Consequences of a reactively created complex society-2014

A reactive complex society creates classes. It makes a class of people good at controlling, managing, and arguing, relying primarily on their ability to deal with complexity, policy, law, and procedures. I think it is sad because everyone else considered less important is responsible for creativity, more loving and caring about one another, innovation, knowledge creation, imagination, and working towards progress in our current definition. I favor doing away with classes altogether because the controllers in our society have realized that as long as they are in control, they can make their own rules about who matters more. Ingratiators and power players in the political realm rub elbows with those who have self-created their higher relative importance designation, thus making all of those people, in essence, corrupt to the way things presently are in our world. Many are so complacent and get blinders on when they are treated like royalty that they forget about trying to define actual problems in any real way. Instead, many are lost and do what they are told by those who sound like they know what they are talking about. Many tactics are used to gain control over those primarily supposed to be for the people and the environment. First, extreme confidence is used as a tool regardless of actual knowledge about the totality of an issue. Most issues are incomplete, not well-defined problems, or lack appropriate contextual consideration regarding all related issues. Second, endless debate and argument on these inadequately defined problems further wastes time and our cumulative energy allocation towards solving problems. Third, distractions are created when things get too complex, and a diversion is needed to distract people from the real problems. Last, when all else fails, they pass problems along to a subordinate, so they have someone to blame when they fail in their responsibility to serve in their role. It is not all their fault. It is what we have created in a reactionary way. Many do not realize that problems are multidimensional and have many other parts, just like nature, where everything is connected to everything else. I feel sad for low-wage earners who are working hard every day while those making the most in our society are working hard as well but contributing much less in terms of value, energy, and benefits to our culture, relatively speaking, not because they do not want to but because they are not able to with the current reactionary complex system of laws, rules, regulations, and complexity not to mention the inherent complexity in all of society and nature itself. We are creating complexity upon complexity upon complexity in a never-ending sort of way. We are forgetting the relatively critical societal issues and roles that require us to follow the designated process and procedures above all else. We dwell on issues of less relative importance, while those of higher relative importance are never approached. It is really weird. Many examples exist, but it’s like painting the smokestack on the Titanic. We pay attention primarily to these issues, while the big problems get little attention. The band is still playing on the deck, and people are having fun and getting their self-actualized needs met, but I am worried that we are not paying the needed attention to solving our big problems. The first with the highest significance and relative importance should be transforming Earth into a sustainable, striving planet. We must include everyone everywhere, minimize complexity, and function closer to nature. Wouldn’t it be great if we all started working together so we could begin the transitioning process?
