying that "instant gratification" as it has been warped to become.

As it is used presently, it is usually approached with a large "goal" in mind which is usually of want to accomplish immediately.

How difficult would it be to simply re-assess that "large block" dynamic in instituting smaller "successes" in the common "linear" fashion, as opposed to the proposed and most common "vertical" want of its design in "ascension?"

A form of "carrot on a stick" and "pull my finger" combined so to speak. Reasurance of that instant gratification in the form of smaller "immediate" gratifications as opposed to that ever present want of the "big score," within that warped perception of potential outcomes.

Again, this not just being contained within the example of "rock-n-roll," but as much a tool to be used in social structuring.

Modern Society.

Thoughts about this subject abound - and thankfully so.

It is that we as a species are at the least interesting, if nothing else.

In again considering how it is that I perceive our version of this magnificent concept of the "third degree of civilization" and how it has developed and changed in the short period of time it has been in effect - it is that I again find a different perspective/aspect pertaining to the advent of electricity and the accompanying accoutrement's which have, and continue to follow.

The effect of and from it, as I have already addressed pertaining to other perspectives, is quite profound to say the least.

In those developments there is yet another aspect in regard to our social dynamic and in relation to the apparent design of our (human) current ploy at social structure. It is again, I must say, quite the accomplishment if I do say, and proof even of soundness within this ploy - that I personally managed to accommodate the ideas within it - then further as testimony is the fact that the design itself has managed to accommodate such an indescribably unique advance as was electricity - and continues to maintain at least the very basic ideas rather efficiently even in the face of otherwise mind blowing changes to the scope of perceivable reality.

Within that, I now notice more closely the effect of things such as the blinding speed of modern communications within something conceived and implemented in a time where such was not even the stuff of stories beyond the winged foot messengers of myth.

Again, as I have stated previously - beyond such out of context myth, there is no way they could have foreseen such developments. Those developments have served to "warp" certain aspects of those initial designs, and as much have served to disjoint some of what can be seen as intended motions within it - though not so much as to cause overly problematic elements to arise as of yet.

In fact, again as tribute to such brilliance - a person can even see the "reaction" and subtle changes within it due to such drastic introduction and change of pace and reality - as a form of "progress" and resulting "creation" of other social elements never before seen in humanity (human social structures).

In effect a person could liken it to an inadvertent birth and creation of (however detrimental or positive) an entirely different level of existence - which then mandates, as suggested, an entirely different reality.

Though it is that I hold personal views and opinions in regard to the extreme and over saturated effect of said, it is still that such is a truth in regard to said "creation." In pondering the effect of that "creation" and "growth," again from a different perspective - within the disjointed dynamic of "light speed" communications and the initial design(s), there arises a sort of tension which a person can immediately see as having amplified and warped the idea of personal achievement as well, and potential options into the "instant gratification" mentality - which of course is closely related to the consumer mentality.

If nothing else, this movement and change stands to justify and support the idea that our society is based on progressive corruption - and again, is the first to accommodate and utilize that human tendency to such a successful degree.

In this observation, I am not saying that such drastic changes are good or bad - only firstly that it isn't "only," and further - at this point in time, nowhere near stable enough to depend upon for other than its consistency.

It would seem that the elemental design within the initial concept of the recurring "parabolic" progression pertaining to "success" for instance, was hyper-stimulated - resulting, not surprisingly in what appears to be two nearly opposite "main" effects - the first that I can see being a "normalized" and expected instant gratification - the other - within the relationship of extremes, being the heightened potential of instant demise (especially economically) within the dynamic itself.

This then, it would appear, created two sets of dynamic in dichotomy it would seem - which then in turn has created a unique "tension" between the two sets. That tension now as I see it, having given this such very little thought, is comprised largely of that want for instant gratification/success and the insuring effect of extending the parabolic path of larger entities based much within the over laying (and perceivably "slower") dynamic.

This then lends to the illusion that those larger, "older" established areas must be "overtaken" to feed the frenzy within the "instant gratification." Such seems to have had an opposite effect in relation to the "insuring" effect.

Other aspects of this are the obvious "get rich quick" schemes as well as even the idea (presently) of e-commerce. That combined with the dynamic of interacting emulations I previously described makes for quite the situation(s) in motion.

