Social Rules of a modern Society
- Rule #1: Never read between the lines
- In example of the Bible: In a general way there are two approaches to read it: Open-minded and Restrictive. This is
relating to what you seek in it. Open-minded does there not refer to you accepting what you "think" you are reading, but
to your attitude regarding what you're looking for. So, essentially this is about Queer people, or especially - is it is
a Biblical issue - gay people. In just that example, the Old Testament states clearly that Gay folks aren't desired, or
that its disgusting, bluntly put. Leviticus 20:13 'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have
done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads. So, there isn't much
room for interpretation - isn't it? Open-minded the one way would suggest you take it, embrace it, and try to live
accordingly. So in that sense there is next to that "all the New Testament stuff", which is, well, whatever! What can it
change? Open-minded the other way is like when you dislike this stance of the Bible, when you look for freedom, the
modern spirit. If you're willing to look at it that way, you'll also find stuff in the Bible on that. If that is the case,
there is next to that "all the Old Testament stuff", which is well, whatever! There is a simple solution to it after all.
Jeremiah 30:31 hints out on a new Covenant which will come since the old one got broken. This new Covenant, brought through
Jesus Christ, further explains a lot on the Law, that it creates sin, that we are bound to sin by the Law, and that we
therefore are all sinners and thus doomed to die. In the Letter to the Romans there is a long section about it, but a more
prominent (although possibly not for that reason) segment is that called 'the Cermon of the Mount'.
Human beings are quite like that. You might get an idea of someone, then you start reading signals - and from the other
side - soon that person doesn't know what it could do without signalling something to the other persons interpretation.
While around some corner we might regard this 'sublime message' thing nice or good or exciting; It is obvious that if
such things happen, they happen within an environment where it doesn't lead to major drama. Thus it is clear that for the
common space the individual is to not rely on sending such signals, which in the flipside means that nobody will be falling
into some kind of love with signals that don't actually exist. However, there are exceptions nontheless.
Exceptions however don't make for clear statements. Thus, we get to rule #2.
- Rule #2: If you read between the lines, make the conclusion dependent on real life
- Thats how we arguably got to approach the Bible. Between the Lines we can read almost anything in there, but for once
not doing so leaves us with a hint of which version we have to take for granted, and thats the pivotal point: Permission
to take things for granted. If something doesn't fit or work out or match up, the problem might be on the own side or
on the other, who knows? Things are nontheless the way they are, and if you missed out on anything for being straight, then
well, it possibly was't worth it either!
We definitely have to follow our hunches. If we got into something and we're not sure, going for it is the only way to
be sure. At the very least we can satisfy our curiosity, stopping ourselves from being lost in the what ifs and thens
because then is then, and then will never be if we don't go for it. Yet it helps to see that shifting life into the
sub-conscious, the tricky to read, is a way of legitimizing torture, possibly even one of the worse kind.
The essential problem round about is friendship. There is what I call the confusing love of the next. It happens that once
two people get along well, and then all of a sudden there is nothing left to do or say, it gets awkward - yet the desire
to keep it up may then grow into something called Love. I'm not here to condemn that kind of Love, it is just so that it
is a step into ones intimate way of life, ones sexuality, and while friendship doesn't draw any boundaries between what
kind of a person one is - sexuality draws them, as sexuality does effectively exist within boundaries; Which further grow
more and more destinct the deeper we dig. Therefore the only logical advise in regards to a corresponding problem is to
re-invest the own mind-effort into focussing on the own sexuality as to find the own individual lines the separate you
from someone else. Therein you'll find comfort and essentially get closer to finding that person that makes things, or
"a thing" right.
A yet remaining problem is the one of hypothetical compatibility - or that which I advocate as general sexual compatibility.
This ties back into finding the right places though, for effectively does sexual compatibility not comply to the standards of
life. Here the advise is equally simple: Sexual compatibility only works in the right place and the right time! There also
are lots and lots that would happen to be sexually compatible and technically interested as much, thus, there is no real loss
in skipping out on one or two or so!
These are ways how real life concludes without any necessity to make any steps. Alternately rule #2 can say: 'Analyze everything',
as ironic paradox opposing Rule #1 - though the things that are to gain priority are always the things that are current and solid
and by the way not to be questioned.
- Rule #3: You expected ...
- uhm, whaaah, ... err ...
You expected a different kind of rules?
Well, how to not ... sound stupid right here? Well - uhm, I guess the best Rules are born from Social critique. I however don't
really believe in rule-sets at all. Rules, as in the example above, they resemble logical guidelines. Those are: It doesn't really
hurt to not follow them, kindof, and they only are there to save us from the consequences, ... bullshit explicitly excluded.
