future as now, now is was

behold all about you. Always be on your guard; one requires intelligence to defeat violence. Inbetween fights perhaps enjoy the world about you, maybe learn about the other parts that you will become one with when you pass on from this form?

hmmm?

ah well. if all you heard was "behold" then at least you're better off than someone not even paying attention. If you didn't hear anything at all then i ask that you forget who i am and pretend that the next moment we meet we are strangers meeting for the first time.

and the first thing you learn about me, perhaps sense about me, is that i would rather get along with every other human. Remember that that is like a core piece of me, a central pillar, a foundation stone, whatever. Team building and leading. whatever you want to call it. Its what i live for; and part of who i am. K's? Sometimes i would like to be a king, as the greatest servant to a group of people by being looked to for guidance. Other times i would like to be the gloved hand nobody sees, working the backs alleys and keeping the world in order. All of that stuff is all based on the same inner note. Whatever it is. I just want people to get along and be able to live my life knowing that humans are a huge team of progressively growing beings. Whether we have to wait to evolve or wait for technology to catch up to the greater obstacles of mortality isn't up to me. I just want people to get along. Play. But keep fighting in the ring.


For whatever reason why, whether narcissism or unconditional love, i wish other people just had some base desire to get along, and were aware that other people wanted to get along with them too. Like we are all on some big team; other human beings could be thought of as reliable team-mates anytime you saw one.

getting the redundant picture now? ok good im sick of repeating myself.

so before i let that daydream get to far, some people just aren't in the mood to get along with other people, or get pushed to far for whatever reason at the time. But even regular people have limits taught to them since they were kids they won't cross. It doesn't really matter what it is, it will get carried into adult hood if its held strict for a long enough time. So what if we just took a generation and taught them to get along? Dogs that barked at eachother would still move along. If it was default to just avoid other people when they were hostile, instead of pushing it further, or if some level of general affection were involved. I still think that if people thought of eachother in the sense we attribute to "Family" now, we'd be fine. Siblings spat. But they let it pass for the most part. People do better individually if they are doing better as a whole. If they are commited to the idea of a whole. People know they need other people, and i don't know of any natural inclination to burn bridges in people. You might have to ask that person for help one day. They might need yours.

it wouldn't stop all human on human violence, but im sure it would curb it. I still think it would have to start with a group of children. where to get all these children and the resources to raise them all into a thriving group of teachers ready to take on huge loads of humans themselves to spread the society.

a large cell of a society, not with a "ruler" but with organization. There's a guild of other people already doing what you want to do, and its full of people that rock at it and suck at it. Thats the idea. Just go live there with them. Organization helps people relocate and stay properly networked and connected. They are not a police force. They are the Delivery People. mailninjas for the most part. They sort requests and send them to the proper sources, and logisticize the fulfillment of the requests. They are travel. Mercuries all. But thats just their group. A group for everything, and everybody i've ever known would be happier just being allowed to do what they wanted to do and not have to worry about made up bullshit like "pay" and "taxes". Life is Bounty and we should be living in a society where everybody gets their share. Life is "Hey! Welcome to this world! There is stuff EVERYWHERE so what do you wanna do?" Buildings would be places one stayed in for longer perionds of time, like schools and houses. Guild headquarters. Stores?

The idea of a specialized place to get some kind of whatever it was you were looking for; a store but you didn't pay for it, you asked for it and got put on a list. it would be ready at some point? If people got used to just wanting what they needed, not wanting things for some kind of fulfillment from Having just to Have, thats like usury of the self. Or something? Its like you're just stalling someone else who needs whatever it is collecting dust in your closet.

Unless you just established a freecycle program for everything, integrating it into the request fulfillment process. If you stop sending things out, you stop getting things in. Perhaps value could be assigned? Or just weight? weight and complexity? fraglility or durability? whatever. I don't think complicating it is a good idea. Just keep things in circulation, it would help network and solidify peoples relationships and attitudes about other humans.

this group of people, if i joins them, i gets access to a universal treasure trove of everything i could want or use! No room to be greedy, anyone who tries to become a blackhole stops getting supplies til they send stuff out or perhaps get inspected for doing exchanges without registering? Hmmm stuff tracking....that wouldn't work. Maybe just make it so stuff was like money and the barter system was just centralized. Don't lose your shit or do something to get something so you can get back into the flow. What about places to live? Well people who applied at a guild would be found housing, somewhere, from a room to a house i guess. Not everything or everywhere is equal. So fulfillment from perceived value would have to be nonexistent somehow taught out. life is about getting to do what you want not wealth? So what about people that want to go live out in farmland? Guess there's room for it. Has to be room for everything.

