5/13/16 - Many people believe that an organized conspiracy is being carried out in modern America, in some form or another, because it is so apparent that these or those people are up to something. Sometimes we can truly pinpoint exactly what's going on, but no one can bring anyone to justice. The question is, how often is there actually a declared conspiracy amongst individuals; or, is there another culprit that evades it's trials over and over - an implied conspiracy imbedded in the thought behavior of individuals who lived in this culture and adopted its dreams and process of living circumstance. Is the real conspiracy that the "normal" and acceptable thing to do is insidious and prone to devious outcomes? Have we only generated a vehicle which individual conspirators, generally with no declared colleagues, can drive to achieve "success" - the ideology and culture acting as a malleable conspiracy? Is the human mind prone to conspiracy for its insidious nature, and being given an opportunity in a concept, such as capitalistic enterprise, to really manifest itself in all its glory. That given, the success of some individuals is far less insidious or harmful than others. Some businesses are successful and can be commended for their positive influence on individual lives, and stand as exemplar entities. I have good feelings for some businesses - I feel they improved my life. Others, I feel have taken things away from me, like phantom thieves and liars that can't be tackled down. What sort of principles of conduct must be set out to achieve benign capitalism? And how can such exemplar entities be brought, in fairness, to the rest of the world? The problem of bad or insidious business is fundamental in the culture. It is rooted in individual devious that is often endorsed by parents and other peer examples, generating adults who are driven by their prospect of success on this pretense. Many bad ideas run rampant - "Life is a game, with winners and losers, and your goal is to control people and things." This is done in retaliation to having been controlled in this way yourself by your predecessors. Though the individual does not have to respond this way, the strong tendency is that they do. A game, a war, a strife for success and excellence. All done having had absorbed an abundance of floating hatred. Will you join in the pre-existing conspiracy of bad people (like all the bad people that mom and dad warned you about), or stand up to a degenerating culture and be the, truly avant garde, good person? More coming soon on what makes bad people such a strong force, and what truly defines "good people" ;) |
