Hi! In the previous essay I put forth a solution for hate as it exists today. In this essay the thesis is that hate cannot be fully addressed in competitive environments and we need mesh society to move forward.
Capitalist dogma states human nature is fundamentally motivated by competition, without evidence.
Yet, capitalism has only been with use a few short 250 years. However, capitalists and their dogma portrays capitalism as some eternal, permanent human nature. Capitalism would have us all believe humans must compete to survive. This is just gaslighting. Society is far and away based upon mutual cooperation. Competition is anti-cooperation.
Competition = greed = hierarchy. Capitalists are naive Utopians in that they present competition as “may the best person win” when capitalism is implemented as cheating and gaming the system. The best cheater wins. That’s capitalism.
Capitalism like religion thrives because there exists enough good faith actors to make the system appear believable in its propaganda about what it is. Until it doesn’t. We are seeing diminishing good-faith actors in corporate America these days. Same is true of religion.
Competition and its twin greed are thoughtless, inevitable characteristics of hierarchy. Empires and kingdoms mindlessly and continuously declared wars on each other due to greed of resources. As long as hierarchy is the dominant form of social organization for all things human we will never cooperate at any level large enough to tackle problems like climate change. Capitalism has peaked at its social cooperation capability.
We must have the courage to dispense with hierarchy, greed and competition. We most demand ever greater levels of cooperation in order to address global problems like climate change.
The essay I wrote about merchants of hate included a limited solution for stopping hate. Today’s MAGA movement and hatred is decreasing cooperation levels previously attained. The solution put forth though will never increase cooperation levels. For that we need mesh society.
Mesh society has no foundational competition requirement. A mesh node, or micro-governing organization (MGO), is only ever combined with other mesh nodes horizontally to accomplish projects. In some sense a mesh node is a worker and the project a job. There is no management. The project is considered an experiment with expected results. The design of the project is expected to meet the results. If not the project is disbanded. This is maximum effort with no wasted energy on competition, greed, or hierarchy.
