Government


   Government, as we know it, is a byproduct of environmental scarcity . Like mafia tribes, the governments of the world seek to preserve their current positions of power, while aggressively working to strengthen their economic advantage. As far as social management, all a government can basically do is make laws , establish budgets , and declare wars . They are really monetary system creations. Sadly, due to the very nature of their power, history has become one constant chain of governmental corruption, ranging from the genocidal slaughter of peoples in opposing nations, to the deliberate oppression of a country’s own people in order to maintain the established order. The reason why all governments on the planet are corrupt is because they have to be in this system . Remember, they are no different than corporations, trying to survive in the monetary system. They are all in competition with each other, with periodic “world empires” emerging every couple hundred years or so.

This is nothing but destructive and unsustainable.

And what created that agency. Or perhaps, the universe, or the agency that created it, existed forever, and didn't need to be created. Up to recently, scientists have tended to shy away from such questions, feeling that they belonged to metaphysics or religion, rather than to science. However, in the last few years, it has emerged that the Laws of Science may hold even at the beginning of the universe. In that case, the universe could be self contained, and determined completely by the Laws of Science. The debate about whether, and how, the universe began, has been going on throughout recorded history. Basically, there were two schools of thought. Many early traditions, and the Jewish, Christian and Islamic religions, held that the universe was created in the fairly recent past. For inst...
