Not if we keep sitting on our thumbs letting the 5%-ers bully us. It may well be time to stop playing nice.

We're not sitting on our thumbs. With 2,300 years of living in an upside-down world of external authorities controlling and social engineering the masses to suit their wants it's time to increasingly act according to ones own natural conscious authority. Play, act according to your rules. Certainly the anti-civilization doesn't have nor portray or reflect the nature of human consciousness in a rational honest mode. That mode is the mode that out-competes and renders obsolete mysticism-plagued minds.. Business is key to human nature, conscious nature. Conscious man increasingly understands nature to increasingly control nature. Technology advances exponentially, A fundamental underpinning that is information advancing exponentially. (If you want some links, ask).

I assume you've read the explanation of 3,000 new laws each year yet there's massive lawlessness and despite that individuals and society increasingly prosper. That's a system. Not the one the founders wanted ort perhaps even anticipated would go so far astray. But it is what it is and here we are.

A small yet glaring example of the failed premise the anti-civilization system is predicated on:

Take the drug prohibition laws and the system used to implement and enforce them. There's twenty million regular illicit drug users and forty million casual users. If the system is based on valid premise it should be effective in achieving its objective. So we'll proceed as though it is valid.

Suppose next week they drug prohibition system apprehended every person that possessed, used or sold illicit drugs in the last twelve months. That's forty million people being processed though police stations, the courts and fined or imprisoned. I almost forgot, asset forfeiture laws applied.

Figure fifteen million of those "criminals" own a house. Thirty-five million own at least one car and at least one bank account and/or savings account. The asset forfeitures would take in about three trillion dollars. Horary! the taxpayers' government is worth a windfall profit. Sadly, the cost to process and incarcerate half of them costs the taxpayers about six trillion dollars. A net loss of three trillion dollars.

That's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. It yanks at least ten percent of the work force out of the economy. Pushing unemployment up to 15%. That's a huge chunk of the productivity to wipe out of the market economy. Today's market economy is wound much tighter than in the 1930' The effects would be a spiraling depression far worse than the Great Depression.

That's the drug prohibition system underpinned by it's destined to fail invalid premise.

Okay, so along comes some yahoo proclaiming that "the system doesn't work that way and only a tiny fraction would actually be imprisoned. Plea barging alone would greatly reduce the number doing time in prison."

But I don't play by their upside down rules so I say this: "sadly, upon your invalid premise the problem is compounded by charging a person with a lesser crime than they committed. That's a dishonest evasion of reality. If harm was done the person must be charged with the actual crime they committed. Does the murder get charged with assault. The assaulter charged with theft? I'm sure the victims are fuming mad about that. What's that you say? That doesn't happen -- no one gets mad because there are no victims to get mad.

The circle complete, they go on about how society will run headlong into destruction if drug prohibition laws are repealed. To which you say: Oh yeah, just like it self-destructed after alcohol prohibition was repealed. Frankly, what I've witnessed since then is the exponential advancement of technology benefiting people and society. And that's despite massive consensual crime and victim-less crime lawlessness.

In short. It isn't about a collective group effort that will collapse the house of cards. Collective group think is theirs to keep. This is an individual awakening. Awakening to the giant within as one by one people render the old system obsolete and then forget about it.

One-by-one may seem slow. But it's not. It's an exponential like pyramiding. It starts slow but by the time half the pyramid is in place the rest happens almost overnight -- so to speak.

Key: Man increasingly understands nature to increasingly control nature. The conscious mind is controlled by the owner and thus each person is the highest authority.

Almost every person, at first contact, resists themselves being the highest authority. The time-span from first contact/resistance and acceptance has been shrinking. Likewise, the number of individuals waking up is increasing per fixed time. Similar to Moore's Law: doubling of transistors per centimeter every two years and cost of transistors per penny doubling.
