TRANSFORMATIVE IDEAS WON'T BE SUGARCOATED - AND HERE'S ONE

A simple solution for those of us who are willing to try the conscious transformation and have the balls to take this shit personally. Not a perfect and complete solution, but a mandatory keystone for a strategy out of extinction.
Today is the last day to state on which side of the history you're going to end up.

* Zero-summing * eko-brutalism * Beyond systemic level * Sixth finger (of the invisible hand) * Maximism * Post Guilt Project * The thirteenth step * ... *** ?

The world is looking for redemption via unnecessarily complicated and expensive tricks. We already know what to do and how to do it. We're just lacking the will to do the changes. Or perhaps the leaders to do the changes.

Since you've stumbled upon this page, I'm assuming you know the basics or can KVG (kato vittu googlesta - google the fuck up). You should know the concept of metacrisis, superorganism, green- and whitewashing. You know that the world is an immoral dystopian hellscape designed for cheap unfulfilling pleasures. You should know that compensation, green investment and carbon capture are vessels of false hope. Leaders are either toothless or corruptible with a few well-placed wads of dough or some fake prestige and a trip with a private jet to a megayacht. You might actually believe that some of us have free will and the capability of thinking via universal ethical principles.

We're living in a fake world outlined formerly by Yrjö Kallinen, Jiddu Krisnamurti, Jean Baudrillard, Adam Curtis and many more. Afraid to wake up or afraid to tell the ones around us that this is fake.

"Everyone from the top to the bottom of (word omitted) society knew that it wasn’t working, knew that it was corrupt, knew that the bosses were looting the system, know that the politicians had no alternative vision. And they knew that the bosses knew that they knew that. Everyone knew it was fake, but because no one had any alternative vision for a different kind of society, they just accepted this sense of total fakeness as normal."

- Adam Curtis

In addition to knowing that the systemic level alone will never make the difference with the current leaders you have recently figured out that individual level change is direly needed for the ones behind the systemic level. This has been a taboo until recently but now it finally seems that eyes are opening up. And you're ready to put some skin in the game and take this shit personally and try to make the world more ethical. So, what to do with that momentum?

What we're gonna do here is select leaders that cannot be corrupted by bucks or luxuries masked as "the VIP saving the world". We've seen thirty years of leaders flying with private jets with Agenda 2030 lapel pins to fancy hotels and how much emissions did those conferences save us?

If you realize the state of the planet this will not be an unreasonable demand. You'll also know that we need to reduce our consumption roughly by half.

If you're not on par with the status the following will feel retardedly utopian and hopelessly extreme. With a combination of Kantian principles, or maxims and a framework tested with fire we're going to tear down the false world to see the smoking real one and extinguish it. I think I can guarantee you a trip out of the conventional comfort zone.

In this context we're going to abuse the maxims a bit hoping that Kant will blush. In addition, we'll peek into the big book of AA. Both should feel extremely uncomfortable and unreasonable for a while but grow to be intuitive extensions of anything we do or evaluate.

For normal people three principles are more than enough. The leaders putting on transformative, justice or sustainability robes we're going to need more from as they've got more fish to catch than the simple carbon tunnel vision.

Maxims that form the maxim-ism

Universal ethical principles are the highest form of moral. Deciding to take this path you'll learn to think via the lens of universal moral and break the norm intentionally towards the higher morale. Sounds cool or pretentious? Sorry, but we don't have the luxury of time to consider that.

Kant coined his Categorical Imperative as the guide for making moral decisions. It goes somewhat like you should decide your principles so that they should become a universal law. In this idea we'll create some maxims and expose those to public scrutiny. For normal transformative people three maxims will be enough. The ones looking to be leaders transforming the shitty future we're counting on for a better one, will need to use more of them M's. Anyway, you'll need to learn this by heart to be able to check the dissonance of the leaders, whether you're one or not.

