We have a top-heavy politik. The resources and interchange of the people of the world is controlled and decided by authorities. In almost all nations. On almost all continents. Even the modern ones.
The material well-being of the people of the world is being decided in bureaus and offices and government buildings.
This is cutting the flow of vitality and sustenance from and to the people of the world.
It’s like having a meter on a Tesla coil.
The oceans of vitality and interchange of vitality of humans in its trillions of manifestations is being limited and diverted and manipulated at pumping or diverting stations: governments and dictators.
One might say, hopefully the people controlling us and our vitality are good people.
If you believe in inalienable rights, it is morally wrong to control or coerce people. After all, what is government—even good government? A myriad of police officers with a gun and a prison cell behind them.
You might make exceptions for murder and theft and rape. But you would limit authority as much as possible. On principle.
And it is interesting how following principle leads you to the utilitarian (the social welfare).
One, it inevitably turns out that your governors never end up staying or being good people. Two, governors are incapable of supplying all the vectors and knowing all of the variables. Three, this modality inherently is flawed in that there is a severe bottleneck of flow of vitality.
Four, this is wrong to do to people. It has been posited that we are autonomous and have inalienable rights that no majority or popularity can take away. Certainly no autocrat.
So when I read politics, I don’t see “ oh good, the government is helping these people with this bargain or that policy.” I see, the authorities—and however they get their power—are limiting our fertility and vitality and wellbeing—both materially and spiritually; and we are giving them the authority to do it. And either we really believe this is the best way; we are getting enough runoff to imbibe, or some of us are heisting the rest of us through an intelligentsia or media or bribery.
I don’t see “ good, the authorities are opening this duct or that duct of vwell-being”. I see ‘the authorities are bottlenecking the vitality—the welfare or wellbeing —of humanity.’
It is like saying, here stranger on the street, I’ll go ahead and give you my wallet ahead of time and say “take good care of me and my family.”
