Imagine Society is an Individual with a Life of it's Own, Acting Out an Individual Life

Imagine Society is an Individual with a Life of it's Own, Acting Out an Individual Life

What is meant by this thought experiment?

We know what Society is - the hierarchical organisation of humans as it adapted out of wandering hunter gatherers. Society attempts to represent all humans it encompasses, not just politically and economically, but by Power.

We know what an individual is. We are all individuals... apparently, more on this later. The general belief is that individuals each have a life and a mind of our own, divided from all other individuals and separate from the outside world. 

Its believed the individual lives by its sensual feedbacks as an atomised unit relative to the material world. So imagine Society is an individual we all understand this way.

It's also believed Society is inherently geared toward uniting all these individuals as a primary goal, one day. And that Society is the best method for uniting all individuals. And that uniting individuals is what nature seeks to do and is a good thing. 

Now consider this Society imagined as an 'individual' has a life of its own, just like you and I believe we have a life of our own. That is, Society can act in the world, independently of the world. 

And this individual we now imagine called Society relies on 'thought' to make decisions on how to act. It acts out an individual life as if a single unit. This belief is sometimes referred to as consciousness, so image Society plays a part in consciousness. But is not necessarily conscious of itself. Imagine society, as 'conscience'. 

Now. Step back while holding this image of society in front of your mind. Find a quiet moment. Take a deep breath. And look directly at the image you can see of Society, What does Society now look like to you? 

Write what you now see down in a comment below.

PETITION: Government to Indicate Countries of the UK Are Open to Accede to the US

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 conversation to addres...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado - The 2026 Great Recession

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 always culminating in a financial crisis and great recession. The 18.6 year astronomical 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 had been measuring it for aeons. And the politicians of the time used it to name the day when the economy had to be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because they noticed around 19 years is as long as an economy can survive when being unjustly abused by its people. Any longer making it too late to recover on its own. And without the reset much worse effects emerge. They knew this. They did not know why. They j...

The 450 Volt Truth: From Orwell to Obedience

A Complete Thread on Dystopia, Milgram, and Breaking the Agentic State - Why People Act Irrationally and Often Violently When a Tribal Social Structure and Its Hierarchy Are Brought Under Serious Scrutiny This is a tricky topic. Please read the Obedience Glossary of Terms before proceeding Executive Summary This piece was written from a long conversation with Grok. I had to interrogate the AI quite a bit. And was astonished at how it produced such intelligence. I've included the most pertinent parts. Do not be fooled into thinking this is just another Orwell analysis. That is just setting the scene well. For what comes later on the agentic state and how power uses it to control the masses.  It may not have all the answers. It might wrong. A lot of it is very hard to believe is happening. But it still seems to fit the bizarre world of system wide dissonance we all live and partake in today, better than all the alternatives. So deserves your continued attention. By all means make yo...
