Children and Relationships in Society

The podcast can be found here: children and relationships in society


A child is the most one will leave behind at their eventual demise as a human being. This is shown by the fact that one, parents provide the essentials of life for their child, food, water. shelter, and clothing for that child. These essentials are provided for the sole reason that parents of a child desire for that child to survive and thrive.

If the parents where not vested in that child’s survival the relationship between the child and the parents would be different. Food, water and shelter are life, the parents provide this.

That there is a relationship between a child and parents is obvious, but it must not be forgotten what the first law of everything, the first law of information says. A law that is backed with scientific reality because if you can find something that falls outside this law, you are a very special and unique person. This scientific reality is that everything is in a relationship. The first law of everything states that all relationships lead to a loss of freedom due to the energy needed to maintain them.

The loss of freedom due to energy needed is obvious enough when we see the parents use energy and thus lose freedom by feeding, providing shelter, and clothing their children. Note all these activities take time, signifying they need energy. On the parent’s side of the relationship there is also another activity that must be carried out to ensure the child’s survival. Parents must impart the knowledge they know about survival to their offspring. They must pass on this knowledge to ensure a child will survive, because one day that child will be an adult and must get their own food, shelter and clothing and the extra accessories of life like a television, fancier clothes, holidays.

Knowledge is the most important resource that child will ever have, nothing can be done without knowledge. The knowledge the parents impart to their child is about they have been exposed to. It is about past relationships and locations that the parents have been through and their present circumstances. A child’s first view of the world is generally that of their parents and what their parents expose them to.

When one talks of the first law of everything there is the reality that there is a loss of freedom. This loss of freedom is a scientific term. The word loss is usually associated with negative connotations, loss of a loved one, loss of money, loss of a job, loss is taken as the opposite of gain that is a good thing. Loss, perhaps in the future a better word will be invented that describes a loss of freedom.

True, a loss of freedom truly implies lost freedom, but it need not be negative. Without that loss of freedom, a relationship will not be possible. Humans are social creatures and need to be in relationships, more importantly one is in a relationship with their child, how can this be negative. A loss of freedom when talking about relationships is not always a negative, here both the parent and the child gain from the loss of freedom.

Not all relationships are a gain for both parties even if both parties must lose energy to maintain the relationship. Take the relationship between the slave and the slaves master. In this relationship the slave has lost freedom in the literal sense because the slave must do the masters beckoning. It must also be acknowledged that the master too loses freedom. Those loss of freedom is bad for the slave in terms of life, but they do get food, shelter and clothing from the arrangement. The master’s loss freedom, time must be spent talking with the slaves to see which slaves are best for showing off to guests, who does the best of doing the masters bidding best. To see and manage the slaved takes time, meaning energy is being used, the one who is the master could be doing something else in another relationship.

As the Master must spend time with the slave that means that they have lost freedom, this loss of freedom is more beneficial however for the master than the slaves. What is important is that both the master and the slave are in a relationship and both lose freedom because relationships need energy to maintain them.

Thus, when passing on knowledge to  their child, a slave, being in the location they are in, and the relationships they are in will pass on that knowledge of being a slave to their child, and how best to survive given the circumstances. A parent passes on knowledge to their offspring that they are familiar with.

The relationship far stronger than anything is the reality that the master provides food, shelter, clothing, the basic needs of staying alive, of human survival for the slaves Thus when the slave passes on knowledge to their child, the reality that the master provides food, shelter and clothing if a slave is done what is required of them and these can be withdrawn if the slave does not do what is required of them.

The slave child is taught that the relationship between them and the master in principle is that their life’s are controlled by master and thus all their works belong to master. If for example the master makes chairs, and the slave innovates a new way to make a more comfortable chair, that idea belongs to master and will be credited to master and master will reward them perhaps with some extra rations.

The master too has lost freedom in the relationship as all relationships lead to a lose of freedom due to the energy needed to maintain them. Though the master distributes food to the slave, it is the slaves work that allow the master to have food to distribute. The master’s shelter is cared for by slaves, the masters clothing is due to the works of the slave. The master’s life would be very different without slaves.

