A Determined Society page one
	What would a society established within a deterministic framework look like?  It would not look like a Marxist communist society.  Marxism was a brand of communism founded within the cancerous free-will mentality.  It was an oxymoron’ish concept, really.  Marxism perverted deterministic idealism.  Social amalgamations such as the proletariat and the bourgeois are comparative concepts and therefore incompatible with the basic tenets of determinism.  There is a sense of extreme dissatisfaction and condemnation inherent in the Marxist model which contradicts the very heart of deterministic thought.  Marx was correct in recognizing aristocratic institutions as being socially destructive entities, but his proposed method of dealing with these entities, the violent overthrow of governments and the seizure of personal property, was thoroughly entrenched within his unchanged free-will mindset.  Marxism addressed superficial symptomatic social behaviors as if they were the disease rather than data laden symptoms.  That determinism is immediately associated with Marxism is most unfortunate.  Carl did determinism a great disservice in this respect.  This gives us an idea of what a deterministic society would not look like, but that wasn’t the question; was it? A determined society is not nationalistic, but considers itself to be a member of the world-wide community, perhaps the universal-wide community.  It may be housed within a localized nation, but it is world-wide-community minded.  It views all peoples as being equal members of one family.  It is a universal family having only sisters and brothers, and these siblings are theoretically the same age; no older, wiser, authoritative brothers or sisters; dynamically equal.  It is sufficiently content with itself to have a profoundly outward focus. Involvement in a deterministic society must be entirely voluntary.  It is counterproductive to demand participation even if approved by a democratic process.  A majority is not a sufficient social mass upon which to establish deterministic principles within a society. A person simply cannot be forced to adopt deterministic principles.  In this sense, nations are not necessarily deterministic.  Individuals are deterministic.  When all the citizens of a nation are deterministic, then and only then, is the nation deterministic.  Unlike Reagan’s trickle-down social mentality, determinism is a trickle-up social mentality.  Hmmmm…that sounds like the game is over before it’s even begun!  A determined society will begin in the minds of individuals.  A determined society is a Knowledge-based society; a society which is committed to Truth, factual information; a logic-based community.  It is a people saturated with the natural philosophical model describing human maturation as the progression from dependence to independence, from receiving to giving, from self-serving to other-serving, from ignorant innocence to knowledgeable innocence, all of which is founded on the realization that Knowledge produces Understanding, Understanding produces Unconditional Acceptance, and Unconditional Acceptance produces Unconditional Love.  A determined society will be characterized by respect; a non-aggressive involvement with others founded in the knowledge that adequate knowledge always produces profound understanding; that the lack of adequate knowledge is not a license to deny acceptance; that when one lacks adequate knowledge a disciplined mental attitude of dynamic understanding overrules any tendency to reject and the relational situation is sustained with a spirit of Unconditional Love.  A line from Aladdin II which originated with the older Bush comes to mind:  A determined society will be “a kinder, gentler” society!" In a determined society, each citizen will be fully aware of the many facets of the Adult-compromising behaviors and attitudes principle and will address these behaviors and attitudes as having their dysfunctional foundations based within the individual, making the solution to dysfunction a thoroughly personal matter.  Though responsibility is an illusion from a by-gone era, a determined society will appear to be, very responsible.  The deterministic term which will describe this state of being is, functional.  A deterministic society will be wonderfully functional. The economic behaviors and attitudes of a determined society are more difficult to address.  Personally, I have wondered how I would approach the financial problem should this Parentalistic thesis become profitable.  I don’t view these concepts as my possessions. These concepts have existed since the beginning of time.  My ability to comprehend these concepts has been forming since the beginning of time.  That these concepts found expression at my meager little summit, a non-dimensional point at the pinnacle of a gargantuan cone of universal experience, that this happened does not make the concepts mine to profit from.  These concepts were produced by universal experience and thus the universe should profit from it, not one little dimensionless point at the tip of a mammoth cone. These concepts belong to all of us. We all had a hand in creating it.  Actually, I am the only entity which had  no hand in bringing these  concepts to the forefront of social consciousness, but now is not the time to discuss this.  If it became a book, those editing the language and running the presses should obtain a reasonable income from their labors, but the ideas?  The copyrights?  Ownership?  Truth and Knowledge are ours, not mine. How does a person, an individual, an Adult, who is complete, who has achieved actuality, who has become thoroughly content with their life, who is spiritually mature, approach excessive financial profit?  My thinking on this matter is soft, still supple and open to extensive reformation, but I believe it would be proper to establish a non-profit organization.  This approach is vulnerable to significant arbitrariness.  This weakness would necessitate the formation of a board of directors.  I would receive a salary.  Not a multi-million dollar salary, but a modest salary which would satisfy my real needs.  I presently live quite comfortably on a net income of around $1,400 a month.  Modest and real are subjective modifiers the board of directors would need to define.  However, the real work of the board would be to determine investments and expenditures.  They would determine sibling neediness and how best to address this familial need situation.
