The Actors of the New World Order

The forty-year-old whisper that has never been forgotten: “Our boys have done it! Our boys have done it”!

The stage costumes of the boys of 2021 were very colourful this time. Representing his tribe, the brightest star of the stage was, of course, the Shaman boy.

Everyone played very well; an outstanding performance. “The New World Order, the Greenest of Them All: The Green New Deal 2021”! The screenplay is by H.G. Well, from the 1940s. “This is very plausible. But this time our rulers will come out of the conflict discredited and frustrated, to face a disorderly population in a state of mutinous enquiry.”

Among the leading actors, Trump is without doubt the most experienced TV and cinema performer! We watched even though we did not want to. After all, we had paid for the tickets in advance with the pandemic, and at the very highest price!

For a structure first to be designed, to take shape and then, turning into an order, to take its place in the system, disorder is required. This points to the existence of a dialectical relationship between order and change. This dialectical relationship also gives the process of change a non-linear character. The reason is that every order tends to decay. Change is inevitable. One can speak of new orders only with the chaos, that is, the decay, of the previous order: its entropy, as universal law requires. Although change is inevitable, this process has a controllable quality. The controllability of the process of change stems from the fact that this process is connected with positions and with the interactions between positions.

In its sociological dimension, this movement is individuals pursuing goals and performing various roles. As Parsons puts it, every individual or group is an actor. Communities and societies exist and take shape depending on their actors performing their roles.

The philosophers of antiquity could not keep themselves from thinking; they neither ate nor drank but thought, and failing that they lived in a barrel; they tried to describe and convey, through literature and the performing arts, the ways of life of those who cast a shadow over their questioning of the “Truth – Reality” they were seeking.

Those who question whether “Reality Is Really Real” are so few that, although they walk the same road, they cannot see one another. The storm of this journey is the encounter with the dynamics on which the modern age was built, with concepts such as the body, society and power.

According to Jean Baudrillard: “Against the historical threats produced by the real, power has always resorted to a game of deterrence and simulation. It has done this by means of signs equivalent to the real, which it produces without interruption (shattering, of course, all oppositions along the way). Today power, threatened by simulation (vanishing in the play of signs), offers artificial forms of social, economic and political struggle by producing both the real and crisis… The name of the fundamental disease of our age is the thing called the production and reproduction of the real.”

In the article he published in 2003 on the simulation hypothesis, Nick Bostrom essentially proposed that the universe might be nothing more than a simulation coded by a civilisation possessing very advanced technology.

1- Humanity will die out before reaching a level sophisticated enough to run computer simulations that would mirror what we experience as reality.

2- It is improbable that any civilisation able to survive would run simulations of this kind.

3- It is almost certain that we are living in a computer simulation.

If the third possibility holds, our universe may be just one of a great many simulations, and an ordinary one; might we even be located in one of the “sub-simulations” running on a computer inside a simulation?

It is the greatest claim of the individuals in society: “I believe what I see”! Yet to embrace this claim without knowing what the matter is, and moreover for a person to believe that this claim is the main skeleton that forms the shape of life, is the bottomless pit of this matter… Comments dressed up as analysis, forecasts, and so on….

Michio Kaku’s explanation in answer to the question “Is Reality Really Real? : “Yet much of what we are able to see is illusion. For example, when we look at a typical landscape, it appears like a film-like panorama. In reality there is a huge gap in our field of vision, corresponding to the position of the optic nerve in the retina. We ought in fact to see this big ugly black spot wherever we look. But our brain covers this gap by hiding and normalising it. Unaware that part of our ability to see is a deception created by our subconscious in order to fool us, we remain caught up in admiration of the landscape. In English there is a saying: “if appearance and essence were the same thing, there would be no need for science”. The highest consciousness, which is primarily associated with Homo Sapiens and to which the model we construct of the world and the simulations of the future that we run belong, is Level 3 consciousness. We do this by analysing memories or events concerning other people and by simulating the future, making many random connections in order to build a “random” tree. Looking at the different faces at a cocktail party, we begin to ask ourselves simple questions: How can this person help me? How will the gossip going around the room affect the future? Is there anyone trying to make trouble for me?”

Dr Gallant, from his research on this subject at the University of California, Berkeley, says: “We are opening a window onto the films in our minds.”

The initial state of any system cannot be known with certainty in the course of its operation. “A very small randomness contained in the initial state can take on far larger dimensions at a later stage.”

Self-organisation: the design of the system is determined by the properties of the elements that make up the whole. Individuals who at first appear disorderly, a mere heap, can, a certain time after coming together, establish at the greatest speed the connection that forms an orderly relationship as a group. What makes this possible is the social programme. Individuals create order by repeating the behaviours they have learned from life in common. For this reason, one observes that new forms contrary to the properties of the basic parts making up the social structure do not arise.

Those who can properly analyse the decisive choices individuals make in the process of social change, reflected in their positions and in the roles they display, can see, as a probability, what the next scene will be.

On this platform we had left a short note on the trailer of the film “The New World Order, the Greenest of Them All: The Green New Deal 2021”, which we watched during the election process of 3 November 2020. “Even if they say you are to blame for your blond hair, do not take offence, O Trump! In any case, alongside you we had prepared a younger, different, colourful new cover model for your rival Biden as well, for the ‘New World Order’ of the near future. In the new GLOBAL world order there should also be a colourful voice of Asia,” they may say.

Or, with an entirely different Surprise, we may be left Dumbfounded once again…
