Truth, Reason, Consistency & Making Peace with the Leviathan: Why I'm Here'

--- DiogenesWasRight

If you made it here, props on being a #thoughtful #humanbeing & intrepid soul 💯

I've officially lost count of the times my profile has been deleted for suffering the disreputable condition of #truth affliction;

aka 'Violation of Community Guidelines'

While I was away, a great deal has transpired/been evidenced for our #globalvillage & #collective #introspection to internalize &, ideally, elevate our #collectiveconsciousness

In general, Western #society has begun to reckon with precipitous structural decline & the hypocrisy of its many inconsistencies of #reason

This #intellectual narrative originally prompted my forray into social media

Like many of us, I had traversed existence never seeking to question or strive for #higherawareness that invariably says:

#dobetter

I worked hard; Studied hard; Read alot of 📚📖; & Drank several flavors of #philosophical Kool-Aid; only to find that my base #moral & #ethical framework for #introspective #understanding was at odds with #systems of #exploitation summarily not designed for ME

As it stands, the #globalcitizen in me has become disillusioned with

#capitalism

#neoliberalism

violent wealth extraction

& #anti societal individualism

that continually fail #sustainabledevelopment preferences & conscientiously elect to #resist a #sustainabilitymatters 🧠set

This would normatively see our aggregated #reasoning calculus manifest➡️socially optimal finalized output

Yet...here we are 🤔

Technocracy is consolidating power; while the 🌍 is, ironically, seeing traditional authority decentralized by incremental erosion of nation state primacy

As Truth is democratized, we are in a process that sees our ethereal #democracy principles under unprecedented existential threat

This mass transition to multipolarity is a mass consciousness transformation not guaranteed a "happy ending"

The #realitycheck is that we are at intellectual ❌Roads; & could be engaging marginal decadence that is nascent beginnings of a Neo Feudalism mostly of our own conscious design...making it more thorough

Stay tuned

'Navigating Controlled Demolition of America & Structural Decline of Western Society: Distorted Reality & Regression to Crazy'

---DiogenesWasRight

America has been intentionally deconstructed

Part-1 of this #twighlightzone discussion focused on contradictions of reason & the efficacy/legitimacy of the nation state model, as a reasonable tool for collective action/sovereignty

Now, is critical thinking on what this means for the #americanhorrorstory that is this nation's Comedy Central Bread & 🎪 collapse

I'll keep-it-100 & articulate that Americans may be LEAST prepared for the technological economic & political shifts that will soon happen

This culture is too use to enjoying insulated lives, at the expense of global citizens in our global village

It is also not use to taking responsibility for maintenance of what liberty & freedom does exist, as a result of prior struggle

(see Barack Obama)

The human beings in countries like China, Russia, or on the 🌍 Continent understand, very well, that #capitalismkills

Their collective consciousness also possesses an intellectual awareness on the nature of the social contract & legitimate authority that is vastly different than traditional Western rhetoric

In the case of China, it can be reasonable to say that national interests (ie, what's actually best for the majority) manages to be embedded in finalized political output

In the U.S....not so much

The libertarian ferver for property rights is so exalted, that it crosses the Rubicon of Hedonism and traverses a plane to outright SADISM

That's what's troubling

Its citizens are so enamoured with the WASP Work Ethic & "rugged individualism" that the mathematical reality check simply doesn't register

Thus, they end up yielding, both, the economy and political controls to owners of the capitalism monopoly game

The results?

Spending cuts 🎯 poor folks; while Military Spending is STILL not up for debate, morally or fiscally 😐

In the meantime, that minority #monopoly element are reconfiguring the corporate state to make it so that they don't have to export the American dream of exploitation

That can be done in-house 🇺🇸

'The Blues of Economic Fascism & Assumption of National Interests: Transnational Capitalism & Political Discussion'

--- DiogenousWasRight

The envogue word of our collective wtf moment is an oldie, but goodie

#fascism

Yet, when I ask folks to explain what it means to them, they seem to have a difficult time

That labor is even more challenging when I ask them to outline what it entails, as a function of economic resource distribution ?

