>
>A. "How-Things-Are-Supposed-To-Be"
>In a nutshell, so to speak:
>
>Nature's system and the human behavioral system within it,
>were designed within the "work-out-well-all-around" framework.
>
>Nature's system and the human behavioral system within it
>were Not designed for a "work-out-poorly-for-some/most/all"
>'framework', as is almost universally allegedly believed.
>
>Within nature's "work-out-well-all-around" scheme,
>
>protection and caretaking, that is, security and vitality,
>are designed to flow mostly downwards through the hierarchies,
>
>while anxieties, that is, risk, pain, and difficulties,
>are designed to flow mostly upwards through the hierarchies,
>instead of the reverse, mostly pain downwards and protection
>upwards, which is what is happening now.
>
>Protection and security, and, caretaking and vitality
>are supposed to flow mostly downwards in the hierarchies,
>risk, pain, and anxiety flow mostly upwards in the hierarchies,
>towards higher hierarchical persons, whose more powerful
>position is specifically designed to solve problems that aren't
>solved at a lower level.
>
>Indeed, the ability to protect and nurture those in a lower
>hierarchical positions, and absorb pain, difficulties upwards for
>solving at a higher level, defines the only reason any person
>should ever occupy a higher hierarchical position in the first
>place. It virtually defines the term "healthy hierarchical
>relations".
>
>That is the design of all nature, in this bioecosystem anyway,
>and it is the design that the human behavioral system evolved
>specifically in conformity with.
>
>It is the system that human beings are supposed to be running on,
>in everyday life, in the world around, and on the grand scale.
>
>Conformity to the "protection-and-caretaking-flowing-mostly
>downwards/anxiety-flowing-mostly-upwards" system, as a general
>rule at least, would very rapidly, favorably resolve 97 plus percent
>of the human-against-human problem that has plagued this planet
>for the past ten thousand years.
>
>A favorable resolution, of course, involves six billion, ten billion,
>however many, vital, healthy, and very alive human beings.
>At long last.
>
>In sum:
>
>Protection and caretaking flowing mostly downwards;
>anxiety flowing mostly upwards;
>Work out well all around.
>That's the way things are supposed to be.
>
>
>B. "What-Has-Gone-Wrong"
>
>As for "what-has-gone-wrong", again in a nutshell:
>The "deliberately-misreport-perceptions" system developed
>from a "one-in-a-thousand" anomaly of nature,
>
>into a "strongly-self-perpetuating-But-Not-Completely-So"
>"dominant factor" in society, a deadly toxin,
>affecting all levels of human operations.
>
>Protection of the "deliberately-misreport-perceptions" system,
>also cynically and inaccurately referred to as "maturity",
>"sophistication", prudence, 'common sense', "charm", "personal
>loyalty", "adultness", "insightfulness", "the-wisdom-of-the-ages",
>and so forth;
>
>an eagerness to protect the "deliberately-misreport-perceptions"
>conversational convention;
>
>an eagerness to protect the "lie-about-what-one-understands"
>System, is the first rule of "acceptability" across all social,
>economic, professional, academic, and political hierarchies,
>and is enforced with increasing tenacity as one moves
>higher and higher in any modern hierarchy.
>
>Thus, accepting the "no-real-truth", cognition-destroying,
>idiocy-enforcing, lie-about-what-you-understand system,
>is the first and foremost rule of acceptance and success
>throughout all high levels of hierarchy.
>
>The presence of the singular truth, "never-lie-about-what-one-
>understands" framework, causes an automatic "fear-of-exposure"
>reaction to all who achieve success or who attempt to, particularly
>at higher and higher levels of hierarchy.
>
>Thus, what has gone wrong, is that persons aspiring to success
>at all levels of current society, are caught in a "loop", so to speak,
>of first certifying their own loyalty to the "deliberately-misreport-
>perceptions" system, more abrasively put, certifying their loyalty
>to the "lie-about-what-one-understands" system, therein crushing
>cognitive and intelligence properties in themselves and others,
>crushing the very properties that were designed, through
>evolution, to solve that very sort of problem.
>
>In order to achieve success, one must become a certified destroyer
>of those very properties that were specifically designed, through
>evolution, to solve human problems.
