Aggressive social diagnosis and "old" prescriptions

The first two chapters first treated the society and analyzed the "cancer" diagnoses one by one for everyone to see, constantly inciting the hatred of the masses in the middle. The last one proposed that the world has cancer of "money", so the typical Western social therapy appeared: now the world is sick, and the cause is "money", well, then abolish it!

First of all, the plan proposed in the movie can't be completely flattened. It only said some things that people want to know, but there are even bigger loopholes behind these things. The inequality of human beings is not a tragedy, but the essence. Not only human beings, but all living things, and even cell genes are heterogeneous. This is a system created by nature. Excellent genes (here refers to real genes) are inherently expansive, and in the process of life expansion, they are naturally They will choose to squeeze out poor genes in order to allow their better populations to prosper. It's the genetics that they are unconscious, innate, and created by nature, because nature wants them to be. Conversely, if all genes think about equality, then give up expansion, high-quality genes cannot grow, and low-quality genes cannot be eliminated, how can organisms evolve? How can they survive the drastic changes in the environment? In the biological world, nature is set like this. If humans did not learn tools to use violence to subdue animals at higher levels in the original food chain from primitive times? How to survive in the ferocious beasts until now? We are the same as animals, we eat the weak and the strong, either by force or by strong reproduction, and these behaviors are expansion. Don't say that there are more violent acts now than before. If you can think about things in your own mind, you will naturally know how to survive in the forest when we are not yet civilized, relying on violence! When the total number of human beings is getting bigger and bigger, how can we ensure the continuation and growth of our genes in the world, and how do we compete for the right to mate? It's also about violence. When human beings have entered civilization, violence in society can be reduced. And a society needs to take shape, relying on excellent people to lead and organize, what can a person with no brains but full of hands and feet do? It’s not that someone has to enslave someone, but human beings need leaders, and society needs brains to be able to function and make progress (I’m not praising a specific leader, but an abstract concept, including elites from all walks of life. ). And some people do have the ability to promote the progress of society, and some people need to be led, because without leadership, they will be overwhelmed. With leadership, there will inevitably be inequality. No matter how these classes are divided, there will always be someone in power and someone frustrated. The former elite may have tried to create eternal dominance, eternal privilege and comfort for their descendants, but this is simply impossible to maintain forever. First, there is no guarantee that the genes of future generations will always be excellent. Second, it is just like the theory of evolution. , When the times have changed and the environment has changed, what was once excellent in another era may be useless at all, so there have been constant changes of regimes and the rise and fall of industries in various places in history. These are the laws of nature. You think this system is no longer good, and when its fate comes to an end, there will naturally be a new system to replace it. But the result is not that the class has changed, and people have begun to fanatically pursue other things. As long as you are not a leader, then who will rule and pursue what, it is just a change of surname. And the most said kind of huge system, who builds it? Who will lead? Don't say that there is no need for leadership. Humans must be led if they do not lead others, or they will become refugees and spiritual gypsies. It is nonsense to say that only 3% of the people can maintain the operation of the entire system, so that human beings can live without food and clothing and can last forever. Only 3% of people are needed in society, so do we go to education to become scientists and artists? And the truth is, only a small percentage of people are the real seeds, so what are the others doing? stay? Is it a socially useless person to let such a large crowd look at oneself with such wide eyes? Or play all day without thinking about anything? I am afraid that even if human beings don’t have to work hard to make money and worry about disease and death, there will be more terrible things, that is, boredom, when we are not needed by society, when we become like everyone, when we lose the meaning of struggle, When we lose competition and effort, our spirits break sooner or later, because it's all inhumane. The film takes a loose approach to pure violence, but attacks capital and those who own it. If you are in the position of those in power, you are not necessarily more benevolent than them. These remarks are constantly trying to please the masses, win over the masses, and incite the masses.

If you think that these social problems are caused by money, it is better to look at your own nature. The world has been dying from the beginning, and the life of everything is aimed at death. If the phenomena proposed in the film are pathological, Then the cause of the disease has long been rooted in the genes from the beginning of life, and a little adjustment can be done, but changing the system is changing the soup instead of the medicine. These social problems will still appear, and there will be more and more, because the population base increasing. If you want to eradicate the problem once and for all, you can only completely eliminate all life with this "selfish" gene, just like someone always has a chronic disease, if you want to cure it, kill him

  • [last lines]

    Jacque Fresco: The in-group will do all it can to stay in power. And that's what you've got to keep in mind. They'll use the army and the navy and lies or whatever they have to use to keep in power. They're not about to give it up. Because they know of no other system that perpetuates their kind.

  • Michael Ruppert: The world is now using 6 barrels of oil for every barrel it finds. 5 years ago it was using 4 barrels for every barrel it found. A year from now it's going to be using 8 barrels for every barrel it finds.
