Hey, its a problem in need of attention. Everyone who has ever been in Europe and seen that "American family" busy customer-ing their culture knows how much appeal it has. Please, do not sign up. For mercy sake, save all of us the trauma of just that one little choice... to not fall in the trap of believing that all of life is a customer opportunity.
Its not.
What we have going on here... on this planet, is much more than that. We have a tremendous engineering challenge taking place, and we have basic struggles for life, liberty and the general welfare kind of pursuit of happiness, let alone prosperity. They exist on the same planet at the same time.
Customers receive that which is provided. The size of aggregate demand is not a weapon or a tool to be wielded by immature motivation... it is Our great authority, resting squarely on the shoulders of each of us as Individual Humans. For this reason, "We the People" must understand what folly is being made when we believe that our personal Sovereign authority can reside in any representative administration system without our direct Human authority.
Digital networks can be REALLY efficient and powerful.
If you let control of that resource from your direct Human authority, by whatever customer contract you so willingly (and blindly) click, you will be ridiculed by history forever. The Human Individual is not to be tampered with... "We the people" are the engineered outcome where engineering must occur. The nature of our choice to authoritatively self-represent our activities in any and all socio-economic contexts is directly related to the Freedoms and Justice that lives in any Society under temporal constraints.
Give your authority away... to an automated system... to an administration system... and you ALWAYS lose eventually. Any gains that are made by our willingness to be mis-represented as Individuals for efficiency sake, are more than disposed of by time's effect upon the value of our intent in every socio-economic construct. When we allow ourselves to be structured by the system, we empower the system in ways that eventually deny our own self-empowerment as people.
Labor laws are one such example; constructed to create opportunities for corporations to manufacture jobs, people are mis-represented as owned assets under the authority of others in ways that give increased powers to the system and its artificial legally living entities (corporations). As W2/W4 employees, payment of taxes is automated to the administrative system gathering authority PRIOR to receipt of personal income. A critical step in the dis-empowerment of Individuals takes place at this very step, willingly by the customers of jobs.
Conversely, owners of responsibility structurally and administratively do it exactly opposite.
Ownership is absolute, and it is an undeniable force in this world. It is also a meaningless word when the differences in use are all displayed openly for inspection. Do not let yourself get confused... it is this diversity of meaning while maintaining concise Terms of leverage that make "OWNERSHIP" such an important word and outcome. Ownership of Human capacity, output and hope is an infinite well with very real monetary value... so much, in fact, that you can rule the world with it.
This is the great "Individual Opportunity" that is happening on the internet.
We are witnessing the great struggle and strategic wrangling of Nations, companies, legal systems, media systems, education systems, political systems, marketing systems, every administrative system on this planet and any other we can network with... to own "Individual Opportunity" and distribute it.
Customers of this opportunity will destroy it before those of you who believe that you are personally Sovereign and responsible for the outcomes of your home, your community with others, your Nations as a Society of the willing, and the entire world made of Individuals of every type engaged in social activity in groups and in solitude can engineer it into a more productive form. Customers create a context that robs all of us of the very thing that makes our species matter. Customers deny themselves the opportunity to be free, secure and Sovereign.
Ask Palestinians how much it means to have Sovereign authority if you don't understand. Ask the American Indians... oh wait.
Anyone who is denied their Sovereign Rights knows the value of Sovereign Rights. Anyone who has ever fought a war knows where Sovereign Rights come from, and why they exist. After the fighting ends, then you realize how they come to persist. Individuals stand Society up. Each of us, none denied. Customers of Rights... customers of opportunities... not so much.
So when I look at the sorry state of American Sovereignty in the year 2014, and I see how it is being lost/squandered/looted/abused by systemic intent, I guess I Agree... lets get rid of this model of mis-represented Sovereignty.
The internet has exposed a new and more direct model of Sovereign authority. Why would we persist the one we have which is clearly inferior at responding to actual Human will? Especially if you are a young person... why would you pay the debts of your grandparents when that was clearly their responsibility. Why would you support the extreme consumerism habits of your parents when their debts have looted the wealth of your Society? Why would you not follow Thomas Jefferson's sage advice and re-construe Sovereign authority under Generational Terms?
Young people... our future... is personally owned by Individuals.
Direct administration of your Rights and responsibilities is the hand the strong will deal themselves, and equality will begin when our infrastructure deals everyone in with these same default Terms of empowerment. Remember, we own legal instruments in order to protect personal leverage and value, not only to package liability exposure. We each live in the same real world where risk yields rewards, until it does not. Invention and creative risk taking is the currency of progress, a gift from a sentient philosophy and origin of belief that will never extinguish itself.
Our manifest destiny as a Human species, and any Society willing, is to own our possibilities as Individual Human children... and to never see that Right vanquished from the face of the Earth. Customers are an affront to this outcome, an abuse of opportunity propagated by beliefs that should be extinguished. No matter how hard customers push for that which they want, aggregating demand at whatever scale they might for a time and purpose, they will NEVER control the outcome... and will always settle for "good enough". Only the personal owner among you will persist, denying all other cries to settle for "good enough", working directly until the job is done to his or her satisfaction... because she can... she owns herself.
Do not allow yourself to be a customer of Government... you cede freedom and security.
Do not allow yourself to be a customer of WalMart... you are the owner of your market.
Give yourself the respect you want...it will never be given to you.
Own Yourself.
Claim personal Sovereign source authority for yourself.
Help is happening.
