Who Controls Knowledge?

	CA Ideology

It is difficult I realize, to expect or to find that the ideas I have put forward with the help of others in the Areas for Change, can be easily understood and embraced by those that come from different experiences, life journeys and who have yet not started investigating the issues at hand from a "general systems" perspective (that is you can't have my view on Education if you haven't looked at the other aspects of this rotten society. They are all interlinked and for a very specific reason).

[Systems theory or systems science argues that however complex or diverse the world that we experience, we will always find different types of organization in it, and such organization can be described by concepts and principles which are independent from the specific domain at which we are looking. Hence, if we would uncover those general laws, we would be able to analyse and solve problems in any domain, pertaining to any type of system.]
from "What Are Cybernetics And System Science?"

It is even more difficult to show to whoever is within a "system" how the system itself maybe at fault and perpetuating schemes that we have long lost track and meaning of.

My vision as a Communication Agent looks at society at large and at the critical issues that are shaping the way we live, interact, exchange, trade, cooperate, go about evolution and create wealth for us and for others.

All of the problems affecting society today, no matter at what field we look at, stem all from some two key factors:

a) control

b) knowledge

Who has knowledge or controls what knowledge, information and news is made available has complete power and control to determine the reality we end perceiving and buidling upon completely in hir (his+her) hands.

Though you may not like to believe what I say, or may rightly think that I am out of my mind and a paranoid buff, my stance is that in all major areas of social life, from the economy to health and energy we have been completely deceived and enslaved without us even realizing it.

Education is one of the means by which this is achieved.

The method is called Overspecialization. By having you focus and increase your knowledge in one specific area without being able to relate it to other far and diverse fields of interest, you only have a very limited and unworkable paradigm for how things really are and work in this world.

I know this sounds pretty out of reason, but I once again invite to check for qualified references that explain with extreme simplicity and comprehensiveness what I am so boldly claiming here (see Buckminster Fuller - Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth, 1968). Here are some relevant passages from it:

"Looking at the total historical pattern of man around the Earth and observing that three quarters of the Earth is water, it seems obvious why men, unaware that they would some day contrive to fly and penetrate the ocean in submarines, thought of themselves exclusively as pedestrians‹as dry land specialists. Confined to the quarter of the Earth’s surface which is dry land it is easy to see how they came to specialize further as farmers or hunters-or, commanded by their leader, became specialized as soldiers. Less than half of the dry 25 per cent of the Earth’s surface was immediately favorable to the support of human life. Thus, throughout history 99.9 per cent of humanity has occupied only 10 per cent of the total Earth surface, dwelling only where life support was visibly obvious. The favorable land was not in one piece, but consisted of a myriad of relatively small parcels widely dispersed over the surface of the enormous Earth sphere. The small isolated groups of humanity were utterly unaware of one another’s existence. They were everywhere ignorant of the vast variety of very different environments and resource patterns occurring other than where they dwelt.

But there were a few human beings who gradually, through the process of invention and experiment, built and operated, first, local river and bay, next, along-shore, then off-shore rafts, dugouts, grass boats, and outrigger sailing canoes. Finally, they developed voluminous rib-bellied fishing vessels, and thereby ventured out to sea for progressively longer periods. Developing ever larger and more capable ships, the seafarers eventually were able to remain for months on the high seas. Thus, these venturers came to live normally at sea. This led them inevitably into world-around, swift, fortune-producing enterprise. Thus they became the first world men.

The men who were able to establish themselves on the oceans had also to be extraordinarily effective with the sword upon both land and sea. They had also to have great anticipatory vision, great ship designing capability, and original scientific conceptioning, mathematical skill in navigation and exploration techniques for coping in fog, night, and storm with the invisible hazards of rocks, shoals, and currents. The great sea venturers had to be able to command all the people in their dry land realm in order to commandeer the adequate metalworking, woodworking, weaving, and other skills necessary to produce their large, complex ships. They had to establish and maintain their authority in order that they themselves and the craftsmen preoccupied in producing the ship be adequately fed by the food-producing hunters and farmers of their realm. Here we see the specialization being greatly amplified under the supreme authority of the comprehensively visionary and brilliantly co-ordinated top swordsman, sea venturer. If his "ship came in" ‹that is, returned safely from its years’ long venturing‹all the people in his realm prospered and their leader’s power was vastly amplified.