so back to the freecycle bit, if everyone treated EVERYTHING like that, just with the influx of manufacturing as wasn't wasteful of planetary scale resources. Theres plenty of room for everyone to at least have their own apartment. People need a minimum of space, and as a human we should all have privacy allowed to eachother. We all want it at some point or another. The local workers guild would have all the people willing to work to get a place of their own if they don't have one yet. workers guilds would be all construction anything congealed into one organized mass of local groups that could plan and communicate with other neighboring groups for whatever building was going to be built next. There is no question of budget. There is "what materials do we have" and "where are they going?" no prices on anything. Simply plans, materials needed, projects being worked on and finished projects. All the jobs are already setup. Efficiency would be immediately imported into all facets of society; people in a group will realized that the most efficient way has the least amount of work for the max amount of gain. Individuals will have less work to do in their guilds, and more time for whatever it is they want to be doing since people always seem to want to be doing something else.

anywho, so that would take care of stuff and things people can do. With proper orgaization food is taken care of for everyone as well. Everyone has an allotment of hours say per month to put in at the local whatever robot food farm. divided amongst a populace the amount of work is so minimal that it would be nothing for any one person to take into their schedule. And you can split up your hours to whatever you want or get them all out of the way. Actual amount of hours would depend on how the food growing is going. Seasons? Whatever affects an efficient food resource.


so a group of humans that acted like this, almost utopian but by taking their darkside into account and accepting it as well, is something i woud imagine other humans would want to partake in. We wouldn't be fighting other choices, only growing as people joined. People brought up to respect other points of view would be the basis of getting along with other people. Different points of view would be like frosting on the cake! a bonus! The zest of life as some would put it. What you looked forward to learning about someone new. Instead of dreading.

hmmm, there are still people that want to fuck shit up sometimes. So we can't pretend they don't exist either. How do deal with them? What are the most popular ways?

hmmm seems to be quite a large point of contention in the human community. how to deal with other people that just want to fuck shit up.


People seem open to some kind of superstition, like its a necessary part of their life . So what if we fill that with some take on luck? like "shit i got robbed! i'm gonna get like a ferrari tommorow!" or whatever? like a way of dealing those shitfuckeruppers by just lettin git pass and waiting for the shitrestorers to drop by with that ferrari or whatever. Like being a superhero or a professional menace also had a guild. yeah!! like, that would totally keep most of the bullies, assholes, paladins and pariahs busy with eachother and out of other's peoples hair. If most people were getting along anyways there wouldn't be much to it other than flair and numbers. people that did it for fun, im sure theres just as much fun in doing nice stuff as it is being a jerk.

so superstition based on luck would have a real live representation in the superhero/villain guilds. you could apply i guess for vengeance or protection or whatever, live in a community that was watched by the local hero/warriors guild. I mean seriously. if its that much of a part of society that we fuck with eachother so much than we might as well not fight it and just let it be part of our society. I think that by getting people to get along and see every other human as family would counter most tendencies to backlash. If you were taught to think of yourself as like a god, and so was everyone else. you were a god, you were a being in this world that shaped things to your will. but so could everybody else. So this group of people over here, if it wasn't everybody, figured that the best and happiest thing for everyone was to just get along and accept that people are going to bother other people sometimes and just get past it. Don't take deep offense.

how to teach a person to not take offense.

i mean there are going to be humans that hate this idea and not part of the group at all. Like imagine if this idea of organized society was like the size of a large island in the pacific, it'd be in a world with america in it. And there are people who will and probably could infilitrate it and kill people. but if there were no ringleaders and it was just an organized group, it could never be stopped without massive effort. I hope other countries decide to make war on a collection of what would be pretty much highly skilled happy humans. Sounds like making war on a marching band or something.


i think that the average human actually has a large and strong personal confidence, but that living in todays society and world is enough to have it driven from you. In a different place, in a place where everyone pretty much got along and the point of breathing was so you could enjoy and accomplish. Not to be punished for breathing or guilted for it.


discordian is the way to understand how things can be disorganizedly organized.

i think a society full of people with no blinders will be able to act much more fluidly. aware of their own capacity for light and darkness, or whatever you want to call the ends of the spectrum. Aware of their own capacity. Thats all. not to be judemental or better or worse. life is to be aware of ones self, and that everyone can be pretty much be whatever they want, and you might as well because you will always be something while you are breathing.


i think this idea can be sewn and it will have to be nurtured until its growing on its own in this world. That seems to be how things go. I don't thing everyone on earth will just up and forgive eachother for everything up til now and start living this way. Too many people (any) might have been warped and not want to give up chewing on their wounds. So the idea is just to have to outlive all those people until it can at least sustain itself. Not all humans will probably live this way, i mean at what point in time did all humans ever do anything? We've only ever been in groups sofar and have only recently become so interconnected.

That might be all it takes. or we could just get more and more rash with eachother as we get overcrowded and it might reduce our population way too much. or maybe we didn't make it through this age on earth and doomsday is right around the corner again, this time 2012 or whatever the doomsayers are talking about lately. there's always the next apocalypse. lol.

i'd rather there be a golden age soon, somewhere. I would invite ALL musicians to start with, start a group of musicians who also did other things and have that be a centralized idea. then just grow from that island of Muse.