The child of the master will as the child of the slave be taught the very basics of life from their parents. They will understand that they run the slave’s life’s and the slaves must produce work for them. They will understand that the slaves provide food, shelter, and clothing and all the other extras and luxuries that are from the works of the slaves.

The child of the master will be taught how to control slaves and to make sure the relationship between slave and master lasts for as long as possible, preferably for ever from the masters viewpoint, and they will impart this knowledge of how best they think is the way to keep ones slaves in place.

The master’s child will be taught that all the works from the slaves are primarily for his benefit in principle. If for example they own a chair making business and a slave finds a way of making a more comfortable chair, that idea belongs to them not the slave. If a slave finds an innovative way of making chairs, that idea belongs to them not the slave. The harvest the slave plants and gathers belongs to them, the slave is last to be considered in society, the master’s child is taught how to maintain this relationship.

Both children learn from their parents the way of the world and the best way to survive in this world according to the relationships the parents understand. This knowledge is given because parents want the child to be able to get their own food, water, shelter and clothing, this knowledge is passed on because both the slave and the master want their children to survive.

The parent’s loss of freedom is clear, but what about the child’s loss of freedom? This should also be obvious. Children at birth are fully dependent on their parents, to a less degree until they can manage to get water, food, shelter and clothing for themselves. Again, it is a loss of freedom when one looks at it scientifically. Being dependent on the parents it is obvious a child must lose a lot of energy in the relationship with the parents. This loss of freedom is not a bad thing at all, they have time to adjust to society in a protected environment.

As a child is the most one will leave behind at death, all parents want the best for their child. Another important factor in the relationship between parent and child is the protection of that child to the best of their ability, given circumstances. This protection of the child informs telling the child the rules of society and their place in society. This message must be conveyed to the child for the child’s safety. A slave child must quickly know their place. But even then, a parent will not want slavery for their child, but would be merely protecting that child by letting them know their place in society.

The parents of the slave child want their child to be the best they can be, they know that slavery is not. They plant the crop, harvest the crop, they wish their child would be more. In a society like ancient Rome, slaves did vast amount of duties, they worked in the mines, they counted masters money, they worked in the docks, tutored the masters children, cooked the masters food, where doctors to the masters children, prostitutes, the more skill a slave had the more valuable they where.

Romans where more practical about slavery, they understood that to be a slave was bad luck, a physician is a profession that requires great skill, yet one might end up as a slave. Being a slave thus one just had to accept their lot, nobody wasted time in pretending it was about inferiority of the mind but inferiority of arms. There was no pretense, arms are what kept people slaves. The master’s child would be taught how to organize in case a resource like a slave wanted to be free. There where slave riots because nobody wants to be a slave.

The slave laborer and the slave accountant, or tutor all got the same reward perhaps in different proportions, they got food, water, shelter, and clothing from master. Their children would have to learn their skills belong to master, their minds belong to master, master gets all the credit and in public master will gain a lot of prestige from the knowledge of slaves. Nothing belongs to the slave, even the slave’s body does not belong to the slave that is why slaves where sold out by master for sexual favors, or even perform sexual acts as entertainment for guests.

This is the reality of slavery, the master’s child is taught to understand that nothing belongs to the slave, not their bodies, not their minds, and the child will be taught to use any technique, including death to keep this relationship.

Other slave societies used techniques different from the Romans, whilst the Romans accepted that a slave can have a great mind, but their lot is still slavery, other slave societies convinced themselves either through religion, or race that the slave has no humanity, it has an inferior mind, making slavery easier. The master’s child will be taught to dehumanize the slave, the slave is subhuman. They can never be like master because they are less human tending towards beasts.

The parents of the slave have to deal with this message and convey it to their child. Consider themselves subhuman and would be lost without master. Very different from Roman approach that considered it bad luck to be a slave, but one could be civilized, and in some cases, like Greek slaves, they could civilize the Roman.