There were very few of these top power men. But as they went on their sea ventures they gradually found that the waters interconnected all the world’s people and lands. They learned this unbeknownst to their illiterate sailors, who, often as not, having been hit over the head in a saloon and dragged aboard to wake up at sea, saw only a lot of water and, without navigational knowledge, had no idea where they had traveled.

The sea masters soon found that the people in each of the different places visited knew nothing of people in other places. The great venturers found the resources of Earth very unevenly distributed, and discovered that by bringing together various resources occurring remotely from one another one complemented the other in producing tools, services, and consumables of high advantage and value. Thus resources in one place which previously had seemed to be absolutely worthless suddenly became highly valued. Enormous wealth was generated by what the sea venturers could do in the way of integrating resources and distributing the products to the, everywhere around the world, amazed and eager customers. The ship owning captains found that they could carry fantastically large cargoes in their ships, due to nature’s floatability-cargoes so large they could not possibly be carried on the backs of animals or the backs of men. Furthermore, the ships could sail across a bay or sea, traveling shorter distances in much less time than it took to go around the shores and over the intervening mountains. So these very few masters of the water world became incalculably rich and powerful.

To understand the development of intellectual specialization, which is our first objective, we must study further the comprehensive intellectual capabilities of the sea leaders in contradistinction to the myriad of physical, muscle, and craft-skill specializations which their intellect and their skillful swordplay commanded. The great sea venturers thought always in terms of the world, because the world’s waters are continuous and cover three-quarters of the Earth planet. This meant that before the invention and use of cables and wireless 99.9 per cent of humanity thought only in the terms of their own local terrain. Despite our recently developed communications intimacy and popular awareness of total Earth we, too, in 1969 are as yet politically organized entirely in the terms of exclusive and utterly obsolete sovereign separateness.

This "sovereign--meaning top-weapons enforced‹"national" claim upon humans born in various lands leads to ever more severely specialized servitude and highly personalized identity classification. As a consequence of the slavish "categoryitis" the scientifically illogical, and as we shall see, often meaningless questions "Where do you live?" "What are you?" "What religion?" "What race?" ’"What nationality?" are all thought of today as logical questions. By the twenty-first century it either will have become evident to humanity that these questions are absurd and anti-evolutionary or men will no longer be living on Earth. If you don’t comprehend why that is so, listen to me closely."

The "control scheme" at work on this planet is so refined that to look and reveal its scope and workings provokes indignated reaction only by those very who have been so brainwashed to have lost any personal capacity for deep questioning and critical review of the establishment.

Education as it is generally intended on this planet today is not OK.

It does not help us in any way create individuals who understand and comprehend what is really going on in reality. Review the life of Leonardo and Michelangelo and see what kind of learning experiences and "education" they had to become the multidisciplinary masters of their times.

Each of the professionals we crate in Medicine, Education and Science is nothing but a specialized marketing manager for a world business plan you and I have never signed up for. The greatest beauty of this control scheme is that neither the doctor nor the scientist believe to have any conscious part in maintaining this as they can't even see it.

Unfortunately I am not here to pretend or convince anyone of my rightedness. There have now enough footprints in the ground to know that other animals like me are free in the wild and looking for each other.

I am simply working at identifying those like-minded people who resonate at once with what I say.
My mandate is to help them and provide them with skills, tools and means to achieve and realize the vision they have been longing for.

My goal is:
To provide communication skills and tools for uniquely talented communicators to effectively bring about deep and transformatory change in world society.

This may only happen through deep questioning of your own paradigm and value system, and through a generalist approach vs a specialist approach at resolving and understanding how things are.

Education, Economy, Justice, Energy are all intertwined fields of control that allow a few to keep the rest of us enslaved for the rest of our lives.

We are simply serving somebody's else purpose.
