PREFACE
Humanity has always had an instinctive liking for the mighty and powerful. Majority of humanity still worships heroism of forceful individuals who wield the might, to control everything, by any means. That is probably why, human history never ever had shortage of individuals who showed brazen will to conquer the world, rule it by might, had the strength of force to annihilate anything, which resisted their diktat. Rather, the golden prerogative of history writing and history monopolizing were restricted in the hands of the mighty.
However, even the mightiest of human colossal, in the long history of humanity, feared only one thing – The Question; even simple, innocuous and straight question; the Question of Ultimate Reason!
As a matter of universal rule, mightier an individual gets, more he fears questioning; the logic and reason behind realism. This fear emanates out of the universal causality of reality that power and authority comes out of series of successes one has and every success is a complex conglomeration of hypocrisies, often forceful, which an individual piles up to be successful. The mighty and great is usually sitting on top of a Mountain of Hypocrisies with a glittering but slippery Crown on his head. Almost every mighty individual knows; sometimes not, that he owes it to hypocrisies; well mounted and authoritatively persevered. People, in general, even though in acknowledgment of the hypocrisies, somehow feel elated to extend their mandate to the mighty, to lend solace to their own entrenched yet unfulfilled greed for power.
There is a science behind this and we are talking about all these here. Knowledge of Reality and its theatre of expression – the human consciousness, is science and we have it all here…
The mighty and great fears nothing but the Question of Reason, as it has the mightier potential of exposing his hypocrisies and thus shaking the high platform of Legitimacy of his might and the dubious Mandate for it. Questions have the scary potential to Unseat the Crown from the head of the mighty and his legitimacy reign. And therefore, the mighty individual has no choice but to kill the question; ultimately the questioner, at the first instance! Wisdom, the Knowledge of Reality, is intimidating for those, who profiteer from the empire of ignorance. And usually, therefore, the weapon of annihilation is nothing else but Hypocrisy. Ultimately comes, the sword or the barrel of the gun! It has to; supremacy of organized violence is mandate unto itself! Calamitously enough, even this gets the Mandate of what is proverbially accepted as People! We know how the predator of humanity rules over the prey!
As humanity evolved and progressed into institutionalized and organized life-living, the transcendental role and mantle of killing the question of reason as well as the questioner itself shifted to authoritative institutions and big organizations in 21st century. The biggest and mightiest of all institutions and organizations is now the state power, the authority of governments, its agencies and politics, in collusion and nexus with big corporations; often ‘legitimately mandated’ by people. The state and governments are the mightiest aggregators of the conglomeration of hypocrisies and therefore they now dread the question of logic and reason the most. They are the mightiest annihilators of questions and questioners in 21st century world of humans.
This Is No More A Secret, Wrapped In Silvery Drape Of Golden Hypocrisies. There are sufficient and categorically factual data and written texts now available in public domain for anyone to check and be sure; as if the empirical evidences all around us are not enough!
And, what is this single, simple and straight-forward question that every mighty individual or even the mightiest state and governments are terribly scared of and out to kill? The simple question; the parentage of all questions, since thousands of years is – ‘What Happened To Human Dignity?’
The simple yet transcendental question is – why every organization at successive stages of human evolution up to civilized life-living, eventually meant annihilation of individual dignity? Why every success of humanity effectually compromised the primary need of Human Dignity? Why individual delegation of authority to organized collectivity, for his or her welfare, finally turned out to be the assassins of individual dignity itself? Why the actual and real sovereign, the common people, who ‘contracted’ and ‘delegated’ the collectivity to protect him or her and lead to security of life, eventually got robbed and eliminated by the same collectivity? Why the average man and woman now stand at the mercy of state and governments to pray against his or her ‘culpability’, which is essentially a gift of the collectivity itself? It shall be unfair if the question is not added as why the crony group of people, who benefitted from the power-patronage, pulled their mass and energy behind the mighty in suppressing average people?