When I engage critical thinking on any of the great "-ism's", I prefer to simply my reasoning

We get together, create some form of social surplus & engage each other in 2 ways:

•political dialogues

•violent conflict

Whether we fight/talk about it, the idea is that we create generalized ideology to DO something with resource capacity

In this process, we've evolved assumptive reason where nations are our primary tool:

• Humans have rational self interests

• Nation states reflect these in accumulative output

Yet, this implicitly understands that nations do not have interests

Ppl do

Our empirical history demands this observation

Our friends in developing african nations know this intellectual reality check well

There have been constant struggles for independence

Some revolutionary elites were killed. Others soldout for the favors of Western capitalism

Resources exported for pennies, while they paid a premium for the products those resources created

Internally, this stunted the economics of organic growth & debt was the prescription

This debt came with political "$trings" attached:

•Currency devaluation & export led growth

•Decreased social spending on public service

•Easy access by Foreign Capital to local markets

This exacerbated the cost to imports, as local currencies naturally weakened against Dollars/Euros

The idea is that these transactions only benefitted a minority able to take advantage of these favorable conditions...& the local elite

However, times are different & the Developing 🌍 are no longer weak

Still, the Leisure Class has a natural profit motive and efficiency drive

What that does the existence of #trumptrain mean for US citizens longer-term?

'An Apotheosis of Elite Indifference: Global Administration by Consequentialism'

--- DiogenesWasRight

Our 🌍 is in a particular intellectual malaise & crisis of consciousness & awareness

Now, we've never experienced real democracy & pure liberty of introspective impetus has never prevailed

Our collective consciousness, & the corresponding output that is yielded in social commerce by our collective, has never truly been a result of organic mass consensus

Our "free" market ideology is a most recent development. For the overwhelming majority of human existence, we've blended systems of Command/Tradition

...& these are still the 2 we prefer and use most

Command is justifiable in a majority society where critical thinking & validity of reason are not able to be tools for widespread adoption in introspection

Simply put, sometimes, the pilot simply has to fly the ✈️ & everybody else has to sit down

Tradition is our most reliable tool for administration

It costs minimal input potential, as it is mostly self-administered, & can be deployed by any deferential individual as a shortcut to reasoning

As an example, the Golden Rule is a simple form of tradition that many deploy, sometimes, w/o much rational thought

WHY? B/c it's time tested & it works.

Our current issue is that we've brought back some old Traditions inspired to reinforce Command

We've elevated, both, individuals & anti societal philosophical dogma to rarified air, in administration of our social surplus

The idea of neoliberalism is just one of many names that embody the system of myopic thought that should let us all know #thematrixisreal

Yet, the core concept is an "ends justfy the means" form of outcome based logic that is glorified to a point of exaltation

If an individual has enough 💰, their thoughts are valid. How they got that way is irrelevant

If a society is doing well, at the expense another, a lens of logic that says history matters is useless

However, as a Collective, when we apply that same Consequentialist reason & say sustainability matters ...do the ends justify the means?

Maybe in an ant colony

'Voting & Structural Decline: Aggregate (D)emand, (D)emocracy & Abuse of the Social Surplus'

--- DiogenesWasRight

The paradox of the humancondition is interesting, when it comes to higheawareness & reconciliation of cognitivebdissonance

We love the aesthetics of a priori intellectual deliberation; but hate the finality of eliminating negated alternatives after experience

This is specially relevant when it comes to voting & matters of consistent application of reason

The failure in Sudan & with Palestinians is a good example, where we observe moral inconsistency & what the "good" guys did after the "bad" ones were off the chess board

What transpires with anti societal conflict against these ppl has its roots in the system architecture that came to be the post WW2 political-economy

Here, our global village managed a collective response that, supposedly, rejected corporatist militarized economic fascism 🤔

This desire, managed by elites (such as Keynes) culminated in institutions dedicated to philosophical dispositions that would resist the base drives that fuel violent unrest

The theorerical basis was that capitalism & deference to free market principles were naturally intertwine with democracy and freedom of thought

However, this reasoning only existed in theory. In practice, the free market for social commerce was not extended to all

Ideas were forced by way of military supremacy & monopoly of higher institutions by system architects

Ironically, this monopoly condition has manifested itself within the borders of the dominant hegemon, as well

Its "free" market has managed only 2 Party considerations for participation thru alchemy of info assymetry and false dilemma

It's manifest a minority-owned war machine that creates growth via THE absolute worst type of "public spending"

Billions suffer, abroad, & Millions are marginalized, domestically, as ROI in these areas is concentrated with a minority

A small cadre of folks controlling resource potential in, both, the public/private spheres as they violently project outward

Ideologically, is there a name for this?

