The Abolition of Society

Is society The Problem?

That is to say, do we still need to run a tribal hierarchy to rise to the great new heights which Mr. Musk is nobly striving for? 

@grok define society and all its parts

Allow me to make myself abundantly clear: these post are asking for people to think, not necessarily to act. So do not take them as a judgement but an positive opportunity to visualise the future for our descendants.

Do we still need leaders like the apes do to govern the tribe? With rewards for those who signal obedience to authority. And punishment for those who do not.

Apes need leaders and a hierarchy because without them any slight hiccup puts the tribe in serious jeopardy. The tribe could be wiped out by even a temporary shortage of food and shelter.

I don't mean to say that society needs to be abolished. But if it's holding us back, why not?

By abolition I mean to rid ourselves of the hierarchy. Do we need leadership any more? If so, pray tell me why exactly.

For example, the economy can produce ten thousand times as much output in wealth, per unit hour of labour and capital input, than it could in Roman times. A spectacular advance. 

The point is there is never going to be a time in the future where we run out of anything we need to survive. Existential threat is only possible from stray asteroids or the hierarchy we insist on obeying doing it on purpose.

The only real threat to humanity any more is that all of us insist on being obedient instruments of authority. The reason for this is because within a hierarchy, signalling obedience is rewarded, not doing so is punished. It still works so well because obedience is the best way to climb the political, social and economic ladders.

The curious thing is, this obedience pathology has been the case for about two thousand years now. No one dares talking about the abolition of society so that we could finally start to climb to new heights. That would not be signalling obedience. And if we cannot achieve this, the horrors Mr. Musk is earnestly trying to help us escape will simply follow us into space with the same ferocity.

So what do I propose?

To stop paying respect to authority by your obedience to it. And to start becoming autonomous people. 

Where will that go? I have no idea. And it will be the first step humanity has made on its evolutionary journey for ten thousand years.

NOTE: I am not an anarchist. That is just another power structure requiring a hierarchy and your obedience.

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...
