Solving problems, performing astounding feats of mind and body is not a privilege of any class, race or gender.

- Discrete states and discretisation.

Solving problems, performing astounding feats of mind and body is not a privilege of any class, race or gender. It is certainly not down to genes, implicated so much on intelligence or other mental capacities.

The reason why such notions surface is upon the way societies are built, tightly snared in the monetisation gauntlet, leave no room for the individual mind to thrive. Even from an early age, the individual trapped in education systems the world over whose only purpose are to furnish a hungry and voracious monetising system, with pawns to replenish their numbers.

Everything counted in money and whatever can not, it does not produce monetary value, is neglected, ridiculed, stepped on ruthlessly. Human values are distorted, warped all in the service of the monetising society, and the worst of all, young individuals, their budding young minds crashed to a pulp.

Indoctrinated to the hilt, separated into trash and jewels according to standards monetisation prescribes, their mind withers and dies, their mental potential never given the chance to glow, as this does not serve the aspirations of a wealth amassing society.

To end up buried minds forever lost, easy prey to monetising-induced lurking perils to finish them off.

I should stop this, I get carried away and I forget what it really matters to me. The thoughts triggered in my mind when I read an article in the Guardian newspaper on Steven Pinker, with the title Basic instincts, especially the mention of blank slate or tabula rasa, the idea that nurture is more important than nature. Somehow, out of the blue, as I think is called, brought forward the notion of discrete units and concepts. That what we are, it is up to the things we learned and built on, in some sort of schemata mode. Procedures stored in memory or whatever, which we bring forth on demand. When a situation arises.

It is upon the amount and accuracy of these amassed procedures that define individuals as smart clever or stupid. The less an individual has, the least the ready-made, 'off-the-self' solutions (or may be alternatives) can offer at given problem-solving situations, and unfortunately we need a lot of them, each for every little detail in the problem-solving situation at hand. If there is no relevant 'of-the-self' solution, we stall, as we have to make up one. That is where the associative side of our brain kicks in. Associative in the sense, that the brain has to perform new associations, re-arrange the already existing procedures in new ways so the solution sought, may come forth. In search for a viable solution-alternative to deal with a problem. Something that might take place by a neuron synapse bout in the brain.

The human mind is a precious commodity, an invaluable asset for each single individual, for the individual's sake as well as for humanity at large, to be so callously wasted by societies, dominated by capitalist ideals. Where everything boils down to make money.

Chaos will provide the ways to truly lead humanity, to where its goal lies. It only needs a furtive look in the variety of fractal landscapes emerging, when chaos is at work. That chaos provides.

And all are made possible by tweaking, imperceptibly at times, a few crucial parametres, the essence of sensitive dependence on initial conditions at work.

Likewise by tweaking the relevant parametres, societies adhere to, a new world will emerge out of the rich variety of worlds possible, a world at which every individual, no-one excluded, will be at its centre.

Empowered individual and privilege-built societies incompatible forces, lead to societies of empowered individuals.

Threads that contributed to these thoughts

- What powers the rise of emergent properties?
- Mutually exclusive!!!!

Human societies evolve in the framework established by the incompatible forces initiated by the empowered individual against the resistance offered by societies tightly in the grip of a handful of individuals. Societies that are built upon the principle of bestowing ample privilege to a few of its individuals amidst them.

The more the individual becomes empowered the lesser the grip of the handful of individuals in the reign of human societies.

Empowered individual and privilege-built societies incompatible forces deterministically develop chaotic considerations that lead to the emergence of societies of empowered individuals.

Empowering individuals

empowering individuals .... instead of treating them like mindless peons,

systems built (along the lines) (their only purpose) squeezing them to their very limits to fend for themselves ... and in return offering dubious rewards

skin-deep, superficial, ephemeral ... to quench a thirst ... the brain and the mind they built, its purpose cannot be fulfilled by accounting practices ... getting rich, being a millionaire ... rendering effectively useless

where all that everyone needs, is already there

where all that he needs and all that is needed is already there, but (its) or access blocked by ... the very system with artificial mechanisms (laws, rules, and legislation) the monetisation framework

built along the principle that (its only outcome) channels the use and ... of the goods produced unequally among individuals, money (profits or something else).. to the few excluding the many.

... laws, rules and legislation


an intricate network ... woven around the principle of making money

advertising, public relations, media all deep entrenched in a horde of useless activities that have pinned down an inappropriate amount of individuals, in search for monetary values


a loaf of bread is kept out of reach of the starving individual as it is against the rules (of monetisation)

its fervent advocates will defend such an act, as they claim, will tear the fabric of society

is such society worth saving? Rules and legislation that treat individuals as scum separates individuals into worthy and unworthy

is it worth saving, and if, what for?
