It is not the systems themselves that are the problem, it's those that wield them for personal gain. As a species we have a psychopath (NPD) problem compounded by our worship of them. Anarcho-socialist myself but it only would take one arsehole to fuck that up too. 2/2

Not entirely disagreeing. But it's not about the ppl. It's about the system. Anytime you have a grouping into a system it becomes an entity in itself. If you apply the rule sets of a hive organism to capitalism, socialism, Apple, MSFT, et al their actions make a lot more sense.>

I disagree on that, it is about the people I think but yes if you follow the logic through of any system some are better than others but still applied by people in any case. Greed corrupts everything. Greed is our problem.

Greed is our problem. Capitalism has very efficiently taken advantage of it and infect our species. BTW greed is also my reason why I cannot believe any conspiracy theory. Greed will always destroy it.

Yeah I just go by presented evidence on the conspiracy theory front. Of course some will be true, I just don't rush to judgement because I want it to be true.

I just don't see why viewing an organisation as an entity is difficult. We are being killed by a virus... it's NOT alive. It's a string of proteins adapting to infect us. Are we any different? A group of ppl making up a larger entity? Apply the rule set to the police or military>

2> no longer protecting/serving the public, it's goals are to service itself and boondoggle ppl into paying taxes to feed it under the guise of protection. We have trouble seeing the larger body because we're in it. The actions seem clearly alive to me. But may be 100% shit too.

I'll have to look into this. I have no idea/ability to comment. I've read less than 500 words from him. I find his writing painfully difficult to read. So never tried past that.

Essentially he said if aliens came to earth, they could regard the zaibatsu (corps) as the dominant life form. They are essentially immortal compared to us puny humans.
