The Golden Rule and Relationships

 

The podcast can be found here: The Golden Rule and Relationships

Gold has been money for a long time, it will because of it’s characteristics remain ready in case of any disturbances to be official money of any society. As good as gold means something of the highest standards. Gold was a trusted form of money because the supply of the money could not be controlled by a single entity. It also fulfilled all the conditions of good money for today and the past ages. The golden rule is supposed to be what gold was to money, a rule of the highest standards and principles.

Gold is a simple concept as money. The golden rule is a simple concept. Do unto others as you would like them to do unto you, a gold standard for a society of equal citizenship, equal class before the law.

Simplicity is not merely accepting the principle behind it all, but also accepting the complexity behind that simplicity. You can not make it simple if you are vague with the complexity behind that simplicity. Those who found this simplicity of the golden rule truly understood society and loved the idea of humanity that they where willing to share it with humanity.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you may seem a simple concept, but beneath it lies great complexity. Nobody wants to be cheated but people cheat everyday. All this trauma on this planet has a lot to do with the simple fact that people do not like to be cheated themselves, but they cheat others.

That everything is about love has been believed by so many for a very long time. Humans will say that the very universe was created by love, they will say everything is about love. That itself is a simple idea underpinning a great deal in peoples psyche, everything is not and will never be a small thing. When somebody says everything is about love, everything is a great concept, the hugest concept. Philosophy is left to great interpretation sounding great as long as you follow a set of rules of good philosophy.

Though left to great interpretation, as a philosophy, that everything is about love could, probably, give a great discussion around the golden rule.

When one says everything is about relationships, like everything is about love, it is a philosophy and it is left to great interpretations, this is because philosophy is not up to being tested. One might sound fantastic, but it can be left to a great deal of interpretations, because it is philosophy without experimental proof.

In 2016, after experimental observation and experiments being observed and offered around photons, heat, quantum tunneling, double slit experiment where a thing behaves like a particle or a wave, and offering solutions to such dilemmas, after scientific experimentation for the first time the world heard “everything that seems solid to us is made up of particles coming together and having a relationship.” Even better, from a blog post entitled What is a Theory of Everything, same year, same scientist, “Everything is related to something atoms, particles, lions, humans, trees, stars, planets, everything is related to something. It takes energy to have a relationship. All relationships involve a loss of freedom, all relationships take energy to sustain them.”

When particles are in a relationship, when anything is in a relationship, energy sustains that relationship. Then we must question our mind set, how we see things. When we jump up, we come back down. This is due to gravity, that maintains our relationship with this planet. Gravity is part of the energy that is used to maintain a relationship, freedom is lost because of that energy being used to maintain that relationship.

The idea of relationships moved from philosophy to science, and the astute student understood, their ignorance dissolves into science by merely reading those simple statements a lot of it is around the particle, you can’t understand it unless it is from the particle having passed experimental validation. The astute student will understand that this is the solution to science and changes direction towards the particle and what it implies. Of course the astute student could have only come after 2016 in terms of relationships and the particle, the science of relationships, not the philosophy everything is about relationships with no laws, everything is about love with no laws, scientific laws comes from experimentation then one will understand that everything is in a relationship from the smallest particle to largest galaxy, and everything in between, then to show understanding of the concept scientifically they will understand that those relationships need energy to be maintained, resulting in a loss of freedom, you can’t be everywhere, well supposedly theoretically you can if you can those relationships, there you are we learn something new in 2020. Meaning we must ask ourselves what is location? Because location has everything to do with relationships, we are in that particular location because of relationships.

Only a one who forges will not understand to get to everything is in a relationship, it is to accept the vitality of the life, life is part of everything, if life was not part of everything this would be a different universe with different laws that do not allow for life at this time, the particles that would be there are unknown, that is the relationships just before the big bang will have to be different, one has to remember the  idea of the big bang itself is a random event because we know when it happened, why did it not happen earlier, why did it not happen later.

In 2019 we learnt the particle is too big, and with proof from experiments, always from experiments, this time the biggest experiment of them all. Proof given everytime the giant colliders are switched on, everytime particles smash into each other, they don’t become nothing, they become the their basic constituent that makes up every particle, we named this konke. Something in front of everyone but because relationships as a science was knew, nobody looked for the proof of the origin of particles. Particles come from what has been termed konke, they are a result of the relationships of this konke.

