What to do ... what to Do

The soup that we call society is boiled in a melting pot that really has the frogs croaking. The energy increase as the pressure builds is leading more people into dementia - an inability to cope with perceived reality. Social adhesion doesn't have a formal contract - the routine behaviors that we were taught are breaking down in the absence of respect for true value.

Each of us needs to feel important and our measurement yardstick has been the collection of stuff. We have been taught to keep up with the Joneses and that ignorance of the law is no excuse. We should respect our elders without them having the responsibility of earning our respect. The first person you have to respect is yourself, and if you can't do that - how can you respect anything else?

If you don't have your own self down - get grounded and look at your little picture. The big picture is so insane that we cannot make an impact at that scale. Yet our 'leaders' make more laws, issue new rules, spend money that is printed just for them to spend. Economically. it's over. Why even consider playing under those rules?

The new yardstick is ability. Hone your ability to do what you enjoy doing most and set yourself up in a position to do it. Learn to discriminate good information from the overload and develop confidence in your own ability to know. Encourage other people to question what you know and constantly gather new information that has bearing on your specific interest. Then start to teach it, while learning what others are teaching. Apply your exchange value toward helping others in your community become more effective at what they do. Ideas come from spending the time doing what you do - the hours spent thinking about how things work have real value that accrues as your personal knowledge base increases.

Our individual networks allow us to share our personal knowledge basis to build community through a diversity of approach to each challenge - try what you think will work and report back on how it worked and what you think the results mean. Share your data and approach and others will use is as a jumping off platform, a new foundation.

Western Civilization is broke and beyond a rational fix. Intellectual property is an imaginary joke - ideas have no ownership clause. Why must we form a business entity to take an action? Rule of law has become rule of force. Time has come to withdraw consent from all levels of authority beyond what we deal with on a personal level. If we treat new paradigm thinking as an emerging entity - the things of value will grow back while the things that take without giving will melt away. Let it all go. It's over - don't play their game. Use the virtual community worldwide to affect life at home and build the personal space that you wish to live in. It's all changing rapidly and the new way will fill the void when the old is washed away.
