So I get a thrill out of revealing the obvious and watching fierce opposition from those who sold out their truths for greater social acceptance, money, power, control, etc.
Going back to the map is not the terroritory theory ....
People make a map which is how they see the world.
This map is inheriently flawed. Since the world is too complex to be represented on a simple map.
These "maps" decide what people do. International policy etc.
Most people never sold out anything. How can you sell an illusion
Well i guess you can, the USA gov't is issuing T-Bills and are telling people it is a safe investment, and so far they are succeeding
The post where i made the comment allong the lines that Steve Jobs by all accounts is a paranoid control freak.
The response was very interesting.
Ironically it was viewed that these qualities in a leader are "negative".
It is because of these qualities of Job that apple became a success in the first place. When a company is young, the leader has to make sure things get done.
But later on what where qualities which where benificial, they begin to be a liability.
People are mentally lazy, changing their mental maps requires energy. And will not change unless forced to.
Mental maps are a paradox. They can be extremely resilient, but at the same time extremely fragile. Take for example the US dollar. Fuk all is backing it up. USA is a zillion dollar in debt. Yet majority of people still believe in it. But when things are in this state, it is like a bunch of snow piled up on a mountain. All of a sudden someone sneezing, 1 snow flake, can cause an avalanche. All of a sudden the map is destroyed, and thier illusion is destroyed.