Is this WHY we vote?

'The Antichrist & the Evolving Multipolar 🌍: A Global Village or Slum Village?'

--- DiogenesWasRight

As a History matters type, it's interesting to observe how much, and how fast, civilization has changed in a short time interval

This is my brief rundown of the last ~150yrs:

•Great Depression

•2 🌍 Wars

•Ottoman Empire collapse

•British Empire fades

•Cold wars (capitalism / socialism)

•American pax rises, alongside neoliberalism

•Normalization of 🌍 recession

•Normalization of low-level conflict

•🌍 economic globalization

•Rise of Big Tech as dominant elites in 🌍 political-economy

Despite that rapid change, we've carried some Old Ways, from previous iterations of society, with us

There have also been certain consistencies; some of which exist in hypocrisy & contradiction to progressive process evolution

- We still have Gods/Masters

- We still rely upon exploitation as a resource allocation method

- We still use fear/superstitious reason to reinforce those conditions

Now, our collective consciousness is evolving resistance to these social antagonizers, as our 🌍 is in a precarious state of structural decline

Here, there is great opportunity to structurally adjust in a manner that allows concepts like Solidarity/Decency to be elevated at elite institutional levels

Still, our tendency to interject Old Ways into the economics of our collective reasoning is concerning

FEAR of change can negatively impact us all, in different ways. Some will burn down the house just to prevent others from having a place to stay

Some will accept some lesser form of existence, for security & the psychological perception of liberation

Others may default to predeterminism & simply say "It was written"

Whatever transpires, change is coming & we should be prepared for all eventualities & reasonably entertain all plausible scenarios

For me, the Antichrist will not exist as some unique, all-powerful individual 🚫

It will be a Collectve mindset

We live in an age of near exponential technological possiblity. However, we also reside within confines of dark ages

However it shakes out...WE will be choosing what society we evolve

Hopefully, this will be conscientiously

'Our Immortal Ideas & the Divine: The Arrogance of Wisdom in a Post Truth 🌍'

--- DiogenesWasRight

Malcolm-X was THAT dude

Romantically, I like to articulate his corporeal existence as divinely inspired "f*ck you" in a bottle

He told the unapologetic Truth with an intellectual delivery of a Kemetic sage & the bodacious confidence of an underground Hip-Hop cat going at a Top 40 rapper

It's difficult to tell the Truth, these days. Ppl who enjoy the benefits of info. assymetry fight against it & for control of your 🧠

This takes audacity/temerity that is rarely demonstrated in popular social commentary or operationalized output

When I was young, I recall asking why Black/White folks don't go to the same church? If we're on the same team, at the end of the day...why the division?

I also wondered why we had to keep giving 💰 to God (who theoretically shouldn't need it)...while nothing ever materially changed in society❓

There was still poverty & homelessness in our immediate vicinity & it made no sense that, after capitalism had exerted dominion...God's free market still required charity by voting tax payers every Sunday? 😳

Adam Smith tbeorized an "Invisible Hand". He didn't opine letting folks do whatever the hell they pleased 🚫

Our neoliberal friends love evoking this "divine" guidance; but they never mention the part where he also states that the business class only defers to the "VILE MAXIM" of profit seeking/wealth accumulation

(they also leave out the lying/cheating/stealing/killing to accomplish it part 🤔)

From a critical thinking perspective, this is what always made Malcolm salient, for me

He was a pious human being. Yet, he wasn't afraid to analyze his human condition & challenge the origins of his beliefs, when what was "said" didn't sync with what was "done"

In this way, he transcended his human condition, as preferential predisposition, & became an infinite, immutable idea for folks like me

The highest form of awareness is acceptance. It's as close to the Divine Realm as you're gonna get. For me, as a matter of philosophical reduction, we fundamentally defer to the same supreme Being, in the Truth