In addition to the useful tool of evaluation the three common maxims, if utilized properly, will guide us alone to net zero. The extra maxims of the leaders will fix the rest of the issues and take us swiftly net negative and address the other issues like PFAS ...

These maxims might seem impossible at first glance but once we get to the actionable framework it will be a walk in the park. And it's enough that you do your best and stay true. No need for white knuckling (KVG raivoraitis/kuivahumala), should you wish to avoid it.

One purpose of the maxims is to program yourself from a passive bystander to a agent of change. For the leaders it is a tool to show they`re capable of the inevitable change proactively, not only reactively. For the normal people this is a method empowering them to demand better leaders.

The maxims for the normal people are 1 %, full retard vegan and substance use. To make this bit more clear I'll show you around these from my point of view. The reason the second maxim is vegan is that it is so concrete that you'll remember being transformative from day to day. And in most parts of the world it's strongly against the norm.

Maxim 1 - top 1 percent

The top emitting percent of us is outputting a whopping 16% of emissions. That's as much as the poorest two thirds. Roughly 6 gigatons. Net zero is around twenty and we're now at 37. I will form my 1 % maxim something like "if all 8 billion of us lived like the top 1 % or none of us, which would give us a better chance out of this?" So my maxim is that none of us should live like the top 1 % as the benefits in wellbeing from the excessiveness is in the marginal gains section. The wipeout of the top 1 % won't be complete anytime soon, but as soon as we start putting pressure to end this waste there will be effect on all the top percents and maybe even further down the line as we'll learn to prioritize. My hunch is that the infrastructure and the collateral damage taken care by getting rid of this excessiveness will be manyfold the six gigs. At first the path towards this is social coercion against individual excessive consumption and after we've taken the lead of society, the systemic level.

The psychological effects of this maxim will be huge for the society. The incentive for extreme greed will vanish. The capable people, now chasing dopamine hits from financial gambits, will turn into more altruistic sources of rush. Or maybe even cure. Few evil ones will not budge to pressure but by then we'll have the power to make them behave.

Maxim 2 - full retard vegan mode

The full retard vegan maxim is even clearer. Estimated 12 gigatons of emissions by the global food supply chain out of which even 75% can be chopped meaning 9. Together with the 1% maxim these two will take us close enough to net zero. In addition to the direct emissions removed this will dramatically reduce the land use thus allowing reforesting on huge scale absorbing even additional tens of gigatons. Ethical, health and fertilizer caused issues will be hugely affected. So, my maxim on whether 8 billion people should eat factory farmed or fished food is a nope. I'm as vegan as I can, requirement is not perfection but a good honest effort. But I will never again vote for a leader that states that something other than vegan planet gives our kids the best chance.

The psychological personal effect of this will be immense provided you're getting your first hit of personal and concrete transformation out of this cornerstone habit (KVG: Duhigg & cornerstone habit). This is also a habit that should be yours to decide this instant should you possess the forementioned moral and free will. Annoying aint it.

Maxim 3 - Drug of Choice

The third maxim is for intoxicants. Drugs, alcohol, tobacco, vape, snus. You get it. You'll try to stay sober for now. And most likely fail miserably at the learning experience. This is the third and the final maxim for normal people. Should all 8 billion of us use regularly or never? The benefits are negligible at best, being fitting in with the crowd and continuing to do what you're used to doing. Both are shitty reasons of doing anything let alone using something with such risks as addictive intoxicants. The minuses are plentiful, abundant and then some.

The effect of this will prime you nicely to the framework that we're going to use to fix the world. It will not be sugarcoated as I promised but it will be fulfilling once you've made the decision to begin. And it is a one helluva decision to choose a future with free will instead of a dystopian hellscape.

Moar Maxims! - For the people behind systemic level

Leaders must in addition to these three post their maxims and their individual stance to several others. Private cars for 8 billion or none. Traveling for all or none. Public health care for all or none. Education for all or none. A litmus test we can use to compare their groundedness to reality and the BS factor.