Essentially what seems to be transpiring is the extended potential for expansion and "un-natural" longevity of the much larger entities (economically speaking for instance), while simultaneously removing the potentials of the start ups and/or independent endeavors. As well I should mention that the "instant gratification" expectations seem to work doubly in that sense against the smaller and start ups where it is that the "goal" is no longer a focus on attaining a "natural" longevity so much as an "instant" success. These in effect remove said potentials for the smaller/start up - and then further remove the potential for a growing prosperity from the initial parabolic design. This then presents the problems of coping with resulting dysfunction in cheating that progression.

Something else that I see working against the smaller interests is the heightened ability of the larger interests to simply see a "good idea" developing in the smaller/start up "area" - and over power it - at times outright stealing it in which ever manner is most conducive to the relating circumstances.

This with little or no recourse to the initial proponents.

Just in that, I happen upon a thought that perhaps the "social structures" didn't necessarily fail - only that they failed to accommodate that human tendency and then convert it from the obvious, immediate results of downfall, into some form of prosperity - which as has been addressed - our attempt at Utopia seems to have done to some degree. Especially in providing the potential for "checks and balances" of those detrimental aspects so prominent in human history.

So then, in the deeper realization that we are very much in an infancy of what could prove to be a functioning Utopia, I have to wonder when the "orgy" part happens for my generation?

Surely there must be the possibility of existence beyond the topical distractions we passify ourselves with. Obviously. such is well within the capacity of this mechanism.

In recent history - the "orgy" thing looked as though it was to be instituted - but those leanings soon drudged and "seized" as it were - much because of the overt sensationalism with the dynamic itself. Very much acting to stifle itself through such obvious and somewhat "devil may care" application.

In that then, I can still hold the hope of finding myself, some semblance of that area within "Utopia." Even if I have to make it myself!... as a pleasurable and slightly humorous thought.

Envision the establishment if you will, of utilization within that capacity and dynamic of an area in which the wholesome interaction and human exchange of relationships of carious sorts, could be explored without the want or need of "one or the other" being there to impart despair? Such doesn't have to be a blur, so to speak. Nor can it truly exist within the tendency, within the area of "win" of 'lose," of malicious intent and ulterior motives.

Such exchange while accompanied with excuse, isn't "Utopian" as much as it is as result of the "win" or "lose."

Of course a person must consider the element which truly considers subjugation and domination as pleasurable - in that though, there is nothing that states such barbarism as status quo in regard to adult relationships and interaction. I suspect, that for such to be valid as "Utopian" existence, it cannot exist within "one or the other," - "win" or "lose."

yet another wonderful and quite justified, permissible thought.

In considering the degree of automation to which we have progressed, I am again lead to observe the are of modern media and communications.

Again, I cannot help but see things such as the internet as an emulation of our very existence - though nowhere near as thorough as we seem to profess in lending so much blind importance on it. Another very interesting aspect of the internet is that it is directly as result of that concept regarding the third degree of civilization-personally I do hope that those tending to believe it the "path to Utopia" are few in number - for many reasons I have already addressed.

In looking at it again from my current perspective - that emulation begins to become more apparent - and especially in regard to its development and integration. As well as the overlying - or underlying if you will, social dynamic of it on the larger scale.

From my perspective - my perception of it, the emulation whether happenstance - or as I suspect as result of that larger consistency - has played out in kind of a creepy way. Having developed firstly from the social focal point of a rather pronounced duality (being the partnership within the larger, early corporation which pressed the saturation of it), then steadily into the main media trinity which is now beginning to fad in some degree - of that "duality" then finding competition from a "third party."

This could be compared initially with the age old social structure within that initial duality of the "church" and "state/sovereign."

Then with the introduction of that "third party" it could be likened to that concept as it has manifested with the U.S., as a "trinity" relationship...... which then, within that dynamic as I have explained - is now beginning to reflect those other, more modern influences upon that "trinity" with the emergence of other influences upon it - including a resonation of sorts left over from its own effectual rise some centuries ago.

Simultaneously I should note, that I perceive within that larger progression - is playing out (rather indirectly) other social dynamics which also can be noted through out history.

In effect, as it continues to develop, it is doing so "dynamically" in both directions so to speak, within our perceived "linear" progression as societies and species. More interestingly enough - this is happening in a non linear, non chronological manner - much in contradiction to the reinforced perception of said consistencies.

I am not trying to suggest that there will soon be hairy knuckled war mongers again walking the planet - only that within the immense social diversity of said medium(s) - there are those accustomed to such potential which are in effect reliving different levels of existence of their own - some in combinations within that motion, having already been found to be non optimum from where ever in history they did first reside.