The master depends on the parents conveying the message that the slave child is inferior to the master’s child, thus by nature all the advantages of life must go to the master’s child as the slave child is inferior as a human being. The slave has no need to read, so with all the deception in the relationship the slave was not allowed to read, what harm would it do to let an inferior subhuman read, it should be as amusing as watching a chimpanzee learn sign language, or a parrot saying hello, hello, I lie to my self hello, things like that.

As knowledge is so valuable to survive, those claiming others as subhuman have to deny knowledge can come from a subhuman, this needs to be implanted in their child, for their youngster’s survival, remove any what is considered competition. One can always see the pecking order in society, who has been taught that knowledge is useless and the culture has spread in the group, the system has taught them knowledge is meaningless for them and over generations total disregard for knowledge and scientific thought, the thinking process. Confusing principles with the source of the principle, when the master has always taken the principle, never confusing it with the source, thus the knowledge of the slave belonged to them. They are left ridiculing themselves as they degenerate knowledge, as what a slave master would desire.

That a slave was refused the right to learn how to read and write, and thus the slave’s child, it was an admission by the master that they are human beings and all human beings want better for themselves and their children. These tools must be removed from access to the slave. The master conveys this message as essential to their child, as important for their child’s survival in this zero-sum world. The slave cannot be anything but subhuman. It is about how the child will have access to food, water, shelter, clothing and the comforts around how they get access to these essentials. Who has first claim to these essentials? Whose child in the future has first claims to these essentials.

The reality is everything is random, knowledge can come from anywhere, Rome understood this and took the knowledge of the skilled slaves. Whites understood this in the Atlantic slave trade and immediately warned of treason to give a slave the ability to read and a gun. Everybody knows this.

The right thing for a parent to do is to teach the child that everything is random, knowledge, the tool that helps us identify and acquire food, shelter, and clothing is a random phenomenon like everything else in the existence. Anybody who says otherwise is a liar and is looking for a psychological tool to help disguise what they are up to. Any deviation from this is somebody wanting first claim to food, shelter and clothing, needing to justify a culture that gives them first claim to the resources. Culture is a great deal about relationships in society over superficial things. Superficial things and concepts are used to justify a culture.

The parent must then do what they can to make sure that child will have the best knowledge available to them understanding that everything is random, human relationships are random, the knowledge one has access to is random and the relationship one has with that knowledge is how long was the relationship, how much energy and time was spent investigating that particular discipline. When the child has enough knowledge, they make the discipline theirs and have a personal imprint. No 2 fighters fight the same even if they spent years doing the same style of fighting taught by the same person because everything is random and in randomness there is abundance even if just in variety. And in that variety, we see the best for that moment. This is true with all disciplines; we don’t know where the next piece of knowledge is coming from at this moment.

A child knowing everything is random, even if they make choices that go bad, at least they learnt from the most trustworthy source that everything is random, all choices involve a risk. What is important is that the child must observe, if the process seems not random what is causing this? Just to recognize social patterns, like when one calls people protestors and another time rioters.

A child should be aware that as humans, everybody wants it easy, their pockets will be picked all the time even if they can do nothing about it. But the ideal is when people accept it’s random and all that implies without one putting ones ego in the way, ones expectations in the way of a random process. If somebody says it should not be random, they must tell us why those who are getting this protection have a claim to this protection from a random process more than the next human being.

Coronavirus and Human Relationships



Epidemics and pandemics have been around since the dawn of humanity. It is a dangerous planet in many ways and we just must accept the reality. Human knowledge has come a long way since those first pandemics tens of thousands of years ago. The coronavirus, Covid 19 of today, it attacks humanity as the internet age is well established, and the principles that led to the creation of the internet are vastly important as humans leave behind the age of fire and enter the phase when humans use specific radiation for specific tasks.

Fire was our first control of radiation and it has taken us to the age where some humans are contemplating on how to settle on worlds beyond this planet. The control of fire has brought us this far. Fire boiled the water and sterilized utensils thousands of years ago, reducing the chances of pandemics. Cooking food reduced the pathogens we took into our stomachs.

