Hi all Today it is one year since Breivik freaked out in Norway and killed 77 innocent people. Only a few days ago another guy killed 12 and injured many more in Denver.
Wilhelm Reich anticipated this behaviour in his book from 1948, "Listen, Little Man!": "You are afraid of life, Little Man, deadly afraid. You will murder it in the belief of doing it for the sake of "socialism," or "the state," or "national honor," or "the glory of God." I happened to write something about this in my book as a practical experience of the MOQ levels. An analysis of this kind maybe could be helpful to find a way out. My contribution is only an example based on the MOQ: "Pirsig found that there was a new level arising from the biological. A new level using the biological level in the same way as the biology uses and is dependent on the physical inorganic level. Social strategies appeared on Earth that use the biological life for its own purposes. Bees, ants, herds of antelopes, fish shoals and humans. Group strategies that benefit from the biological level but in a new way. A field of grass can be regarded as a group strategy to survive better in the face of football players. There are always a few plants that survive and can pass on the genes. Bees and ants have members in their society with different roles that can cooperate. In a social network and society, it is no longer important that all are similar copies. In social strategies there are different roles and there is a decisive advantage with these differences. Social strategies can’t exist without the biology but the biological level can exist without the social.” “So that is the basis for human society. Social strategies and the founding of networks, tribes, societies and nations. When they make war on each other it is at the biological competitive level. When people try to build a federation because it offers a better economy than war, then it is social behaviour.” “Bravo! You are getting it fast!” “Well it is not so special, is it? Most of this ought to be known already?” “I am not so sure about that. In school shootings the victims use biological strategies. They run like stupid chickens and every individual becomes an easy target. If they instead stick together and act socially they can overrun the villain in seconds. Some will be shot but the more will survive and the loony is definitely the loser. I’d rather die for and together with my friends than alone and abandoned in a hole. “Most people want to join working life but they have to compete to be part of it. There is competition for jobs, celebrity, for positions within the social level. Many are put aside and forced to be poor and homeless even if they still are doing their very best. People should have the right to be weak. Anyone should have the right to be proud of his membership in the social level. Regardless of position." excerpt from Money and the Art of Losing Control, ch 12 Yesterday my wife said at breakfast regarding the right to wear arms: "If people's got the right to wear arms then they should have the right to a free and private shrink also."
