I’m bad (Alphonse Daudet)

 

(not AI)

In front of the freshly dug grave of his lifelong friend, Chingachgook, Natty Bumppo said a sentence that is certainly the most important one of all humanity. 

This is the original epitaph, the end of it which will be our purpose here:

« …; and it may be said of him that his faults were those of the time and his virtues those of his nature. », which means, his qualities were his own and his wrongs that of his people.

At first, such a phrase seems innocuous but the grave on which it is written may be the only one on earth to support such a text ! Usually, one find as an epitaph a few words of hope to depict the good deeds of the deceased, an eulogy, a prayer, but never ever anything that describes what bad he might have been !

What Fenimore Cooper is saying through the voice of the Deerslayer, in The pioneer, is that a man can be a good man while doing wrongs at the same time during his life. But wait ! isn’t that the very situation everyone of us finds himself embroiled in without being able to overcome it most of the time ? Isn’t that the very feature that hinders humanity’s progress ?

So what ? We are good men ending up doing bad things ? We were great children ending up doing the worst ? The answer lies in one word: society. Society allows you to eat meat without having to kill, you can shit without having to dig a hole far away, society allows to live a borrowed life. You don’t depend on yourself anymore, on family, friends and neighbours, on human beings but on a system, an invisible system because it seems natural, it is unquestioned. And this comes with a price.

Being able to form societies gave our species the strength to become dominant but this ability carried a hidden weakness, an inherent defect that can, and has brought down human societies. In a society where there are butchers and plumbers, there also are bankers and robbers. Then, affluent people designate a sheriff to fight the outlaws in the name of all, followed quickly by the salesmen of pleasure together with the merchants of repentance. All of it forming the web of artificial thoughts, the sum of illusions we call society.

As a fish born in the ocean, we are immersed since birth in our local space time of the matrix with which we’ll have to deal with or to die because it is our water. In our childhood, we learn about every corner of the monster and we end up as adults having taken a stand into it, whatever it is. 

We are no more what we were as a child by fitting into the role we forcibly chose in society. Then, we find ourselves thinking, acting and feeling as someone else, our immanent properties having been overcome by the emergence of new ones fitting the group we live in, just like a molecule of water in a river has grabbed properties and moves that cannot be derived from the single original one.

That is how, despite being someone, we act as someone else, this is how we carry two faces of ourselves, this is how we can be good persons who perform wrongs. 

This was Michael Jackson’s message in his song « I’m bad », this is the story of Jack*, the hero of the extraordinary book of the same name by Alphonse Daudet !

nb: probably the most important text I wrote; it is worth a book, and many parts of it are under developed and documented. 

It is worth a book !

What I am saying here, every one of us has experienced it whatever the place and the time.

Maybe this text is one of the most essential, fundamental of all time !

(not kidding & without ill conceived pride whatsoever)

nb2: I have begun to write the first ten pages, beginning with freewill vs. determinism, of a book that would include what I just talked about & so much more, and, since I live on a mini-minimum, I’m not sure that I will have the strength to carry that on before I will just not be able to do that, being 67 at the time, so, if some guy would be interested and wealthy enough to support ???

Best, Succoth sameah !

How the human algorithm could win

 

The real trigger of 1789, the one that shook the apathy of ages was the convocation to the Estates-Generals on the 27 of April 1789, and not the event in itself, from which there was little hope, but the process that led to it.

The decision was announced on the 8 of august 1788, nearly a year before and officially proclaimed on the 24 of January 1789. This timeline gave the people nearly one year to prepare themselves, and that’s what they did !

(see: Ernest Daudet, Le roman d’une jeune fille, chapter5)

They opened « Clubs ». From the deep in the city suburbs to the tiniest village, read ‘Ange Pitou’ of Alexandre Dumas for example. In those clubs, they counted themselves, they raised questions, they set up agendas to reclaim their freedoms from the church, the king ands the nobility that for a thousand years took it all, and more, their honour to be free individuals.

Today, the church is the government and the noble the capitalist. Today, the situation is not that far away. We are decimated by endless wars of profit, be they for money or for power, which have the same results: violence and misery, sometimes on the front page but most often hidden behind the infinite desire to be seen as strong, able to cope with whatever ambush and profit too from the cake, no matter the collateral damages as seen specifically during the covid.

Today as in 1788, we have a goal, the same one, individual freedom. Socialo-communists are the church, Capitalo-republicans are the nobility and they ate both oppressing people on one form or another round the world. So, we need an agenda to counter the threat that is today global, we need to talk between us, people of good faith, and, yes, despite the apparences, we are a lot !

In the end, we must call for an

« Estates-Generals of Humanity »

As I said, the event in itself is not the goal but the trigger for getting people together, for us to step out apathy, to assemble and raise the never solved existential problems of humanity in order to solve them with both hands once and for all.

The event would just be the middle of a process to make humanity great, not again but for the first time !

Instead of being the nest of happiness, society is its destroyer. Why ? What are its fundamental flaws and which are the ways to fix them ?

Perhaps the most important flaw is that profit is a possible goal to reach in one’s life. It is not. Society is not for individuals to be able to profit from it and within it.

We don’t know how life appeared but we know what is its natural goal: family thriving and rejoicing together with all sorts of life. And that’s not just walking the dog alone in enclosed properties.

Then we have violence as a mean to reach one’s goal, and on a collective level, war.

And poverty (related in part to land property, see Henry Georges) and water, and so much more topics that have never been addressed with a genuine will to solve them, in one word, sharing the world honestly and happily. 

The second part of such a agenda should be to devise how to replace the current for profit/for power structures. The capitalist/socialo-communist machine must be deconstructed. Instead of the never ending top down governance system, a local accountable grid of decision making should be created.