We shall discuss fire in a further podcast, this coronavirus has disturbed the sequence of the podcast and obviously other planned undertakings all over the world. Take care of what is in your hands, what is in other hands is not up to you.

The human knowledge that has increased since the dawn of humanity is not only about pandemics and the pathogens that cause these epidemics and pandemics. We understand far more about what type of relationships these viruses have with the humans. A relationship that clearly humans dread and would rather not have that relationship. Humans understand that these viruses just need a host that fits specific parameters and organization of information.

Not forgetting that a human being and that virus are made up of the same thing, basic particles, and stuff even finer as proved in colliders. This stuff we have called konke, because the man who pointed out what is happening in every experiment with a collider, in his language konke is everything, and he termed that finest of particles, the stuff that goes into every basic particle, konke.  Both the human and the virus are just information organized in a different manner because of relationships. As both the virus and the human being are made up of basic particles, but different relationships that basic particles are having with each other such that we can categorize some types of relationships that basic particles and atoms as viruses, and other relationships as human beings.

As everything is made up of the same stuff and it all has the same basic characteristics, I have said much about this over the years, the virus needs other pieces of living information to have certain conditions so that it can thrive. Sometimes the human fits this bill according to how the virus is structured. As all relationships take energy to maintain, when a virus gets into a relationship with a human, it does not want to waste its energy under conditions that it can not thrive. This is why pandemics are a random event.

Pandemics and epidemics are random events because the pathogens are not always equipped with the right type of energy to make a relationship with human beings such that whatever it is it becomes what we have termed a pandemic. The virus must have the right characteristics. All events are random including the event that led to our existence the big bang. It is not always when a pathogen can become a pandemic, specific parameters must be met or the relationship can not take place that leads to a pandemic.

Those relationships are for the medical experts, but we know it is all about relationships because everything in this universe is in a relationship and all those relationships take energy to maintain. With pathogens, the energy needed to maintain the relationship might end in the death of the human, that is why humans dread this type of relationship.

It is not just our knowledge about viruses that has increased since humans first appeared on this earth, we understand viruses, that is why we try to develop vaccinations against them. In time as we understand further the relationships between pathogens and humans, our techniques of protecting ourselves will increase.

Our knowledge of many, many other things has also increased since the dawn of humanity. We fly destroying such statements like if man was meant to fly god will have given man wings. Our imagination and desire to mimic nature has led to humans flying, creating their own wings. We have podcasts, smart phones, abundance in some societies of food, but the principles to create that abundance of food is available to each and every society. We kill without putting ourselves in harms way like the gods, we kill from a distance. But the principles of killing from a distance are available to all human beings. Thus, though killing from a distance, any society can organize such that they too do the same thus not decreasing the chances of death. We have lit streets from electricity, don’t have to walk in the scary dark, but these principles of lit streets are available to all societies.

Some societies actively research pathogens in order to understand better the relationships between pathogens and human beings, thus be better able to protect themselves, the principles that lead to a society being able to afford to research pathogens and thus better protect themselves are available to all societies.

If the principles are there for every society to utilize in all these things that require the human mind, like research a pathogen and use equipment and other techniques to reduce the effects of pathogens, then societies either respect these principles or disrespect them in how they organize their society. At the end of the day a society by its actions is only rewarding or punishing itself.

All societies in todays world on this planet fall under a jurisdiction of a government. A government can not justify it’s existence on any moral grounds if it makes no effort to protect the physical borders of that society. Why is this? It is because of the physical relationships the society has with what is within those physical borders. That is where society get’s it’s physical resources to exist and food and shelter are derived from these resources. The resources lay within the physical borders.

Once the physical borders are violated, the societies very existence is at stake. An attack on the borders is a random event like all other events in existence. Being a random event and will more likely take place if there are no gaurds at the border, the government has to be doing something, that is the very existence of that society at stake.

