Add one more layer to Collectivism.

Just as molecules are made up of atoms and subatomic particles - protons, neutrons, electrons form atoms we have layers upon layers in the various structures of philosophy and applied philosophy. This one I chanced upon today in the form of the political collective.

Heretofore we considered it a collection of those who were unable to think of reason or who refused to do so. Go along get along and doing as they are told to do without deviation. In orbit is sort of ruling class super molecule composed of self appointed intelligentsia with all manner of magic wands and incantations - the ruling class.

They in turn rotate around a Father Figure with yearnings to be a mother figure and the whole rotate around the Ultimate Father Figure or secular Diety - if we were talking about secular progressives and the left - for example.

It turns out the main collective has an intermediary layer called Interest Groups. Management of the whole has gotten a bit out of hand so the Ruling Class provided this assistance to it's collective.

The thin but all encompassing shell of the collective fulfills several functions. Early detection of thinking, a wall against escape, on the spot re-education camps and the like. Ordinary every day hum drum management tools. Some are a bit militaristic of course and some deal in education or the removal of same.

Some provide an illusion of the collectives governing system we call them incumbents or union bosses. and similar perjoratives. But they don't mind as they too are part of the collective though many suffer from delusions of grandeur. Congressionals are largely in this category.

Short definition is Special Interest Groups and they often are the go betwixt and between connections to other collectives.

There are more than one of these and they all have commonality especially in the Interest Groups arena. Those seeking promotion to the mother ship of the ruling class often ask for more funds the better to perform their mission. Which is why the term Special was added. It was in lieu of a pay raise.

How then shall we rise above the others and to the status of Mother Ship crew?

"You can't. your a humanoid. And for thinking those unclean contaminated thoughts you are now an Interest Grouper. Care to try for Common Core status? No? We didn't think so.

We have an opening for a new Special Interest Group Leader and if thou shalt repent we might offer the position.

I repent! I repent! Yes please i do and I will.

Middle Intermediate Class Reformation Operations Organizer or MIcro Organizer.

Wow can I use it to run for President?

Yes that is the goal. How do you think Obama got his job? Give it a try. Your Chief Micro Organizer you know as Hillary or MicroWwotL. If you can figure out the puzzle which is not a mis-spelling you may rise to her job for your next promotion. With that you get a BIG pay raise.

Hmmm any clues.

No we really don't want you to be more than what you are. I think we shall do away with that position anyway. She's more trouble than she's worth.

And if I can explain the riddle?

Then you would have been one of us already. Instead of part of the collective.

    You should make a movie with that theme. (the whimsy part).
    Wouldn't be surprised if it has already been done...can visualize the scenes but can't quite place it.

    Julian Jaynes was correct in observing that language was the driver that got us a conscious mind and some assemblance of self control...so by confounding that language, it would certainly put us off our game, It's a sin to be smarter than your rulers; (thank you Nimrod) and continued time and time again would produce a de-evolution back into the bicameral brain, permanently severing the connection between left and right halves: ='s progressivism: forward to the days of Babylon and the tower.
    Stalin's and Wilson's useful idiots into obobo's corrupted useless idiots.

    Ahhh...back in the kakistocracy again...

    I mentioned this in ipassing in another thread concerning the Atlas Society. The disconnect between ruling class and ruled classes is being filled with Special Interest Groups. Not as a form of a Reublic or even democratically elected at the lower levels but as replacement for the two parts to have any need to connect.

    The first part above is correct the narrative area is a bit of whimsy in celebration of my promotion.
    Stephen King? I'll have to improve.
