It is the Collective

Don't blame an individual.

Blame the collective of individuals who are upholding whatever it is.

An individual does not have that much power to do harm. The collective has enormous power to do harm relatively.

An individual acting as a proxy for the collective, often called a leader, is so easy to target. Because he helps the collective he represents escape from complicity. The best ones at helping the group escape rise to the top, elected or selected by the group exactly for that. So only stupid people complain about holding wealth and power to account.

This applies to all collectives. Most commonly in activist collectives who claim to be here to save you. They are the worst, the lowest of the low. Because their doctrine masquerades as the good. But it's just helping a bad group escape under a veil of planet saving.

These proxy individuals we call leaders are there to help large groups of people to escape from the complicity each member in that group partakes in.

But a collective of individuals does not think like an individual. A group is not conscious of itself so it's not possible to reason with a group. You cannot appeal to a group to change it's policy.

This is because a collective or group has no facility to observe the movement of thought as it happens. Only an individual acting independently does. And even then the individual rarely watches thought as it moves and nearly always falls back onto the unconscious group action - we escape so easily.

"...thought creates an image of the world. Then thought worships the image it just created...'"

This is why public matters and opinion which are clearly maniac and bound to devastate a society, proceed with such ease. And why so many counter collectives end up so bitter in spite of initially promoting the good, eventually causing harm in their own way too.

Incoherence. No one, even the best, are aware of the movement of thought.

So it's not the leaders of wealth and power who need to be held to account. It's the collective of individuals trying to escape, through it's worship of leadership. 

What to do?

Acting on this observation would clearly be a matter of faith, because the actions of an unconscious collective cannot be observed happening directly by the group itself. 

But God is dead. And we have killed him.

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...

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...

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...
