I believe that the future belongs to those who create it.


When a group of disparate cells finds ways to intersect purpose, the cooperative is born as a greater organism.

The union combines the functions of its cells in ways that the cells cannot, but the union will always be dependent upon the efficient functionality of its constituents for survival.



Communal efficiency requires each cell of a cooperative to base its choices upon measures it creates of the union's output.
If, at any time, a cell is denied choice, the cooperative is destroyed, either by refusal of the cell to perform its function or by the cell functioning without measures sufficient to make its output intelligent.
This simple fact, ignored by failed tribes throughout history is of paramount importance today because, for the first time ever, the tribe is global.
The founders of the United States recognized that stability requires government to be consensual.

They successfully created the richest and most powerful nation in the history of mankind by separating morality from protection.

Choice could be maintained and the state could remain stable by keeping the state from becoming a religion.
People could worship whatever deity they wanted and practice whatever form of morality they chose for their community, county or State by uniting the States for common protection without a common set of morals.

All that changed and the union began its slow decent into despotism when Washington DC exceeded its constitutional powers and began dictating morality.
Yet Washington DC could have never decayed into its present form of the world’s most powerful criminal organization without the functionality of its cells: the people of the various States of the union.

We demand that the District of Columbia dictate morality, that it become a church with an army, because we want to control people in other States. We want to steal their wealth and force them to worship our idea of what is right.
After all, if there is one truth, and we know what it is, we are doing others a favor by forcing them to abide by it.
Thus, our success or failure as a nation is tied to a sick, sad little belief that there is only one truth and that we are destined to follow whatever it happens to be, good or bad.
When we find something we can verify as the truth, we assume it is the only one, even if it enslaves us.
It never occurs to us that there is physically more than one set of truths or that we are the creators of our own shackles.
We are taught from birth that we are next to nothing when, in fact, we are Gods, each creating our own universe bounded only by conception, or sharing a common playground when we wish conception to grow.
