Learning RM:AO today is much like learning today’s physics or digital computing 500 years ago. What would you use it for?
Science took off only because it was involved in weaponry, first in wars between nations then in wars between governments and their populous. And that is still its only use.
Religion took off thousands of yeas ago only because of its use for governing and controlling populations. And now the new symbiosis of those two is the new rage playing out and keeping people occupied trying to govern with their new toy. They aren’t really interested in any kind of truth, merely in whatever yields more control. Today “progress” means “greater control over others”.
So right now, RM:AO is too early for Mankind to be interested. He is too busy playing with last year’s toys to be interested in anything newer or better. And since governing in a socialistic society involves controlling thought, he is very slow to learn. He spends generations convincing people of his last “truth” regardless of any better thought. He suppresses, represses, and oppresses in order to get the most from what he already had. And during that process, he inadvertently becomes dependent upon the structures formed by his prior efforts. He becomes enamored and invested in his paradigm thus very seriously dislikes any changes or challenges to it. Man is made of lustful religiosity.
RM:AO is left for the very few serious deep thinkers who want to know “what is really going on” and have the courage to reject what they have been told by the authority figures who were propped up for their admiration and faith. And as one can imagine, anything that answers everything isn’t going to be a trivial thing. I didn’t design AO with the intent of answering all questions through a “Grand Unified Theory”. It just turned out that way. But of course, as always, almost no one really cares.
Societies are far more based upon “going along to get along”, agreeing to whatever, supporting whoever, saying whatever, doing whatever, all just to get along with the boss. Anyone “out of line” is dubbed a “malcontent”, “clandestine”, “whistle-blower”, “untrustworthy”, or just plane “crackpot”. The focus in societies is loyalty, not truth. And usually at the expense of never discovering truth because they are fully involved in maintaining confusion and deception in order to maintain control aimed toward ensuring that the wealthiest people, although already worth over $100 trillion, get even wealthier.
So the only use for RM:AO in today’s world is in design efforts concerning immediate person to person psychology, not manipulating the masses. Social engineers are already fully occupied in the mass programming endeavor and aren’t interested in anything new or different. Thus it is like introducing physics into society 500 years ago. The only people who would care would be those who are actively oppressing anything alien to their paradigm. And of course, their interest in it isn’t kindly.
This site has almost no serious deep thinkers who also have the courage to disagree with mainstream. So I am not at all surprised by the lack of interest. RM:AO is a complicated subject, worthy of years of college study and requiring serious mental changes in perspective. This site is more for the casual thinker who most often is just toying with fanciful notions, never really expecting to believe anything he reads or even says. And then of course, there are those bent on ensuring that everyone else is complying to the new paradigm and order of thought, harassing and reporting anyone out of line.
And if I was here to “preach to and convert the masses”, I would be going about it very differently. I am not like the doctor who comes up with what he believes to be a miracle cure for something and then immediately goes spraying it into the public water supply. I believe in clarifying and verifying BEFORE preaching to the public (unlike the mainstream engineers). So it isn’t entirely an issue of suppression. I am not interested in starting a new religion, but rather getting the story straight. Religions have a history of totally corrupting their founding principles.
Interestingly, RM:AO:Sociology and Psychology are largely about Clarifying and Verifying and thus corrupting the story once it is learned is really tough, unlike the social mindsets and paradigms before it. RM is not about any kind of faith, but about verifying on even the lowest level of society. So once it gets started from some interest, it isn’t likely to go away nor be corrupted into another delusion and make-believe paradigm. Thus it is even more important to get it straight before dumping it into the waters.
But then also, RM:AO:Sociology/SAM is inherently self-correcting. So even if it got corrupted, it would merely take a little while to get the story straightened up again. RM, like a black-hole, is a persistent little bugger, taking any and all crap in, but letting only the purest form of energy back out. It would just be nice if it were a little simpler to learn. And some day it will be.
No one in an ancient Roman pub would have been interested in learning physics or digital computing. Most still aren’t.