Truthfully, I still feel as though I'm within confines of a religious system in the contemporary iteration of our global village

This recent 🍞 & 🎪 economic/political farce has never been more representative of an intellectually distorted 🌍 society, which should serve as a reality check for us all

As we voted in ⭕s (with no improvements in infrastructure, health care, or education) for 40yrs, we were told to pick b/t flavors of #neoliberalism & #genocide

Consistency of reason didn't matter

Accountability was irrelevant

Morality went on vacay

Today, we accept morally/ethically compromised "experts" and pundits as proxies for Truth

Glorified mid-level managers called "politicians" oversee elite monopolized bureaucracies of parasitic surplus siphoning, inefficient waste, and summarily ineffective, non efficacious output; as they act as gatekeepers to the Divine Realm of Understanding

It's a form of arrogance that fools us all, even the promulgators of cognitive dissonance & reality distortion, who only manage to masquerade their musings as divinely inspired wisdom

Here, persecution of one with wisdom to know better, by those subject to their critical analysis, may be the highest order of intellectual tribute

Concurrently, it also exists as an example our our penultimate failure as a conscious collective, in allowing so many like him to fall victim to collective apathy & short-term memory issues

'Maybe it makes Sense in Higher Dimensions?: The Giant Cult, Pax Americana, & Bread & Circus as Required Reading'

--- DiogenesWasRight

I wonder what Alan Moore was contemplating when he gave Dr Manhattan an ability to operate at higher frequency & multi-dimensional higher awareness in 'Watchmen'? 🤔

Was he engaging social commentary & introspection on a human being given superfluous capacity in relative terms?

Was he speaking to fatalism in an Existence of predeterminism?

I ask, b/c our collective consciousness is undertaking a consciousness shift & there is many an intellectual irony here:

Our human made predictive ability saw us outpace Natural Scarcity a long time ago; yet, we increasingly suffer the man made variety

Still, majority society seems to be unable, or unwilling, to reconcile this irony of negligence and mediocrity

The only way this can be sustained is where resistance to critical thinking is structurally embedded in output methodology & reinforced by way of mass social adoption via intellectual captivity

I once had a guy try to defacto prevent me from passing a course, b/c he didn't like a source for a paper I wrote

It wasn't that the source information was invalid...it was b/c it was a "Russian" source

This was during contemporaneous times, where the likes of Norman Finkelstein/Cornel West were in the midst of being persecuted within academia

This was for their divergent intellectual understanding on current events like:

🔲Foreign policy

🔳Forever wars

🔲Financial crisis

or discussion/critique on the anti societal aspects of capitalism & systems for monopoly by elites in general

The Keep-It-100 truth be told was that there existed wider persecution in alternative areas for social commentary & debate by Americans

I knew, then, as I know now, that 🇺🇸 is nothing more than a giant cult, built upon a system of smaller cults

...& that #TheMatrixIsReal 😳

Since, I've traversed many cults of fallacious logic & reason

To a point that it is difficult to function, as one who will tell the truth to whatever detriment/material consequence

We live in a society that has been conditioned to resist critical thinking & embrace the cognitive dissonance of holding 2 Truths

We also live in a 🌍 where folks have lost faith in every social construct, as hueristic, designed to induce participation & reinforce compliance

Our collective consciousness & collective psyches are being assaulted; & the tragic irony is that what use to be called common sense has, now, been relegated to the domain of fringe thinking

This means there is scant domain for the revolutionary philosopher that would seek change via the conduit of:

"knowledge for it's own sake"

What prevails is a society afraid to reconcile History with end results; due to a fear of being wrong & an unwillingness to engage the steps necessary to correct that condition

It's easier to simply allow everything to be fluid and subjective

I'm just jealous...I really wanna be a cult leader

'Sychophants, Sociopaths, & selling Superman: The Big Dream & Controlled Demolition of U.S. Empire'

--- DiogenousWasRight

Although the Superman mythos was not created for folks like me, I've always appreciated the idea as a function of philosophical introspection

Unlike contemporary realism & elites that enjoy administration of our global village, he embraces Clark Kent

He exercises restraint/caution with his disproportionate ability to influence the collective

His ideology is rooted in introspective audit that fixes his enlightened higher awareness within confines of collective consciousness

He doesn't promote his reasoning > that concept & only intervenes in times of real crisis

Not human made

In this way, any final output is more organic and apt for mass internalization, as a function of democratic reason

My problem?