>
>
>To recap:
>
>A. "The-Way-Things-Are-Supposed-To-Be":
>
> Protection Flowing Mostly Downwards;
> Anxiety Mostly Upwards;
> "Work-Out-Well-All-Around".
>
>B. "What-Has-Gone-Wrong":
>
> The "Deliberately-Misreport-Perceptions"
> Conversational Convention;
> The "Lie-About-What-One-Understands" System.
>
>
>Finally, there is the matter of:
>
>C. "How-To-Put-Things-Right":
>
>The procedure is to start by considering as a possibility that
>"work-out-well-all-around" is the primary system of nature, the
>primary system of human behavior, and the primary social
>organization that Homo Sapiens Sapiens was specifically designed
>to work within - species wide and bio-ecosystem wide.
>
>Then, to consider that possibility within the "Never-deliberately-
>misreport-perceptions" framework, that is,
>within the "Never lie about what you understand framework".
>
>Finally, to consider the possibility that the "work-out-well-all-
>around" system is the primary system of nature; consider that
>within the "Never deliberately misreport perceptions" framework;
>bearing all that in mind while using one's own internal, cognitive,
>intelligence to evaluate Paradigm from California, which is
>summarized at the Paradigm from California web-site.
>
>Using "work-out-well-all-around" as a possible high level
>reference, and figuring within the "never-deliberately-misreport-
>perceptions" framework, all while evaluating the paradigm
>contained herein;
>
>that formula constitutes "how-to-put-thing-right".
>
>This paradigm cracks the major ten thousand year old case; cracks
>the case of:
>
>A. "The-way-things-are-supposed-to-be"
>- Work Out Well All Around;
>
>B. "What-has-gone-wrong"
>- Deliberately Misreporting Perceptions;
>
>and C. "How-to-put-things-right"
>- Internal, Human Cognition And Intelligence.
>
>It solves this contemporary set of problems,
>all of which stem from the major "human-thwarting-human"
>problem, which is responsible for 95% of all the world's current
>ills. This paradigm solves the major, ten thousand year puzzle,
>and solves it for all time.

>
>One of the features of this paradigm that distinguishes it from all
>other large-scale plans is its illumination of the nature of truth.
>
>In various religious systems, and some fascist systems as well,
>truth is understood to be absolute and singular, but, it is claimed,
>an ordinary human can not figure out what the absolute truth of
>something is because they are not smart enough - only God is
>smart enough to figure out the absolute truth, and an ordinary
>mortal must depend on "belief" in the word of God or some holy
>messenger.
>
>In the allegedly enlightened capitalist view, on the other hand,
>the reverse is said to be true, namely, that people are plenty
>intelligent, but, still they can't figure out the truth of something,
>because there is no real truth in the first place.
>
>And among various mysticisms, 'new age' ideas, and 'free
>thinkers', it is often claimed that, both, there is no real truth, and
>even if there was, an ordinary human does not have the cognitive,
>rational capacity to figure it out anyway.
>
>Thus:
>
>a. Religion -
> Yes there is absolute truth,
> but you're not smart enough to figure out what it is.
>
>b. Capitalism -
> Yes you're smart,
> but there is no real truth to begin with.
>
>c. 'New Age' and 'Mystical' Thinking -
> There is no real truth,
> and people do not have that sort of massive,
> Rational, cognitive capacity anyway.
>
>The fourth possibility is the one that everyone berates, but no one,
>until now, seems to hold, namely that:
>
>This bio-ecosystem works on a singular reality system
>in which illusions play a mostly helpful role,
>and when something is true, it has the properties of being
>singular, absolute, consistent with everything else that's true,
>the same for everyone, and never-changing, that is,
>constant for all time;
>
>AND
>
>Each individual inherently possesses the internal,
>cognitive, conscious ability to determine exactly
>what that same-for-everyone truth is.
>
>Again:
>
>Religion
>- Absolute truth; but people can't figure it.
>
>Capitalism
>- People are intelligent; but there is no absolute truth.
>
>New Age and Mysticism
>- No absolute truth; people couldn't figure it anyway.
>
>Paradigm from California - alone among the great schemes:
>- There is absolute truth, and every person has the internal
>capacity to figure out just what it is.
>
>For more on this, see the last section of Part One of this series:
