@FvckY0u Possible. But are the elites controlling the corporations, or are the corporations controlling them. And remember the elites may work within capitalism, socialism, corporations and nations, but those are all things that were invented centuries ago, by people long dead. A member of an elite may want to be rich, famous and powerful, but where did they get the idea that it is good to be rich famous and powerful from ?

In fact we have not invented anything new for a century or more, in the human social spheres. Nationalism, socialism, communism, feminism, colonialism, spiritualism, capitalism, theism, are all ideas that existed in the nineteenth century, or even before. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries scientific and technical advances, began to offer easy increases in production and the blinding impression of vast amazing progress, or at least within their spheres. But did we at that point, stop thinking about anything else, and start to think that that was the only form of progress ?

@FvckY0u Yes of course all of that is true. But the question is, why do the elites even think that there is anything to be gained from being members of elites, or that what they get is a gain ?

@FvckY0u Let us all know if you come up with a realistic way for everyone to live without having to work, buy food and basic commodities, pay utility bills and rent/mortgage, paying taxes, etc.

@FvckY0u Ah, but the motivation is important, because there is a lot of evidence, both scientific and sociological, that being richer does not make you any happier. Indeed beyond a certain point there is evidence that it has the reverse effect. (Though education, which you can buy, may be helpful.) Why then do the elites always want to acquire ever more wealth ? Because like most other people, they are trapped in a culture, and in a culture which tells them that wealth is good, and acquiring more of it the only way forward. They are therefore as much culture victims as the rest of us..

@FvckY0u So am I, it is only a delusion that they are free agents and truly in control even of their own minds, anymore than anyone else is..

@FvckY0u Yes I agree, all I am saying is that the elite are in turn being controlled in their turn by the power of inherited culture, which is a power beyond even their control.

@FvckY0u One day if you like, and I have time, I will write you an explanation of my position, which should at least amuse you. But I am sorry I am too busy right now.

@FvckY0u With that I can not help, since I have a deep and meaningful relationship with. “I don't know.”

If you have time, let me tell you a story.

On an autumn day I have been walking in the woods and hills, through light mist and watery sunlight. As the day draws to an end I walk a long low ridge over the village, drying grass fades to dormancy towards winter, and thin smoke rises as people light their fires. I experience a feeling of great joy, and the feeling that it is a joy in the autumn that I have felt before, many times, going way back. In fact the feeling feels so old and deep that I sense that it reaches beck centuries into former lives, and the moods of all those who felt a joy in the relaxing of autumn. I also feel that my consciousness is aware of the cosmos as a whole, or at least that it connects me, as I relax towards evening, with the relaxing of all the life around me into autumn.

Have I had a spiritual experience ? Or has the the exercise released chemical endorphins into my brain, and has the constant stimulation of exploring nature, stimulated my imagination to a dream like state ? “I don't know.”

And it does not matter that I don't know. Because it is enough to have had the experience.

Did I learn anything, other than to value experiences ? “I don't know.” And that does not matter either. Because if I have connected with some greater than human consciousness, then it will decide if it has a message or not for me, and if it has, then its message is. “Value the experience.” While if I have not, then. “Value the experience.” is my message for myself, it makes no difference either way.

So my happy relationship with. “I don't know.” Continues to grow, and if there is wisdom to be had at all then it is in valuing “I don't know.” as the greatest of all jewels. Because I don't know is the only wisdom, which can never be false, can never get between you and the experience, can never block your exploring, never give you false values, or be a final dead end.

@FvckY0u My life is filled with awareness, joy and understanding endlessly, don't worry.