Again, this seems to be taking place simultaneously. Similar successes and failures which have already played out at some other point, are again playing out within this new medium - though perhaps in different guises - with no chronological binding. None of the imposed linear effect which results from the saturated use of such mediums.

When you consider it, this is predictable to some degree, given the level of comfort (and further that "forgetfulness") which most societies now with such media options, have been developing and are accustomed to.

This then extends to other nations world wide, as well - and I imagine it plays out similarly within their conditioned social dynamics - more as a result of said. This being akin I presume, to "trial and error" in some respects, though possessing some aspects of such with no acknowledgment of it.

It is also proving the tendency of humans at a rudimentary level (as such results in, within said atmospheres) to "do what they will, but not by light of day" so to speak - again giving opportunity for those failed (and some forgotten) structures to take hold and play out as they again manifest within the elemental consistencies of humanity.

In observing more closely of "where" we do exist... more so in examining how it is that the elusive concept of Utopia has played out thus far within our most recent attempt - I realize a possibility within that apparent "self stifling" result we exist within. Mayhaps it is that such was intended to some degree?

It is obvious that within the concepts put into motion in order to begin this more recent attempt, that one of the main proponents of that "seizing" action was very deliberate - that being the shift to recognize power from the "sovereign" to "commerce."

In considering it, while it is that one of those results seems to have been that stifling (at least in part), simultaneously such has acted to maintain a level of prosperity which has never been maintained before.

Further in observing the dynamic produced within the "power/copmmerce" marriage - it would seem that it acts as a fail safe of sorts in regard to that previously consistent pattern of "rise" and "fall" within prosperous societies. In effect it has created a recurring "cycle" of sorts - allowing, more so diffusing the potential "one" down fall and demise, into a disbursed ongoing series of "non-affiliated" parabolic "rises" and "falls" within the larger workings of that "third degree of civilization."

A social body, community if you will - economically of various examples of "young," middle aged and older "cycles." A closer look at recent history would show that we as a species, even within that, tend to lean toward things becoming too large. Such is where diversity is key, I believe. If for nothing more than to preserve that larger guard against social stagnation and demise.

As well, I believe it is important that the "sovereign" element continue to exist in the world as well, especially when considering that apparent duality of/in consistency.

In all other societies throughout history - most of the prosperity was dependent upon waring and conquering. As history has proved, there is only so much and so long such can exist and provide for said prosperity.

Another facet obviously within the concept of "power/commerce," is in utilizing such consistency in scaling it down and containing it so to speak, while also removing the horrific elements in the more civilized use of such competitive nature.

It could very well be the first perpetual social mechanism devised as well as implemented.

Unfortunately, within the dynamic "within it," has arisen yet another pattern rising presumably from the want of haste in obtaining wealth among other things - one of the elements of that more "ill" pattern is the preferred use of dispair and misery to encourage the faster outcome.

Sure, without some unhappiness, none would be happy much less know happiness. Such is a simple enough truth - but as well there can be no happiness where all exist within despair, and especially when they feel such is the only means to maintain the perceived prosperity. So in that is again an imbalance of even the most common "reality" dynamic of "one or the other." Anyone must admit though, that the concept itself is sheer brilliance in respect to maintaining a social health and level of unmatched opportunity and prosperity - when it is of course, used in its more positive capacities beyond that "quick score."

Of course there is, as I have addressed, the problem with the devaluation of "breeding tendencies" - and especially with the introduction and subsequent misdirection within "suffrage" for instance.

The idea of equality is much more that potential within the larger mechanism in a topical sense, as it were - Unfortunately, the proposed understanding of equality being likened to "everyone becoming amputees because there are people with no arms or legs," is a sad interpretation and implementation of that concept regarding equalities.

The idea when growing and harvesting fruit bounties, isn't in hacking down the tree to permit ground locked vermin early access to fruit yet ripened. There is plenty of opportunity within that larger mechanism for such "ill at odds" as the proposed vermin, to learn to prosper in the stead of the now readily common "harvesting tactics" nearing inefficient absurdity, to not be needed.

In my opinion, such tactics as the ill harvest methods are obviously counter productive to everyone - even those thinking the early access to un-ripened fruit through such destruction, is profitable.