A country is about people in a relationship. A country is built by people in a relationship with one another. A society, community are people in a relationship. When considering the golden rule, what types of relationships are we talking about. It is about relationships and energy needed to maintain those relationships. What kind of relationships does the golden rule imply, what kind of losses of freedom does the golden rule imply.

The golden rule, do unto others as you would have them do unto you, means basically the relationships we have should be that I will use my energy in this relationship to treat you as you should treat me. This relationship has to be built on the truth, that is why it is called the golden rule.

The humans primary need is food, food gives the human being energy so that they can be involved in relationships, the immediate needs after food are shelter and clothing. Before we knew about the wonderful tool of money, before we could control the tool that has taken humans from caves to brink of seriously considering settling on other inhabited planets of our solar system,, fire, we needed food, shelter and clothing.  

If you have a piece of meat to eat, you are ready to enjoy it, it’s cooked it’s ready and somebody takes it by force, one will not feel great at all. All human beings know and understand this. Nobody will like this done to them.

Such a relationship in society means it is maintained by the energy of one getting meat, cooking it and it is then taken away. The other uses their energy to take the meat. In this relationship, we all understand that nobody wants to be the one who catches the meat, cooks it, and it is taken away.

This is like when a cheetah out in the wilds of Africa catches an antelope and the lion takes it away. Imagine how those cheetahs feel being cheated like that. Or one can look at the wilds of North America when a few wolves catch an elk but are not enough to stop a grizzly bear from taking away their precious kill. Birds can behave in strange ways. Pelicans in some areas take away fish from a duck’s mouth. They let the ducks do the hunting then swoop down with their bigger size and force the ducks to spit out their fish into their big beaks, literally taking the fish from the duck’s mouth.

But humans have a higher mind, high enough to understand do unto others as you will have them do unto you.

Note the lion is taking an antelope from a cheetah, the lion kills a zebra, the grizzly is taking from the wolves, in other circumstances wolves if they are enough will take from the bear. The pelicans take fish from a duck, but we are humans, it is great folly to compare one human to a cheetah and another to a lion, true humans take from each other but we are not lions and cheetahs, or bears, or pelicans, or eagles, we are humans. It is better that we acknowledge others as humans and understand the relationship one has are with other humans, though similar to wolves and bears, the constant bickering, but our existence is mostly about relationships with other humans, we are not ants, bees, birds, we are human beings.

Human beings can control fire, though rhinos put out fires when ever they can, they can not control fire to benefit from it. Human beings can create extraordinary powerful weapons, take the nuclear bomb. Today there are theoretical possibilities of a quantum bomb, it would be to the nuclear bomb what the nuclear bomb is to TNT. Understanding that there is finer stuff than particles, that finer stuff we have called konke would do the same in terms of power to the quantum bomb what nuclear weapons did to TNT, talking immense energy being released, it is all in our minds.

Understanding that everything is in a relationship and the particle is the center, one way from particle you get this existence that ends up with life, the other way you go to stuff finer than any particle, that is a human. Any human can understand this.

If any human can understand this if they put their minds to it, that means humans are the same in terms of capacity for knowledge. The difference merely being in location because it is at that location where a human gains knowledge, the culture of the location. The golden rule says do unto others as you wish them to do unto you. If one cannot accept the reality that acquiring knowledge is about location, remember “My Fair Lady”, go and watch it. Marcus Garvey had said what My Fair Lady shows in a movie as part of a human movement. If one cannot accept this, then the golden rule can never work. It can never work because the ego will come in the way, one will refuse that they learnt from another they consider as prey.

To accept that knowledge is a random event, understanding and accepting are two different things, to accept it, means one is willing to accept to themselves they have learnt from somebody else. Ayn Rand put this most clearly when she implied in knowledge, even the loser gains, they learn. She put it too much in a competitive manner, the times, she wanted to be accepted at all costs, competition was the thing. To accept you have learnt something is humility, because if you teach somebody and they refuse you taught them and claim it as their own, you yourself would not like it, it is as simple as that.

To accept the golden rule is to accept when somebody does better than you and not be wrecked by envy and jealousy. To accept the golden rule is to reject conspiring against others. Anybody who proclaims that their group is superior will never believe in the golden rule, they believe that others are prey and they should take from them.  

Death is always a great teacher it is in death when we understand that we are all equal. The death itself is not the teacher, but the events leading to that death. Death is always a teacher, you will die, however, in the context of the golden rule, those who are leaving death makes us appreciate the golden rule, why is it there, it is to prevent unnecessary death at it’s very depth. On the battlefield, especially when facing a battle of extermination one must appreciate the role of each and every single warrior, what one is good at and what one is not good at. This is not the time for fantasy, if you are no Rambo but one of information, this is not the time to play Rambo, risk death getting information, the positions of the enemy. This is it, no time for illusions, no time to battle with the ego, do what you do best is the only calling.

