Questions
(i) What is the best way to organize society in the interests of all its members?
(ii) How can individuals understand and control their mental processes and respond more appropriately to each other?
(iii) How do (i) and (ii) connect?
Comments
(i) Currently, there are some irreconcilable conflicts of interest. How can society be freed from them? Re-organising society has to involve every member of society, not a programme enforced by a minority. Universal suffrage in Parliamentary elections is a first step but only one step. Collective action has to replace the individual illiteracy of writing an "X".
(ii) Unless we are hermits, all of us interact with other individuals. In addition, if we address (i) with political activity, then we need to respond both to comrades and to opponents, so (ii) is relevant to (i). Personal political interactions can be lethal.
(iii) I think that everyone needs to address both (i) and (ii) and how to relate them.