It's just a story

Similarly, our society has consequentially internalized minority inspired mythology that has culminated with incremental destabilization of a Western empire that has perpetuated faulty assumptions & cognitive dissonance

We selectively took a casual observation, by Adam Smith, & allowed capitalism to make a  monopoly game of existence; while omitting his moral critique

Limited truths of David Ricardo

The worst of Malthus

Cynicisms of Edmund Burke/Thomas Hobbs

were myopically woven together, with less than sophisticated alchemy, as faulty assumptions were projected onto our human condition

However, when we synthesize the Kool-Aid, we find that these prescriptions were simply recipes for mediocrity

We weren't striving to be like the "Man of 2moro"

We were implicitly saying..."THIS is the best We can do" 🫤

Those imparting this "wisdom" are now positioning themselves for the instructional decline of the old Pax & administrative hegemon, as a new multipolar 🌍 evolves

What has our Majority evidenced from the Big Dream we were sold?

Our ideological "$uperman" was never real 🚫

The real cat believes in organized chaos & managed conflict with a healthy dose unstable anarchy

He's just a guy

...that doesn't seem to think we can #dobetter by deferring to History & telling the whole story

'The Good Guys & Perpetuation of Elite Empire: Star Wars as Status-quo Observation'

--- DiogenesWasRight

Count Dooku and Anakin Skywalker both serve as intellectual "swing" characters for Star Wars fans who elect to understand the philosophical awareness beyond surface level

This is to say their character functions alter the narrative flow; as well as exist as critical social commentary for collective introspection

Neither turns completely "Evil" & both yield an introspective reality check, where it pertains to both aspects of the Force & structural analysis/critical thinking on HOW the hierarchical systems they embrace/reject are maintained

In Dooku's case, he existed as the "ultimate" Jedi master, from a standpoint of Platonic ethics

He believed in walking it like you talk it

To "be good" will be to "do good" as daily disciplinary practice, as well as overt visual social que

Yet, he surveyed the landscape & realized the very Jedi Order he wrote about, Noam Chomsky style

...was effectively maintenancing a system of tyranny in order to maintain peer/relavance 🤔

(NATO anyone?)

He assesed the Republic and basically saw Chicago, New York, Wasington, D.C., & Ancient Roman economic/political culture mixed with Sodam & Gamorra

So, dude switched teams 🤷🏾‍♂️

For Anakin, he realized the feminine aspect to his existence had been summarily removed by a combo of fate/design & that he had been reduced to a mere "hitman" for folks that disagreed with his elites

It wasn't about right/wrong. There was simply manufactured crisis in cyclical violence & perpetual conflict

He had plenty of raw power; but no real agency or material potency to make lasting change in keeping with his own morals

His teachers extolled "balance/restraint"; yet never hesitated to use force to "prove" a given point

The Force, as collective consciousness , saw the "good guys" mimic Sith Lords of Christmases Past & elevate their #reason above that concept, instead of remaining subservient to it

Their influence grew exponentially & their ideology went unchecked

They were free to spread the IDEA of peace🕊️

Meanwhile...society never improved  😐

'Waking up & Checking the Vibe: The Fight for who owns Decentralization'

--- DiogenesWasRight

I lived on an island chain most folks want to be; but, for me, was mostly marketing

The homelessness was beyond common sense reason & there were a lot of working poor & poor people, in general

Part of my gig was to understand the society of the Native population; & I saw that their existence traversed much of the aforementioned malaise

Yet, I found they did maintain stability despite the history that led to occupation of their land

In many cases, socially, they thrived, where we reject Western normative aesthetics. This is especially relevant in the way of social cohesion

They reinforced each other & found ways to leverage their common ancestry/knowledge, to create systems that mitigated marginalization/lack of resources...b/c they had to

Switching context, observe Burkinafaso🇧🇫/Syria. Despite their variable political economic realities they are at varying stages of dealing with a general phenomenon:

🌍 decentralization of authority

This is for another day; but each nation is having to deal with impositions from more powerful actors in their respective regions; while:

1). Surviving

2). Developing the economy

3). Creating local solutions that work for them

The Americans of our global village should internalize this consideration, b/c this is happening domestically

🇺🇸 is being deconstructed to suit the needs of the Transnational capitalist class

Larger, wealthier stateswill exert influence over smaller ones; concentrated wealth/resource capacity will predominate, as economic realities force the system of federalism to cede authority, out of sheer necessity

Currently, corporations are chartered at the state level of administration & corporate activity is what dominates our daily lives, at more granular levels of state/municipal execution

Corporate transnational capitalism surpassed the military-centric economic model via regulatory capture, long ago

It managed to gut organic labor productivity, abuse the social surplus (taxes), & saddle the domestic "sovereign" with debt

Go to 😴

Game over

State budgets are already strained; due to over reliance on the Feds, tax extortion by corporations, & unfunded liabilities

This is a power vacuum that is evolving; & corporate elites will want to fill it, by way of monopoly of local production (cities)

They already fundamentally own them; but, what they don't own is YOUR willful participation

If it sounds like Feudalism: ✅

Still, the Western Roman empire collapsing, ironically, gives us, somewhat, of a blueprint & shows what is possible, in understanding how fuedslism was able to evolve

...when you 🤔 💬 about it

History possesses our answers & our power for positive, sustainable development lies in our capacity/natural inclination for organized collective action

Historically, it's interesting what a group of people can accomplish when possessed of good information & forced to by way of necessity

Just ask our friends in Ancient Kemet

'Sychophants, Supremacists & Sellouts: Or, why You've been voting in ⭕s for longer than You care to admit'

--- DiogenesWasRight

An interesting caveat to the P Diddy trial is this old school history matters concept of Black intellectual elites being groomed in Greek fraternities/secret society to effectively steward/marginalize Black people by way of:

•spiritual being

•spiritual awareness

•political economy

•collective consciousness

This is true. It happened. These folks exist

(this will be another post 🤔)

Many of us know the History facts of the famous public space debates b/t WEB Dubious/Booker T. Washington

The former advocated Black folks pushing for full rights

The latter deliberated elections that converged on conservative economic integration and amelioration to White Establishment

As a matter of personal philosophical introspection, I fell down with Dubious

However, that human being also had a duplicitous nature

Like many hi profile Black "leaders", he deployed the same $ystems of Western paternalist logic, and conservative reactionary ideology, he ironically protested against 😐

However, it's very difficult to conceal one's true nature, over time

You here in words

You definitely observe in actions

(where one is honest with one's self)

In revelation, you see counterproductive outcomes, using counterintuitive reason

What's more...these outcomes seem to be biased in a way that is disproportionately negative to target demographics

You listen to them spit their talk game & allegiances seem blatantly obvious

If I am a Black person & extolling Henry Kissinger, Margaret Sanger, or Margaret Thatcher

...what type Black person AM I❓

Yet, THEY are not the worst part of this American horror story 🚫

What's crazy is that we look UP to these ppl 🥹 & down upon ourselves

WHY?

The #realitycheck is that there is not a person on 📺 that has ever said anything that makes me want to stfu

I listen for salience

I count the accolades

I evaluate the external adulation

Then, I turn my critical thinking to collective survey of 🌍 society & review exactly WHO is "leading" me

...& I start checking for crackpipes

'Talking Decentralization (P2): Mental Liberation'

--- DiogenesWasRight

When Europeans came to Africa, they saw folks chanting, dancing, & what they thought was prayer to 🌴/sticks/🪨

For them, this became 'Animism'

But, the reality check is that those humanbeings were engaged in spiritual connection with nature & their spiritual being

They understood they are indistinguishable from the natural world; &, as such, "God" would necessarily proceed from within

...no need to learn Latin 🚫

More importantly, what this does is reinforce sustainability. Yet, the truth be told is that their colonizers never truly believed in anything

The Western intellectual tradition originates in anti societal nihilism; stemming from human beings that got a bad break for geography/weather

They were already in (-) head space 🧠

But, it's difficult to SELL this to ppl with inclinations for intuition & introspection that ACTUALLY defers to higher awareness

