The Lone Critic

In light of last week’s article, I have found myself more 'aware' of the level of secrecy we all live in. Conspiracy or not, there are and will always be secrets with-held from the human race by people with world power and hidden agendas. Am I paranoid? No, not at all. There is just too much evidence.

In recent years, it also seems that 'conspiracy' has pondered many more minds than before… Hence a new 'coming of age' and reform for a new path and global awareness of how finite our human existence actually is. As the human race continues… years and years of conditioned behavior and thought are finally breaking free. The human sub-conscious of knowledge continues to evolve. It seems we are slowly becoming increasingly aware of hidden truths, secret agendas, and control.

Many believe that everything they learn is accurate and unquestionably correct. Why is this? In addition, many students believe everything they read from a textbook is accurate. Again, why? I think it is because education is thought of as a trust worthy institution.

Education has a high moral value in our society and placing lies and misleading facts in our textbooks wouldn’t be right. Sadly, that isn’t the case. Many of the facts and stories we read in our textbooks are misleading or do not cover a specific area on purpose. This is a good time to consider power and social control in our society.

The science of sociology in organizations and institutions is extremely powerful. Understanding how and why organizations are set up and the power of institutions can help us better understand ourselves and society.

Once consciously outside of society’s iron cage of rationality, a sociologically mindful person may come up with many questions and pondering ideas on why/how they act a certain way, belief a certain ideal, eat a certain food, and much more. There is much more to consider though.

We are all products of a psycho/sociological conditioned agenda. Everything from our beliefs, feelings, and knowledge is seeded over years-and-years of concealed truth withheld from government agencies, ultra secret projects, and world orders. Social control, money, and corporate interest help fuel these agendas, but why? Obviously social control, but maybe some of the elite powers want to retain a status quo and wide-spread feudalism. Will the truth scare us? Are we ready for the truth? Do we even care or want to know this truth? The voyage has only begun…

Believe me, don’t believe me. I don’t care.

Facts to disprove, while proof is not real.

Agenda, Authority, Control, Order.

Propagated realism and a question in every corner.

Well, back to the boards… I just got done moving servers and when I got to this domain; I was shocked I haven”t posted in while. So what better way to get back into the swing of things than an old fashioned conspiracy theory.

Kubrick was in on the hoax! he directed the Moon landing… now THAT deserves an Oscar.

Our nation recently celebrated it”s 40th anniversary of sending a man to the moon. Unfortunately, I wasn’t alive to witness this epic moment (or the Beatles on the Sullivan show), but I think Netflix is going to be carrying it soon under the Stanley Kubrick collection… Not sure if it will be available in High Definition since some of the original source tapes have gone “missing”.

The current institutional foundation our society has learned to grow on is slowly starting to crack. Although it may be cracking, that doesn’t mean it will be fixed. Power is always the architect to our every-day sociological formulas.

Reading Schlosser’s Fast Food Nation is a great way to get introduced to sociology and the sheer dominance of organizations and institutions. Obviously there is always more than meets the eye when observing popular organizations, but understanding where to start and what to consider is crucial. Standing in line at McDonald’s can provide a flood of sociological observations. Watching person after person after person designate what they want to eat by a number and wait no longer than 1 minute to receive their food can be a little disturbing. In addition, there is primarily young teenagers working the counters and delivering the final product. Quality and Quantification are the key elements in fast food, or uniformity. Presenting customers over thousands of convenient locations with food they know will be satisfactory for a low price can raise many questions.

Johnny Got His Gun is an eerie anti-war novel written in 1938 by American novelist and screenwriter Dalton Trumbo. The book is a dark tale of the effects of war, patriotism, and individual liberty.

It took me a while to realize that Joe (the main character) was a complete vegetable, meaning no arms, legs, and other basic human functions. I couldn’t even begin to imagine on what life would be like in these types of circumstances, but the colorful details that Trumbo paints for the readers made me quiver in my bed. The eerie theme in this book sneaked up on me, filling me with grim despair and desolation. Everything that is beautiful on this planet shrunk into insignificance as I read this poor man’s reactions as he slowly begins to unfold what has happened to him.

After reading an in-depth critique by Edward Seidman on the errors of conceptualization, I couldn’t help but agree with re-framing all the premises involved in traditional research problems. We need to learn that there is always an alternative to consider, not just for the social science in the justice department but in our health, education, welfare, and other systems.

The problem with our society is that we get too caught up with repeatable, institutionalized theories and ideas that we become completely dependent on it, much like what Maruyama has called monopolarization. How can we train our society to consider other alternative thinking patterns? Why must we always ‘victim-blame’ or label people with an implicit, automatic response trained in the first-order conceptualization process?
