Previously we hade a clip showing bully liliput who was about to fight another boy and then publish the clip online. The words
used, the different height and weight between the assaulter and the victim had all the hallmarks of a liliput.
The assaulter had friends backing him up, his 'crew', he was a head taller and more muscular than the victim and he asked his 'crew' if they
were filming. All with the intent of creating fear in the victim, showing how tough he is in front of the 'crew',
creating a sense of power and superiority and also aiming
for online publication to show and get likes from other liliputs who enjoy and probably does the same thing.
The whole
purpuse from the liliput is to fill his own empty bucket of self esteem and having a inner sens of inferiority. The only way
to compensate is to provoke other types of feelings that create fear and hopelessness in the victim but those
feelings reciprocaly fill the empty sack reagrdless.
We replaced the clip with a some what similar clip. A boy that make sure his other boys are filming before he shows of a
supremely "for-show-attidude" towards the police. Who, being Swedish is not prone to the liliput-syndrome and keep calm and
let the liliput go on in his tirade of obcenities showing he is the tough guy in a clip he knows soon is going to be published
online being admired by other liliputs. Also here, teh boy asks if his friend is filming before he starts screaming like a little
child, knowing the police is going to behave and not beat him.
Yes, a reader understands what we are aiming for and even if we have tried to chosen words and tone to mimic
addressing a primary school class, there are certainly other better pedagogical possibilities to achieve the same
result which of course is that it should feel
childish!.
It should be
globally
recognized and accepted that the behavior we describe is childish, spoiled and is only carried out because someone feels like
a little kid. The idea is to introduce a subject in school, perhaps within
social sciences,
which is re-occuring and maintained through the entire school system where this is emphasized and repeated.
Assume that it would become
globally recognized and accepted that people who are both drawn to the lifestyle of
gang-related behaviour and violence, are so due to poor self-esteem and inferiority complex. Or as we have chosen to call it
– the "little kid syndrome". Gangs and the extremely silly 'honor' and 'respect' attributes would be recognized as the need for
affirmation and only display such a person as a liliput and having a feeling of inferiority.
Gang related crimes would disappear in half a generation. Guaranteed.
Although we have already warned that this section is borderline indecent, we clearly realize that there is a
proportion of both adults and children who suffer from low self-esteem and who actually need help
and not to be associated with being
indecent by society. We therefore have 2 points to make:
One, having an inferiority complex is of course a clinical diagnosis that many people have and it is absolutely not
our intention to expose such a diagnosis as something negative and indecent
per-se. It is the
connection to an indecent
and, not infrequently, criminal
compensatory confirmation behavior due to the inferiority complex we want to highlight
and nullify.
And two, we have above listed areas of 'livelihood' where the connection to a noticable compensatory liliput behavior is clear
and also ways to exploit that connection due to the fact that such a person don't want it to be a public knowledge
that you actually feel quite small and inferior to other people and that your compensatory rough attitude is simply just
that, compensatory.
There are however areas where this connection is not so obvious that we can exploit it to nullify a behaviour.
How do you connect, for example, reckless exploitation of natural resources or perhaps the destruction of the
rainforest to something negative that the person doing this does not want to be associated with? Or how do you act
against the enormous 'click-bait industry' whose sole purpose is to spread conspiracy theories and lies to create
distrust and polarization towards society in general and methods such as science specifically?
The connection between a childish and affirmation seeking behaviour isn't as clear cut as in the case with
gang mentality and there we have a dilemma.
Seeking financial independence, or being driven towards wealth in general, does not necessarily have to be or happen
indecent. Also to a large extent, our economy and thus our welfare are also driven by economic incentives that are in a
fundamental sense natural.
However, it is a good start to sow a seed early in the school system that many behaviors and patterns of action that
can be categorized grandiosely or affirmation seeking always have a compensatory origin whose purpose it is to oppose inferiority. It
may be heads of government who just have to cling to power by crushing opposition and critical media, to the liliput
person who beats his wife. If it becomes "normal" for everyone or, again,
globally recognized and accepted and thus,
for lack of a better word, very
uncool and
childish, to be associated a certain behavior, we would almost by definition
get rid of the behavior. It may sound like an
ad-hoc solution and described in too short terms here, but essentiell.org
is sure that we are on to something if we can only get the pure
comical or
farcical demeanor
globally recognized and accepted as an inherent need for affirmation due to ínferiority traits.
We have already devoted an entire section to this topic, but in short, the only reason we still have objective and
relevant news portals is because we have 2, but soon only 1, generations that grew up with completely different
information platforms and thus know which portals or channels to lean on for objective facts.
We have also made the observation that the amount of information and 'facts' you are fed today is extremely much
larger than before and the only reason that a reasonably correct worldview still exists among the younger generation
is because there are these 2, soon to be 1, generation(s) that function as frameworks and walls around the younger
generation's thoughts.
