We are In This Together
-But Not As We Think

We are liable to frame in terms of presumed agency in polarised conflict rather than self-interest running under social/cultural dictates manifesting as ‘technological convergence’.

The degree to which we are framed in and draw identity from our ‘tools’ – which includes systems of tooling, is the degree to which the drive of ‘progress’ is not only inevitable, but inescapable in terms of progressive compounding of debt-conflicts as the driving force against system failure, which to its adaptive personality, means extinction or total breakdown.

By destructive and cannibalistic plunder, our world becomes the dictate and demand for sacrifice set against breakdown of the social masking order – which is a usurping of communication & exchange in shared worth or value. IE: A rigged, corrupt or false ‘order’ masking in manipulation of appeals for sympathy – such as ‘Caring’ MUST comply or be cancelled.

Questioning our social identity-masking as cultural foundation does not come easy to us as we all have more of a stake in the established order that is in fact active, regardless our various presentations or takes on it in terms that invariably reflect our own particular and collective fears & defences.

Questioning what social order is and does is generally framed by the intent to define in order to predict and control. Such as to rationalise and justify core assumptions.

The ‘insider’ establishment aligned in seeking to shape social change by sowing cultural narratives (the mass mind) to drive philosophical, economic and regulatory structures of control that effectively train and condition a social mindset of a largely covert dependency within externalised system of arbitrarily adjustable life support. Ostensibly the means to protect against risk, operate the toolset by which to pre-emptively ‘create’ order by incentivised (coercive) controls.

We are all in it together insofar as we align in the roles of a self-reinforcing conflict-driven pain-giving futility (regardless how fervent our hope or belief that THIS time will be different – or THIS issue is different).
Recognising a futility, meaninglessness or self defeating pattern of thought & behaviour is where FREEDOM to release it for a more truly aligned expression of integral being can extend as with-ness and worth-ship to Life rather than claim and counterclaims to the rights of title to judge or define what Life is or ‘should be’.

We are also all in and of Life – whatever Life is the being or unfolding of, can be experienced in infinitely different ways, but in judgement set over and apart from Life we generate or invoke an alien will – unlike and contra to a nature we frame unworthy. fallen, broken, lacking ‘immunity’ to risk, challenge and adaptive growth and in need of machinery or technology of external ‘support, control, upgrade and replacement.

I simply sketch out a view from where I live.
We think we know we live IN a body IN a physical world.
But look at the dissociating disembodiment of a mind-set that thinks to know.
Active ignorance is given power to run as guide and protector.
Thinking that operates without a truly grounded reference point can seek and find circular reinforcements by which to bring forth strange fruit (evils framed and projected as autonomous or irrevocably & necessarily defining life in its terms).

The winding up of false or limited/limiting thinking runs out of time and space. Both of which can be used to mask and distance, as to reveal the Extension of an embrace we do not and can not manufact.