The questions have always been there, since humans started to lead a settled life and primary elements of leadership and institution began to take shape. This basic, minimal and elemental question of Human Dignity is seeded with so many subsidiary questions that it potentials a major threat to all power and authoritative structures, as they have the embedded potential to challenge and overthrow the hypocritical legitimacy they enjoy. It happens because the very nature of success of power enterprise stands antithetical to the situation of grassroots practicality of Human Dignity. The success of authority cultivation and harvesting cannot happen without seeding, planting and maturing of hypocrisies. As hypocrisies thrive and energize power structures, logic and reason stand hugely compromised. As reason is compromised, question of Human Dignity is the first thing that stands to get brutally slaughtered at the feet of the mighty and great. For the mighty and crowned, this is the ultimate joy they cannot resist!
In the 21st century, as the third decade unfolds, these questions stand valid and have strong ground and need for real and true answers as they are no more shrouded in abstractions and dualism of philosophies and social sciences. Rather, they now have the rooted basis in the science, the Modern Contemporary Science of Reality, which thankfully includes the Reality of Humanity – the Human Consciousness, Cognition and Causalities; leaving nothing much to abstractions of past centuries that engendered, persevered and thrived the hypocrisies. Moreover, contemporary science and critical technologies have empowered common men and women enough to challenge the structured and institutionalized hypocrisies, stupidities and mediocrities of politics and governments. Nothing should now exist and prolong as a probability, which stands in contravention to scientifically proven Reality-Test. Stupidities and hypocrisies of the past must pass the eligibility-test of the contemporary benchmarks of objective and holistic science of Reality. We are doing it right here.
Interestingly, all roads to power and authority branch off from the very question of the welfare and empowerment of the individual human being. From the petty tribal leader or head priest of a small group ten thousand years back to the 21st century democratic welfare state, every power and authority structure derived its legitimacy from the people it presided over and ruled. The biggest human hypocrisy has been this situation that the individual was and still is hailed as the real and true sovereign and yet, never ever any power and authority structure ensured the universal bare basics of Human Dignity. It is because by very nature and instinctive positioning, power is a deviant characteristic, in not only human mechanism of consciousness, rather in all higher organisms. It is always positioned to annihilate liberty, equality and fraternity, which are essential elements for Human Dignity. Power and authority engenders a ‘Mutual-Profitability-Plexus’, which finally corrodes and eats away all checks and balances that are put in place in modern governances to keep power rationalized and responsible. The nexus, which human ingenuity creates for survival-sustenance that the human brain is innately designed for, has no parallel in living world.
There have been numerous philosophical hypotheses, which have been advanced and installed to back the stupidities and hypocrisies behind the initiation and continuation of power and authority over masses, in the name of their betterment. We shall peripherally deal with all such stupid philosophies in this eBook but, shall essentially detail how contemporary modern science of Reality and Human Consciousness makes them archaic, obsolete and even dangerous.
For example, there is a deep philosophy to legitimize subjugation of individuals by authority structures of state and its institutions, which says, human intelligence of ingenuity for selfish personal righteousness can never be trusted as objectively rational. The hypocritical logic is – the shrewdness of maneuverability of individual for selfish means and ends for personal profitability is always the instinctive populist intelligence of an individual and therefore, the individual human consciousness is always suspect, always required to be reined in. Moreover, the old and tested hypocrisy of ‘I Am Intelligent As All Others Are Ignorant’, has always backed the stupid and hypocritical logic for mandate to legitimacy of collective power-authority. This philosophy in its generic manifestation is ancient and was successfully installed to justify the huge hypocrisies of slavery and colonialism.
It is not entirely coincidental that power and authority has always either claimed to be the sole possessor of ‘intellect’ or has aligned the ‘intellectuals’ to their side. Most identity-based ethnic manipulations are rested on this hypocritical philosophy of archaic origin and obsolete worth, which presupposes ignorance and anarchic character of individual (ruled) and therefore automatically mandated to remain subservient to ‘higher intellect’ of oligarchic collectivity (rulers). The ‘White Man’s Burden’ for the so-called ‘welfare and uplift’ of ‘colored’ identities killed millions and annihilated the very semblance of individual human dignity for centuries. It still persists! It is like, one set of stupidities-hypocrisies getting mandate of legitimacy to rule over another set of stupidities-hypocrisies.
