What if the "truth" is: the "truth" is indescernible/unknowable/nonexistent? Then the closest we get is through being true to and with ourselves.

To some degrees, sure, but nothing is all good and nothing is all bad, so a system may be noticeably be fraudulent but not absolutely fraudulent.

In 1980, the political scientist robert axelrod organised a tournament where computers played against eachother with different strategies for the iterated prisonners dilemma. People where free to submit different strategies.

The outcome was that coöperative strategies where significantly more succesfull than defective ones, and one of the simplest ones, "tit for tat" was the most succesfull of them all.

The experiment was repeated with refined strategies based on analyses of the first tournament but tit for tat remained the most succesfull strategy.

Since then these results have been used by biologists and economists to explain the how complex forms of coöperation can evolve.

This is relevant because the underlying principle applies to intelligent lifeforms like humans, wolves, bonobo's or dolphins, but to plants, fungi or bacteria as well.

The underlying principle is that the most succesfull approach in strategic interactions is to be friendly (coöperative), but to retaliate when friendliness is being answered with unfriendliness.

This is true individually, but more importantly, it is also true on a grouplevel.

So in other words, kindness serves society/mankind. But only when unkindness is being avenged as well.

You can only avenge unkindness if you are aware of it and have the know-how and tools to do it.

The economic war (unkindness) that is being waged on the unaware people is real and unrelenting. Unless the people are going to wake up and see what is going on there is nothing that will stop this unkindness from being perpetrated. In fact, the tools to avenge it are being taken away and the knowledge about it is carefully hidden by smoke and mirrors. This mechanism is not by any means a conspiracy theory, it is out there in the open for any who wants to see it.

Just look up "fractional reserve banking definition" and see how the underlying results from that policy is cloaked in smoke and mirrors. After you get a sense of the mechanism, realize that since March 2020 the reserve requirement ratio has been adjusted to zero percent!

The fact that the financial system is aiming for 2% inflation each year should be eye-opening to anyone who understands the results from such a policy. Then realize that the official inflation numbers are grossly adjusted downward from the actual inflation numbers. Add to that the fact that in the financial system the Business Cycle is considered normal and accepted.

And I'm just barely awoken from a 40+ years slumber, I suspect the shadows will get a lot larger and darker the more light is being cast on issues. It is one of the reasons that I'm seeking alternative sources of perception and information, because it has become crystal-clear to me that the traditional perceptions and information is not conducive to a proper human experience.


But as always, Flux with joy and enjoy the Flux!

This reminds me a lot of Peter Kropotkin and his idea about mutual aid in the different reigns of live - he defended a sort of mutual Lamarckism/ biological founded anarchism against the "survival of the fittest" ideology of these days.

I remember playing the boardgame "Carcassonne" one day with some friends. With one of them, we decided to work together instead of everybody for himself. The rules seemed to don't formerly forbid that.

Needless to say that we won with an enormous difference. Big grin