It is like that with society too. If at societies greatest peril, that of extermination, each person accepts what they are best suited for, the same principles must apply to the best way a society should survive at peace time. It means the same thing, letting go of ones ego, accepting that your emotions do not mean that you can be at best at what you wish but at what you can actually do. That is the crux of the golden rule. Treat others as you would wanted to be treated. This means first accepting your own limitations.

If you can not accept your limitations with evidence given, your will believe you can bend reality to your will such that it looks like there is no evidence for your limitations. This always leads to harm, this means one must actively eliminate evidence that shows limitations of their abilities. They create an illusion by their incomes that there are better whilst disallowing all evidence to their limitations thus their incomes. They teach these habits to their children how to use illusions, this is what harms the application of the golden rule, desire for unearned recognition.

Unearned recognition is earned by taking it from the one who should have earned that recognition, it happens all the time. Knowing that the claim to that knowledge is unearned, it causes one to despise others, forgetting that life is a random event. One despises others because they know it could be them but they must deny it by creating cultures to protect themselves, if they where so special they wouldn’t need cultures to protect their positions.

The golden rule essentially says let go of those lies that you are somehow superior but that knowledge is a random event determined by attitudes in random locations. If somebody does something better than you don’t be envious, this is the world, humility. Because if we do not accept that humility and we decide to cheat others for our food, this planet will leave up to its namesake, the place of piercing. It surely is called the place of piercing because of the illusions we have set upon ourselves.

Merely accepting somebody is better, means that in this life you must not occupy the sit of those better than you, sitting in unearned positions means your better was harassed, what is it that will stop them doing it to you. Getting unearned food is the cause of the need to break the golden rule. As the food as an unearned they will have to justify it by telling lies that they are somehow special.

When we accept our limitations by evidence provided for us we must take a role within our limitations, that is how a battle against extermination is fought. As one society in peace these principles must continue to apply, ensuring harmony in society. A child will grow up in culture accepting that they take a role according to their personal limitations, they will understand that this not only brings peace to society, but ensures the functioning of that society as one society. When one talks of classes they are talking of different societies that is why different rules apply. Once talking of classes the golden rule can never work because the system is designed to deny by the very fact that there are classes. Different classes different teams. It is only ignorance then that makes people believe in such a system they are all in together.

People are only in it together with those who don’t deny them their abilities, do  not deny them their rightful portion, you can’t be in it together with somebody who is going to rob you.

That is the golden rule, at its basic, human survival is about food, are you humble enough not to rob for your food, those are the relationships that the golden rule aspires us to have. A culture of acceptance of reality, evidence, then we will see everybody as a human and circumstances are circumstances all part of a random process. What is best for societies continuation, it is to accept roles given by evidence of action not philosophy, each taking their rightful role in advancing that society by evidence given, a better product is a better product. That is the golden rule, you can’t be teaching your children to rob other peoples children. Your child must accept that if somebody is better they are better, they will find what they are good at, illusions do not work. To play with illusions one must look down on others thus justifying to themselves robbing them. The golden rule can not work with illusions. It can not work with mysticism, mystics just want to replace mystics, none want reality of randomness, so the tyrant will say they have great priests and geniuses, and the oppressed who also want to be tyrants say they have their own wizards who are the true wizards, and they have own geniuses, genius, priests, magic, all tools of mysticism trying to say another human is somehow better than another.

No works can actually justify the golden rule, a society with relationships that one would call harmonious, at a battle against extinction those relationships must be harmonious, the golden rule must apply or the battle will be lost, great knowledge might be lost as extinction means it is no longer possible to the advancement of the knowledge base. That is a way of taking it, but it is a massive concept, but surely it must all start with food on the table, sustenance.

Once a society starts by cheating others of their rightful sustenance by using non material justifications like race, religion, things like that, who is to know if anybody is truly better than the beggar in the street when so much cheating is taking place. That beggar is alive, so it is not genetic, how did their ancestors survive all these tribulations. By merely being alive means the beggars genetics have been tested in the harshest conditions possible, human relations and all the death associated with it. They are there as a product of a system that disobeys the golden rule, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. There are there because of somebody’s arrogance, generations of arrogance.