With those elements coupled in with the guise of suffrage - which could and does hold great potential for said equality - seems to have devolved in the saturated use and automation of said dynamic - into nothing much more than said destruction and topical drama - even further continuing to remove the real options and capacity for independent equalities, from reach.

perhaps it is as with most all else within what could be called an ongoing success in regard to "Utopian Existence," that as inhabitants we further remove ourselves from the insights of such brilliant concepts - through that automated ease of living?

In our pleasurable existence and all of the subsequent distractions, too much has been forgotten to be remembered it would seem, resulting in ill designed usages of what would otherwise be needed aspects of that perpetual maintenance.

When considering this dynamic (that of the persistent dichotomy) and seeming lack of consistency within the larger social patterns of said "dichotomy - contradiction" which humans have seemingly relied on at several levels - it gives rise to a thought, a different perspective in consideration of such.

Since we have established that all things supposedly have their opposite, and it is that we base much of what we call truth on such a seeming consistency - then it is that there must be an opposite of the "one or the other" dynamic which we exist mostly within.

This apparent fact alone leans proofs toward such claims as a natural connectivity which I have explored in earlier works and entries. Further this "proof" within the obvious manner in which it must exist provides proofs that all is not "still," nor is meant to be so in entirety. As if it weren't enough that science has proved all to be comprised of vibration.

In this apparent proof and its obvious dynamic in countering the overwhelming consistency of that "one or the other" dynamic, is very much evidence that all "ebbs" and "flows." There is the "one or the other dynamic" so it is that there must be a counterpart to that consistency as a unified continuity.

This simply must be a fact or all that we as a species have established is a lie - untruth - which as can easily be established, isn't apparently the case.

I also observe that one of the most probable places where this "contrary" to "one or the other" exists and flourishes - must at least be partly within the "parent/child" relationship. Further then and partly as well, within the areas not committed to "win" or "lose."

I suggest that the dynamic of "ebb" and "flow" is much within that connectivity as well- that relationship between "one and the other" and what so ever the counterpart to that consistency is - again, if it is that all exists within the seemingly ongoing dichotomy of "one or the other," in the progression of "paradox." Then I contend that said consistency continues considerably if not exponentially. We just seem to have yet to discover it.... and further then, utilize it.

Further, it is easy to speculate that such is only one option so to speak, which we as a species have tended to gravitate toward.

Our consciousness seemingly exists predominantly within the "one or the other" side of that "level" with the given chain of ongoing dichotomies and paradox consistencies.

This then leads me directly to another wonderfully exciting place of thought, which is predictably (within our consistent tendencies);

What then comprises the "duality" within that opposite? Which then leads to other "dualities" presumably?

Perhaps such is more akin to that larger "reservoir" of "a priori" and subsequently "a posteriori" which I addressed in my composition titled Proximity Gestation, as well.

This isn't to say that I believe such a body to be wholly and entirely of that larger 'source," but more that I see it as one of the last areas of "filtration" for it, between it and our "reality." (?)

Delightful thought if I do say, simply as a consideration... Especially if it were that we as a species developed in such a manner as to better relate with it.... Perhaps even traverse it, or work it into our existence someday?

What could be beyond it within that apparent consistency?

Just as delightful, I must say - to toy with and consider.

Having given myself another break from studies - in the interest of maintaining a level of freshness in the mind - I realized today after some thought pertaining to one direction in the modern day, as well as the recent past- that much which is heralded as truth is, as per the standards of establishing such - actually negated. Within much of what I have observed and described in that which is the "normal" dynamic of existence - seems to be an underlying consistency which is overly depended upon within that illusion of social progress and development.

The interesting part of this observation for myself, is that it demonstrates an odd "skip" in the "record" so to speak. It also serves to illustrate that schism I have noted pertaining to our illusion of progress through things such as technological developments.

The "cancellation" of this "void," as it were - seems to serve as an artificial "stand in" to fulfill where it is the ongoing dichotomy fails to hold true to itself (which indicates a larger level of human origin in maintenance and perpetuation - growing larger as the need for such effort grows in the negative equation of it).

This observation is that much of society and reality depends upon a "win" or "lose" action and outcome within just about every aspect of perceived decision making. Before I go too much farther with this, I will point out that such is entirely a human perception in my opinion - more a human tendency of assigning meaning. This then acts to, in effect, remove any potential of existence beyond "win" or "lose," which then in turn acts to negate any sort of access to a living timbre beyond the "waring" mentality.