You may say that’s utopia ? Well, it depends ! Today, with the social networks, and seeing comments, it appears that many many more people are concerned who do not show it otherwise in daily life. Sometimes, a small thing can bring about huge effects !!!

Last point, I think such an event should have one representation in every group of nations linked by similar conditions, likely 2 for Africa, north and south, same for America and Asia (east/west), 1 for Europe and 1 for oceania, that’s 8. A central point of these representation could be set up right under Massada where people of the time sacrificed themselves not to become slaves of the Romans.

Darwin’s law applies well & only to humanity

 

Survival of the fittest is fitting only us, humans, because every existing creature is fit … except ourselves !

When some living forms disappear, they are not replaced by the surviving ones but by new ones. As proved by many like Anne Dambricourt, mutations are not the driver of evolution but qualitative jumps where new species arise.

… « traders are the most mutated human presently » (Rupert Sheldrake at 39:52 in ‘Presentiment: waking before alarms’ on YouTube).

Nature does not like emptiness. it explores the maximum ways possible.

Man satisfies himself with fitting in the rat race by any mutation possible including the Johnny Walker ones.

One don’t find in the wild any pig, dog or cat in their domesticated forms, These breeds have been selected for millennium by natural evolution processes but, what to say about man ???

Man has auto-selected himself the most, man is doing this very adaptation process all the time since he appeared as a distinctive species, for tens of thousands years. His tool for doing so is the natural ability of life  to adapt coupled with his reasoning power that multiply it by a huge amount. 

What similarities are there between an anglican clergyman and a peruvian chaman ?

When you speak of evolution, turn to mankind and nothing else !

The great dissolving

 

Along history of mankind, just like in history of space, there is a principle that at the end will hit both hard, expansion. In the case of space, which can expand itself infinitely, the upcoming is clear. 

For humanity, this expansion can be defined by the accumulation of knowledge and the multiplication of specific patterns, habits, local uses, customs. At a time not so far away, most of theses specificities were crafted upon nature. But since a hundred years or so, knowledges and customs have been shaped by both technology and globalisation. 

There has been of late an infinite diversification and accumulation of thinkings which are taking humanity’s unity to a low that it has never experienced. Knowledge  and customs are not only expanding & diversifying, they are accumulating like a tower of Babel and, in the process, every singular part of it sees its intensity, its originality, its meaning fading, diluting itself, shrinking in an ocean of possibilities leading to a generational distrust of everything and so much more.

While the field of possibilities becomes infinite, each of them loses its essence, its significance, its purport. Matter of life vanishes. Left or right takes to the same point. The end result being that no one is anymore interested in the other because the other has become the same empty soul as ours. 

If you are a neo Hare-Krishna living in the woodlands near Gainesville, FL, or an Eskimo from Ikamiuk, a Thai or a Bolivian, you are now filled with the same global stuff made of fake reality with different local colours, illusions of the past embodied in the new age vibe. Just as Fenimore Cooper recorded, the ‘civilised Indians’ just added the Indians’ sins to the Whites ones …

Light takes time but darkness is immediate.

Because of the current availability of an infinity of knowledges, knowledge itself is evaporating and is replaced by ignorance which is darkness ! The individual impulse is submerged by an ocean of collective memes, of myths. Being rich or smart does not help because the pool is drying, faster and faster. True knowledge has become as invisible and irrecoverable as galaxies vanishing away.

I didn’t talk neither of AI or forced migration patterns which can be viewed as adding a lot of dissolving on different levels because I don’t believe that they influence it as much as what I said.

…

You have learned to be a good citizen, a good worker, you have a flag and a skill, what else should you need ? Don’t worry, be happy.

Points for a change

 

We, men, women and children of the world declare:

1. We need no Nation-States, no governments, no borders, no flags.

Nations are used to coerce, to wage wars, to foment oppression.

Instead, regional bodies would be the solution.

No nations means no wars. Army should be used to eradicate the militias that remain before being cancelled 

. 

( read as an example ‘Vote harder from the Mises inst.)

2. Land property should be abolished, either for individuals or collective bodies.

Housing would instantly become much cheaper, rent or buy.

(read Henry Georges)

3. Family life should be the goal of social life. Small towns should be created with small family homes in order to reduce the burden of big cities and megalopolises.

4. Education should be revised. 

5. Simplify life. There is too much of fake things to do today. Next to family life. life itself should be refocused on its core value, love, friendship, sympathy, nature, that is, life itself. There are too many fake interests in life !!

6. Humanity must get rid of that dreadful desire of wanting masters to lead itself. We need no masters, no more than states. 

« Je ne veut pour maître que l’heure du moment »

Pardaillan, Michel Zevaco

7. Children in the west, and elsewhere must be reconnected with the reality that they must help their parents, the elderly, provided that this doesn’t hurt them in doing so but that this attitude brings them sparks 

of wisdom.

You know, life is not a game where everyone can bet all he has on his own cards ! Honouring life is a duty and a reward all together.

We are dependent upon one another and this is not a fate but a blessing. 

We all progress together … or we don’t !! And this process begins at home, in families nests !

We are not free but the bond is not between us and the state, the group or the religion but the family, the inner circle that will spread through the ages, for good or for bad. Families are the roots of society and children are its flowers.

Don’t never ever die for a flag but live for your family !!!

8. We must reduce at all costs the technocratic footprint that engulfs humanity and that has become a generational catastrophe, return to a life near nature because, not the coastlines are eroding but the souls !!

9. We must stop thinking that material or technological progress is humanity’s progress !!

10. Last but not least, forbid interest on all money lending.

About poverty being intentionally driven by some people through inflating assets value, whatever the asset should it be added, read that !
