For all must agree with all, and they cannot know if their thoughts are the thoughts of all, and so they fear to speak.

Wed. Feb. 22, 2023: We Are Boiled Frogs

Oh, well. Too late now, or it throws off the whole day. The latest Process Muse is up, about how process and marketing affect each other. Yesterday, I did the…

Peace Not War

It’s time all youth let older men (those clueless leaders) fight their wars themselves Maybe we wouldn’t have arrived at wars if enormous powers were not vested in one man. When older men declare war, it’s the youth that must fight and die. My heart goes out to every Ukrainian and Russian family, to everyone who has been hurt because of this senseless war. Now that the Ukrainian resistance gets…

It won't be the wealthy matrix deluded that manifest free energy, it will be those that see it and truly need it. We are tired of waiting for the gate keepers to unlock the gate, let's just join our awareness and remove the gate mentally, and physicality will follow, and the gate keepers will have nothing to do and can finally let go and relax, and put the pieces back in the Parker Bros box. No one actually likes playing Monopoly, and that's REAL.

[evokit-notes]

Collective instruments of production [i.e. mechanized] were created and used, without the benefit of a collective will and a collective interest. That, to begin with, was a serious handicap upon productive efficiency. The workers grudged the efforts they gave to the machine, applied themselves with half mind, loitered and loafed when there was an opportunity to escape the eye of the foreman or the taskmaster, sought to give as little as they could in return for as much wages as they could get. So far from attempting to combat these sources of inefficiency, the enterprisers sanctioned it by relieving the worker of such autonomy and responsibility as might naturally adhere to the job, by insisting upon speed for the sake of cheapness without regard for the excellence of workmanship, and by managing industry with an eye solely upon the maximum return. There were exceptions in every industry; but they did not establish the main line. _ Not appreciating the gain to efficiency from collective loyalty and collective interest and a strong common drive, the great industrialists did their best to browbeat any of these incipient responses out of the worker: by lookouts, by ruthless warfare in strikes, by hard bargains in wages and by callous lay-offs during periods of slack work the typical employers of labour did their ignorant best to decrease the efficiency of the workers and throw sand in the works. These tactics greatly increased the labour turnover and therefore lowered the internal efficiency of operation.
