Society will eventually devolve into a totalitarian regime

The title of this debate and Pro's position is, “Society will eventually devolve into a totalitarian regime. ” Where Con's position is, society's evolution is based on the natural cycle between Liberty and Tyranny. Although these positions may sound similar, the machinery of this process is vastly different between Pro and Con. The variables of Social evolution is large but ranked. Con will demonstrate the two most important variables are Freedom and Morality. A proper understanding of these variables are key in understanding this cycle in social evolution. Freedom and Morality are part of the physical Laws of Nature, not man-made; they are an outgrowth of Unalienable Rights, which is an outgrowth of the Constructal Law, which is an outgrowth of the Laws of Thermodynamics. . http://www.amazon.com... . http://www.amazon.com...Please bear with me in covering the traceability path from Thermodynamics to Morality, an important background to understand the “invisible hand” of nature. Thermodynamics deals with the direction of energy flow. Constructal Law deals with patterns and systems generated by this energy flow as a function of optimization relative to resistance, in the evolution of biology, physics, technology and social organization. At the biological level once alive, “Life,” must have the freedom (“Liberty” or optimization relative to resistance), in “the pursuit (energy flow) of ” survival; otherwise, there is no life. Since we have life, survival is a form of positive-feedback and a prerequisite for human “Happiness. ” Hence, Thomas Jefferson's discovery, which he declared “self-evident” and used the labeled Unalienable Rights representing a polished version of this biological energy flow in the following celebrated statement, “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. ” Here is a video overview of the Constructal Law:. http://www.youtube.com...Morality is an outgrowth of life's Unalienable Rights in group formation. The binary values of morality is Right (moral) or Wrong (immoral). The objective of morality is doing Right keeping a group alive. That is, when two or more humans form a group, the group becomes alive. The life of the group is sustained through goodwill and kindness leads to a mutual moral respect for embracing the Unalienable Rights of the members within the group. Goodwill promotes order, stability, and harmony through the pursuit of group-wide positive feedback. Over time, group-wide positive feedback is the genesis of traditions, social values, beliefs, language, etc. , the norms of society. These norms are tried and tested, and conservatively pass down from one generation to the next establishing its culture. A moral order guides an individual in the prudent exercise of judgment relative to those norms, going with the social flow minimizing civil resistance (Constructal Law). The individual in a civil society strives, albeit imperfectly, to be virtuous; that is, restrained, ethical, and honorable, respecting and embracing the Unalienable Rights of others relative to those tested norms. The empirical evidence of the diversity of language and culture throughout history and today demonstrates the universality of morality in group formation. Morality simply refers to the binary state of Right or Wrong. These states generate mutual positive- or negative-feedback, relative to the Unalienable Rights of another. Mutual positive-feedback, in group creation, is found throughout the spectrum of life in the beneficial formation in schools of fish, flocks of birds, packs of wolves, tribes of humans, and in addition, inter-specie relationships, such as those between humans and their pets. Getting back to governance. Jefferson's discovery of Unalienable Rights found its way in the design of the US Constitution. The prime objective of the US Constitution is to embrace and protect the individual's Unalienable Rights from the crimes of others and from the crimes of government, no more, no less. The state governments did all the rest. This event set off a social experiment, where in just a short period of 200-years, changed the world like no other society in recorded history, through the fruits of technology, food production, and medicine, the stables of human existence throughout the world today. A compelling example of what happens when our Unalienable Rights are morally free to flow, having minimal resistance (Constructal Law), within the awesome machinery of nature, the “invisible hand. ”A good overview of the US system of government relative to others, is in the following:. http://www.youtube.com...Combining the background from the above Constructal Law overview with the overview of the US system of government and its presentation on Capital and market-systems; in the following presentation, it all comes together starting with the familiar pattern of a tree (Constructal Law), ending with the “invisible hand” representing Freedom and Morality, all guided by the Laws of Nature, absent of a human “mastermind. ” . http://www.youtube.com...Getting back to the cycle of Liberty and Tyranny, all life has Unalienable Rights including all social entities, for they too are living-systems. One may treat Unalienable Rights as a bio-program, where once alive, or a social entity comes into existence, there is a natural desire to grow, improve and prolong “Life,” craving more freedom (“Liberty” or optimization relative to resistance), “the pursuit (energy flow) of ” an objective; once accomplished, positive-feedback (“Happiness”). At this point it should be clear there is a constant struggle between the Unalienable Rights of a social institution as in a government, relative to the Unalienable Rights of the individual. That is, the more freedom a government has, the less freedom for the individual and vice versa. This push-pull between government and individual is a constant struggle throughout the ages, and there is no reason why this social cycle will ever end. However, throughout the ages this social cycle is on a slow uphill evolutionary course on the road to utopia, a road seemingly having many potholes. Relative to Pro's vantage point everything seems to be “devolving” not evolving. We have been in a natural cycle of what appears to be a move towards tyranny. This is natural when the institution of government controls education pushing persuasive ideology that will subtly benefit the government, unbeknownst to the individual, restricting their Unalienable Rights in the outcome. This is reflected in most of Pro's talking points, of population, environmental issues, etc. , dogma found in most government controlled educational institutions. Such dogma gives the illusion government needs to grow, receive more freedom (aka money from taxes) to solve all those problems with public pleasantries, having the unannounced side effect of less freedom for the individual. In the US this process started about a hundred years ago, and continues today as the populist are starting to question while they feel the pain from tyranny. As in the example of the above youtube presentation of the natural migration from a republic, to a democracy, to an oligarchy. For the most part the US is in a post constitutional era---no longer a republic, currently transitioning from a democracy to an oligarchy. For example, many would be surprised to learn that we lost our freedom years ago. For example, if the oligarch in DC wants to incarcerate, or spoil one's day, or freeze one's bank accounts, etc. , they could because there are so many laws on the books, on the average we commit 3 felonies a day. . http://www.amazon.com... . http://blogs.loc.gov... As Lavrenti Beria, chief of Josef Stalin's secret police, once stated, “You bring me the man, I'll find you the crime. ” In time, groups of individuals wakeup; hence, unrest, revolutions, economic collapse, etc. In the case of the US, there is a group objective to restore the US Constitution---fix DC, via the State governments. . http://www.youtube.com...http://www.amazon.com...Such efforts to restore the US Constitution is a clear demonstration of the next cycle-phase of Tyranny moving towards Liberty. It is not that “society will eventually devolve into a totalitarian regime,” today many societies are moving in the direction of liberty, and starting to understand a set of totalitarian “masterminds” are inferior to the benefits of the “invisible hand. ” . http://www.youtube.com...Here is a 1980 classic set of series, with commentaries from elites between the series. Interesting and constructive dialog between elites who support Liberty with those who embrace Tyranny. A microcosm of the cycles between Liberty and Tyranny. . http://www.youtube.com...
