Gaian Ego of Peoples

When the tables are turned and the thinkers have to go back to their thoughts, not everybody is at a loss for where to step next. Landmines and doggie poop litter the roadway, but cognitive thinking allows footsteps to be placed in the proper holes to allow the clear seeing few a pathway through the field. Mike Rozeff is one of those thinkers, who went back to the table last time and thought through some of the problems that we are facing this time. Here are a few suggestions for where to begin.

There are always alternatives. There will be change in our political situation. It is only a matter of what that change shall be. We are not powerless to influence it whatsoever. Patient and steady effort is required.

There are many correct and simultaneous modes of attack on the problem of the state. They involve decisions and knowledge at many levels and encompassing many individuals and social groups. In other words, no one of us knows "The Answer."

Here in The Zone, networking and affirming jurisdiction seem to be two crucial issues toward building a local based society that is tethered into the gaian ego of peoples. By networking - i mean making sure advances cross rapidly through space to get to people in ways that help them compete in the tasks we attempt to complete. Since the game is not winner take all, the competitions should have a technological transfer component that helps local people apply new technology to the local challenge of their own economy. Keeping people aware enough of what is going on can be done through formal networking with some organizational structure. That structure is built in service to the people and may have many local tap ins for people who have something to connect to. Sort of like 30 baseball teams reporting to the commissioners office. People compete in events of local, regional and continental levels - representing individual common interests, then informally cooperate at the social event associated with the games.

Affirming jurisdiction will be a tougher nut to crack. Right now, there is total order and the new order that erupts from chaos should have nothing to do with the compulsive mechanisms of the current order. Application of jurisdiction currently is a given - the state feels it can do anything to you at all, and you can keep paying your taxes or the will use their guns. The is no 'no vote' for the election and no manner to verify the election as legitimate under the current circus. I feel that only i have jurisdiction over myself, but in the baseball analogy - i have to play for a team. The competitions for individuals have to lead to access to information through some perspective - Einstein had to invoke the outside observer to explain relativity.

The system of politics currently used favors special interests, so the new system ought to favor any interest - if you put in the time to pursue the interest, you get connected to other people that have spent equivalent time/space units. There can be multipliers and dividents - product and counterproductive work efforts - but the games of competition have to be regulated fairly and evenly. The governance form which holds jurisdiction has employees that are the umpires on the field - seeing that the playing field remains equally rocky for all participants yet appropriated evenly.
