The gross indecency of world controllers is that they claim to know more than they
do. They preach systemic solutions to systemic problems, discarding the obvious 
limitations of the human mind and experience.

I call world controllers the thousands of people whose combination of wealth and
influence determines the course of humanity for hundreds of years into the future.
This has been the constant of our current phase of development: the “civilisation”
of humanity. This group, while refreshed periodically with “new blood”, has been
keeping its internal system quite intact. It is no conspiracy, just that since it
is a group based around wealth and power, and the preservation of generational access
to both, it is obvious that the system has had to be maintained over centuries to
keep working.

You may call it whatever you want, you may describe it however you want. You can
be efficient and objective or you can be bombastic and subjective. In the end the
course of humanity is, has been, and will be determined not by “masses”, not by “
individuals”, but by this weird amorphous group of people who combine enough wealth
and influence to impact irreversible course corrections to our shared experience.
The amount, type, shape and nature of the impact varies, but it is never outside
of its historical context. For that is the main problem these world controllers 
have: they do not want what is ideally good, they do not and cannot work for some
platonic shape of a greater cause – with the few exceptions among them who suffer
from some self aggrandising syndrome.

Their goal is the prevention of events, inventions, ideas, causes, systems and people
that periclitate the existence of their punctual wealth and influence and the endorsement
of events, inventions, ideas, causes, systems and people who build infrastructure
of the preservation of their punctual wealth and influence. This goal is not based
on any sort of malice. With all their secret clubs, open to select plebes, and all
their public but exclusive clubs, open to select controllers, there is no villain
preparing to take over the world. One such villain will be swiftly opposed by everyone
else. Even if such one villain would get to the top of the pyramid, their role, 
much like a modern king, will be lost in the sea of lower caste controllers.

Since villainy and malice are simply non economical, and frankly impossible to sustain
long term, it figures the result of this atemporal union of minds and hearts failed
miserably. Throughout history all the humanity’s leadership ever managed to do is
to rule by disaster: war, famine, violence, restriction, lie, propaganda, manipulation
and other forms of brain washing, inefficient systems that produce artificial meaning
and theft. From ancient kings to modern day billionaires, from ancient philosophers
to modern day professors, not one held back from propagating the same array of disaster
rule.

I think all this is deeply human: the unimaginative solutions, the desire for cross
generational preservation of state, the appeal to deceit as a lasting resort for
agenda preservation. It happens to the rest of humans as well, so it’s only normal
it would happen to this group as well. Every human in a society, no matter how small,
poor and traditional, does it. Lack of ideas stemming from the resolve to not accept
the limitation of their own humanity and finiteness is not exclusive to world controllers.
Have you ever wondered why we’re all doing all the things we’re supposed to be doing?

You probably have. The most common answer is that “it’s natural”. Then a slew of
stretched comparisons appear to explain away the apparent senselessness of everyday
life. You will be instantly connected to some random forager human in the jungle
or his wife. You will be quickly decomposed to a series of predictable behaviours.
You will immediately have the unconvincing details you notice smeared with a totemic
work of morals, history, anthropology, religion, tradition, and other shapes of 
social engineering. Whenever you ask why you are doing what you’re supposed to be
doing, you are a free individual. And the moment you take that question seriously,
be it in an academic sense or in a practical way, you will be obliterated as an 
individual in all possible manners, sometimes even through violence.

That is also not a conspiracy. It is a reflex. And it is a reflex we have as humans
because, wether we like it or not, we are self referential: even the enquiring of
the meaning of our actions is rooted in the desire to find a meaning for our actions.
To crush this reflex is to find oneself in the cold emptiness of freedom, and despite
what we learn in poetry there is nothing to do there: to have meaning is to not 
be free, freedom can only be meaningless. And in meaninglessness there is nothing
to be done, nothing to be achieved or even worth being experienced, because worth
needs meaning. All the positive and good we can concoct with our convoluted brains
are chains, restrictions, carrots and sticks and other tools we use to build meaning
that makes existing in a violent, cold and indifferent universe bearable. Not to
mention the bad stuff we come up with.

What the world controllers strive, for millennia now, is to shape the result and
limit the frequency of asking ourselves why do we do the things we’re supposed to
do. Why? Because every venture into the cold emptiness of freedom is unpredictable,
and predictability is the foundation of their goal to prevent of events, inventions,
ideas, causes, systems and people that periclitate the existence of their punctual
wealth and influence. To this end we’ve been given everything from inquisition and
ritualic sacrifice to consumerism and careers. It seems too easy to be true but 
to me it’s so easy it’s obvious. Obvious things are beyond truth in terms of truthiness.

The problem is this effort has been unimaginative, destructive, limiting to the 
potential of our species, harmful to countless generations, violent, mean and unfair
to hordes of individuals. That’s all. The world controllers have always given out
the rules which if obeyed or respected, or both, lead one to a well adjusted life.
So it’s not like there’s this invisible clique of sadists. Everyone means well. 
But, as a group, they consistently fail – and the root of their failure is the desire
to preserve individual temporary situations for undefined lengths of time.

The solution cannot come and will not come from the world controllers. Once you 
are in the group you will be behaving like the group. There have been many times
when this was a general realisation and it then conducted to authentic change. The
constant decay of the original authenticity always stems from the same mistake: 
we invest new people to carry on the change, effectively making them part of the
group of world controllers. Invariably they will just bring the old back.

But leaderless revolutions don’t last either. And change rarely sought to dismantle
the main problem: wealth and influence enough to impact irreversible course corrections
to our shared experience. No matter the “revolution”, even the most egalitarian,
even the most radical, resulted in a reshaping of the same. Because instead of killing
people, we need to burn papers. What we usually do is kill people and take their
records, wipe the dead names and put new names in. Then before you know it, we’re
back to square one.

So we need leaders that want to burn the papers without making copies. We did that
with books plenty of times. We need to keep books, but burn financial records, property
rights, inheritance lines, paper debt ownership, titles, decorations, tenures, all
the body of intertwined imaginary value that compose the wealth and influence of
the world controllers. At the very least, and at its worst, such a radical revolution
would create a greenfield opportunity for a new group of world controllers to start
forming. It does not happen fast. But if we don’t burn books, literally and metaphorically,
and if we don’t kill people, but treat them with respect and leave their dignity
intact, we may come to more optimistic results. Maybe some of our millennia of learning
about the environment, the universe, the self, the matter around us and the mind
we confuse ourselves with, maybe all this, in the absence of the relentless irreversible
course corrections of the world controllers, will bring about something good.
