Why War? Summary / Part B

 The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking.

― Albert Einstein


Raise the Value of Independent Thinking


Our main problem is the inability to think. 

Thinking


Thinking is work, and like any job skill, it needs to be developed.




However, the value of independent philosophy, free media houses, ideas, and creativity, even in the most developed countries, is catastrophically low. Conversely, the value of material things increases all the time.

Mass thinking


As a result, we have mass thinking, easily amenable to propaganda.

The big media are attacking tiny independent companies. Looking for flaws, they create unbearable living conditions for them, forcing open-minded competitors to leave the market. And who is behind this, we can only guess.

You can say “no, this is definitely not about my democratic country”, but you have to be honest with yourself - the label “democratic” does not necessarily guarantee 100% transparency and humanity.

Freedom of speech


The worst scenarios are presented in countries with limited human rights, where freedom of speech is persecuted. People there can be fined, imprisoned, and even killed for independent thinking.

Greek Philosophers


Thousands of years ago, Greek philosophers wandering their country taught people in live forums and lectures, encouraging the audience to think, ask and answer questions.

You will say: "But now we live in a different time, we have Internet forums where anyone can create a topic." True, but these forums lack philosophical focus and meaning.

The value of philosophy must be raised


We must raise the value of independent philosophy. 

Vedas


The improvement can be started, for example, with:

  • Public and private grants (or other support) for:
    • Novels, films, TV-series about self-improvement
  • Interactive Q&A on the topic "Who am I?
  • Implementation of Meditation* Practice


*Note:  Meditation is not only a great tool to purify the human mind, but also a powerful tool for treating mental disorders.


Prevention of abuse of political power


Old-fashioned elections

At present, even in the "most" democratic countries, political elections are ineffective, expensive, and old-fashioned.

As a rule, only about 50-60% of all voters take part in political elections, guided either by the promises of a particular candidate ( party) or by a general trend.  According to statistics, the majority of voters are 18-year-olds and pensioners, i.ะต. the least work-active people.

The financing of a political candidate (party) is crucial, because the greater the marketing potential, the more attractive this or that candidate is to voters.

In this model, voters passively choose a program or a representative of the program, which is compiled by someone else but not by themselves. And the amount of investment in a candidate has a direct impact on the election results.


Impact of High-tech

In a truly democratic country, the master plan for the economy, politics, etc. must be determined by the people themselves.

Access to the Internet and the widespread use of mobile devices provide ample opportunities for all social groups to participate in the strategic planning of their country. For this purpose, you can use a multiple-choice questionnaire that does not require much time to complete.


Interactive feedback

To fine-tune the country's strategic movement, it is necessary to establish interactive feedback that could also work as a cumulative one.


Limitation of presidential power

To avoid abuse of power, the president of a country should be hired on the basis of a merit list or resume, such as in a business corporation.

To maintain efficiency and prevent political dictatorship, the term of presidential office should be limited to 6-8 years.

The salaries of top politicians should be based on the final result of their work, and not on an advance payment based on the results of the elections. Wages can be equal, for example, to the country's GDP per capita with an annual bonus equal to a certain percentage of GDP growth.

To avoid the temptation of fame and relaxing luxury in the political environment, the parliament buildings should be modest and indistinguishable from other houses around.

The environment should motivate politicians to serve their people, and not weave intrigues, trying by hook or by crook to prolong their stay in the palaces.

Support for independent media & philosophers

It's no secret that running a country with copy-paste public opinion is much easier than following the path of enlightened visionaries.

Just a few decades ago in China, Russia, Cambodia, etc. there were "cultural revolutions" with the death of millions of highly educated people.  Ideological murders continue in our time in favor of the ruling dictators...

The primary goal of the dictator is to embrace his own people with his brutalized consciousness, in order to then spread it on a global scale under the leadership of his Owner - Satan.
