Open Letter to the Power

it's a wooden mixing spoon with a red handle on a bamboo placemat. On the spoon is written in black permanent ink, like woddy Guthrie's guitar, it says, "This machine kills socialists."

There is no quick way to say this stuff; please bear with me.

I think I know what’s going on, you’re scared. We’re all in this jar together and it’s shaking, so you’re looking at me, I mean the party is over, there are no more unexploited horizons and resources are limited, so you’re looking at me and what was it, me and seven billion other folks? I get it. I mean you have all the data in the world, you ought to be scared. All I have is your scraps that you want me to have, and reading between your lines of propaganda, and I know enough to be scared.

And so you’re going traditional, applying the tried and true response, it’s never let you down. Or you wouldn’t be here, right? And I know, you wouldn’t have to do it, if only they would bloody do what they’re meant to, but they’re forever going mad and trying to bite the feeding hand, aren’t they?

Hmm. That rolled off the tongue a little too easily, but really, it’s no secret how the ruling classes think, is it?

Bear with me, I think I have something, I think I’ve figured something out. Despite that you and your sort have nearly obscured every last bit of what is real from people, I think I have managed to read between the lines and figured out what is really going on, and in that framing, surprisingly, we all sort of want the same thing, we could all benefit from the same knowledge and the same actions. I know, and despite it’s where I’ve always been heading, I’m surprised too. The journey is long but eventually, suddenly you’re there.

Why do the subjects constantly reject their station? Why are they so sure they can do better and when have their revolutions made things better? Am I right?

I think I can answer these eternal questions.

I’ll have to retract, “eternal,” in the process, but you know what I mean.

First of all, humans are not all one sort, there has never been any study or any scientific theories to prove humans are all one sort, that’s not a science argument, not a reality based argument, that’s just a property of one of the types to think it, to apparently be born certain of it, or at least certain that it ought to be that way. It’s not an argument, it’s a clash of genes, and different sorts of humans, importantly, different between the ears.

I’ll have to modify, “born certain of it,” at some point, it suggests forever, and that’s not true, but it’s close enough. If it were really that simple, if they were truly certain, one would have to question why they feel they constantly have to reiterate it to everyone and to themselves. But you know what I mean: it’s practically the only available thought on the subject, that people are all the same, because your born certain of it type rules the world.

All of the majority sort’s wisdom regarding people falls under that certainty. I suspect it is definitive of neurotype, what we think about people, how we think about people, and as I said, I’m certain it is definitive of the majority type. But this is not to expand and globalize here.

There’s a particular bit of people knowledge we are concerned with regarding the question of the great, untameable unwashed, and it is the authoritarian, alphabetical social structure of many intelligent creatures. The alpha/leader model that we see in mostly mammals, and perhaps most saliently in primates. Not everyone thinks humans have alphas, I think that’s what the scientists say, we don’t – but you think we do, don’t you?

A lot of people do, and an outsize number of them think the alpha is them, and this is funny, of course it’s the men. You don’t hear much about human female alphas, do you? Do today’s alpha men seem to prefer a passive wife? That’s a new thought, maybe a distraction, if it doesn’t go anywhere, we’ll edit that out. My line of thinking is always finding more and when I edit to purge, the thing gets longer.

A lot of people think that, surely the Power thinks humans have alphas and they are it. That science says, “no,” is understandable, the normal signs may not be present, the Illuminati are not necessarily bigger and stronger than anyone else, heredity of the alpha is never clear . . . I think they’ve identified alpha genes in some primate, maybe chimpanzees? some difference from the zeta sorts and found no such difference in us.

Nevertheless, many of are born certain about it, aren’t we? This is what I think I can answer.

Humans do have alphas, they don’t have zetas. I mean, not anymore, almost.

The majority sort, eighty-five percent of current humankind are alphas. Women too. Of course an alpha is born certain of their own existence. Of course they wouldn’t find a genetic difference if it were just about everyone.

Have you heard about the orangutans’ situation regarding the alpha business?

I only heard it very recently, on Sapolsky’s podcast, apparently orangutans are alpha-flexible like those tropical fish are gender-flexible. Orangutans lose an alpha, somebody else steps up, and grows all the signs, the big face: they all have the alpha genes. There is cheating, like among the baboons and the chimpanzees (well, not exactly like that), but it doesn’t slow the drift of the alphas genes, it’s too late, at some point in orangutan history, the alphas had it all their way and all of todays orangutans are the alpha’s children.

You see where we’re going?

The proletariat cannot learn their place because it is not their place, not biologically. They are not zetas or any such, it’s the old saying, every Greek is a king – because nearly every human is an alpha. It is in human history too (perhaps nearly within memory). At some point the alphas had it all their way, and most of humankind are their children. Most, because there are still a few uncontacted families in the world, plus different currents of human genetics, families of the majority, alpha sort can still produce passive sorts, somehow. Still, it looks like evolutionary drift, the alpha genes want us all, and given time, they will get us. Again, the point here is they already got most of us.