The state and its institutional authority draws its automatic mandate and legitimacy out of this ‘professed culpability’ of the instinctive stupidity of individual and not out of the much professed idealism of ‘delegation’ of power from the real sovereign of people to the state for welfare of the sovereign itself. Therefore, the state, governments and politics structures have always devised and designed ways to paint the common men and women (citizens) with one culpability or the other. The more people are in the jail or facing trials by different law and judicial agencies, more substantiated the legitimacy and mandate of the state, government and politics stand. The politics therefore makes the maneuvering and the governments respond by pushing more and more people on the wrong side of the law and authority. This is a 21st century global trend.
The so-called idealism behind the mighty authority and power of the state and its institution is the hypocritical welfare philosophy, which insists that as individual consciousness can never be objectively detached to his or her subjective preference for selfishness, it is always the Collective Consciousness of state and governance institutions, which can attain this objectivity for welfare of all; as if ‘collective’ is some entity bereft of ‘individuality’ of its constituents! Or, as if institutions automatically align individuals to sanity and rationality.
Surely enough, as we all know, this hypocritical idealism also prevailed for centuries, defining relationship between men and women as well as patriarch and children. The male world successfully persevered the dubious idealism of hypocritical welfare philosophy, akin to the infamous White Man’s Burden, where the males had the intellectual and cognate superiorities, therefore the ordained burden to rule over the females and also children for their own welfare! A stupid man, just because he had the semen to become a father, automatically qualified and became eligible overnight to decide on everything of his child! As, fatherhood automatically washes away all stupidities and makes a male automatically and instantly to qualify as the decider of everything of the family, similarly, a bunch of stupid and hypocritical people, when becoming a politician, qualify automatically and instantly to preside over a government and decide everything for the nation!
Does this stupidity and hypocrisy survive in 21st century world? Does this insane logic of innate superiority of legitimacy of patriarchy and politics fit into the 21st century age of scientific reason? No; we all know that it has very definitely begun to change in many developed, educated and empowered societies, where the patriarchal order and male chauvinism is giving way to rational and equitable system. The logic and reason of objective science alone is the basis of any Reality in contemporary world. Stupidities and hypocrisies of all shades of philosophies and psychologies have to go and they must.
The perceptible and blatantly explicit question is even if someone or something is superior or has the mandate for burden of supervision, how can and under what pretext, the inequality, suppression and violence by the so-called superior be justified and mandated? We live in a world where even a child’s innate rights are being accepted vis-à-vis parents and teachers, who are growingly being evolved not to use force, authority, aggression and subjugation behavior and actions against them. The gender sensitivity is now at the top of societal as well as political-economic agenda. The new millennium is re-defining the role of power and authority in family and society, with specific insistence on empathy, equitability and dignity. Human Dignity is the sole benchmark of righteousness and appropriateness of familial-societal milieus. In 21st century, evolved and empowered cultures are emphatically orienting themselves towards compassion. How come state, governments and politics not change and fall in sync and symmetry with this new paradigm shift in human reality?
The history of humanity clearly shows that the state and its institutions, especially in modern day welfare states in larger economies are far more calamitous agency of wrongs, irrationality and brutality than an individual or group of people can ever be. The stupidities of an average individual are so miniscule, localized and un-nexus-ed. However, the stupidities and irrationality of those handfuls; the repository of Organized Hypocrisies, who virtually run the state’s institutional authority, have wreaked havoc on the mankind and they threaten the very existence of humans on Earth, let alone this ubiquitous question of Human Dignity. It happened just because humanity could not design and devise reasonably sound checks and balances on power and authority structures and functions and till date, had no effective wherewithal to implement it perfectly. Humanity and its overdependence on philosophical perspectives could never create a design to check the ingenuities of nexus of oligarchic manipulations. They didn’t have the wherewithal. Contemporary science and modern technologies have it and 21st century can do it, what humanity could not since centuries. The Rogue elements of legitimate state, governments and politics can now be tamed. We now have the scientific Reason and the Wherewithal.
