Speaker 0 (0s):
Speaker 1 (13s): Podcast new year, breaking down some big ideas. Do you have a good new year? Did you get the hangout with the family? You didn't catch COVID or did you see the Evolution of civilizations and with the evolution of civilizations Cubs, the disintegration of parts of our Civilization
Speaker 0 (39s): Peanut first three
Speaker 1 (44s): But disintegration is the gradual transformation of social instruments into institutions. That is the transformation of social arrangements, functioning to meet real social needs into social institutions, serving their own purposes, regardless of real social needs. Think about social security. Think about health care. These are social instruments that are designed to help real social needs.
However, the corruption that has crept in has turned these social instruments into social arrangements or social institutions that no longer serve real needs that are only serving their own purpose. They no longer do what their set up to do. Even our government and no longer function is to serve the people. And no longer function is to serve the needs where the real needs of the society.
Instead it only serving the needs of the people on the top. I think that comes back to absolute power and the corruption of conformity. I think the big question today is whether we have lost a Western view of reality.
Speaker 0 (2m 11s): Yeah.
Speaker 1 (2m 12s): Right. Which has given our 2000 years of history, its unique vitality constantly pregnant with new versions of social structure. The truth unfolds in time through a communal process. People must constantly search for the truth by building upon what others have learned, but no knowledge can be assumed to be complete and final. It could be contradicted by new information received tomorrow.
Speaker 0 (2m 44s): Those weapons of mass destruction. You've got to be somewhere. I did not have sexual relations with that woman read my lips.
Speaker 1 (3m 2s): The possible termination of open ended. Western civilization is upon us with access to an explosive technology that can tear the planet apart, coupled with the failure of Western civilization to establish any viable system of world government, local political authority will tend to become violent and absolutest as we move into irrational activism, States will seize upon ideologies that justify absolutism the 2000 year separation in Western history of state and society would then in Western people would rejoin those of the rest of the world in merging the two into a single entity, authoritarian and static.
The age that we are about to enter would be an ideologic one consistent with the views of Hagle and Marx, a homeostatic condition that triumph would end the Western experiment and return as to the experience of the rest of the world. Namely, that history is a sequence of stages in the rise and fall of absolutist ideologies.
Speaker 2 (4m 19s): I guess the way it is just the way
Speaker 1 (4m 25s): It's interesting to think about. There was another book I read a while back by Thomas Piketty called capital. And in that book, it goes in depth about capital, be it monetary capital human capital. And it tells us it's, it's a tome in this book, it's over a thousand pages and is really well detailed. And Thomas Piketty goes on to tell us that capital has two States.
He goes, he tells us that throughout history
