“The sky is Purple”
With understanding that opinions can be wrong and/or people can disagree with opinions, I would like to offer one now…
“The sky is Purple”
When you look at the sky on a clear day, what color is it? If you say “blue” you are most mistaken, for that was an answer in the Old Times. In the New Times, the answer varied upon what the dominant wind says the answer should be. If the dominant wind says the sky is “purple”, you say “purple”. If the dominant wind says the sky “green”, you say “green”. If the dominant wind says the sky is “polka dotted”, you say “polka dotted”. Your answer based upon what the dominate wind says the answer should be.
What is the dominant wind you ask? The dominant wind is the dominant society view in society; it is the view that has power, the view that has strength. The view that gives rewards to those who answer correctly; and punishes those who answer wrong. The dominant wind may come from economic, political, or whatever source it may be – but it is the view on top, the view that has power. The dominant wind is the society viewpoint that the strongest at the time.
You may find the following skills useful in the New Times.
*Able to identify the dominate wind
*Give the correct answer of what the dominate wind says the answer should be
*Alert enough to know when the dominant wind changes
*Change your answer to match what the new dominant wind says the answer should be
*Forget old answers; old answers based upon old dominant winds; if challenge, say the old answers were “false”, “your responses were falsified” or something similar.
(You need to change your answers fast and with certainty).
Some features of the New Times
In competition for political (economic, social) power may have the following features:
*Attack, Attack, Attack – your best defense is the offense. You attack the person on everything. Attack the person enough that the person destroyed. If the person able to withstand the attacks, attack the person close connections – family, friends, close acquaintances – attack until the opponent destroyed and squashed.
*Government serves the dominant wind –government serves the dominant wind. Government regulations, ideas, funding, facts, investigations all serve the dominant wind. Everything in the government services the new dominant wind including weather reports, economic data, medical data, history – everything.
When a new dominant wind dominates government, government services adjust to the new dominant wind. All old ideas related to the old dominant winds are false.
*Marketing slogans are important in the New Times – Long discussion of complex policies and procedures are such Old Times – in the New Times we create marketing slogans – simple easy to remember marketing slogans – pick a few effective marketing slogans and repeat, repeat, repeat. Repeat the marketing slogans enough that the marketing slogans are burned in everyone’s subconscious. Repeat, repeat, repeat that everyone (or almost everyone) believes the marketing slogans. Additional add-ons are to create visual and sound symbols related to the marketing slogans.
Welcome to the New Times – where the sky may be “purple”, “gray”, “polka dotted” any color except for “Blue”
The following was a thought piece of where society may be going; I am not good at guessing the future; and my hope the society described here is one where the society is not going; the writing piece designed for discussion and thought – and like everything else I create may be wrong in parts and correct in others.
