Abstracting the Human


What is human nature?  The world of a human is human nature.  The actions that a human partakes in, forced or willing, and the choices made produce boundaries.  From these boundaries is the grounds from which complacency are grown.  As the complacency grows, boundaries are pushed outwards to test the limits of how society is able to respond.  From this, criminality is born from those who step beyond boundaries.  Each generation, therefore, sets a further initial boundary to redefine the definition of criminality.  This step is taken until a certain level of lawlessness is realized which produces a recession of boundary.  These cycles do not remove criminal acts, but redefine acts from criminal to noncriminal and back.  At the same time, rudementary criminal acts can remain fixed or new exceptions are born.  Those in power who bring about the recession are capable of defining knew classes of humans which reside outside the standard boundary of law.  Also, those in power redefine the worth of objects, allowing for the self defense of things over people for their own further development of power.

Morality and ethics then set a very low bar upon which laws are based.  As well, laws are most often written to directly reflect a union of the set of ethics of those with power to enact such laws.  Unsurprisingly, laws favor the power/rich over the powerless/poor/peasants.  So long as the moral code of the poor and the rich is sufficiently overlapping, peasant uprising can be squashed effectively.  Complacency of the law abiding do not wish to upset the balance fearing a worse state of power, ignoring that such a state itself could be overthrown.  Such coup d'etats may be necessary until a sufficiently wise foundation is set forth to deal with issues in a bloodless and lawful fashion.

Ideas are only dangerous to the powerful.  Ideas are neither truth nor fiction, but supositions on the state of the world as it could be.  Such ideas can only threathen those in power.  The powerless cannot be threatened because they have no power based recourse.  The powerful are threatened by ideas because ideas can make the powerless powerful, usurping their power and instate a new order which simplifies or eliminates their power.

Truth is dangerous to the powerful.  Truth is what is, not what one tries to make it out to be.  Truth is not always clear, when it is possible for some parties to hide it.  From truth, one is able to see all the actions that are taken by the powerful.  The powerless then are able to judge the powerful.  The powerful must account for their actions or ideas may form.  When all the truth is available, people are willing and able to make up their mind.  The media which are also powerful must be truthful.  For in the freedom of speach is the ability to lie, but true freedom is truth.

Fiction is stories.  Fiction represented as truth is lies.  Fiction represented as stories are stories.  Fiction represented as stories may reveal truth (Hamlet's play in Hamlet), or it may cause such overwhelming implication that the flabbergasted implicee may reveal less truth and more fear of rumor (Hamlet's play in Hamlet).  Fiction can sway the masses.  Truth can as well.  Fiction can drown out truth.  Truth can drown out fiction.  The key to societal happiness is guaranteeing that truth can drown out fiction.  Because the ones responsible for stating truth or fiction are biased to beliving their truth is truth not fiction, truth and fiction must be backed by evidence.  Evidence should be independently collected and presented.  It is the responsibility of the people, not the media or the powerful, to make opinions for the people.  In this, the media currently does a gross injustice.
