Theres no Difference Between Government and a Corporation


On government, the state and corporations. 

The terms 'Public' and 'Private' sector are images of the world that thought has created. So that thought can escape from sin and blame a despotic father figure, imagining it is now free and virtuous. Then thought proceeds to worship this image because the apparent results are so cosy. The harder thought worships the image, the deeper the image is buried deep and eventually rendered unconscious. To the point that its no longer possible to separate actuality, from the image. A sort of demon simulation, where followers are possessed by it.

By taking the whole of the world and dividing it into atomic parts of public and private sector, conflict is inevitably the result. Because both images are an inauthentic duality where the ideas of both sides must be full of hate for the other. They must be to attain and retain power over the competing image. But power never happens in the end, they are perpetually in conflict, harming and self harming. An economist would call this 'competition' in the Adam Smith sense.  Yet it is not the same meaning. Competition in the material worlds economic sense is fine. I am talking about the competition between images, ideas, doctrine, faiths...in the psychic sense.

So, can I take the whole of the world and unite it, as far as I can, with these images suspended? And if I could do that, even for a moment, what would I see?

I would see what is real. Because I'm no longer looking at images. I am looking at the actual thing - monopoly power. In this case I would see that government is just another corporation, with monopoly power and the biggest of all. Or that a corporation is just another form of government but with less monopoly power, a sort of loser. 

I'm not saying that is a good or a bad thing. I am just pointing at it. Either way the duality is reunited with actuality. And I can see that before thought has created these 2 images of public and private sector, it was just monopoly power. Or symbolically, a despotic father figure.

How would people generally behave, vote, interact, buy stuff, work, if they already knew this? Having seen through the simulation would people want to change how it works or would people be happy with it that way already?

PETITION: Government to indicate countries of the UK are open to accede to the US

Sign the Petition A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the United Kingdom, it would end their system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy . Instead, if they joined the United States as separate states, they would govern themselves under the U.S. federal system while receiving its protection. This proposal recognises that immediate change is unlikely but urges a serious con...

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview?

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview? I didn't. But it's when I believe my worldview, is truth, that I become violent without realising it. This is extremely hard for people to accept as possible. The resistance to seeing it and the temptation to escape from looking, is built into its foundations. So, I never said worldviews are bad for us. I did say that when I believe my worldview is a fact, then "I" become root cause of the worlds problems. Thought creates an image of the world. Then thought worships the image that thought created. I am scared of death. So I create an existential worldview about immortality - an image. This can be a God, a political ideology, scientific religiosity, atheism, planet saving activism, anything which my fear of death can hide behind. So if I do 'good' through this image I created, I will ultimately get a 'seat on the right hand side of God' , or whatever the image I created has defined as heaven. Then I w...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado

This is a proposal to show how the 18.6 year real estate cycle is a hang over from times where the mechanics of the lunar month were used by high priests of the time to forecast ancient agricultural cycles - what we would today call a business cycle culminating in a financial crisis or a great recession. The 18.6 year period is governed by the intersection of lunar and solar eclipses. It is known scientifically as the Saros Cycle. Where all 3 harmonics of the orbit of the moon coincide once every 18.6 years. The ancient scholars knew this. And the politicians of the time used it to signal the day when the economy would be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because this period was about how long the people of nations could abuse the economy before it was too late to recover on its own and much worse effects would have emerged. So it was the wisdom of the leadership of the time. As the aeons went by, the meaning and rationale of this policy became normalised - people an...
