Being Seen

I'm going to talk about Being Seen and the Planet Saver archetype that I've created, and I allow to rule me.

I have a lifelong and urgent need to Be Seen by the world, as saving it. Or saving the poor. Or helping victims I will never need to meet. 

I do not want to do any of things that must be done to save any of it. I do not care about the world, the poor, or war victims.

What I care about is Being Seen to be saving the world.

Being seen.

By Being Seen, I mean I want people to watch me as I pretend to save the world. I want the glory that I might be able to steal by Being Seen. Maybe even a seat on the right hand side of God.

A kind of psychic rent seeking.

I am not conscious of myself doing this. But it does drive everything I do. Everything.

This Being Seen, is my world. I created it. It belongs to me. I created this image of the world where I'm seen to be saving it.

It's a cosy and precious place for me to live. I will guard it with my life. And I will make sacrifices of others as I exploit them, while masquerading as their saviour, in my primary desire of Being Seen. As I satiate my greed for Being Seen.

I do not care about anything else, except Being Seen. Being Seen is worth more than any wealth and power can bring. And my huge ego is tiny in comparison, to Being Seen.

I must beware though. When someone comes along and shines a light on my unconscious delusion of Being Seen, I am compelled to pick from one of the following 2 choices.
  1. I suddenly recognise the grotesquely selfish and ignorant world of Being Seen, I've created and choose to live in for what it is, and reject it immediately, forever
  2. or, I double down and proceed, to Be Seen, at an even deeper and more obscene level
This will not be a conscious activity. But I will act one way or the other, when a light is shone on me.

99% of people will double down. It's such a cosy place to be. This is the world that in general we call social organisation and civilisation. Let's focus on society on the whole, as an unconscious collective, all together acting to Be Seen as a first duty.

Being Seen

If I can take option 1) and manage to go over the frontier and cross the forbidden zone, there is no special victory or reward for me. There are no guarantees. But to do so will allow me to see myself as wanting to Be Seen. And I will know. I'll become conscious of the disgraceful world I created. What I'll do with that, God only knows?

This potential change of mind, from the deep, is not something a teacher or guru can teach me about. I cannot learn this or buy it. It won't come by praying, giving charity or being virtuous.

It's a direct choice. Made in the depths of my psyche. Which I make. Only I can make it. No one can help me. There is no teaching necessary. I'll make one choice or the other, deliberately and freely. I will own it. No one and no knowledge can help or guide me. 

Just because it is unconscious activity does not make it any less all mine and absolutely my a free choice.

Being Seen. 

When I stride about, proud of Being Seen, I'm exploiting the rest of the world, so that I can Be Seen. That is all. The exploitation and damage I do to the world is the food of Being Seen. This is the food of exploitation. 

Being Seen is like an animal that can never be satisfied.

I, as a planet saver never care about the world, the poor, the victims in a far away land. I only care about Being Seen.

Being Seen.

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...
