I wrote all that and then put it in the wrong place. LOL callchet (186 posts) Wed Jan-07-09 09:35 AM Response to Reply #7 12. Recorded history of any type The possibility of a solution implies that what we are experiencing is a problem But what if this is not a problem, but rather a predicament?
What if human activity for the last 10,000 years has been an entropic function? How do we "solve" entropy?
We can respond to it, of course. Solve it? Maybe not...
Recorded history of any type indicates a pattern in human activity. A leader emerges and promotes a course of action that is self interested. The
masses are led by the leader sometimes further past the benefit of the masses than logic understands. But under scrutiny I think that mass reaction
is not a reaction but tolerance. I think that in general the action of the masses appears to co-operation when in fact it is just existence in
their own sphere. The overall appearance is masses led by a leader when in fact it is opportunist availing of a position. For example the generally
perceived English adoration for the Royals is much like the a parent that is proud of, adoring and wishing the best for an offspring. Suffering
both returned adoration and desirableness from the child. Suffering to incomprehensible extremes. Until sometimes a new influence is introduced to
change the pattern. Diverging, but supporting I call attention to the popularity of " Life Styles of The Rich and Famous " and " My Super Sweet
Sixteen" in the USA. So I would agree that there is no problem because that is just how things happen. But I would suggest that there is not disorder
but in fact well defined order and patterns that are taken advantage of by a few deviants. And that another few deviants want to redirect. And that
another few want to redirect again. It in finality calls attention to the fact that it cannot be accepted that there is no solution but constant
changes. The dilemma is in setting boundaries and then trying to work within those boundaries. Nothing is linear. Much the same way that we deny that
the benefits of the clean air movement have caused death, misery and pollution. Much the same way we are willing to sacrifice the few for the many.
So we are looking for temporary relief. So check this out. When Oprah gains weight do we realize that it is not the function of another helping of
Mac and Cheese. Can you imagine the delectable treats that she has to turn down on a daily basis presented to her by a Chef that is ever working to
preserve and justify his job. It is all in what perspective you chose to encompass.
