34. And that is the puzzle.
Edited on Wed Aug-25-10 12:26 PM by RandomThoughts
As an action is shown to have less likelihood of effect, then it is more likely to do larger action things, since they don't have effect anyways. While at the same time, an action that has larger attributes, would theoretically more likely have an effect.

So at the same time that an effect does not occur, people in general get more extream, so not having an outlet for people to have an effect on life, things like democracy, then they get more extream in their actions.

And people feel less responsible for those actions.

Just thinking on some mental puzzles.


In my case I have confirmed some effect action connectivity, and also confirmed existence of what owes me. So the puzzle does not fit my situation, but is really interesting thought puzzle.


Basically if someone tries to remove action and effect connectivity, they try to make you powerless, a common thing to do to passify a population to get them to accept something, but it also creates more extream behavior as people try to find actions that do have effects.

It explains the downward spiral of control, and creation of extreamism in some cases.


So as an example, if you had a thought that could do something, and someone tried to stop that, you would keep turning up the volume of the thought, and that seems to fit the systematic approach also. So actions of control create the items controllers think they are stopping.


Just musing a bit, but that seems why coercion fails, and education has a better effect.
