The Stronger Force In Human Culture

If one accepts the premise that social connections do make the world go round, then in effect, nothing else matters whether this is called science, religion, the law, government or anything else in between.

We often make arguments and assume different scenarios based on what is presented to us. We forget though that the news, social introductions, online profiles, company descriptions or even laws and "human rights" are nothing but a facade, a make-believe that more or less makes us feel good and safe.

We are surrounded by blue pills on a daily basis but we rarely take the extra step to consider how they all affect us. Sure we suspect the most obvious ones like religion and politics but the rabbit hole goes much, much deeper.

For the sake of discussion, I won't analyse every single one here since there are so many. Instead, I would like you to present me with a counter argument that demonstrates effectively that, for the most part, an institution, concept or ideology can be proven more superior than nepotism/connections.

On another level consider also this. A person who knows many people is also more manipulative, fake and deceptive. The reason is simple. Humans are quite different from each other when it comes to their character and experiences. If one is to truly bond with another, one has to emulate that person's character, attitude, ideas, and in a sense, history in order to create a bond. Politicians do this by over generalising, trying not be direct with anything or anyone. Business and self-help seminars also teach how to be "an effective psychopath" more or less in order to get others to do what you want without them even realising it (rather enjoying it).

Now, top this with the obvious nepotism that this social manipulation brings and I doubt that there is a stronger social force anywhere on this planet that can beat it. Science, religion, politics, technology, the government, laws..everything is a result and under control of nepotism.

You have two choices. Either accept this fact and become a whore to nepotism that will make your life easier or take the lonely road, barely make it and perish (mostly) alone.