We, the editorial team's own experiences, are thus increasingly faced with our children's questions that begin with
"
- Is it true that...?"
Although this was not the intention, Kellyanne Conway's response to an interview question was that there are
"Alternative facts" a vastly greater truth than in the sense she intended. In many ways, quite the opposite. But it
is also just as much completely true, we have an immense amount of 'alternative facts' that we are all bombarded with
daily.
Oxford Dictionaries, as mentioned in a previous section, already chose the 'word of the year' for the "Post-truth era"
in 2015. essentiell.org believes that this situation is much more dangerous than it may seem. We actually live in a world
"beyond the truth". In a world where truth is no longer truth but can be fully justified substituted for an alternative
truth, often also filtered through personal "common sense".
This scenario is as frightening as it is insane, and we therefore believe that we must start reacting to this because
everything can be justified when there is no answer, and even if there is, we have a growing proportion of the global
population who do not know how to find it.
As it is now, the destruction of a rainforest can be justified by the fact that the consequences of such destruction
are simply "fake news".
A country can invade another country and justify it by saying that it is ruled by "neo-Nazis" and is a legitimate historical
and demographic part of the invading country, and all obvious facts that claim the opposite* are swept away by the simple
"It is fake news!".
A president can lose an election in an otherwise law-abiding Western country and claim that the loss was the effect of
election fraud. The response to information that could show that this was not the case, after serious investigative
journalistic work, is swept away with the same easily accessible "It is fake news!" and immediately gets half the
country's population into the same mindset.
** Since there is hardly any doubt which parties are referred to here, we should not claim
that the regime in the embattled country is a child of God. The leader has both expressed support for Donald Trump plus
the country in general but authorities in particular show major problems with corruption internationally (ranked 122 out
of 180 on Transparency International's CORRUPTION PERCEPTIONS INDEX
list
of the world's most corrupt countries)
A sentence that takes 1 second seconds to say, "It's fake-news!" thus eradicates the entire value base of man in a fundamental
way. And of course, the bar is also generally raised in society when it is so easy to justify a conclusion that is so
changeable and completely modifiable with respect to the goal.
In a previous version of the site, we had a formulation here like this: "soon we will be in a situation where the entire
value base we considered to be in danger will also be cemented in a state system where school curricula are simply
rewritten to suit and benefit a regime to achieve a goal." There we are now. A country ruled by indecent people has done
exactly this. References
here
and
here.
We must therefore, in the countries we can and still have the opportunity, put an end to "alternative facts". We are
really afraid of what the lack of a common and accepted truth will do to our society, and please read
civilization,
because that is of course one of essentiell.org's core issues and purpose of connecting this with the term
L
in the Drake equation.
What do we do then with the indecent behaviors that are difficult to draw parallels to "larceny"? So how do we get rid
of indecent people who create their own truth from alternative facts to achieve goals or justify their indecent behavior?
- troll factories must be hunted down and closed down*.
- Polarizing, xenophobic forums, blogs and podcasts online publishing objectively false information must be are
being hunted down and closed.*
- harsh censorship and 'punishment' for false information flows. There must be some form of derogatory attribute
on someone who, like a 7-year-old, can't keep his fingers in check and click that 'share button'. If anything can
work, maybe it's...
- The incredibly strong ability of search algorithms to create information bubbles must be removed. Advertising and
'click-bait' in search engines must not be the purpose of the algorithms, but simply what it should be: The best (true)
match
- free 'subscriptions' or similar for objective, truthful media (while we still have some), for students from 1st
grade onwards
- In school: Mandatory lessons from 1st grade on what is true and false regarding current important news events and
issues. Also source references to serious sites with a decent agenda.
- In school: What is science? That science is actually a methodology that is not necessarily objectively 'True'
but still the method that results in a theory that currently best describes the reality we live in.
- ...essentiell.org would be happy to come to your school and lecture about this
* Since we are on the brink of a possible welfare collapse as a result of both Global Warming and troll factories
instigating local and perhaps global conflicts, we may need to review constitutional obstacles to quickly imploding
this type of activity.
And finally, reconnecting to our controversial position.
- To try, in the same way as we have tried here at essentiell.org, to make the indecent attitude and the indecent
behavior very uncool, almost a little creepy. Since the indecent (Narcissist) is completely unaware that the
behavior is so obvious, to make it obvious! To teach in all contexts, from school curricula, to the media and even
in personal encounters, or to clarify in personal encounters that it is generally known and obvious that indecent
behavior is a search for confirmation in an otherwise empty bucket of this. And that the need for confirmation
stems from the liliput person feeling small, tiny deep down..
Sure, it's bordering on indecent, but ultimately it's the
confirmation that's the key word and if you remove it,
you also remove large parts of the motivation for the indecent.
However, these people who are categorized as indecent must be prevented in a much more dogmatic or consistent way
from causing more problems for us (others) in humanity. We recapitulate.