Famine is a random event, but it is more likely to occur in societies organized in a certain manner that increases the likelihood with having a famine. Given that all these principles are there for all societies in this age of the podcast, it means societies have chosen a set of paths that include greater likelihood of having a famine, the famine is evidence of this reality. A government doing it’s duty to the preservation of that society would have policies that ensure greater agricultural output. Greater agricultural outupu includes better agricultural techniques like irrigation, top quality seeds, proper feeding of livestock, all this is about a society having the best economic activity taking place within its boundaries.

We can not defy reality, there has to be some economic activity taking place. A government in the way of this production is giving way to famine, a random event whose chances can be reduced with sound principles accepting that people must be allowed to put food on the table in the manner that they are good at, and only the individual can truly know what they are good at, that will ensure enough taxation for the government to understand what to do when these random crises spring upon the society.

A famine would not likely affect the food rations of those who are the heads of governments whose societies constantly face hunger. It is because of this that don’t mind. They will take the little that is there for themselves.

A healthy society is one that must rely first and paramount on hygiene, a bath a day if possible is a good culture. Is there the money to build such a structure that it is possible for society to have that one bath a day given all the principles we understand, not just about pathogens but how to organize society that it produces the most amount of knowledge, more importantly it utilizes the most amount of knowledge it possibly can.

Acquiring of knowledge is a random undertaking, who is at acquiring knowledge is always random at any time. As acquiring of knowledge is random, and each human being is a random information package, every human being alive today is a product of chance. There will always be those little differences on thought of how to do things, how to solve a problem. Society needs to understand this for creating the most knowledge. At the end of the day, knowledge being random is about trial and error.

As knowledge is trail and error, the relationship between human beings in a society that accepts this reality is that the more people participating the better. If somebody believes they have a better way of doing things, they will have that right to be proven wrong or right. In doing things better that individual action will benefit the whole society, as the society will see a better way of doing things and will recognize this fact so that others can involve themselves, that is why it is important to know where ideas originate from. It might turn out to be not a better way, the society learns not to do it that way.

The government, if and only if it desires, and has a sound respect and appreciation that knowledge is a random thing will protect all equally, all will have the same rights, then society will organize itself in a manner of respecting knowledge, economic activity will follow these realities around knowledge. Only a society that actually respects the importance of knowledge in economic activity will allow somebody to say I can do it better and is allowed to try, succeed or fail. Somebody has to be always allowed to say that is wrong, there is a better way. Somebody is anybody, the culture has to accept somebody is anybody.

The knowledge process is like a computer in very slow motion, but still a computer. Respecting knowledge leads a society to grow its knowledge base. It does this by trial and error, just like a computer making complex calculations. Once knowledge is confirmed as true, the society adds upon that knowledge, bit by bit, a society that respects knowledge, the society is always calculating, be it buildings, making an engine, creating better weapons, improving on building technologies, better and more efficient transport, improvements in scientific theory getting closer to the origins of everything such as understanding everything is in a relationship and all relationships take energy to maintain, better medicines and health care as we understand better the relationships between pathogens and human beings, a society that respects knowledge as a whole, through all those individual calculations, because somebody, anybody is allowed to participate, and should be actively encouraged to participate and do things better if they can, adding to the capacity of the society acting as a computer.

Doctor Ben Carson talked at a White House press briefing on Saturday March 21 2020, in the middle of the Corvid – 19 pandemic, he understood when he mentioned that housing has everything to do with healthcare, a clean environment, a good modern home with the best the technology has to offer is a safer environment from pathogens. Good homes and housing come from a sound economy; the whole economy is what the government taxes. Good housing is not only good for one’s health, but it also signals the economic output of the society, the societies ability to mobilize resources.

The nature of how a society decides to look after its healthcare is up to that society, however when it comes to a pandemic, like an invasion of the borders threatens the existence of society. Famine too threatens the existence of society, a starving people are hardly loyal and shouldn’t be expected to be loyal to a government whose member have fat shiny chicks at any circumstances if they are using their mind, but if they believe the famine is an act of god, and all they have to do is pray or dance for rain to end the famine, then they will be loyal, they know no better, they never appreciated themselves, the culture didn’t let them appreciate themselves.