Perhaps a tangent, but necessary: the orangutan population has been considerably pared down; perhaps this wasn’t very long ago in their history, either, and there is a hint from anthropology, about violent social disintegration as an effect of violent colonization, and my writing, usually directed less specifically would even ask if our change this way has somehow caused theirs? Good Lord, the things this thinking allows me to say!

You, the actual current serving alphas are living an alpha’s worst nightmare, as an orangutan or a currently “normal,” human, you have no willing subjects, and every other ape of your species out there wants your wife and your head and your job, no wonder you’re scared. You should be. I am. I have said throughout my search, that spanking is the great equalizer, that even the super rich have a real reason to be aggrieved. The myth that you’re happy hides the truth, no human is allowed to be happy and no alpha can be happy in a world of alphas where their even their parents greet them into the world with a fight.

I’m not going to talk about what’s right and wrong, this isn’t a moral appeal, I’m just telling you how things work and what happens, everyone is a moralist, you can decide for yourself, but so far, you haven’t had the right information and so you’ve been making all the wrong choices.

Here’s the thing. Your can’t fail, tried and true response is what got you here. Your purges, abuse, and threats pare the population down to nothing but aggressive alpha competitors, because evolution.

If it’s a tournament, with a limited number of entrants and a time limit, sure, fight and kill your way to life, but that is not the situation, is it? The problem is these living, unruly humans, and you don’t make them passive by beating and killing them, that’s fight training and it’s an evolutionary filter that produces nothing but alphas, and they get more alpha all the time. Every time you purge them, first, you get the easy ones first, the real threats are harder to kill, concentrating and growing strength in your supposed enemies, and also the survivors get sharper and your situation gets more dangerous. You are providing exactly the environment to make people ungovernable, indeed, unsustainable.

Most of my blogs end in the mandatory, “When you succeed in killing the world, you’ll die too,” trying to make it in your interest to change in Darwinian terms, but truly if things don’t end and manage to continue, they will still just keep getting worse for the living, more hungry alpha warriors with fewer zetas to grow the food.

If you’re born certain that people are all the same, then it is part and parcel of it that you are certain they don’t change, or how then would they all stay the same? It’s creationism or something very closely related to it that is the premise of the human alpha brain, and I suppose the alphabetical social structure is part of it, it’s a common genetic alpha brain path, but you Illuminati, the Power, you need to alter that path, you’ve missed the history and that world is in the past. You need to understand that you cannot treat a population of alphas like you would a population of zetas and expect anything to work the same way.

Every king surely tells his children, know your people, but if you think they are born with a passive response, you do not know your people. As long as you think that but they are actually born with an aggressive one, you will use the stick, picking a fight and brewing revolution when the carrot would bring the passive response you probably actually wanted. This premise in your mind, that there are natural subjects, isn’t true. It obviously isn’t working, but it’s one of those ideas that isn’t getting reasoned away because it isn’t reason that put it there, it comes with the alpha gene set.

This is the bit, the common ground.

It could be true. You could stop breeding dictators and revolutionaries, you could shut down your alpha factory and see the resurgence of a more passive and sustainable human, a human who you don’t have to be too afraid of to take your boot off of their neck. Wouldn’t that be lovely? Even in the alphabetical model, aren’t there supposed to be a majority of people simply living there lives, like that was worth doing in itself? Isn’t the fighting just supposed to be your job, so most of us can just keep doing that?

I think even if we found our way back that simple, brutal animal arrangement, it would be an improvement. I think even having some alphas wouldn’t be as bad as having all alphas, so I think my desire for some peace and the current serving alpha’s desire for power with some order – I think we want the same thing, a passive population. I know, crazy.

I’m going to lose my red card over this, aren’t I?

I mean, it doesn’t look like that now, presently, we look dedicated to the alpha factory. I’m trying to cover both possibilities, that as alphas, you think that having so many wars that you just start to say, “the” war, like “the sea,” is good, you are sure that war is your best life, and the chance that it’s a series of misunderstandings, again, even the scientists seem to say there’s a world of zetas out there to be ruled when they say we have no alphas. If you knew different, you’d try to change your approach, wouldn’t you?

Could you?

I’m saying, even your cynical, brutal vision of primal man with one big boss and everyone in their place would be better than what we actually have now thanks to your ham handed attempts to create it out of the wrong genetic material.

What those attempts have been comprised of, again, that’s usually framed in a moral manner, which the Power simply has their own moral answers for, but it’s simply been violence, your one size fits all answer for everything, and it’s been giving you the opposite of what you supposedly want, your precious supremacy is gone, you’ve made equals of them, trained them how to be strong. You gave away your special genes with your prima nocta, banging the slave girl behaviour, and now despite that is only half of a social equation and the other half is nearly gone, you are still busy growing your half of a whole that no longer exists.

If you do this, your usual response when the jar shakes, if you continue as you are, the living and your problems with the living only get worse. Your call, of course.
