 Our Systems Of Civilization Conditions Us To Become More Primal (page 4)

Our Systems of Civilization corrupt us all to some degree by conditioning us to use primal behavior.  We are in many ways rewarded for acting on destructive primal behaviors.  We are sometimes punished in our civilization for using our values.  Over time we become conditioned as individuals, a culture, and a society.  We become conditioned to the rewards for destructive primal instincts within the civilization.. 

Our higher brain functions tell us there are better ways that are not as destructive to community, nation, nature or people.  But we are addicted and the Systems of Civilization promote, reward and provide the opportunities to maintain those addictions.  The systems are the enabler.   

For example to work and compete within this concrete jungle as predators, scavengers, and parasites we must do things for our employers like pollute, or maybe lie to customers, or maybe sell them something you know for certain they really don’t need….  Ask yourself how you are forced to be a predator, scavenger, or parasite in your job, or maybe to keep your job… 

The environment we live in conditions all of us to perceive reality, to decide and to act in certain primal ways.  To make a civilization truly advanced and with far fewer problems requires a complete reconfiguration of the Systems Of Civilization.  These systems must not motivate, provide opportunities or methods for, or give any rewards for destructive primal behavior, destructive to nature, civilization or people…  That is a correction from the top down.

The correction from the bottom up is a new far more advanced educational system.  A system I designed called VES allows people to learn and practice Cortex Values in computer simulations.  There they make decisions and take actions or no actions based on choices from destructive primal behaviors to values, to Cortex Values.  They choose.  They determine for themselves given all available information what is the best choice.  Their choices are scored based on criteria established by the best and brightest minds in all disciplines (public, not government, not private entities, no power entities). 

By eliminating power entities and properly regulating the process there is no chance of VES conditioning students.  One of the purposes of VES is to break the conditioning.

Unlike what is happening now this is not conditioning because the people are given the full spectrum of information from primal to cortex.  Once it becomes clear that students fully understand all the choices, they are free to choose from the full spectrum of choices.  These choices comprise everything in the realm of possibility and cause and effect. 

Conditioning is an absence of knowledge in the fact that one is being manipulated, and therefore not given free choice.  With VES the students will know all the methods of conditioning and then be free to choose their own destiny for as long as they do no harm to the Systems of Civilization, Nature, or other people.  VES is one of the tools for correcting our problems from the bottom up. 

This systemic conditioning we see today must be broken and can be broken quite easily.  We simply create a new environment based only on Cortex Values (derived from the higher brain and not corrupted by Destructive Primal Behaviors).  These Cortex Values would almost entirely apply to only the Systems of Civilization and those working within them while on the clock, for example public servants and community servants.  This is not about conditioning the people in a new and improved way.  It is about setting them free from the current primal systems that condition them.

That is how we remove the problems caused by our Destructive Primal Behaviors from the top down.  We attack the fundamental causes from the top down and the bottom up.  The more evolved Systems of Civilization then attack the problems from the sides.

Humanity has struggled for thousands of years to replace instincts that originate from the primitive brain with values that come from the higher brain functions, the cortex.  But they have failed because their values come from their cultures, their knowledge, insufficient education, their beliefs, emotions, fears, and all the Systems of Civilization, and everything else which has already been contaminated by the very destructive behaviors they are trying to replace with values.  Their fundamental perception of reality was flawed from the start making it highly unlikely that they would develop Cortex Values. 

They lived in a constant state of internal and external conflict between what they were forced to do in their dog eat dog environment and what their cortex was telling them was the right thing to do.  You may be familiar with that feeling.  I know I was.

Some might visualize this evolved environment as sterile and something out of a sci-fi movie.  I visualize this environment quite different.  I see a world where people are free in every conceivable way except to cause harm.  You will see this too as I explain in ever greater detail how an evolved civilization operates.

As for conditioning this would be a memory of a distant barbaric past.  And yet it must be remembered or else we repeat the mistakes.

When I think of conditioning here in the US I picture prisoners who committed theft crimes or most other crimes of greed.  They were conditioned through advertising, society, culture, through most forms of media to maintain a certain level of social ranking with all the amenities.  Of course in a hostile primitive economy someone is stuck being the prey so they failed by their conditioned standards.  Feeling like an outcast, a social pariah, feeling as though they have nothing to lose, they turn to stealing to acquire what will boost their social ranking.

Had our Systems of Civilization not done such an incredibly thorough job of conditioning these people they might not have risked all.  Had these primitive systems provided them honest opportunities and an environment free of conditioning they would not be in jail.  They would not have broken the laws.  Tax payers would be saddled with far fewer financial burdens. 

Yes there are other motivations for theft crime.  But we are focused here on conditioning.  We should not blame them but instead our own primitive civilization.   We create the criminals who are truly the victims.  Then we create more victims tax payers, and more victims still, those who are victimized by the convicts who are now far better trained and less likely to have a conscience when they leave prison.  After all they feel as though they are now bigger pariahs than ever before.

We must educate all people how to be free of conditioning, and free of Destructive Primal Behaviors from the bottom up.  We must create a more evolved environment free of these problems and the many others that stem from them.  The environment and everything in it must not permit the conditioning of people.  For example the economy must not be configured to reward greedy people for conditioning others on how to primitively perceive success and failure.  The Causality Formula reconfigures the Systems of Civilization so that ALL the systems do not condition. 

Then and only then will we be closer to the freedom that makes each of us, as individuals, happy as we ‘freely choose’ to be.    

Important: This article is a continuation that explains how the Causality Formula works.  If you have not read the previous articles please read page 1 first.  It will help you understand how this formula can solve personal, national and global problems.
