A world without order...

[Ran]

Ran/Maniac: How do you live your lives now? Do you follow the current theories that you have spoken of in this thread?

I am currently as much of a victim of the system as the rest of you. I'm merely expressing theory and philosophy to see what it lands. Perhaps a change is to be made.

IIRC, Paul said it, but we have structure to avoid chaos. Even with structure chaos is still possible, but to a much lesser extent. Sure we would all like to do as we please, but our human nature will not allow us to be completely civil. Yes, people do abuse the hierarchy/rules, but that further proves our need for such checks and balances.

Structure does not eliminate chaos at all. It merely controls it through the enforcement of fear. Fear of punishment by one's peers and thus, the regulations set by one man to govern another. It isn't right. Civility is what you make of it and humanity by no means as distant from animals as it would like to make itself out to be.

Ran, you proposed wiping the earth of technology, health care, and etc. I strongly feel that IF we were to somehow remove all that is on this earth now, and pickup the sticks, we would kill each other off in a matter of years, or the mindset many people have now would run rampant and start the process over again.

One can't say for sure until faced with the situation. I don't believe that humanity would eliminate itself, but I can forsee the restructuring of a society by those not wishing to do anything for themselves and have their meals delivered to them on a plate. These kinds of people are the very reason we are where we are. No drive, no passion, no determination. Only the sad wastefulness that desires their existence to be led for them.