Within that direction is proof that humans could never be "God" or "omnipotent" - being that there is such a dependence on that perception of "win" or "lose" - which again are opinions based on the presence of another influence entirely - which then negates the validity of any said omnipotence.

now then, from my perspective, this perception within the human mind "reality" immediately presents a problematic - though somewhat artificial area. It is its own shackles. I believe, after brief thought, that such is directly the very point at which humans can not actually progress. Can no longer make "motion forward" in actual development beyond the illusion.

To further illustrate this point of contention, is that within the human need for win or lose, is the lack of area for something to exist where it is that win or lose is inconsequential. In other words, the paradoxical dichotomy which humans so greatly depend upon and even utilize to establish "truths" through proving in the negative - meaning through use of an "opposite" to prove the side or point as "truth" - is itself an untruth of sorts within the constrained and over applied use of it.

To simplify this for illustration - a person could compare that consistency and need within the human social dynamic with a single "tao" being "yen/yang."

Within the over applied and sole use of that one "tao (established dynamic)," is the negation of itself - even while in motion. Through placing too much importance on that one dynamic (combination of "win" or "lose" in this example for instance), there is no place or possibility to create or maintain a direct opposite of the single "tao" and dynamic in this example - the "win" or "lose" aspects presented as example, that is.

Again in regard to modern media - this could greatly relate to what I have observed in the losses incurred with the over saturation of the two dimensional perspectives and influences - such obviously holds true with the over saturation of a two dimensional social dynamic. "One" or "The Other" soon becomes imposed limitation more than efficient social movement.

When a person looks at it, this dynamic is a seemingly endless process of "paradox's" which lend one another stability to some degree - itself becoming a contributor to that aspect of imposed limitation - then that itself becoming an inconsistency within the illusion of the larger consistency of constant paradoxes - is, as I have stated; within the "logic" of that apparently ongoing consistency of "one and/or the other (being opposites)" there-in is then presented a limitation given that within the consistency there fails to be a constant opposite of the apparent consistency itself - beyond the given example dichotomy. This being true in that aspect of extended series of paradoxical dichotomy.

To further illustrate this for instance - within our self important reality - each and every one of us perceiving from and for ourselves - is that "win" or "lose."

Within that itself is NO readily apparent opposite. NO area within our existence or reality that equally opposes the "win" or "lose" paring (and that which it exists within) - no place where win or lose means nothing and is not a part of our every day - again, especially within an all important "equal" extreme as is the larger consistency of dichotomy leading to paradox.

Of course there are more aspects comprising our general reality than simply "sin/lose," but the consistency of dichotomy leading to paradox seems rather pronounced.

In considering this it occurs to me that a person must realize that in such extreme focus - such a dynamic proves itself a "lie," or an "untruth." Even within the effort to "assign" the task of "opposing" to those perceived as "losers" for instance - such is still within "win" or "lose" though being manufactured and maintained through conscious effort.

Even when a person considers a culmination of "non-moments" as representations of that supposed opposite - such negates the concept of equal opposites to begin with in the fact that so much is dependent on "win" or "lose." ("Non moments" being descriptive of the idea of non attachment to a given example moment. "Non issue tasks," even to the extreme of hypothetical non-presence).

As a personal note, this entirely supports my stance on "Will To Power" as well as my perspective pertaining to the idea of perfection. Again, I find myself drawn to the unconscious parent/child relationship when I look for possible "opposites" to the importance of that one describable dynamic within society of "win" or "lose."

Even in that is little to show for equal opposites in regard to the paralyzing use of "win" or "lose" within humanity.

Laughably, it would seem that we have seized our own progress and existence through over importance on the topical and very child like need to see ourselves in such labels and within such limitations. If I do say, such proves points I have put forward in comparing humanity being in a sort of large infancy. We possess potentials for greater capacity - but continue to grasp such a simple (and very limiting) social means of comparison and even decision making as if it were a security blanket or a stuffed toy.

We continue to distract ourselves within the substance-less problems which we create in effect, through that dependence and dynamic - which as I have established, is an untruth within and comparatively, with its own standards.

Metaphorically, it would seem that humanity has chosen the direction of a proverbial "rabbit hole" - that of a self perpetuating labyrinth - amplifying artificial puzzles and problems while paralyzing our existence and progress with our own focus and seeming want of imposed limitations. As if we managed to mesmerize ourselves and stand frozen or dazed continually focused on the result of our own actions.

Perhaps, as an amusing note - we may even be as is the person hypnotized into dancing like a chicken at some traveling minstrel show.

Even as a self perpetuating imprisonment as it were.

What of that "opposite?" That place where our want of "win" and fear of "lose," does not exist?

