Might the idea of tech. innovation as progress be psychopathic?

A culture accepting a "modernization is progress" philosophy will reap the "benefits" that such seeds sow. By keeping in mind our current pitiful state of an increasing girth of America's belt superimposed onto a concominantly decreasing rate of America's mental growth and increasing rate of reliance upon external technology to provide for us the means to process information to supplement/compensate (maybe a better word might be "validate") our "average" lack of intelligence to resolve/process "trivial" tasks coupled with a "I don't know how it works it just does" mentality an unsettling paradox arises and becomes increasingly obvious by way of the repetitive application of such a philosophy.

The "constructive" processes built into this philosophy undermines True progress. It seems to effectively maintain a strategic separation of intelligence as a by-product of successful re-iteration. It deems a modernizing system as productive, a technologically productive system as modern and a technologically able modernizing system as progressive.

However, technology replaces manual internal, informationally processive tasks with external ones. A product of such an external type is deemed "out-dated" being replaced by an "up-dated/up-graded/cutting-edge" one that has an increased capacity in processing capability dismissing the then internal informational processing system required to maintain progress within the "big picture." This internal, informational processing reductional algorithm as a progressive outcome must effectively reduce current levels of such internal informational processing schemas available. The inevitable outcome is an overall average reduction in the processive capabilities of the individuals subjected to such algorithmic re-iteration.

A symptom of such a reduction would then become apparent as a deficiency of such schemas, that is, a deficiency in average cognitive capabilities. Such cognitively deficient, rather, processively (and progressively) understimulated people increasingly become nothing but a co-optive necessity for such transducive mechanisms as vis-a-vis re-iterations to be deemed a success. This internally destructive/"without cognitive recognition" by-products only help to ensure a successful completion of this algorithmic re-iteration.

Decreases in cognitive recognition of destruction veiled as "The Modernizing of a Society", "Technological Innovations for the 21st Century", etc becomes both as oxymoronic and paradoxical concepts within the light of such perspective and requires honest investigation with an open-mind to bring to light such well hidden cognitive destruction that has skewed perceptions as to the real meaning of progress.

Unfortunately, it seems that much of society today have been successfully deceived by such algorithmic schemas. Though their perceptions are not without good intentions nor without "logically sound" justifications but it is the very adoption of their perceptions without cognizant recognition of those destructive principles veiled within the very system they have chosen to co- opt.

A symptom of such successful algorithms may then seem to appear as an incurable epidemic. Such problems in perception stemming from having chosen to co-opt or having been unconciously co-opted by such a system will remain. Any problem without cognizant recognition cannot be solved. However, "Where there is a will there is always a way."

Caveat: I don't think we should label ideas as psychpathic, but yeah, from my understanding this is the way a psychopath thinks (physical worship).

Kesdjan, I am not certain as to the level of Truth within your statement, " I don't think we should label ideas as psychpathic." The notion of an idea as not being in union with the set of all possible processing schema's available to a psychopathic individual, and with my current level of

understanding of psychopathic "characteristics," may possibly be regarded as a CONSTRICTION to a deeper understanding of the psychopath's subtle/deceitful behavior and, therefore, may NOT help to further protection as an "Applied Knowledge". If so, such statements then serve as protective-inhibiting

constrictions i.e. products of falsely-based assumptions. On the other hand, statements based upon non-assuming, unanticipitory observations may be viewed as Truth-based protective "relaxations". Statements having been accepted as "rational" and based upon false assumptions then

effectively weaken a normal non-psychopath person's defenses to the deviant and perverse schemes of the more cognitively capable type of psychopath and cause major suffering, thus, helping to maximize the psychopath's "feeding" potential. Psychopath's having such larger

capacities for thought may appear to process information that could be argued to be "categorically different" from the "usual and popular" ideologies that are used to describe such behavior. The "usual and popular" notions are based on the minds of CAPTURED criminals and may be

reflected as such in theories that may follow. In the light that a select few individuals have been given (or taken) the responsibility to govern a nation(s) explicitly expressing an aim of being a "Nation of the people, for the people, and by the people" that has been both strategically

constructed and uniformly accepted, with perverse and well hidden motivations, it is both possible and highly likely that those of highly intelligent,"productively" creative, arrogant and horrendously, deceitful capacities and "disinhibted" by lack of "emotional logic " could then use

any means necessary to maintain their cloak. The promotion/maintainance of the ideological separation between such behavior and psychopathy could be instituted to minimize evidence directly linking it and identfiable behavior in schools, hospitals, governments, and around


the globe. If such attempts to remain unrecognizable have been made then "symptoms" should be apparent. Attempted concealment could probably be ascertained by investigating current research and events associated with such characteristics, thus, effectively being used to

"explain away" unusual behavior and, thereby, give to plausible connections a vacuous tone. From such perspectives, then, it might be that such research pertaining to the "Indigo Children" [with a most curious set of "desirable" traits], mercury's and/or flouride's effect on cognition,

the monoamine oxidase A gene, parasitical infection of the brain, etc....may, in some cases, represent attempts to increase a "bank of credible evidence" that eventually precipitates as the "truth" distracting public's conscious perception as to the True nature of their suffering. And so to

disregard the notion that the concept of an idea may be considered as an associated psychopathological product may possibly be welcoming deceit by the very "forces" intending to propagate/promote it.

It is mechanical man thinking. Gurdjieff touches on this in Ouspensky's In Search of the Miraculous (don't remember which page though)

Thank you Domivr and Kesdjan for your responses. I feel I should apologize for not having correctly understood the implications of your remark. I haven't read "In Search of the Miraculous" in its entirety but after having read some of it I feel I understand a bit more completely what you both were trying to convey. I appreciate your response and may we all one day awake from this monotous slumber that has effectively sedated our thinking to a mere mechanical and "predictable" process.

Your response was rather mechanical. What's going on here?

 

[vinny]

to go back to the original question, I'd say yes.
you are talking, in part, about something similar to 'game theory' which reduces everything to a matter of numbers, whereas conscience is completely irrelevant, yet it is portrayed as the most worthy foundation of society.
This is the basis of protocol 4

OOH The irony! WOW....thank you for pointing that out! It is both nice and unpleasant to have someone help me "see" the very process utilized is the one I am striving to escape! Thank you!....and as for what's going on here?....THAT is one purpose I intend to understand......
