Why your political enemies are stupid

Imagine we're in an advanced society, with science and technology, and someone walks up to you and says "A prophet came from God a thousand years ago and performed miracles, and that's why we have to undo the moral progress of the 21st century".

"I thought we've moved past that", you think to yourself. We have the big bang, feminism, and we've learnt from our mistakes.

This is a common thought, especially among the more allegedly intelligent people in society, those within the ivory tower.

"If you don't believe in my religious ideas, you're going to hell!" they proclaim.

Such is life, this is why we need to educate people in school against myths.. Those religious organisations will do anything for money and power.

Now, imagine we're in a Godless society, the people have assembled themselves together, and decided a new fate for humanity.

We're all equal, everyone is the same, we show endless compassion, because we've learnt from our mistakes of the past.

This is a common thought, especially among those who display a lot of empathy.

Then someone uneducated, lower-middle class comes along and they don't believe in your utopia. "Get these [explicitive] immigrants out of my country!".

They don't believe in your political ideas, so you send them to jail – some might consider it hell on earth.

Such is the sacrifice needed for a safe world.

What's new is old, but that's nothing new. Human nature is slow to change.

I want to talk about something else though, the inversion of the hierarchy of competence within corporate organisations.

Let's start with the organisation of the family as a hierarchy of who needs the most attention.

If you're in a small family, married or a small community, it's known that most of the work you do and most of your spare time is directed towards taking care of the most needy.

For example, an infant requires more attention than your brother who is healthy, so you direct attention towards caring for the infant, your brother might even help you.

There's a clear emergent pattern that arises. Those who are less autonomous require the most help. For the most part we're happy to help our families because we love them.

But a different pattern emerges within corporate structures, at least here in the West historically.

The least independent and autonomous individuals are often removed from the organisation and instead replaced with younger, more energetic people.

You might assume this is heartless, and to the people who need an income, it is.. but there's something bigger at play here – it's not that all people are psychopaths in business.

Imagine a small community, where there is someone who is so excellent at making food that they can cook for 20 people in the time it takes most people to cook for 2. It would be useful to reward those people and encourage them to continue to do that, because the other 18 people who are now free can possibly clean or do other productive work where they excel.

That is to say, that the competition for the top position emerges (hopefully) naturally and freely, and people can do what is best for their own abilities.

Then, you can generate enough resources to help those in need, by maximising efficiency.

But recently we've undertaken a different path in our culture, we've pivoted to Diversity, Inclusivity and Equity – that is, not hiring the people who can do the work the most efficiently, but considering wrongs of the past and making sure everyone has equal representation.

This is, in some sense, moving the corporate hierarchy towards the family hierarchy. We've taken the competition for competence and turned those positions of high stress-high reward from resource-generating to resource-donating.

There are lots of disaffected young men angry at this, but it's not just about removing them in favour of the refugee. It's also the shift from a high-trust to a low-trust society.

We're donating resources to people who view the world entirely differently, with fragmented ideas and differing views of utopia and practicality. People who may even have contempt for you, and dislike you and want you thrown in jail.

There's a distinction, between people who generate the ideas that govern culture, and the enforcers of it.

By no means do I believe that the people who came up with DEI policies trace their origins to people who are compassionate and want to spread wealth. Many of the philosopheres of from the Institute for Social Research have a deep seated hate for Western Culture.

If the corporatists geniunely liked people, they wouldn't peform mass lay offs, but they do end up off-shoring many jobs to under developed regions. This is a stab in the back for the countries and families that built them.

They are not hiring people becuase they want to care for "the infant" archetype, they are hiring people because it signals they are "good people" to the modern religious infrastructure.

Those ancient people were so stupid for sacraficing humans to the Gods of wealth, weren't they.
