Recently, it seems as if the whole world has gone insane. There is genocide occurring in at least two locations presently. In both cases, the powerful world governments are openly supporting these ongoing tragedies. There are again, race riots, wars, and mass corruption occurring on colossal scales. Police now incarcerate civilians under the pretext of protecting the interests of politicians that are funded by big business. Everyone seems to be either in debt, in jail, or homeless. It seems as if this is business as usual for the global human race. That is, that the powerful will dominate the weak and there is the age-old bogus dynamic of good vs evil. However, the evil now control everything, and they tell us that they are the good. It seems as if the human race has reverted back to the standards of early civilization. We are in the times of kings and slaves. There are only a handful of kings and the rest of us are the slaves. The progress that humans seemed to have made in the past hundred years or so seems to have been for naught. The ideals of human rights, liberty, freedom, fairness, and equality that were developed over centuries and put into practice only recently have taken a back seat to values that are quite the opposite. Why has this occurred? What has led the humans towards this rapid regression in our ethical code?
The human race indeed seems to be heading for total destruction. The current moral standard seems to punish the Weak and reward the Strong. The Strong continue to hold a self-perpetuated righteous position of destruction and mass murder while the Weak are finding themselves incarcerated for simply opposing the Strong. It really is quite a bizarre state of affairs. It is even stranger to see that collectively, we the Weak, in a way, have inadvertently chosen this dialectic. The social masse or the Weak all combined, actually preserve the real power.
So, we seem to have accepted or even demanded this present situation. The individual knows that this twisted ethical position is wrong. Even the moderately educated have a profound understanding that war and mass murder are fundamentally wrong. Yet, we watch these tragedies happen en vivo, every day and sit powerless and angry while doing nothing. Confused and dejected, we cannot believe that our own leaders openly support this kind of horror. We see on the news, that our country has bombed another group of people because of some vague reason that rarely makes sense.
Of course there are economic reasons why war must continue. Due to global quantitative easing banking policies of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, we find ourselves backed into a very cramped corner. This quantitative easing banking system effectively has transitioned currency into debt. Currency acts as the pillar for 21st century democratic capitalism and has now enslaved the whole world through a debt-based scheme. The pillar has become rotten to the core. The only thing currently supporting the massive Ponzi scheme of the capital is debt through endless war and pointless destruction. The gloomy part is that this trend will continue until a peak point of destruction of natural order has occurred. At this point, civilization might be primed for some sort of revolt
It sounds totally insane, but the fact is that we, as a human race, are nowhere near being ready for peace. Why is it so? What is it that is holding us back? Where is the accord? Why are we acting more like apes with baseball caps and assault weapons than advanced creative creatures with an infinite capacity for sharing and caring?
Humans have the precarious dilemma of having and an advanced primate brain. This brain gives us the curious position of being self-aware and emotional creatures. We also carry the infection of insanity inside our minds. This insanity is what builds on the destructive forces behind our general behavior.
We are beasts of a greater capacity towards chaos. This is due to how our brain evolved. Our brain is combined with other lower brains’. This mental construct is generally referred to as the primate brain to mammalian brain to reptilian brain structure. It is the communicative interaction between these brains that is accountable for our deeds. In other words, there is a power struggle between these three brains. The logic that is produced from this struggle, determines the outcome of our actions. It is also this struggle that causes many types of stresses. From this struggle is where jealousy, contempt, violence, and hatred arise. It is the interrelation of these brains that truly impedes our ability to forgive, share, and to love. Most people have a vague idea of this basic natural law. For example, simple rules such as ‘dont kill others’, ‘dont defecate where you eat’, ‘dont steal or rape’ are not at all too difficult to grasp. It is wrong to pillage and plunder. It is wrong to cause suffering of others for your personal gain. These ideals can represent a kind of column for ‘natural law’. Natural law can be labeled as such due to the observations of less complex social organisms that seemingly follow these simple aforementioned codes.
It doesn`t really matter what kind of human you are, because, in the sense of human rights we are all equal. We are all equal in the amount of potential value that we possess. The value is the potential for contribution to the society in which we live.
It seems that humans have basic rights and these rights are apparently recognized by certain international organizations. However, the human masses that understand this are, at present, and have always been ruled by leaders or institutions that follow the opposite of this supposed moral core.
