How to exploit:

My simple sauce social engineering recipe for cooking up empires, and eventually serving up a monopolized administerable unit of unipolar global empire is based on trickery.

Fully human:

A possible recepe of heroic imagination, a recipe of the opposite kind of civilization, a family of humanity, multipolar civilized humanity, seems to be based on truth.

Weird huh.

Lluvias,

I don't know. Fact is I don't know anything. Solutions might exist where I least expect, like a recepe for onion soup.

Truckers in Attawa, linemen in Ashville, artisans in Mombasa, alternative journalist/historians in western Japan, polyface farmers in western Virginia, all form communities of trust and mutual aid.

Michael Tellinger of South Africa would call it ubuntu.

My guess is that a vulnerable new community, making first steps toward beauty, goodness, and truth, attempting to appreciate and care for the individual as well as the group, needs a means of doing 3 things:

• Strengthening defense

• Accessing sustenance

• Building trust

My thought experiments in my imagination seem to confirm that for each individual, caring is required for loving. In other words, as I own whatever is in my own best interests, I must also begin to own whatever is in the best interest of others around me.

For each tribe, each communal culture, *TRUST* seems to be the vital principle which allows dispositions to be lured from

"Life sucks" to

"My life sucks" to

"I'm great" to

"We're great" to

"Life is great."

The space of not knowing or even a step of unknowing (as in Iain McGilchrist's philosophy) seems like the best place to begin.

We will get there. Shall we begin?

Live & Laughter,
