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.

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States (UKEXIT)

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.  Being English the main focus is for the country of England to accede. The original intent was to ask the government to lead on it through a petition leading to the question coming before the House of Commons. This was crushed out of hand by the committee leading petitions, which was not a surprise.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. Let us call the initiative UKEXIT (yukezit) 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 Unit...

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...

Government & Tax Death Toll

I'm going to show you how government and taxation causes more excess death than any other factor, even global wars and pandemics. It is and always has been the biggest genocide of all. And its deliberate. Government doesn’t just fail to save lives — it takes them, at scale.  2–6 million globally 200K–400K in the U.S. 50K–80K in the UK Every year. Every tax. Every regulation. Cumulatively since 1970 government and tax killed between 160 and 300 million people across the globe  More than all 20th century wars and genocides combined (260M) In the U.S. ten times more than all U.S. combat deaths in history (10 * 1.2M) In the UK equivalent to 1 in 15 of all deaths And the nations with more regulations and a higher tax to GDP ratio such as the UK and US, tend to kill more of their own citizens per capita. The poorest nations have a better record than the richest. All this excess death is rooted in the institutions of taxation - the theft of private property, by force, against your fr...
