The State is Doomed! 24-26

24. A stateless society is often viewed as a land of continual war. Perhaps other factors are responsible. Yet, many states are no better. Indeed, many failed states are the resultant product of external state imperialism and interference. Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia, have collapsed for this very reason. In the past, empires would simply demand tribute. Modern empires attempt to externally impose systems and legitimacy–mostly succeeding at neither. Meanwhile, their own states fragment.

25. Things fall apart on their own. Patches only work for so long. Systemic corruption is a brake. Reform is always lukewarm. Power cannot change its fundamental state. Why say more? Less is preferable–at least stop boring everyone. Directly, the power structure does little for most. Loyalty is fading away toward other things. The State is stubborn, but cannot undo the damage and loss. By their inherent nature, tools become dull and break with age. Verbal worlds cannot stop the break. Verbal Worlds are only a mask on reality. The universe does not care about such things; it will always reign supreme. The mass mind is a weak substitute for the singular. Always different, the whole is sometimes less. The whole does not even care about itself. The means is an end.

26. Civilization is not guaranteed to be universal. The State is not guaranteed to be universal. Universal concepts are an error. The simple desire simplicity; the complicated yearn for complexity. Belief does not make reality. The universe poorly accommodates vanity and arrogance. Stupidity is resolute; it does not know itself wrong. Error does not exist; only mistakes to be buried. The population cannot grasp anything more complicated than the lowest and base. A sucker is born every minute. Idiots are allowed their say.
