: : : : : : http://secretcodes.org/problem.html : : : Irrationality and dishonesty as the source of problems of today's society : : : Looking at today's society, it may seem very complex, consisting : : : of all kinds of influences, traditions and beliefs. Seeing our : : : civilization from an objective viewpoint, however, reveals : : : problems exist in every aspect of our civilization. By applying : : : objectivity and scientific knowledge, one can understand the : : : cause of this state of being. : : : To understand our current civilization, it is crucial to : : : understand how it originally started. Obviously, man is a result : : : of the biological evolution process. Prehistorical humans existed : : : for more than ten thousand years as extremely intelligent : : : animals. Because of their complex brain structure, they could : : : develop languages for detailed information exchange, and : : : coordination of their efforts. Therefore, they were able to form : : : great prehistorical civilizations such as ancient egypt or the : : : sumerian empire. However, there was a fundamental difference in : : : their way of thinking to that of the modern man. They functioned : : : automatical, reacting to the environment they perceived, without : : : an own sense of future or introspection - without what we call : : : self-determining, free-will consciousness. Their brain functioned : : : in a mode that perceived sensual input automatically in one half : : : of the brain, and ped this information on to the other half, : : : where reactions were determined based on previous perceptual : : : experience and the biological needs of the organism, whose : : : primary objective is survival. Man perceived those reactions as : : : hallucinated voices, and followed these commands, perceived as : : : "spoken", as ultimate authority and guidance system. The : : : civilizations that were constructed by prehistorical men : : : continued to advance and grow more and more complex. : : : Additionally, problems such as overpopulation and peoples : : : travelling because of survival needs were imminent. Around 1000 : : : B.C., prehistorical civilizations were in a crisis because of : : : their growth that they barely could handle. Also, more peoples : : : mixed, as well as their traditions and survival methods, and the : : : guidance systems eventually became too complex and : : : self-contradictory as survival pressures tended to increase. In : : : this environment, people individually began to invent a new form : : : of thinking process - consciousness. Consciousness is an : : : organization of thinking that allows introspection, planning, : : : abstraction and conceptualization. While still perceiving : : : surroundings automatically, with this high-level kind of : : : thinking, the commanding part of the brain is able to form : : : ociations of logically and symbolically related experiences : : : and understand knowledge by integrating it in a wider scope. This : : : process enabled man to make own decisions, based on acting upon : : : selective knowledge and experiences, which can ultimately form : : : ones individual judgments and principles for acting in any given : : : situation. : : : Only with consciousness it is that human beings could survive for : : : long in a constantly changing, complex civilization. Only with : : : consciousness, men's actions can be physically unpredictable : : : unlike any other natural and biological phenomenon. The : : : conscious, self-judging, self-deciding mind is yet the only known : : : force in existence that can exert volitional control over : : : existence, and override the defaults of naturally occurring : : : physiological / biological phenomenons in existence. : : : However, the other side of consciousness is that it enables the : : : individual to do anything possible that it can conceive and that : : : lies within the universal laws of physics. Therefore, only the : : : conscious individual can chose to act good or bad, and be : : : responsible for its actions. Now for the actual question about : : : the source of problems in our society: consciousness means not to : : : have the ability not to chose. Once an individual develops the : : : conscious mind, its actions will always be based on the choices : : : it makes - implicitly or explicitly. Unlike the unconscious man, : : : and the animal, which reacts automatically according to their : : : biological needs and survival pressures, conscious man must chose : : : to exert the effort to satisfy his needs, solve his problems, and : : : act according to his conscious nature. Not to chose becomes a : : : deception that actually is the decision to default to the most : : : easy choice in the short-term, which can be escape of : : : responsibility and "escape" from reality through dishonest : : : self-deception and irrationality (mysticism). Not explicitly : : : chosing to make the efforts required for a satisfying life can : : : leave the conscious individual with chosing laziness, : : : manipulation of others and destruction. : : : Most of the problems in our civilization - as well as the state : : : of todays civilization itself - are a result of conscious human : : : beings limited by their own irrational and dishonest minds : : : resulting from a society that forcibly drags each and everyone : : : into their destructive state of being, steadily trying to evade : : : reality and self-responsibility. The main reason that all : : : conscious people default to this kind of life is that opinions : : : and majorities in civilization are controlled by a few : : : high-ranked manipulators, who have learned that the mind is : : : susceptible to authority and propagate themselves as authorities : : : - in subtle and indirect ways - that replace the real authority : : : of every humans own consciousness and self-judgment. These : : : manipulators have existed since Plato (who suggested that there : : : was no objective reality independent from what anyone thinks or : : : feels - and who suggested that men are evil by nature and : : : therefore need to be controlled by the state - and therefore lay : : : the foundation for justifications and rationalizations used by : : : manipulating elites throughout history). : : : These background manipulators form a social structure of people : : : ruling directly or indirectly over others by force or fraudulent : : : deceptions, based on rationalization that they are doing : : : something good and necessary by exerting their control - based on : : : feeding them a distorted picture of reality and supporting : : : already existing irrational views that help their goals. They : : : come in form of politicians, bureaucrats working in institutions : : : that regulate and suppress whole societies, traditionalists : : : supporting destructive old "moral values", most of the mainstream : : : media, religious leaders that promote the belief in irrational : : : God-authorities, government "entrepreneurs", many judges and : : : lawyers, many university professors, and political lobbyists, to : : : name a few. Anything that supports general irrational beliefs and : : : present repressive systems and is ideally ociated with the : : : state is ideal for manipulating the mes. And if one identifies : : : some of those manipulators and rejects them - they are still : : : surrounded by a society that is constantly fed with : : : irrationality, and creates itself problems with relationships, : : : esoteric beliefs, unhealthiness through drugs and addictive-like, : : : unhealthy food, scepticism, disinformation, etc. Not necessarily : : : everyone practicing dishonesty and irrationality manipulates : : : others. There are mystics, which due to constant exposure to : : : irrationality and mysticism will try to evade reality - they are : : : products, victims perhaps, of aggressive ongoing manipulation : : : that drains their self-control and effective understanding of : : : reality. For the gain of a minority of smart people who learned : : : to live by draining and utilizing others, everyone in our : : : civilization is being aggressively manipulated - to be : : : conformant to a virtual "majority", and to perceive and act after : : : belief systems that are subconsciously perceived as : : : unquestionable "authority" - resulting in an un-natural state of : : : being in which the individual sucbs to neurosis, destructive : : : habits and laziness, because of not being able to see the "big : : : picture" - reality in its full context. : I just wanted to say that you made a very good point in this article. Chivalry is dead today.
