The whole western world was a syncretizing of western european philosophical traditions on the basis of man and freedoms.

It was predicated on an association with a renewed revelation of space and plenty.

Ring any bells?

lets envision the role of technology.

I'm still wrestling with psychology, sorry to say. Man is the creature who does things like this. Redemption, forgiveness, and especially paradise seem to be precluded categorically. The redemption depended on the elite being able to give plenty when plenty wasn't quite so easy to reproduce. There are indications that even the 'good ones' are still incapable of that. It's leisure class economics, although unlike Veblen and Nietzsche, I do not limit this spiteful behavior strictly to the dolicocephalic blond type.

People tend to believe paradise to be a destination, a reward...a leisure activity.

When, in fact, it is a sisyphean task. You roll that rock until you disappear.

You must do to be.


In my ramblings I've defined good as being that which affects the most beings in a positive manner.

Listen. I have spent the past eight years working on a project for assholes that consumes all of my spare time and sunny days. I've now lost two of my best and oldest friends whom I used to have time to visit when I was not so employed. And who benefits? Strangers. Assholes. The usual beneficiaries of your 'positive manner.' Comfort would come from the statement 'there is no meaning' being allowed. It isn't. Rest and peace of mind would come from being allowed to quit and walk away. I'm not. There would have some sense of purpose in these beneficiaries doing anything other than sneering and holding their hand out. They never have, never do, and never will. They expect others to be their slaves.

There is no in-tension in the absence of a private, subjective space. People who pencil these things out don't actually care about others, but hire other people to. But they still write the plans, don't they? And these plans seem to fail as much as they succeed, for all the boxes that their goals may check.

IT. DOESN'T. MATTER. Nothing matters. None of the words you use has anything backing it. Nothing. They correspond to nothing, they justify nothing, they MEAN nothing. They are the attempted reification of the ideas of managers who envision people as 'units'. It took a lot of killing to get here, and they want to stay. It will likely end in a lot of death. My connections to human society are winking out one by one, and you don't know me enough to offer anything of actual worth. It's all philosophical to you, a thought-experiment and a problem to solve. This isn't a problem of outlook, sorry to say. Nothing you can fix. Wrongness and rightness have nothing to do with it. I've just grown to despise you and the way you conceptualize things, and the genuine shock you have that the objects of your uninvested charitable impulses do not appreciate it. It is probably the only genuine thing about you. Thanks for nothing.

Privacy and anonymity have everything to do with it. As do and does personal joy(s).

I fully realize that the heart of any and all actions is selfishness; As selfishness is that which we know beyond all other.

As such it becomes a motivating force...as we tend to yearn to be free of our myopia as it becomes a restrictive space and thus the carcereal you alluded to. It inevitably forces us to reach out or wilt under our own self imposed gravity.

Your rant doesnt address the fact that managers are the very middle men I named as being inefficiencies and energy leeches in the system.

The system very much does exist and is being instituted as we speak.


The only point being who and how it shall be instituted and run.
