Solution Sentences

Humanity inevitably has to lie to itself about the achievable realities of its allegiances to the plans societies make, in order to find them desirable.

If we each undertook a personal responsibility to ensure the reasonable right for every human to live a happy, comfortable life, in spite of any allegiances, we would simultaneously prove our power as society and transform our plans into something truly desirable.

Ignoring self evident truths is commonly stupid

I'm often surprised by the number of people I meet in everyday life who exercise willful ignorance.
By this I mean, not only do they wish to not learn new things, but they purposefully expend energy to avoid doing so. They might even say something like, "I don't want to learn new things." They might even be insulted, "Don't teach me!"

I know the psychological and social reasons people have for adopting these or any paradigm, some of them have weight and can be problematic, require addressing, however most of them stem from laziness and that makes the phenomenon commonly stupid.

The surprise I feel when someone is willfully ignorant turns to anger because I feel that person is not living up to the potential he or she has as a human being and therefore is hindering the species in its entirety. This then becomes a question of responsibility.

We are all in this together.

If you find yourself ever rejecting new information, or worse yet, refuting established truth, or still worse yet, denying common knowledge backed by evidence, for any reason, please consider why it is you do so. Then try to establish if that paradigm has real value.

I'd hate to see the world go to shit simply because of incorrect assumptions.

Plunder until death...

Let's go to mars, maybe there's something there we need.
Minerals we can turn into weapons for killing each other.
A few more drops of clean water.

Let's change the monetary system into something real.
So a big mac in India is the same debit as it is in Antarctica.
Let's start eating each other.
Make our madness complete.

Let's only look back, let's presume we're right let's plan for more of the same.
Let's consolidate all our marketables into a great bland box.
Organise ourselves to run in circles.
Placate ourselves with imaginary internal battles.
Let's plunder until death...

anti-socialengineering.com becomes a real blog

I think this year I will take anti-socialengineering.com in a slightly different direction.
I plan to write a new book of social criticism and philosophy for publish in December, but I won't be putting any of it online, (or so I say now, anyway.)

Instead, I will use this space to put down my thoughts, briefly, rather than the usual textbooks I write.
I think it's called "blogging."
I'll give it a try.

Wish me luck...
