Society structure

Modern society consists of numerous levels of leaders and followers. The main leader has his subordinates as his followers. They have their assistants and are leaders for them. This chain goes down to the family, where children are the last followers, but the main carriers of existing rules and habits. It is they who, having matured, will be the guardians of the existing foundations, nipping in the bud everything progressive and expedient.

It will be possible to change this situation only when the role of the acquired instinct that he is a reasonable person is weakened in human psychology. It is this instinct that gives leaders a sense of the expediency of their ideas about the life of society and turns them into dictators. They organize a dialogue with followers who are sympathetic to this, considering themselves also reasonable, since they manage to benefit themselves even with the most reckless leader. And so on throughout the chain, leader and follower.

In fact, we are, rather, not intelligent, but capable and understanding. Almost every person can master any, even the most complex, profession. But for this he must necessarily go through a learning process. He himself will not be able to master this, since a person’s ability to do something new is formed through the accumulation of many new, acquired instincts - habits. If new things fit harmoniously into the existing set of acquired instincts, then a person will become a great specialist and will even be able to independently improve his skills. Only at this level can one expect the manifestation of intelligence, when something is formed that was previously unknown and that another, capable person can learn.

Nowadays, every official or scientist considers himself especially intelligent, since he can easily manipulate statements with many hackneyed truths. This is a mandatory factor for them to reach the appropriate level, and candidates are sensitive to this. As a result, an environment is formed where new applicants break through, possessing only an encyclopedic memory, which, however, allows them to live by simulating the corresponding activity. This environment is indifferent to something new, not because it is so smart, but because it lacks the habit of learning and improvement. Nobody taught them this, but on the basis of the innate instinct of survival, they spontaneously found a form of existence for people with an encyclopedic memory.

The main distinguishing feature of acquired instincts from innate ones is that they are not inherited. The new generation needs to form them themselves, which is not difficult. From the very day of birth, their thinking begins to perceive the information field surrounding it. The words of parents and their actions form the initial package of acquired instincts. Communication with peers and the innate instincts of inclination and imitation complement them. Entering into independent life, a person will follow these acquired instincts. A person falls into slavery (more correctly thinking) of his own habits, and no matter how negative they are, he will not be able to cross them out. He (or a specialist) can only block their action with another habit, which, under certain conditions, can lead to the revival of old habits.

The continuous nature of thinking activity creates certain difficulties for a person in his free time from work, sleep and eating. He develops an emotional state that we call boredom. While a person is busy with something, thinking has enough informational food for its work. As soon as a person becomes free, thinking begins to experience information hunger and begins to process previously recorded information and, on this basis, form acceptable actions for a person. During these periods of time, false expediencies can easily form and acquire the status of an acquired instinct that will affect a person for the rest of his life.

In the technological age, when the duration of free time is only increasing, underestimation of this phenomenon when analyzing various forms of relationships in society can lead to negative consequences. This is especially true for the younger generation. Within the framework of a market economy, it has long been abandoned to the mercy of fate. Their free time is filled spontaneously. With the burden of contemplative acquired instincts, they face the realities of life. Someone, over time, will be able to form the appropriate blocking acquired instincts, but the old ones will one way or another influence his activities. Will such a generation be able to find the right path to optimize existing systemic relationships in society? The question remains open for now.