There is another element of government and politics, which has now become a huge scourge for average men and women. It is notoriously referred as the Deep State, which is essentially a ‘Personality’ or personalities, which the state power, government authority and politics often shapes into and orchestrates personalized agenda of ‘autocratic’ propensities within the façade of democratic structure of politics and governments. The modern manifestations of Deep State plexus are essentially ‘Illegitimate Progeny’ of legitimate and democratic authoritative structures, which politics fathers with well-marked intents. No Deep State insinuation can survive and flourish without tacit patronage of politics, even if they may get life sans politics. Some Deep State operators may be apolitical but it is for sure that all Deep State elements are essentially sourced and seeded out of legitimate authoritative structures; often Constitutional credentials; but have personal power-agenda, starkly different from avowed goal of people’s welfare. These Deep State operators are the worst culprits of assassination of Human Dignity. The Deep State essentially has transformed democracy and its idealisms only as paper reality; in turn enslaving the masses for their own ends. This Deep State reality needs to be understood in details later in this eBook as any semblance of restoration of sovereignty back to people shall have to deal with it and root out this modern menace, which has unleashed such crimes on humanity, which even devil and monster shall feel ashamed of. Tragically, most people even do not know anything about these.
In contemporary world realities, we can say with utmost conviction that an irrational and imbecile individual, or unorganized group of people, standing emaciated in contemporary world of powerful probabilities, is still a better choice than the powerful and instinctively autocratic and martial state, its governance institutions, politics and Deep State. The 21st century Reality, backed by empirical evidences as well as global data of facts, surely confirms this. Unorganized, randomly structured and powerless stupidities and hypocrisies are always preferable than organized, institutionalized and unlimited authoritative stupidities and hypocrisies!
This probably is the Question of Reason, which stands to plead that the Dignity of Human Being should now be assigned its original crown position. If the 21st century is the age of objective reason and scientific logic, then what better time to install the question and hoist it right on top of the Human Agenda. The contemporary age of excellence of human reason and potential for optimality of Human Dignity in all probable dimensions is definitely the right time when the individual, despite its historicity of ignorance, disempowerment, detachment and subjugation, can and should seek and ask, with support from all layers of reasoned intelligence in global human society – Give Me My Crown Back!
There is enough and categorically factual data of the historical evolution of the hypocrisies and stupidities of state and governments across the globe. The emerging reality of absolutist, irresponsive, oligarchic, clandestine and suppressive state and its institutions in the 21st century has enough substantive corroboration about politics and governance deviating far away from their professed roles, legitimacy and mandate. Given the contemporary oligarchic power structure of the politics-corporations nexus, with only a handful of billionaires owning majority of wealth, controlling international finances for profiteering at the rising cost of people’s dignity; even their lives, there is an evident and overt advocacy of a complete relook at politics, governance and economic mechanisms and processes. This advocacy however, is not philosophical or abstractly emotional – it is rather purely scientific. It is based on science of reality, which is the true 21st century wealth of humanity. It should be in public possession…
In 21st century world, the philosophy is definitely not the basis of this assertion of reaffirmation of individual and giving people the sovereignty back to restore their lost dignity. Rather, this is an expression of scientifically expansive and factual understanding of how people act and behave and how state and governance institutions organically evolve to become the demons of destruction of human dignity and human rights. It is the 21st century contemporary scientific understanding of Reality that slogans the call of ‘Give Me My Crown Back’ and not the abstract and utopian philosophies that coined and wasted the idealisms of humanism, jurisprudence and democratic rights of individuals.
