====== Sociology ====== Human nature expresses similarly in the organism and the group. Humans organize themselves in two patterns. - two halves - a pyramid Bifurcation, branching: blood vessels, snowflake, dendrites. Split repeatedly into heirarchy, growth. (Fractal) Team, split, halve, natural selection Pyramid, hierarchy Sociology Pyramid Halves Natural Selection Foolish notions Equality Justice Nonviolence ahimsa Compete vs cooperate Identity Individual Commu ity Country Planet earth Humanity Life Universe All at what level did Warren Buffett identify with when he screwed Neveda homeowners? nestle, water theft oil companies fracking armaments companies news personalities Even if we identify with all humanity, there are alternative ways to make decisions. - humanist - cares about suffering, individuals, - natural selection - cares more about the strength of humanity as a species and is willing to sacrifice individuals to make a stronger species This same distinction is made at every level. Racism and nationalism, for example. Collective Consciousness \\ Collective Behavior \\ Autonomous vehicles and drones cooperate \\ Collective improvisation: musicians, actors, comedians Group Psychology\\ Group behavior is an expansion of individual behavior.\\ Group dynamics \\ Social Psychology \\ Society \\ Personalities fit together like lock and key proteins. Learning thru mimicry of parents and society Big fish eat the little fish. The strong devour the weak. ==== Equality Model ==== Egalitarian "Well, our aim here at Matrix Masters is to provoke an unmuffled, ungagged, and unsilenced generation of world citizens into speaking up and taking the actions necessary to wrest control from the privileged few and to reclaim this planet in the name of all the humans, animals, plants, and other forms of life who share its bounty." In stark contrast to the Hierarchy Model. Male dominance. Which is real? Why so many believe in Equality while the Hierarchy appears to be "built-in". Relative poverty causes crime. Unequal wealth distribution. Men want to climb the dominance hierarchy for access to women. Gini coefficient to aggression, high correlation, like .8. https://youtu.be/M3XYHPAwBzE Jordan Peterson Social deprivation. Herd behavior of particles, photons. Religious experience.

It never had anything to do with intelligence or national security. Allan Dulles of United Fruit Company. United Fruit and Standard Fruit would buy bananas, pineapple and other tropical fruits from farmers in Central Ameria. Nicaragua, El Salvador, Hondorus. A good business, transport and distribution in North America. But that was not enough. They staged a coup in each country, placed a puppet dictator in charge, who then nationalized the good farm land, and leased to United Fruit Company. The farmers who had lived and worked on the land for generations now found themselves without a livelihood, their way of life destroyed. Their only option was to work as a wage slave for the corporation. When they fought back it was called a rebellion, a revolution, a civil war. The USA newspapers talked of coups and internal discord. But it was theft. Genocide. And the American taxpayer took the fall for it all. They provided the guns, the money, the training and leadership. United Fruit changed their name to Chiquita. Standard Fruit changed their name to Dole. Petrochemical and military industries jumped on the bandwagon, and the CIA blueprint for grand theft of entire cultures has been repeated again and again around the world. ==== Layers ==== some of our psychological programming is a result of human interactions some human actions are enforced by sociological patterns Therefore a study of psychology is not complete without looking at sociology. ==== Business Enterprise ==== === Organization Forms === * open source * employee-owned * NGO, activist, charity * state-owned * family-owned * public listed * public unlisted * private * cartel, mafia * solo * criminal gangs === Lists === https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1O1V7Yw5MmEKytV1aGnoVVA9FEgtKzLguGOZjfHZxwA0/edit#gid=1150796701 === Control ==== business or state
