A reactive complex society creates classes. It creates a class of people that are good at controlling, managing, arguing, whereby they rely primarily on their ability to deal with complexity, policy, law. and procedures. I think it really sad because everyone else that is considered less important are the ones responsible for the creativity,more loving and caring about one another, innovation, knowledge creation, imagination, and working towards progress in our current definition. I am in favor of doing away with classes all together 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 that 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 very complacent and get blinders on when they are treated like royalty that they forget about trying to define actual problems in any sort of real way. Instead, many are lost and do what they are told by those that sound like they know what they are talking about. Many tactics are used to gain control over those that are supposed to be for the people and the environment primarily. First, extreme confidence is used as a tool regardless of actual knowledge about the totality of an issue. In fact, most issues that are brought up are incomplete, not well defined problems, or lack appropriate contextual consideration as far as all related issues are concerned. 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 connected parts to them just like nature where everything is connected to everything else. To be quite honest I feel really sad for low wage earners who are working hard everyday 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 society 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 about the higher relatively important issues and roles in our society in favor of following 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 its like painting the smokestack on the titanic. We are paying attention primarily to these sorts of 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 highest significance and highest relative importance ought to be transforming planet Earth to a sustainable striving planet Earth. We must include everyone everywhere and we must minimize complexity and function closer to nature. Wouldn’t it be great if we all started working together so we can begin the transformation process?
