100th Monkey......thePeople's ISSUE:
Demosthenes (384-322 BC) stated that a democratic state perishes if the rule of law is undermined by wealthy and unscrupulous men, and that the citizens acquire power and authority in all state affairs due "to the strength of the laws"
...in The Beginning of the End of the old system
The Holy man at the grocery checkout and the 100th Monkey...plus a few edits/comments by Kiy...
I make a comment about the people giving their money to the rich in the big tax giveaway recently. I feel like we're just cattle for the slaughter.
He said something like we are seeing the beginning of the end of the old system. He was not concerned about the surface issue: artifacts of a dying system. He felt that change is already afoot and we are already on a path to major changes sometime in 2012....2013...2014
I commented on his positive attitude and he said "I'm not positive: I have transcended!"
And then he told me about the 100th Monkey Theory.
The hundredth monkey effect is a supposed phenomenon in which a learned behavior spreads instantaneously from one group of monkeys to all related monkeys once a critical number is reached. By generalization it means the instantaneous, paranormal spreading of an idea or ability to the remainder of a population once a certain portion of that population has heard of the new idea or learned the new ability. The story behind this supposed phenomenon originated with Lawrence Blair and Lyall Watson in the mid-to-late 1970s, who claimed that it was the observation of Japanese scientists.
The Holy Man, as I now call him, out of basic respect, told me that the idea that we have to rely on each other - as opposed to institutions like banks and government - is the idea that is spreading and it is reaching critical mass in human society in general.
The wikipedia article goes on to report that the idea of the '100th monkey effect' was discredited, it appears it had been somewhat overstated to begin with.
But as a teaching analogy for where humans are now particularly with our global telecommunications and travel, we are all more and more able to communicate. So a '100th monkey effect' is entirely possible with humankind without any sort of actual mysticism involved.
Capitalism is the old system. It is based on greed and selfishness and has run its course.
And it has damaged the planet and countless numbers of people in its greedy exploits.
The most recent massive giveaway to the wealthy is part of the old pattern. Capitalists take from the poor and feather their own massive nests.
The Holy man seems to think that system is going to end far sooner than I do, that it is already underway and irreversible.
Here's hoping he's right.

People are funny that way...
And so there we have it. The Crazy "has" been upgraded to Crazier, and there’s no reason Even Crazier Still isn’t just around the corner. People are funny that way.
(...proves my statement..." Humans aren't complicated...they just complicate everything ...and then on top of complicated everything... Humans... they want a guarantee..." ... LOL...Lol...lol)

Does this guarantee a drop in 2014? ABSOLUTLY!!! The guarantee is iron-clad. OK, OK, cut the crap. Of course it doesn’t guarantee a thing. It’s just……interesting.
