The social order as we know it
is created out of ideas,
either directly or as a systemic consequence. In other words
somebody somewhere did something which generated a group interest.
Once a given set of ideas
are intrusted by a large enough group of people
it becomes an institution. And once that institution
is made dominant, while existing for a certain period of time,
that institution can then be considered
an establishment.
Institutional establishments are simply social traditions
given the illusion of permanence. In turn,
the more established they become
the more cultural influence
they tend to have on us. Including our values
and hence our identities and perspectives.
While there is always a debate about genetics
and environmental influence. Its very easy to understand
in the context of values;
every intellectual concept
that each one of us finds merit with
is the result of a cultural information influence.
The environment is a self perpetuation
programing process and just like designing
a software program for your computer
each human being is advertently and inadvertently programed
into their world view.
Every word you know has been taught to you one way or another
and thus every concept and belief you have
is a result of this same influence.
Jacque Fresco once asked me,
"How much of you is you?"
Then answer of course is kind of a paradox.
For either nothing is me
or everything is me when it comes
to the information I understand and act upon.
Information is a serial process, meaning
the only way a human being can come up with any idea
is through taking in dependent information
that allows that idea
to be realized.
