I am society, and I've got a lot of improving to do.







The world's a pretty crazy place right now, thought you really wouldn't know it watching corporate media. We've all been presented a perspective that drips confidence in a world view. Right now a world view they want to transmit is Don't Panic the Elite have control. Whether it's media, government, education, science, or our corporations society works on a pyramid level. What we are, what we think we know, what we can think, values, judgments, our every sense of reality must come from authority. The model of the pharaoh hasn't changed much in 2000 years, they've just come up with more efficient models. This model is now failing.

The music industry knows the wrath of connectivity. Pyramid models of distribution are how control is maintained. It's how they can tell us what to like, and what to hate. But now we're moving into a media saturated environment. We're moving from a few controlling a mass, to a mass controlling a few. Artists will work for their audience, not the recording label. Popularity drives the income so the material that is popular with the most amount of people is rewarded most by the corporation. They've driven the soul out of music because it's most profitable when it appeals to the largest segments of the population. The use of strong sexual suggestion is well studied and implemented because appealing to subconscious cues brings in the money. They got very good a selling us products, not making music. Now recording labels are nearing obsolescence, and the whole music industry with it. You may not notice the effects of this now, but over the period of a generation it will be dramatic.

Cascading failures of this organization model will unloose profit control from every other place we can get data. Be that education, information, movies, games, or anything else that can be reduced to ones and zeros. The spirit of our culture is freeing itself. This will present a profound change in the structure of the human race. This presents a Brave New World that breaks with the previous Age of human organization. Who controls the spirit of our culture controls the human machine.



People are generally comforted by an elitist/pharaoh/pyramid model. It's what we've all been trained to accept and love. It's the only model. The elite are trained to know they are better and wiser and the people would be headless without them, and rest are trained not to use their head. Too much thinking only causes more issues for the elite to resolve for us. As this model breaks down we will all feel a loss of control. In the transition to real freedom fear is all we have to fear. Fear is another subconscious cue well practiced by those paid to do so. It is also very corrosive to our humanity. Whatever happens, Don't Panic. Sit back relax, and take control of the reality YOU create. Realities created out of fear, can by quite fearful.

So I guess the dilemma is finding employment that wouldn't even do a Facebook search, or doesn't care that support non-standard beliefs or that I am also starting a website. I will not give up on my interests for security.

This is how freedom is curtailed. Government takes many forms. Often it is our employers. The physical force need not be used when economic forces maintain the illusions of freedom. We are all minorities. We are divided by political, social, religious, age, economic, education, regional, and sexual identities. We are right about the world and everyone else is wrong. To think otherwise is to question our own identity. Our political party was always right, our race was always right, our religion was always right, our generation was always right, our social values are always right, our ancestors were always right. So many glass walls of faith in our beliefs that we've become terrified something might break. The time of the mega-corporations control our government, education, employment, news, music is at a climax. The time of isolating the individual from society is ending, now the individual is the society. I am society, and I've got a lot of improving to do.

"Men become daily more free, because the freedom of the man lies in his reason. He can reflect upon his own future conduct, and summon up its consequences; he can take wide views of human life, and lay down rules for constant guidance. Thus he is relieved of the tyranny of sense and passion, and enabled at any time to live according to the whole light of the knowledge that is within him." ~Albert Pike