Knowing that from our own current perspective, such isn't possible- it is in that where it could be said that we even negate our own existence.

How incredibly hilarious!

We do not and cannot even be in existence through our own reasoning and perspective - in our own version of reality!

Humans cannot (could no) possibly exist within and of their own reasoning!

How wonderfully funny we are!

Perhaps someday, if it is that we actually manage to move beyond our current obsession of self limiting - eventually we may be able to use such an over focused perspective as we do the aperture of a camera. Introduce such perspectives wholly and only when the resulting dynamic is useful to which ever "right now" it is again being implemented within to serve a definite purpose.

Such on and in the larger sense, combined with that hyper-linear aspect in regard to "thought" and perceived "motion" within reality, seems to have produced a holding pattern of sorts which "expands" in an "outward" fashion... even descriptively, "horizontally..." allowing things to become "rotund" so to speak as opposed to "progressive," developmental - pertaining to capacity and the apparent depth in use, of the human mind.

11/06/2006 - How do we then transcend that over all consistency? Are we ever supposed to?

If we can imagine it, does it not then mean that it is entirely a possibility to some extent?

What of the cusp on which we have perched ourselves pertaining to the transitional tendencies between "idea - conceptualization" and "realization - solidification?" That area of our development which has lead us from the areas of perception employing imposed limitations as representation, to that of understanding without imposed limitations.

It is as though we just seem to hover there on the edge of it.. even without really recognizing the potentials and potential in transition - continuing to hasten the motion and effect of anything and everything from and within that "idea" into "solidification" area of the process of existence. Almost clinging entirely to the security of those imposed limitations we use for understanding... insisting they are "all" and "everything" ever possible or imaginable.

Most certainly, the idea of representing the concept of "all" as in the configuration of a tree for instance, is quite profound - but beyond that is the ability to no longer contain (and limit) the idea of "all" for the purpose of our need to grasp... even to seem as though we are more than said example. But we even shy away from such directions, struggling even at some points to maintain those limitations we have established within that larger process.

The use and comfort of such representations is itself an example of the parabolic process I have described pertaining even to the process of "idea" into "reality." It "hardens" and becomes brittle along the line of becoming comfortable as reference in the capacity of limitation.

In so many words, at first such concepts (limitations) seem quite boundless and profound - but through use in understanding, they grow firm and even brittle to some extent - then becoming more of an imposed limitation than a liberating realization.

Such seems to be the consistency of our tendency within the realm of "idea" into "reality." Then you add into that, the modern tendencies toward hastening this effect for what ever reasons. That parabolic curve from idea into reality, then easily could be seen - more described as a hard slant with the rate at which ideas are snatched and solidified.

As long as there are "groups" of people - "societies," then it seems that there will always be a "group" competition. And given that any having individual attributes within such groupings are usually set aside in some way if not even ostracized - in an effort to maintain the "group," then it is through these reasoning's that there will always be war in some degree. Especially when such groups are blind of such a simple understanding.

11/06/2006 Incredible paradox from my point of view. Stranding ourselves in the area of warring, for the sake of "safety in numbers" to begin with. As long as the tendency to group is, then is the tendency to compete, and further is the tendency not only to war with one another, but to actually promote it. Refine it and further it in various aspects. To "celebrate it" in the manner of sport for instance, is on one hand a wonderful way to exercise those tendencies, yet another is an incredible assurance that such tendencies will remain. Perhpas this yet again illustrates that area within existence where in humans reside - suspended to some degree between the physical, physiological and of course the metaphysical? Really an interesting dynamic.

In my opinion, the celebration of the individual is the path to peaceful existence through out the "society." But how is it that such individualism can possibly exist within a dynamic dependent upon the group mentality?

This doesn't mean that such developments will be immediate - especially given the common tendency and fears within groupings to "out" any individual - consequently seen as threatening. This is especially problematic in more "primitive" social dynamics where it is that one or a few are seen as archetypical and/or "in command" and are to be exalted and unchallenged with such attentions.

Such hierarchical leanings seem to be remnants of a combination in sorts - the presence of those more primitive elements and that alluring ideology of a sovereign hierarchical structure - every one of course envisioning themselves as the "top" of it. this even being displayed quite desperately in some instances.

A good example of this is in the misuse (within my opinion(, misapplied attempts at converting the "polarized" measure of "sovereignty" within the modern "commerce/power" structure, into emulations of such hierarchical social elements.

