My second diary.
Some things have merit regardless of the source. One such thing is the idea of hypocrisy, which, when stated without a neo-contextual bias, is simply being clean on the inside and letting the outside reflect the inside. I'll explore how living from something is better than living for something.
The most pressing problem I see before people, is the binding of their time to a corrupt system, and learning to navigate it and learning to utilize it to the effects they desire. To 'use the system on the inside' to fix the system is an almost impossibility. As an hypothetical, what about the system do you believe, if you were to believe it, would be the crux, the fissure point of this system that would tip the balance of power in any way whatsoever?
Given that we want to alter the power balance so that our words signify to others and our actions are meaningful: Where does power rest at present and how is it flowing dynamically, such that we can even consider altering its course?
More below.
To answer the first question as to where power is, it is stored up much like 'potential energy' is stored up by the dynamical processes and forces in physical systems.
Power is the potential for change. This isn't to say it is necessarily sustainable. A static charge isn't sustainable in all cases and can be accidentally discharged in the right conditions. And likewise, it can be accumulated again through proper methods.
This affects a human system because the system's available power is governed by something. The laws of physics and food supply, or else entire complex social arrays that are supported with emotional attachment drives people to act according to roles they can fill in that system. Sustainability is usually desirable in such a system, and thus we arrive at our second question's import. How is it sustainable to hold so much potential energy for change and remain unable to change anything. How does it flow that it doesn't all discharge or else act erratically?
The answer to our second question, how do the world systems act in junction with all of the 'mental potential energy' of its inhabitants and supporters, is tied to the first by the devised methodologies of those who seek to conserve power, in any of its forms, and are guiding it, or else set up a guiding system that self regulates; much like the constitution which we all agree to uphold.
The agreement would be nothing should there be no effect if a person decided to leave its binding essentials. And we currently are held by it and its enforcers in an agreement we're not sure we want to leave, or else talk about for edification or the alteration of the agreement's stipulations.
With that in mind, commit all the thoughtcrimes Big Brother doesn't want you to.
You've been given that right.
