We are programmed to believe that our governments are based on consent, truth, justice and a universal love for mankind.

A paradigm shift is to suspect an alternative.

That government in principle could be fundamentally flawed. Based instead on deceit, coercion, extortion, distrust and a barely disguised contempt for mankind.

They could still be full of mostly good and decent people, and even provide some genuine benefits. It's just that their legitimacy might well be fundamentally flawed.

The beauty of an uncensored internet, is that what is true will always rise to the surface. Even despite the best efforts of the main stream media (MSM) to keep us in their trance.

There is now a universal method for all to awaken through the simple exposure to truth.

But we cannot really escape the current system until a better alternative is devised. Propaganda backed by bribery and fear (money and violence) successfully works to motivate most people to create values and surpluses that greatly benefit everyone. Even despite the means (coercion) by which this is done..

The problem with the current system is that it's held together by belief paradigms that are simply untrue. There is no informed consent. People do not, as a whole, act from love of mankind or love of truth, but from a place of fear & self interest.

But if we lose our belief in money, then production of goods and services may slow down. If we lose our belief in organised coercion, People might be forced to negotiate their own boundaries between each other. Private disputes might themselves escalate into coercion.

People may not be universally wise or just enough to become their own rulers.

The advance of technology is gradually solving both of these problems. Through robotics for the production of goods and services. And through the gradual discovery and development of drugs and technologies to help raise our collective levels of intelligence, wisdom and consciousness.

But my great hope is that the internet will allow ordinary people to organise and place reasonable limits on the damage institutional violence can to us until paradigms can change.

- Paradigm changes - Technological singularity - The realization life extension will happen - Drugs that can raise our consciousness - Nanotechnology era begins - Internet finally translates to social power - A real information revolution begins
