This is an attempt to completely analyze the subject of power, from principle to biology to observed social movement. I wrote this originally starting the axioms, and then I tacked on some previous work I had done to describe aspects of the model, and I kept going until I had a relatively complete model and then a complete-ish assortment of timelines, discussion points, and more angles of analysis.The central thesis is this:1. Action Is Primary.2. All Action Is Preceded by a Cognitive Loop.3. The Cognitive Loop Produces the Collective Loop.4. The Collective Loop Is Dominated by One Elite Group.5. The Group Controls the Pen.6. The Group Is Controlled by the Family.For PDF:https://files.catbox.moe/9f1lui.pdfFor markdown:https://dustebin.com/api/pastes/FF_Oao3R.rs/rawGive it a read and let me know what you think. Let me know what you would add too.
>>25158785Sounds like the type of retarded "intellectual" masturbation a Star Wars fan would write.
>>25158796I assure you this is not a masturbatory paper.

Is the op aware of foucault’s essay the order of things
>>25159331I am not, but it looks interesting.
>>25158785who the fuck is the family?
>>25160222The one elite group that is the ruling class is also an extended family.
>>25158785ugly dry writing there's nothing resembling an introduction or a conclusion, I feel you're trying to take me to world of concepts with made up axioms where everything is true and nothing mattersArt has the decency and the thoughtfulness to come pretty when it presents the world it creates, you give me, what, work?Wtf are you trying to say or present here? wtf is this?See, you think writers who have made heavy philosophical and dropped deeply abstract work just dropped them from a void and were read just like that, when the reality is that authors build up their reputation and pretty always anchor themselves in an ongoing philosophical conversation where the questions are clear, the stakes are clear, you lay absolutely nothing down, it's straight to the abstractions and straight to the shitter of my mind
>>25161055I wrote this for myself. You may find it useful or not. I suggest going through the dry details where you have your doubts but otherwise start by trying to understand the higher level narrative first. What is the whole thing doing? It details the nature of power in society, how cognitive power is helpful to individuals trying to attain some level of freedom and power in their lives AND how institutions which can build more abstract centers of power last longer, and what sort of traits would an organization need to stay together and grow through all of that.
