Jubilee Prosperity

Conclusion:

Every empire learns conquest is best done from the inside.

Georg Simmel wrote:

It has been said that England could gain India only by means of India, as Xerxes earlier understood that Greece could best be conquered by means of the Greeks.

Precisely those who by likeness of interests are brought together best know reciprocally each other’s weaknesses and their vulnerable points, so that the principle of similia similibus–the annihilation of a condition by producing a similar condition–may here be produced in the widest degree. [32]

These seemingly brilliant and elaborate social engineering schemes have one crucial flaw: They completely backfire if no one shows up to the game. The Supreme Leaders of Iran, Myanmar, N Korea, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen fall if the ants go on strike.

If no one buys into the view of mind which claims that mind is merely capable of saying a binary yes or no to outside stimuli, then the puppet masters won’t be able to use social engineering to game the herd.

Socrates did not allow himself to be gamed.

He refused to accept the Rules of the Game. He constantly pointed out the absurdities of the axioms of his day by deductively drawing them to their laughable conclusions. The Socratic method is used to this day, by all Sovereign Minds, to break mental haze created by Empires of the Past.

Why would we want to show up to play someone else’s game at our expense every day?

For internet addicts, why show up at corporate conquest games 36 times a day? Why show up at all?

One day, we may wake up from hazy trance to find the Coliseum cheering with blood on our hands. Cops, spies, war vets and others in stressful positions found this.