I am speaking in broad terms here, and am addressing the "progress" of "societies" in a larger sense.

This means to me that if it truly is still held as a social goal to establish "utopia," then it is that such "geometrics" within society must progressively fade - which, as I have addressed in the area of "competition," isn't going to be any time soon. Perhaps we already live within the best presented version of "utopia" to date, and have simply become so accustomed to it that it again seems brutish?

This leads me to think that as a species, we may have produced far more advance than we are.were prepared to utilize or understand entirely. As if we happened upon insights which on the whole, we are as of yet prepared or able to efficiently employ?

We have out paved ourselves so to speak in that line of thought. Perhaps even caused a flux in our "human progress" with the speed of progress in other areas, within it. De-volved ourselves even, in some ways - so to speak through cheating a natural progression... more in "skipping" parts of it through the accelerated aspects of others (as I have addressed in other notes, concerning different aspects).

In many respects within that same "dysfunction" we have presented more problems perhaps to overcome - we maintain competition, to sustain a peaceable existence and interaction. Within that distraction is a loss of understanding and "progressive development," within the ideas which have lead to those peaceable outlets.

I am in no way putting forward any idea or leaning to do away with competition, simply examining the relationship and influence it has on society.

I am in no way stating that organized competitions are the reasons we still have war - as has been established - as long as there is "society" in that grouping mentality, and especially without progress in/within those ideas upon which modern society is based - then there will always be a waring mentality to some degree. Cultivated, even in different measures than once before, but present all the same.

Further, as long as there are those that "group" in such a sense, as has been presented even those short centuries ago, there will always be war.

Yet even further, as long as there are those that seek safety in large groups - again will be sustained that competitive mentality. Especially in regard to male/femal relationships.

The female seeks safety and a sense of security. Such is found in being part of a group. This becoming very alluring in the instances where it is that the female is celebrated as a deity like presence - as opposed to the equal part in society as has been relatively recently presented within representative democracy..

This then dictates that men must compete within that group to establish any mating potential. Oddly enough, if it is that a male is seen as too much potential, it (he) is then seen as a threat and historically has been exiled or worse.

In many ways historically, this has presented the opportunity for actual human progress on his part within the potentials beyond the grouping and further within the results of said exile. Unfortunately such exile also promotes waring actions in the establishment of mating potentials when such is sought from any within the "group" mentality.

Outside of that mentality, the potentials are very near limitless provided those potentials are recognized as well by others in dissension of the previous "group" environment.

To maintain the "secure" of a group environment is to insure impending war and destruction as well as perhaps the demise of said "group" or "society" - especially in regard to response to fears within it given the potential cycle which can be set within the human tendency toward corruptions to begin with.

This as well can be established in more ways that the "group choice" given other influences and human tendencies within it and outside of it..

It can be forced upon a "group" for instance, containing it so as to promote such reaction and action within it, upon itself. More, those that tend to group altogether to firmly in a rigidity that betrays their fears and weaknesses.

The tendency for people to "group" is itself an interesting observational subject matter.

How then to conquer fears within a "society?" Would such itself then lead to the demise of that society? More than likely I imagine, within the current capacity of humans and given the sheer numbers of the species.

Who would endeavor to remove such handy areas of control in allowing "advance" to continue? Especially within the areas of lost insight and understanding which in turn has lead to deeper areas of "groupings" - the automatic aspects of our modern societies?

Perhaps such automation was implemented too soon as well? Far before we were ready to maximize its benefits. Far before we as a species were finished with the more primitive experiences and dispositions which we still embody and exercise? Perhaps the version we have cast ourselves in is now possibly all that we will ever know of the potentials within such incredible concepts?

How then do we address it in any other way beyond our own cognitive capacity from where we exist and our present perspectives? Especially given the aspects of "radical thinking" being immediate reason for said social isolation as is ostracization?

Is it that only certain areas of society (are) will be permitted to experience and explore those brilliant ideas in application? Foresaking the larger brilliance (and intention from my perspective to "bring humanity along its way") in making such an "exclusive club?"

Who then and how is it to be decided, are the people to experience such a level of existence? How should they be chosen (if acknowledged at all)? Respect and understanding regarding the idea(s) presented within the concept of "utopia" for instance?

How could any "choosing" be just within the ideas presented to begin with?

Should it be people that "conquer" their way into a "group setting?" Though directly and again contradictory to the idea(s) itself?

