Lack of Structure

Don’t depend on the foundation of social reality.

We as a collective in the macro aspect of it all, are a pretty successful civilization. One of the many founding rocks that prevent us from collapsing is our agreement of structure in this world. It has been with us since Khoikhoi and San, since our very first traces of a organized community. This structure is a wireframe of how we must live and progress. “Freedom without structure is its own slavery.” It bounds us all together.

This foundational structure lives within our minds, in our imagined reality, made up of fictions. It does not live in the objective world as we know it. These fictions include but are not limited to, money, ideologies, laws, nations, education, lifestyles and so forth. These are things that don’t exist outside our imagination.

In essence, a foundational structure is ideal for a thriving species...it keeps us in check. As a collective, as 8 billion homo-sapiens, its a necessity. Yet such powerful imperceptible and authoritative doctrine can cause it’s own limitations to the individual in the modern era. It can cause inherent restrictions in our own way of living and thinking.

We must become conscious of this imagined structure surrounding us. We must identify and become self aware about the limits it imposes on us. Doing this can help us achieve an immense freedom which we can cultivate. It can assist us in creating our own way of life and thought. Making us more independent and prosperous beings. Disruption of this structure can be accelerated through the use of digital innovation and the disarranging to the deferred-life plan we all agree upon.

It is important to critically analyze the structure of society in terms of purpose and function.

Using introspection to examine our behaviors, thinking and doing, we can find how deep this structure lives within us. We can make use of this by using this knowledge to our advantage. It is impossible to not depend on this structure but we can learn to separate ourselves from it. Don’t let it rule every aspect of your life. Achieve true freedom with the lack of structure.