These institutions i.e. money, religion, and government are necessary social constructs to limit the degrees of freedom in various societies. These institutions are in place to limit our overall potential for social freedom.
It seems quite counter-intuitive that we, the masses, continue to support these leaders and/or institutions that go against the grain of our presupposed natural law. Why do we, as moral creatures continue to support the immoral social methods of organization? Why do we blindly accept these bogus institutions? From where did these machinations originate?
From the practice of religion, to the observation of law, and the worship of money, we have not only accepted these inventions but have embraced them as the fabric that holds society together. We, as a species have been evolving these insanities for over thousands of years of civilized living. We need these institutions as much as we need the food and water that sustain us. They serve as the safety net that protects us from what we fear the most; chaos.
It is the internal struggle within every human to rebuff the tendency towards the energetic minimum and the chaos that is associated with death. It is our fear of randomness that drives the conscious collect (the human race), to invent more and more complex schemes and institutions so we can bring order to the general tendency for disorder. Entropy is the embodiment of insanity just as it is the quintessence of ultimate freedom. Therefore, we forever feel that we must guard against such energetic flows with these equally insane advents.
Equation representing information entropy
The equation above represents the amount of entropy that could develop when information is expressed/received/stored. H, represents entropy, and pi, is a unit of discrete probability. As humans are creatures of information, we drastically increase the amount of entropy in the information pool (our reality pool) as a function of time. This occurs via the process of communication. Both internal and external communication leads to an ever-expanding entropy in the social environment that we inhabit. Humans have a great capacity to process large volumes of information. This leads to a large probability (pi) factor within this information processing system.
Entropy expands logarithmically every time humans interact. Due to the `time arrow’ paradigm, this would cause maximum entropy in a closed system in a given time. This ‘peak entropy’ can be witnessed macroscopically as social expression. It can be observed as the chaos of the social stream by observing most human actions. Free expression of the ‘peak entropy’ term by the human mind, occurs as a split in the framework of the interaction between the three brains. It is witnessed by others as pure insanity.
It is sometimes convenient to consider these actions as animalistic, but they are actually what distinguish us as human. Whenever the control mechanism of a particular institution fails, even temporarily, a crime against natural or social law may occur. This criminal occurrence is the complete and pure expression of entropy; it is the momentary climax of peak entropy within the social bubble.
In this sense, society can be considered as a collection of many institutions that are superimposed on one another. Each individual employs their own particular method of following the order of their world of superimposed laws of behavior and morality. Of course this consumes extreme amounts of energy over time. Due to this energetic constraint, a moment will eventually arise where the beast becomes exposed. It is in this special moment that we can find the true essence of the human species. It is when the mask is unveiled. This can be considered as ‘peak social entropy’.
In the moment of a complete loss of control, the institutions that the human being emulates become temporarily defunct and the subject can finally taste freedom. All forms of crime are nothing more than expressions of peak social entropy. In other words, true crime is the momentary disruption of the control mechanism of the superimposed social structure (the institutions). These forms of expression (crimes) are natural and necessary vises for the healthy function of any society. It is the universal law of the thermodynamic tendency towards disorder that keeps society imaginative. It is the balance of natural disordering with the fear a disordered final product that constitutes overall social order. This mathematical law can be witnessed in action by observing simple social models. The starting point will always be the individual and the emotions that emanate from each individual creature. The actual health of this scheme is, in a way, the emotional measuring stick of any group of creatures that communicate information within a closed system (a society).
If an instance of flight from the sphere of regulation occurs, we tend to call it a crime. It is curious that even though these crimes are, in fact, absolute necessities for the emotional evolution of a group, they are still severely punished. Actually, crime is a vital source for social freedom.
Indeed, we must learn to view the world of control and chaos as nothing more than a natural energetic system that is moving multi-directionally and multi-functionally. At the very least, we should embrace ‘crime’ as one necessity of the human mental condition and understand that our many social institutions are nothing more than artificial constructs born out of the fear of death and disorder.
Collectively, we have chosen this world of insanity. Our burning desire to destroy everything is nothing more than a mental sand castle put in place to protect ourselves from the one truth, that we will all meet a chaotic end. Entropy is in the lurch, waiting for us, and patiently with open arms, it will accept us and set us free.