The thing is ... we might kindof get into the whole: "forbidden equals fun" thing, bitch, whore - and now thinking of it - the
Truth is still there, but, bullshit excluded! I mean, taken that rules are to be taken seriously we'd kinda sorta need rules for
everything that isn't inherantly safe and - that turns living into a cirquitry that mustn't be broken for obviously good reasons!
See, car driving, thats ... not inherantly safe! I mean, we need rules so people don't drive like crazy through densely populated
areas and rules for drunken teenagers to not drive like maniacs accross difficult terrain - ... but then, breaking rules is like
stretching out, like at work where you're really not supposed to be doing so because you've signed a contract to lend your time
and efforts to fulfill certain tasks to your and their benefit (indirectly (TM)).
Maybe I should be blunt. Else this is possibly not going to grow into a thriving joint-venture. So, spliff aside, the roll
is obviously that we shouldn't pretend we all act like monkey and apes when given a little bit of freedom. OK, maybe some will,
perhaps I would - though - I really live my share of freedom. I mean - life is good - sometimes, technically - it depends on how
you work it; And thats the actual green deal. You live - we all do - and its not like I need law-enforcement to understand the
point of a red light! But - then again - exceptions confirm the rule; And so do people that enjoy keeping law and order need
a law and order to keep up. And so there came beurocracy.
Beurocracy, once cute and innocent, did turn into a giant monster - matter of fact so huge and ginormous that there was no fun
anymore in voicing out a serious concern. So a man would say that the government should invest more into education, and the
monster in turn increased the amount of time a pupil of higher grades would actually have to quench the bench for a living that
would possibly not improve from there either. I'm talking of germany here. Going to school from 7:45 a.m. to 4 p.m. to then stay
at home learning until 6 p.m. - thats just ... sad! There people stand up yelling 'legalize it' - and the Monster - it builds a
bank for God knows what forsaken purpose! Or whatever - who the hell even knows?
So - of course we're happy once riots break loose, smoke running through the air, cars burning, traffic signs sticking out of
car windows ... thats ... just the way it is supposed to be!
We can analyze this behaviour by looking at another interesting mechanism: Cogs - as in a clockwork. You spin a cog into one
direction and the cog attached to it turns into the opposite. Let me tell you a true story out of my life: I recently moved
to another place, and ... this moving was tied to filling out forms, getting them checked and granted by a government institution,
but yet I got to fill another form to notify another agency that I'm required to be a member of by Law of my new location, then
I have to tell the bank and I still have to go to city hall. Thats like ... time of my life ... just passing away from filling
out forms I'm sure I've filled out the one or the other way - using the exact same data - before. Now, please make another
allegory using the terms zoo and rules!
And so this monster became ginormous and started to devour our world. In a modern age we then needed passwords and accounts,
signing up here, pushing a button there, being totally connected using one single e-mail address in dozens of different ways.
And so a second beast joined the first one, doing all the same crazy shit - and soon we became dependent on their mercy. And
so - is that how the story ends?
Rules that rule each other out that is. The Government agency started off as a thing, registering peoples physical identity,
but then there came the virtual reality, a virtual identity, and the world changed. Comming up with something super cool is
nowadays nothing about having a good and inspired idea - its about knowing the business. The Technology is there, we get
spammed by how awesome it is by all the things that it can do - yet over and over again we got to sit there with jaws dropped
staring at how much more complicated things are as opposed to how we pictured it would be. Cogs, ladies and gentlemen, cogs!
So, closing line, we don't really need rules - we need wisdom. The wisdom to understand that to all mysterious things in this
world there is a logical solution! Needless to say that these beasts are huge and scary as shit - and sorry if this is after
some point not remotely funny anymore! But so - enough hopelessness. We understand that a) the epic thing about Rules is the
virtue of breaking them; And that we therefore b) need no rules that tell us what not to do! I mean, kindof. Police is a different
subject though!
The point, to get the pot settled, is that rules are much better if they are lining out how something works. I mean - civilization
has ever grown through building roads, not fences. Fences are 'not-roads', and not-roads are what we have in forrests and jungles
and deserts - but if that weren't enough; Nowadays we got professional fence-hurdlers, you know, those imps (well, there possibly
are innocent victims in the chain of command that are being abused to perform evil deeds; Yea, sometimes they are called policemen)
that send you these letters telling you that there's a wall ahead so you turn left or right before its too late. Sounds like a good
thing, its like a traffic sign on a wide open willow though. I mean, what the fuck! I'm supposed to live in a civilized world, so
why can't it be civilized? At least? And, getting it started is actually too easy! We build a new hardware infrastructure and hand
out rubber ribbons with identity numbers which will be used to get people registered - if they want - and tied to that is all we
need: Identity, insurances, assets, keys, cloud storage, well - whatever! So that if I'd want to I'd link it to my pad/mobile-computer
and can be tracked at all time; So if you're paranoid you can lock your account to your accurate location! If you loose it you'll
just go to a tech-center and get your identity verified and the account will be rebooted. Period!
