The Individualism vs Collectivism Debate

in #philosophy6 years ago (edited)

Earth Custodians have pondered this equation for a decade now, and there is no other way out. And screaming otherwise with all the force of our lungs will not change the fact that Natural Laws are ultimate. Just in case you would not know, the image above is which of the Fabian Society, notice the "wolf in sheep clothing" above the red globe. Zooming in may be necessary.

Fabian Society founded in 1884 in London, having as its goal the establishment of a democratic socialist state in Great Britain.

Breaking the Law of Balance is why we are in this global conundrum.

Reality is a mix of both: individualism is perfectly fine as long as man remains aware of his environment (society and nature). It is a 50-50%. Individualism alone as a theory is kind of a flawed reasoning to start with. And the world controllers know this and of course, will continue to sponsored that flaw for the sake of their own "divide and conquer".

... Long before socialism was invented, governments already figured out that promoting security and economic abundance to obtain people’s consent offered many advantages. They already were very well aware that selling “state welfare” (the wealth of the empire is necessary for the security of the people) was key to remain in power. And this does mean that socialism was bound to eventually become a theory centuries later. For capitalism, which mainly regulates profit seeking, the ability to cash in on all that has always been a bounty.... http://www.earthcustodians.net/blog/2018/08/13/the-inherent-flaws-in-monetarism-will-always-break-the-law-of-equilibrium/

Individualism vs collectivism is a controlled theory that is as old as mankind. They already knew in the Ancient Rome and Greece that faking an interest in the population's needs would help manipulate the latter. World collectivism is taking over because the meritocrats understood the name of the game centuries ago.

In time of peace, individualism is praised and in time of war, collectivism becomes the mantra. When people feel threatened, they will generally choose the group over individual actions. That is why nationalism is working so well, and will keep opposing individualism as long as people do not realize that the use of military intervention is what alters the perception of individualism, its spectrum of action.

But here is the trick: should that happen, individualism would open up, expand, and accept the interconnectedness of everything. It is the fight against individualism that limits the latter, and keeps it in its most reductionist form, often perceived as selfish. On the other hand, despite its awful consequences, the success of socialism (collectivism'softer version) is the evidence that a majority wants to collaborate. And that is where the meritocrats are lurking to entrap us furthermore.

People are bound to collaborate or go extinct. But that conclusion must be the result of free thinking, not a collectivist mindset. Humans are all unique but must share their skills to survive. Each skill is complementary of another one. Truth lies in that very subtle difference. Social engineering bypasses uniqueness, and wants everybody to think alike.

Unfortunately, when everybody follows the money it is a cake walk to "control" people since the latter focus their attention on the same thing -- promotion, profit or paycheck-- forgetting about the so many traps designed to transform the planet into a "cyber people's farm" out there.

Three children in every classroom are suffering mental health problems fueled by social media, the chief executive of the UK’s biggest children’s charity has said. (09/23/2018) Telegraph.uk.

Money is by definition a very coercive tool. Very few people think independently when money is involved but about the next deal and possible association. Monopoly collusion being a competition to eliminate all competition. This mechanism is by which corporatism is achieved. And generally people who do not comprehend this mechanism, will regard corporations as a necessary evil -- and even (in)directly support them.

Society Is Made Of Narrative. Realizing This Is Awakening From The Matrix... Society is made of narrative like the Matrix is made of code. Identity, language, etiquette, social roles, opinions, ideology, religion, ethnicity, philosophy, agendas, rules, laws, money, economics, jobs, hierarchies, politics, government, they’re all purely mental constructs which exist nowhere outside of the mental noises in our heads... https://www.wakingtimes.com/2018/09/19/society-is-made-of-narrative-realizing-this-is-awakening-from-the-matrix/

We cannot do it alone when it comes down to action. Everything is interconnected. Individualism and cooperation are the result of a 50-50%. The problem arises a soon as either individualism, or cooperation, wants to get more than 50% of the pie so to speak. It is about equilibrium. Money too often compromises this equilibrium because of greed. Money and greed are bedfellows. Accepting that we cannot override this Law must invite us to imagine a money-free society.

What it does mean is that opposites fuel one another existence, exacerbating their flaws and what they cannot be therefore. The rulers have understood this since the dawns of time: that what we fight will persist. The flaws will persist and prevent us from seeing the Greater Reality. That Freedom and free will are the consequences of the merging of cooperation and uniqueness. What makes us great and special as sentient beings!

“It was apparent that materialism was in complete control of the economic structure, the final objective of which was for the individual to become part of a system providing an economic security at the expense of the human soul, mind, and body.” ― Manly P. Hall

The victory of the species over the individual. Thanks for reminding me of that concept

yes we are all unique but the universe has made sure that we learn about collaboration

I remembering being no more than six years old when I came to the realization that money is just paper which is just trees... So why was something that was made out of such a common material treated with such high value? It was something that stumped me for a long time until I realized the control money had over our lives as a species. Thank you for sharing, it was an excellent read!
