Disperse you Rebels

   Mankind by his very nature is a lobo animal, but is always seeking a perceived advantage in his/her life and living conditions. Once he came to the realization that in hunting gathering, mating and security there were advantages too be had, so he started civilizations or tribes as it were above and beyond the blood line of immediate families. But for civilization to grow and prosper required a strong individual or group to keep it even a little bit secure for its entire membership. This means each citizen had to surrender some parts of their individual sovereignty to the ruling entity or monarch.  

   For many centuries this system for growth was a hardship akin to slavery and in fact sometimes was outright slavery and during those times the ruling class found the power of human control addicting, and abused the authority vested in them to the extreme suffrages of the masses. To keep an edge the ruling class engaged the masses in war after war to expand their power and keep any challenges to their authority at bay with brute force.

   Flash forward to the human migration to America were only many small tribes occupied the land and a variety of exploring armies from around the globe sought to make claims to the land.

   The first who came to actually settle here and make a new home in America held no loyalty or respect for the tyrants or nations they fled and all they wanted was to be sovereign individuals again free men/women, like it was in mankind’s beginnings.

   By 1840 69% of America’s population were farmer’s, still sovereign people as per the end of the revolution against Great Britain and in accordance with our Declaration of Independence and Constitution.  By 1900 only 38% were farmers due to the industrial revolution. By 1950 12% and by 1990 2.6%  

   By farmers today, we are really talking about people that live in a dispersed rural setting, where many live in the suburbs but travel to the cities and towns for their employment. Which condition opens the door to the power manipulators in the metropolitan areas becoming despotic and the making of laws and ordinances that go against all the very principals of our founding that spurred us to greatness as a nation in the first place. This dependence on elite government officials takes men/women of the masses back in time by a thousand years of individual development and in our civil intercourse. In plain language a return to the slave mentality that kept mankind from moving forward until America burst onto the scene from our history showing sovereignty of mind is equally as important to mankind as physical sovereignty and that mankind needs both to reach his/her fullest potential.

   If we; that are humanity in general, wish to continue the forward growth to which America has shown in the past is our destiny, we need a new technological revolution akin to the industrial one of the past. We can call it whatever we chose, the communications revolution or digital revolution or what ever, but it holds the modern equivalent of a new improved revolution for human progress. To avoid a retrograde condition for men/women as individuals it would logically require a dilution of authority over them, this authority cannot be diluted in the current compact hovels of large towns and cities and the human nature of man within them, without thinning the herd so to speak..

   For example; if a large city made an ordinance or law that forbid residency to all those whose physical presence is not critical to their employment more than half would have to take up residence outside its geographically established boundaries. The savings to the city in transportation, energy use, police etc. alone would be monumental thus requiring a much reduce need of that cities resources, leading to a reduction in the governance of it. The follow on conditions would then stand to reason that businesses, that cannot not show the necessity of being located within the boundaries likewise forced to relocate to a less densely crowded place. With the advantages of modern technology dispersing the hovels of large cities and towns of people would in every instance be cost effect and free people from the élite power grabbers, giving them back their individual sovereignty while at the same time forcing the thousands of civil freeloaders to become personally responsible.

   Collectivism of all its varying degrees at one time or another had its advantages and man needs to recognize when it becomes counter productive to his/her individual growth. America could very well be the innovator for its own progress and lead the world anew, by example. I’ll leave the specific details on how to reverse the effects of the industrial revolution that has compacted people in such unnatural conditions to better minds than mine but remember you heard it from me first.

   How do you keep them in the hovels of cities once they’ve seen freedom and sovereignty?

Critical Thinking

   The skill of “critical thinking” what is it and how does one acquire it or is it just something that really smart people can develop? Ever since I first heard the Phrase coined “critical Thinking” and that modern day students are not being taught this important skill, made me wonder what it is and how do they know what critical thinking is, being as most of them were taught the same way the students are taught today. Possible it’s, they that have this deficit and it’s their ego expressing feelings of superiority.

   So I decided to do some critical thinking on the subject of “critical thinking”. How many different kinds of thinking are there; shallow thinking, reactive thinking, concentrative thinking, imaginative thinking, subjective thinking, objective thinking and the grand master non thinking. I’m sure I missed a few like introverted or extraverted but maybe I’m being too critical in my thinking. But adding it all up tends to make me think we didn’t need to add to such a list by adding the phrase “critical thinking” to it, couldn’t we just get along with one of the older descriptives of thinking.

   Then I decided that what is needed instead of addition to a long list of how we think, maybe what we need to do is synthesize the list for simplicity. This ultimately led me to think that there are only two kinds of thinking, subjective and objective of which I think they are trying to coin a substitute for objective thinking in a more modern vernacular because they don’t think that all of us that lack the skill of critical thinking know what objective thinking is, “it’s critical thinking you egotistical maniacs”!

   Now that I did all that critical thinking on critical thinking brings us to the point they are trying to make, and they are right we no longer teach students the skill of objective thought and its because academia no longer trains teachers in objective thinking they only teach them in the art of propaganda to produce monolithic zombies for the great world wide social collective that dances in their heads.

   The bottom line in my rant is this; only slaves and chattel of the human mind fall or sucker for their propaganda, the rest of society developed “critical thinking” on our own dime thank you, in spite of academia.
