There's no fundamental difference between the public and the private sector. Private and public sector are only different in our tribal imaginations.  The marginal difference is that the so called public sector is the top gang who currently won over the collective of people who wilfully submit to them.  And the private sector perennially fight each other for the remaining spoils via monopoly grants and royal charters, patents permitting them to proceed with a small amount of freebies etc. Remember the time of kings where there were multiple families or tribes competing to be king. It was not always certain who would be the winning gang.  Eventually it all came out in the wash and a king was once again crowned and became the effective public sector. The royal court and the Lords became the private sector forever scheming about how to take over. Is there really any difference today, where it matters? I laugh when people talk about how the race has advance and evolved so muc...

We All Have a Theory Which we use to protect ourselves The theory is always a metaphor, a myth, a symbol, an image  It is not literal truth But it does point to a truth, in a hidden way And our theory can only be told in this way, through a myth To tell the truth directly puts us in danger So we use a theory instead to say it and stay out of danger Why is truth dangerous to me? Because it means I must confess my complicity in the actual truth So what is this actual truth? It is that I have wilfully submitted my eternal god given freedom, to authority on the earth and volunteered for slavery This sounds like a problem. But so what? This public revelation will bring guilt and shame on me at least Perhaps physical pain and death too. By others who have not yet seen it happening  Because they are at an earlier stage in this game They cannot see what you can see and it looks like a very serious challenge to their person So I signal truth using a myth, a conspiracy theory as a prote...

WIP Here is a classic example of: a conspiracy theory being used to tell a truth which cannot be told in any other way Hiroshima Revisited by Michael Palmer It's claim is that nuclear weapons have never existed. The book is low quality and does not enforce its theory well. But I'm not pointing this out to discredit it at all. On the contrary, I'm saying this is a classic exposition of a conspiracy theory being used to talk about a truth, with cannot be talked about in any other way. And those forwarding it should be held in higher esteem than those not doing so.  As always I'm not saying these theories are truth or should be used to make policy. I am saying they are being used to signal an actual truth far upstream which cannot be told directly and literally for fear of the harm that will cause the messenger. And the signalling is not done consciously by the messenger and this is why its pointless trying to reason with them using logic and reason. Following is how this ...

A Conspiracy Theory, is a Truth, Which Cannot Be Told in Any Other Way. It is not a lie. It is tribally epistemic. And is obedience centric. Obedience to the tribe is driving the theory far more than anything else. Especially the literal truth. So a conspiracy theory, is signaling truth, in myth and symbol, because that is the only way to signal it. It cannot be done literally for various highly rational reasons.  Several primary reasons might be: 1) by speaking it too literally may see you sent into exile by the tribe because it is forbidden language and knowledge 2) by speaking it too literally you may surreptitiously be found complicit in the very problem you're signalling 3) by speaking it too literally might place you in a position of significant shame and guilt Whatever the reason is for any particular theory, there is always danger involved, usually in the form of a serious threat by the tribe(collective or constituency). And this danger is the reason these truth...
