the invisible hand
.
life seems to reward merit, or so it is thought and learned.
whether hate or love is applied at work doesn't matter anymore : it's energy in the end that can be sold.
the use of reasoned egoism based on the will to improve the current situation
brings an increase of status or fulfillment of dreams,
proof of one's intelligence,
of one's understanding of this world and workings.
.
.
.
some can resist feeling superior in case of success
allowing doubt about the amount of luck that had
refusing to consider their intelligence as more developed.
others can't resist.
and to not get caught in their superiority complex hiding a minority which could reduce value,
they indulge in a lie :
the lie of not using nor having used
coercion, extortion, defamation, threats, theft and violence
and the acceptance of others' suffering, insuries, sickness, handicaps and deaths
in disproportionate means
not even in their heads.
they just make a deal with themselves
that they worked harder, thus deserve more.
how cruel that deal is when you ponder about it, is not of question.
that's how life is.
because the question is, will the Chinese ( middle class ) accept the international community
as judge in their performance or will they impose themselves
by the means of coercion, extortion, defamation, etc
in order to protect their well-paid jobs.
.
in that sense :
what bogs me about the publication of Mr Snowden's memoires
about the NSA having advanced hacking possibilities
and accesses to routers or social media databases
is that this superior technology wants to be used.
i imagined in the form of being able to study and anticipate a target's movements exactly,
allowing to guide agents on the ground better,
allowing to defame and extort a target ; to coerce or manipulate a target
to the desired end :
loyal suicide, loyal terrorist, loyal soldier, loyal employee, loyal father,
loyal idiot in short
.
guided by the invisible hand
as the media story requires it to be written
to keep the illusion of the president being in charge
and the people free.