The ribbons would be symbolic, basically intended to spread the mood into poverty areas. For the time being we could simulate it
using the already present internet. We can start off like Google or facebook, just doing our thing and the more big fish that
joins in the more weight there'll be to it. As we therefore are offering service to a customer base we also hold responsibilities,
compliant to which we need to ensure the protection of the customers identity which breeds a system that is arguably identical to
that of our governments. Then we just need to have one of our guys running for president and boo-yah - K.O.!
To however not jump the gun there - that K.O. is just for the show. The actual real thing will be to get big brands, from agriculture
to clothing over entertainment to zoos and everything into our system. That system has the purpose of creating a new economy within
our economy. Instead of gambling with money we start moving resources. That is the basis of it all. In the start we may have to
rely on money - making it easier for employees to get what they worked for; But in the mean-time there can be a shared bulk of
resources running in the system without ever becomming currency. We got point A and point B - where A is the farm and B the mall -
where instead of letting farmers sell to butchers that sell to brands that sell to markets - we just pay the drivers that take
the meat from farm to butcher and the farmers and the butchers and the drivers to take the food to the mall, and the people working
in that mall. We can at some point then go on and create our own currency that more properly reflects the production value of a
product - and soon we'll all just and simply be buddies! We'll start getting big by rallying a global work force and many local
work forces; Construction workers that will be the primary users of the really big machines - well, just fancying around here -
and then we also need a better school system. In first place that ties into creating a better wiki, but also into forging the
esoteric rings around primary school - which is tied into the creation of "Seeds" - well - seeds of civilization used to plant
it wherever needed. School will also give birth to press - and press is our primary means of ... well ... looking at whats going
on! The press is our eyes - what they don't see doesn't effing exist! Kindof! Its a harmonic resonance thing. When society/civilization
expands, press will be there. Because its a public interest thing with its roots in schools, press will primarily cover the big
items of public interest. Expansion will also be a product of public interest. The only institutions that could really bypass that
are certain branches of the Military and LogEx. That is by the way a simple fact - it cannot be changed. To some point its a matter
of breaking the rules - like taking a Truck without checking in or out because, hey, got the keys! But that shouldn't bother us too
much because what matters in first place is what we might call the 'operating system' of it all - and essentially I argue that this
will be tied into 'Terminal Logistics'. Terminal Logistics is a branch of LogEx and is yet just that branch that would be in the
position to drive under the radar. Terminal and Gateway Logistics belong together. Terminal is like a "Nodes" (Big City/Canton)
Airport - it is through which stuff is moved on the global field. Gateway is the local thing, as for instance the local public
transportation, waste disposal and all stuff that uses vehecles of some sort to get things done on the local plane. Basically the
huge highways also connect to them. They are: The Gateways. Therefore each Terminal also has a Bridge - and a close relative
structure to the Terminal is the (local) I&S Headquarter - in which sense we get to the topic of police. I&S is a branch
of the Arch-Institution called 'Judgedom'. In essence the point is simple: "Judges" are entitled to make their own rules - naturally
that works out just fine considering that there is common sense. So Judges would say that there are speed limits; Wherefore there
then so are Speed Limits. I&S is however not about Judges but about Detectives. They are also Judges in some sense, but their
focus of interest isn't the maintenance of any Order but: 'Investigation' and 'Security'. They are there to help, to see into
things, to take care that everything is secure. That basically ties into the protection of sensitive locations - as for instance
the Management (Management is another of the Arch-7) facilities that store sensitive data. So, I&S essentially is police and
Judges are more like Highway Patrol - and they basically satisfy the next stage of escalation prior to military action being
required. The Military is good once lethal force is practically incircumventable. Yet, because Judgedom makes its own rules its
transparent. If we dislike something - they got to adapt. Between Parlament as court of public interest and Judgedom the primary
balance of law-enforcement is being conceived - thus - obviously - that would be the 'systematic weak spot'; Or 'the' conceivable
weak-spot outside of terrorism and collateral damages. Well, its a far way to go - nontheless - and so, for now, this is it
about rules.
But this is still work in progress ...
OK, OK - to be sure this doesn't take the wrong way ...
there is that, that, well ... that what and how and why and so. The point is: You are certainly encouraged to improve this; Whether
you understand yourself as one or many. I mean, its simple. There is a) a lot of time on our hand and once something really sucks
about it - well - it sucks! I mean, you wouldn't want it then, I wouldn't want it then - so - why the fuck would we have it?
We wouldn't - kindof! At least we shouldn't - actually! And thats the point. Yet ... it goes on! Somehow. But now - not here!