A government is there to protect the people, if a plague or pandemic wipes out the population there is no use for that government because that government would have failed in its duty. Given the reality of 2020, and that all societies know and understand that it takes resources to take care of something like a pandemic that threatens the entire society. All these principles are there for all societies, those that feign that their cultures will not allow these principles should not be shocked by starvation and misery caused by disrespecting knowledge.

When a pandemic strike, a government has to have a contingency plan, people are not paying taxes just to have a bloated government where people can suck others for food, shelter and clothing. A government needs to have been prepared, then what is its role? A pandemic is a random event, a prudent government from experience would know this and be ready.

That means the money and resources must be made available so that people can continue to eat, then don’t quarantine them if it is as normal and people should look after themselves. To make sure there is food, the government would best have operated a balanced budget a surplus or miniscule deficit, because fighting a pandemic like a war is expensive, people need to eat whilst they are in quarantine. If a government has wasted this money then people will go outside looking for food and endanger everybody, people need to eat. The government should be aware of these things and be prepared. All those people need to eat, they have been paying taxes for a reason, the government can’t come and say there is no money, where is the money, what was it spent on, who was the money spent on now that people have no food with such an unforeseen disaster but is known to be random.

It is about respecting each other and respecting ourselves. Allowing equality before the law, means all can participate in the economy, the more people participating, the more the government can collect in taxes to be ready to defend the lives of the citizenry. There is no excuse today for a government not to be able to feed people through a pandemic knowing the reality that in many societies people are living paycheck to paycheck. A pandemic is an invasion, it can be a very deadly invasion, and it doesn’t choose, it chooses a human being. A pandemic production can be cut dearly, people are not going to work, the government will be collecting less taxes, it should be ready for such an eventuality, good budgets means resources will be there when production is being cut.

The best system to generate these resources is one that allows anybody to say I can do it better, or this is wrong, and the system allows them to try and get their acknowledgement, be it profit, recognition for work, royalties, a recognition for improving societies knowledge base. A society working together understanding the meaning of the word a professional attitude.

With sound production, a society improves its chances when it comes to defending its borders, it reduces the effects of relying totally on nature for food, thus reducing chances of famine, it has the money and resources to better survive a pandemic.

It is about recognizing that everything is in a relationship, relationship are all random and have a cost in energy to maintain them. The pathogen causing the pandemic has to be in a relationship with human beings in order to kill them. The idea is a society understands how these relationships occurs and creates some type of inoculation that will break up this relationship. These brings into play the second law of information, as everything is information, an information package will remain in it’s present state unless a relationship is established, the medical experts know they must create new relationships to combat the existing relationship the pathogen has with humans.

A Pandemic is a random event, a society will be ready for it, even if the entire society perishes from that pandemic, at least it recognized that the pandemic is dangerous and was always ready to do the best it could for itself by following sound principles that allow the society to be actively ready for such an event. It gave its best even if exterminated by the pandemic, that is all the universe can ask,  do your best to survive and prepare yesterday as best as possible for survival in any eventuality by having been prepared yesterday by following sound principles of knowledge creation.

Those finding themselves not within the trade routes means they have nothing to offer the world in terms of technology, knowledge creation but already identified resources by other minds like raw materials, they better be specifically created, because a pandemic this means absolute critical danger, because there is no respect for knowledge, that is why they are not on the trade routes where the pandemic will first travel. But it will reach there in this world of 2020.

Has a society fallen short of being best ready for a pandemic given that all the principles are out here? If not, that means that society was only looking after a click, it was robbing  better to think of a government that is for the people, the first idea for that is all are equal before the law, the law has no class, race, ethnicity, or religious affiliation. This finally leads to anybody, as all have equal rights under the law, then anybody can say that is wrong, I know a better way. In a pandemic one will not see wholesale prizes of basic hygiene increase, when all lives are at stake.

look around you, look at society, look at the relationship’s humans have with each other, you know why?