Thus, education systems must be created to stifle critical thinking that might question things like:

•capitalism

•inequality

•endless conflict

•manmade crisis

This is the only way to get reasonable human beings, with special defence to the greater Universe, to work against intuition and, ultimately, themselves

•My Anecdote:

I was in an economics class & we were working on the Keynesian Cross system

It took us ~2 months to be able to construct, from base to mathematical derivation & visual display

You end up with graphs, linked by common variables that model why the economic logic of 💵 printing is a "thing"

There was a 'Gold Standard' crew that was arguing with the professor for when we 🛑 using it

He got mad & said:

["Look, I don't use this stuff. They MAKE me teach you this; & what I'm teaching you will only help you read the NYT's"]

I raised my hand & asked:

["If that's the case, can I get a refund on the last 2 months"?]

This was a time Dept Heads were telling us that our textbooks no longer "represented reality"; as the policy responses to the 2008 Credit Crisis defied common sense reason (and the natural 🌍)

Yet..they were still teaching the sh*t

It doesn't get anymore unsustainable than putting the rising generation into debt with only indoctrination to show for the exercise in collective action

But, Western logic is, somehow, superior?

We must learn to reject these systems of nihilistic skepticism that project rationality; but, only exist as predatory mechanisms designed for purposes of truth distortion

'Talking Decentralization' (P1): History'

--- DiogenesWasRight

If you are a global citizen critical thinking on current events & questioning systems for  distribution,

ask yourself:

Q1) Why do I engage society & form government ?

Q2) What are my perspectives on human beings in default state ?

Now, evaluate history matters of empiricism

The 🌍 is being decentralized & authority for deployment of resources is undergoing a consciousness shift

Western expansionism has peaked; & nations no longer suit wealth creation needs of #elites & borderless Transnational capitalism (TNC)

The International Order is devolving into Regional power sharing

Domestically, the Developing 🌍 (DW) is re-engaging global market participation; with a focus on nationalism & collective sovereignty

Western nations are in federal fiscal retreat, due to debt & decreased productivity

In the 🇺🇲 case, listen carefully

You'll hear "we'll give that back to the states", regularly

We don't have capacity for status quo service provisioning. Western TNC's own much of 🌍; & are only checked by BRICS nations; which have more assets under control

To me, 🌍 citizens should:

Learn➡️Respond accordingly;

particularly in 🇺🇲

🔳 Debt will collapse our society

🔲 We will have less taxable revenue

🔳 Inflation will decrease living standards

Thus, our collective will be in a Decentralization Fight with corporations

We should use the example of the DW; & strategically engage economics of local sovereignty

But, 1st, we have understand the "why" to Q1; & remove the negative assumption, as reactionary conclusion, to Q2

Humans have survived, primarily, due to blends of Command/Tradition; not a hyper liberalized Free Market 🚫

This has been accomplished by #solidarity & default state that focuses on cooperative participation & humanity first reasoning

Why would we organize for resource concentration? 😐

When the USSR dissolved & stopped subsidizing Cuba, the latter was food secure within a decade

Now, despite other issues, & US sanctions/blockade...they export Dr's

Like the DW, we should prepare & strategically ask ourselves:

"Why can't WE do it?"

'The Bill of Rights vs Property Rights: Globalists & the America worth preserving'

--- DiogenesWasRight

Jeremy Bentham offered his services to James Madison, as he viewed his newly created #state as an ideal idea incubator

These rejected European systems that created conflict with his equality matters & equality for all moral philosophy

He passed these to Mill; who would go on to become a prominent intellectual thinker on social contract theory that evolved our contemporary society

I use them to consider the inherent nature of America & Western society, in general

The US was created by ppl who wanted to:

1). Protect themselves

2). Get 💰

3). Reinforce the ability to do 1 & 2

In other words...they wanted to be elites Bentham had already seen that movie

He died being frustrated by the king, church, and aristocracy continually frustrating his reforms

Mill tried to rescue both competing principles

He worked for the East India Co. & justified colonization

Yet, he promoted Bentham's abolitionism & utilitarian philosophical thinking

Mill sought remedy by associating the human being & labor with property rights & making education the equalizer