It could never be the impoverished which were "selected" as exclusive members and likewise it could never be the "wealthy" for much the same reason and for fear of losing their fortunes on top of that.

It could never be the middle class as there is always a competition of some sort to pay attention to.

It could never be any of these social areas within existence, exclusively.

Should it just be forgotten and erased until some further development beyond our modern limitations allows it to be unearthed and then possibly yet again, fought over?

Perhaps, as has been presented, we are living the remnants of it now? the tattered and shredded remains while we clamber around insisting on being seen as victorious in some more primitive way - one day to the next.... and in that, effectively again locking ourselves OUT of the very concept(s) itself - being "winners" or "losers" in each decision an thought. Desperately clinging to action for the perceived results of "win" or "loss," instead of in celebration of even the actions themselves and what they entail within this grand apex we call society. Adding in that to the steady erosion of all we have called "progress" - while being as far away from the idea of utopia, while existing within it, as have been the more hellish examples of societies from history. Only having established perhaps subtly different cracks and crevices to hide within.... to hide from utopia itself and all of those potentials.

Such direction and direction of thought calls to mind personal explorative thought regarding study notes and essays concerning a comparison between the idea of Christ and even the concept of Utopia through representative democracy as a metaphor. I am exploring such elements as observational though none too surprisingly, quite functional given the comparison.

Within the idea of Christ for instance, are the potentials of extremes from "heaven on earth" to "a living hell on earth" and various combinations between... all within such an applied concept. When compared with the idea of representative democracy, there are un arguable similarities between desired outcomes.

Within the concept of Christ through the ages, human societies have granted themselves the freedom and area, as well as the responsibilities of producing the world we most want to spend our days in. As well it has happened within that concept, that the more hellish of human social examples have come to pass.

It is as if through the ages, that the idea of a "highest point of focus" has passed from the individual - being sovereigns - to deities, being outside of human influence - then to the body of populous as representative to and of itself.

In each of these examples I see a consistency of almost squandering the potentials in the nit-picking complaining and competition to gain some funding from some perceived governing body and other wastes, within some misconstrued and misapplied mechanism as result of innate human tendency rendering it as such.

In my opinion, the idea in action of representative democracy, very much is to be counted as a success in the area of utilizing and balancing those human tendencies. It is as though it actually employs the less than potential elements within said tendencies - to in turn maintain itself and society to some degree. Utilizing the tendencies toward various corruptions even within the lofty and most obvious/promoted aspects of human existence.

I should hope to publish some of these works soon.

03/19/2006

In reading "A Defence Of The Spirit Of Laws (yes it is spelled like that)," I happen upon a thought at reading Montesquieu's assertion against Hobbes's claim that humans are born in a state of war and should make war against all.

Montesquieu's dissension pertaining to this comment is in citing that "war" did not come into existence until after the establishment of "societies."

This is true enough, but it raises a question within myself as to why it is we, as societies, continue the same cyclical patterns of and for war?

Here we exist in the apex of human progress, we are obviously capable of realizing where it is that "war" stepped into the light of existence - but with that advance it would seem that great pains have been taken to assure that "war" was brought along as well.

How is it that we can exist within the potentials and height of human development in which we do, and still need the act of war to play out in our lives?

It presents a paradoxical dichotomy, itself.

As we continue to refine and develop the human species, we simultaneously maintain arenas and venues in which the "waring tendencies" can play out.

This presents the problem of actually retarding human advance while providing for peacable/humane areas in which to satisfy that (cultivated?) "social need" to conquer and make war.

Speaking for myself and from my perspective, I have trouble envisioning a world without something such as baseball for instance. That though, is very much a part of what it is that I am currently addressing.

Without such a venue, warring of a violent nature would most assuredly again, commence. (which itself raises loads of questions as per the permanence of humanities "advance")

With such a venue, a certain level of warring mentality is greatly celebrated. Maintained even as a normal aspect of existence. It seems as though such is inherent - but as Montesquieu has pointed out - such organized "war" was (and is) non-existent without "society."

Somehow all of the reasons justifying such competitive nature and inspiration within "societies," are "non-issue" outside of such groupings and settings.

It would seem in that then, that the path to something such as an ultimate Utopia, is through individualism - even in the "society" being a group setting.

With that said then, it would mean that failing to preserve individualism is to promote and even invite, war. Which then leads me to immediately see something such as baseball as being representation in our modern day with the most potential of addressing the "dead lock" of "waring nature" in sports and the desire socially to eventually no longer have such "desire."
