Yak's my friend. I still think he's full of crap sometimes, and other times, he's got it down pat. I can only hope he feels the same about me. Regardless, the questioning of a viewpoint as it stands is the colony or the hive, because a single ant doesn't do much. The way the System(s) work is not a 1960s villain-and-hero tale, it's a well-oiled (sometimes) machine that gets strength from that which is not obvious. That's by design.
There's three kinds of people in the world... Controllers (the few, at different rungs of the ladder), Subordinates (the proud; ignorantly or purposefully), and the Awake (the ugly, unpopular crazies). Now, it's been this way for a long time in varying degrees, but the checks-and-balances of both the citizens and even other countries made this work, roughly. Didn't matter if it was tribes of Natives on the American Plains or ships fulla conquering white folk. The problem is, there's no where else to go. We know the confines of our planet and its resources. Much of it is visibly finite. So, alter the visibility, fog the outlook, mask the truth. Keep people doing as they are "supposed to" for as long as possible. It's for our own good, right?
When something odd leaks out, it's worth pondering. The Banking/Corporatist society to which we're all part of, like it or not, cannot be the only option. It hides behind world events, catastrophes (invented or real), political titles, judicial decisions and distracts/controls us with cheap garbage and bad food. One thing the System has a point about is blaming us...that any dissatisfaction is actually our fault...their solution is, buy more, reach more, dream more. Another solution is, do more, learn more, be more--the problem may not be our fault, the lack of solution
choice is.
A judge making a decision might be a drop in the bucket, it might be a dead-end, or crap, but sometimes it's worth checking out. It's better than a steady diet of cable news, sitcoms, arguing over the new OS of your iWhatever, pretending you own your leased car or borrowed home. I hope, anyway!
I can't plug back into the Matrix now, no matter how much I'd prefer it.