We know how that worked out

Yet, it shows why we observe crisis

These cultures NEVER came to grips with History 🚫

You can't take myopic capitalism & think your "best/brightest" will also become your most morally upright

You can't run a hypothetical where everyone is given equal land; while history matters of colonial inequality have already shaped the field

Private interest is all that has ever mattered

Jefferson wouldn't craft a court system as a "check" to shackle himself like his slaves

The West fails b/c economic elites, now Globalists, simply ♻️ themselves by selective operationalization of ideas that allow it

Concepts like cooperative collective ownership are disregarded; but using mathematical inference to know more about citizens than they know of themselves...that's OK

Now, Globalists no longer need nations to protect their interests

This will include a Bill of Rights Bentham will have 💙

His Panopticon surveillance idea made the cut, however

'Oligarchy: What else is New?'

--- DiogenesWasRight

I've mentioned in other areas that U.S. empire is being actively deconstructed to yield political economic capacity to a multipolar🌍

However, this is not the entire intellectual story for collective understanding

Earth, Inc. 🌍 is being restructured, as a nation state model is no longer conducive to efficiency preferences of transnational capital

This stratification of our global village have no natural incentive to relegate their wealth creation potential to nations with inconsistent regimes/continually shifting political dynamics

In truth, despite political rhetoric, their natural logical preference will be for a Chinese administration model

Bureaucratically, they are more streamlined. Politically, they are more authoritarian & consistent

As long as you can reliably predict that your assets will not be nationalized...why not invest in a country with less red tape and a lower cost to investment?

Yes, these ppl exist as oligarchy in the aggregate; even though they may only manage tacit concensus reasoning

Where it pertains to influencing life for a majority of global citizens this elite cadre have manifested Bronze Age inequality that has decimated domestic stability within empire

This is not by accident

The truth be told is that the system has always fundamentally existed

Technology has advanced. The financial markets are more sophisticated. Yet, the old concept of wealth diversion in the way of elites is consistent

This is why ppl like Bernie Sanders are frustrating; as they are only NOW having us focus on the concept of the "oligarch" 🙄

There was life before Musk & Trumptrain

Our, now, defunct capitalism evolved into outright feudalism a LONG time ago...b/c we kept voting in ⭕s

It seems that we are poised to make the same mistakes, again

We have to understand the 🌍 we live in and the way the people that run our society think, ideologically, as well as strategically

Nations still matter; but not so much & def. not as far as "those" folks will be concerned, in the grand scheme

Not a diss. This is simply a reality check on what exists & where We are, as 🌍 society

'The Dark Alchemy of Wealth Creation: It's not A Wonderful Life'

---DiogenesWasRight

There's a quote attributed to Henry Ford that, in paraphrased synthesis goes:

["If folks really understood the system of banking in society, then there'd be a revolution in the morning" 🌅 ]

As time has progressed, and I survey our global village for contemporary awareness, the knowledge gap has ⬆️

Our economic transaction potential, & understanding of its inherent nature, has been hijacked and relegated to the intellectual domain of elites

As a collective, we have been conditioned to disassociate/disconnect our political aims from the economics of human transmutation of our resource capacity

While we've been busy voting in ⭕s of Bread & Circus ritual, our system for financial services has evolved into a monopoly playground of speculative interest rate awareness

The monopoly game of # interest rates has become vastly more complex than the old days of fractional reserve banking

In the case of our federal reserve (fed) $ystem, we see the central bank engaging in transactions of increasing sophistication/complexity that were not permitted in previous iterations of society

This includes intermediating money flow in direct exchange with private enterprise, where it historically was limited to deals with member banks

Here, the mechanics of the finacial system have changed dramatically, permanently altering our adaptive socioeconomic capability to evolve with our 💰

Those with access to cheap credit have lower barriers to entry in financial market participation

In low interest rate environments, they can afford to take greater risks and wait for longer for those assets to produce returns

In reality, many current transactions were not even logistically POSSIBLE, prior to recent developments in our monetary evolution

This is particularly evident with low interest rate environments that have fueled corporate buybacks & mergers/acquisitions of existing business

Here, benefits are frontloaded for an elite few to reap, while pernicious costs are deferred and set upon future generations

It's a neat magic trick 🪄✨🔮

It also distorts reality