The solution that fucking stings

Feel free to figure out a better solution

Addiction is something we generally attribute affecting others and not us even if most of the addicts we know have also thought this way prior to them becoming the problem users they are now. The normative addiction these days is actually recognized way after the problem use has started. Most of the addicts are not showing clear symptoms of their addiction and are used to hiding their problem use. Quite often from themselves as well.

80 % of adults use alcohol.
80 % of those are problem users (64%).
80 % of those are in denial of the problem (51,2%)

- Craig Beck

Crag Beck's 80 percent rule states that a random stranger you come across is more likely a problem user in denial. And that's only alcohol. Add nicotine, food and behavioral addictions and you'll figure out the scale. Most of us are problem users in denial as, duh, we're a civilization of deniers. Not a pantyhose of deniers.

In a current society where overconsumption of anything you can think of is an implemented feature of society, which one of us is free of addiction or problem use? Can you control your doomscrolling, reading, knitting, coffee drinking ... perfectly?

Do you know well a single person who doesn't show at least some compulsive signs?

The pull of the norm or the chokehold of the superorganism forces us to normalize a lot of behavior that is not in our best of interests, and should we get a nagging feeling we'll get over it watching the "normal" ones around us.

"Persons with severe addictions are among those contemporary prophets that we ignore to our own demise, for they show us who we truly are."

- Kent Dunnington

Luckily for us this is one of the most studied issues in human history. Addiction has been around since dawn of times and there are plenty of methods to tackle it. The main component of recovery however is not a medication or therapy, but a decision. A simple and conscious decision anyone can make. It will not guarantee anything via half-assed efforts, but with a true decision and a good effort most of us can do almost anything.

"In extensive research of American alcoholics, the only factor that clearly had a correlation with the recovery was the decision to quit."

- Ilkka Halonen (Alcohol policy magazine, 1982)

The aforementioned maxim of substances is the key for the learning process of the new universal (or planetary?) recovery. You are more likely to be an addict in denial than any of the other options. And so am I. Not a marginal portion of inferior people, but almost all of us. Stings like hell, but once you DECIDE to get past it the emotion is practically cathartic. Which gets us to 12 steps or in our case perhaps 13 steps. You don't need to use this as a framework as many of the known approaches to addiction work rather well once you've crossed your Rubicon and made the fucking decision. Even better and easier if your substance or behavior is not nicotine or alcohol.

We admitted we were powerless over superorganism—that our lives had become unmanageable.
Came to believe and to accept that we needed strengths beyond our awareness and resources to restore us to sanity.
Made a decision to entrust our will and our lives to the care of the collective wisdom and resources of those who have searched before us.
Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
Admitted to ourselves without reservation, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
Were ready to accept help in letting go of all our defects of character.
With humility and openness sought to eliminate our shortcomings.
Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.
Sought through meditation to improve our spiritual awareness and our understanding of the Sixth Finger way of life and to discover the power to carry out that way of life.
Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to superorganismholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
Never trust a leader who has not done their steps and reflected on those!

To be Continued ...

TBD:

The control feeling after getting your first maxim? 12 steps used in therapy? Addict isolates and becomes lazy and selfish when a recovering addict becomes present, connected and altruistic? What else? New leaders humankind has never even dared to dream of, honest and grounded ones with integrity instead of stinking expedience. Standalone idea that requires no big leaders but can be used in different states of dystopian societis. The world will burn before we'll come to absolute agreement of causality like the billion cigarettes burned lit by misinformation - so agree to reasonable probability. Festinger and cognitive dissonance. Me versus eight bilion. Sustainability costs nothing as it's non-consumption. Buying green shit you don't need or fake illusion of compensation is expensive. Scott/Jung/Neurosis layers as the problem and the framework for a fix. Fromm & De Mello and freedom and escape from it. PNP & WDL. Co-op's and foundations as the already existing parallel structures.
