Misaligned Structures
Responsive Vimeo Video
Our current civilization
  • Is misaligned with advancement and with the true interests of the people
  • In the beginning I thought civilization empowers people in their own pursuits
  • So everyone can participate in improving civilization. But that is not the case
  • Instead people are fundamentally misguided. All current systems in the world have an incentive to keep people small and powerless with the goal of maintaining the current power structures. People are not told the truth
  • Most education systems treat people not like unique individuals but as objects on an assembly line that need to fit into one of the moulds/careers. Not letting people stay curious, aspire for the truth, think independently and come up with their own better ways of doing things
  • These systems purposefully demolish the power of humans
  • Wasting important resources for our civilization. Instead of letting people follow their own natural curiosity and build on their ideas. And letting the free market decide what is best
  • Merit and free speech is undermined. People are not told the truth
  • We don’t have true democracies. Governments don’t do what people want
  • You can’t trust mainstream media, as it misleads and fundamentally lies
  • Governments let people in that cause chaos, destruction and spread weakness
  • Every year we have more and more regulations that hinder society’s progress
  • These structures are obviously not in the best interest of the people. These fundamentally misaligned structures ripple through society and create very negative effects
Negative effects
  1. Thinking independently and trying to be most useful is not considered to be cool
  2. It is not celebrated to start new companies and come up with new and better ways
  3. People unite more over issues than over good things. They want you to have issues
  4. Inside, people feel unfulfilled and they have lost the light beam they had as a child
  5. Kids are discouraged from the beginning from using their mind and thinking critically
  6. People have more power at their fingertips than ever before, but don’t use it
  7. As a result world economic growth has been negative for years (inflation adjusted)
  8. Human intelligence is falling rapidly and people are getting fewer and fewer kids
  9. People engage more and more in entertainment rather than doing the right thing
What we need to do
  1. We have to be careful with everything that is anti-free speech or anti-meritocratic
  2. We have to be careful with centralised, top down structures
  3. We have to be careful with everything that is trying to control us
  4. We have to be careful with everything that is designed to make us incapable
  5. Build your own understanding that is based in truth. Always try to do the right thing
  6. Rewire your brain and improve your worldview based on new information
  7. There is always a chance your current programming is not in your best interest
  8. We have to move towards more independence and more transparent systems that are in the best interests of the people