The question of universal human dignity and reassertion of sovereignty of individual cannot anymore be the domain of social sciences and precarious thoughtfulness of intellectuals. It is rather a definitive territory of modern and contemporary science to prove it beyond any reasonable doubt that no contemporary model of state, politics and governance is appropriate and justified in contemporary world of Reality. Rather, they are archaic and obsolete and therefore brutal, clandestine and senseless. The very basis of contemporary models of representational democracy and even the classical idea of participative democracy are now obsolete and redundant, given the state of technologies in contemporary societies and the innate and embedded entropies in the very genetics of institutional and organizational power-authority structures and functionality.
There also seems no necessity of any global movement and rallying point for this assertion of the question of human dignity and restoration of sovereignty of individual. There is no need of any abstraction of semantics like ‘Re-Renaissance’, ‘Neo-Humanism’ and ‘Neo-Individualism’, etc as this 21st century question of human dignity and call for ‘Give Me My Crown Back’ has the logical, reasoned and rational basis, structured by the modern knowledge of extracting irreversible scientific evidences through measurable and verifiable mathematical methodology as well as technological feasibility. Also, the very mechanism and process of Giving The Crown Back is already provisioned in the contemporary political-constitutional structures acceptable globally. The 21st century just needs a collective conscious ‘shift’ towards the avowed goal.
The question of Human Dignity and its logical and consequential adjunct, the reassertion of sovereignty of individual now has everything suitable and right for its installation in human world. Contemporary human milieu has the physical as well as intellectual suitability, backed by objective science and high precision technologies to dethrone the contemporary politics, current stupidities of state and oligarchic governance and give people back their crown position as sovereign of their own management.
It has to be categorically emphasized that question of Human Dignity in 21st century shall also not be based on the abstract idealism of classical Humanism, which essentially stands as denial of the scientific factuality about innate human consciousness. It won’t bank on the fallacious hypothesis of an individual knowing what is good and right for him. Rather, it would accept that human body-mind mechanism, which creates consciousness, is essentially, innately and until trained well, reactionary, stupid, hypocritical, selfish and aggressive. The 21st century pragmatism of Human Dignity shall rather invest in scientific factuality about the educational and training requirements of different individuals with specially designed knowledge dispensation methodologies. It shall accept human stupidities-hypocrisies; personal as well as collective and then proceed onto delegate responsibilities of education and training to scientists, rather than believe in and delegate power and authority to a bunch of another set of same stupidities-hypocrisies in politics and governments. It shall believe in educating and training of individuals to understand Reality in its Holism and lead their own welfare and empowerment, rather than foolishly hoping that state and governments would do it for them. Naturally, this shall require a very critical element of ‘Integration’ of different domains of collective human knowledge, which is hugely missing now. We talk about it later.
All these realities we shall discuss in two parallel streams in this eBook. First is the detailed deliberation of stupidities, hypocrisies and calamitous consequences of current politics, stupidities of state and oligarchic governance systems, along with the nexus with economic structures and practices they have sustained since decades to destroy the dignity and sovereignty of individual, making life hell for him or her. Secondly, there is elaboration of the scientific-objective basis of people rule and de-empowerment of state-governments in 21st century. In the light of irrefutable objective logic of modern science about Reality, Human Consciousness and Cognitive science et al, we shall prove how and why the true sovereign, the people Must Get Its Crown Back and for what novel, true and right purposes. All futilities and utilities, all rights and wrongs, all good and bad etc shall be decided and installed on the basis of modern contemporary Science Of Reality, nothing else!
There shall also be details of the possible alternative model of politics, governance, administration and economic prudence that need to be put in place, replacing the current dispensations to install Human Dignity and sovereignty of individual. We talk about them in broad principles as small details can always be filled in, depending upon requirements at grassroots levels of operations. However, the most difficult part of the eBook shall be, ‘How To Go About It’. But we shall try… and, we may succeed if you all align with the idea and lend support to it. Do step in for a novel experience and experiment, welcome…
