Apotheosis of trust
"Smart head, but the fool got"
Saying
About 20 years ago, a everyday meeting with a colleague unexpectedly ended with a break of friendly relations. The colleague was a fascinated therapist and positioned himself as a specialist in non -traditional treatment methods. At that memorable meeting, he began to convince me of the high efficiency of wave therapy with the help of an apparatus, which he gathered by the drawings from the magazine. Suddenly he noticed my detachment and asked: "Do you believe me?" To which I received an honest answer: "Victor, I trust you, but now I do not believe any of your word, but you continue, since you need it, and while I have time." He sparkled with an indignant look, turned around and ... only a month later he came up himself and greeted a friendly one again: "Yes, you were right, my suggestion helped, not the waves."
The ethical incident with faith and trust was safely completed.
A negative pole is a universal distrust that gives rise to the energy of aggression and destruction
Trust is a powerful tool for regulating human social relations with himself and others. The topic of trust is key not only for people, but also for the animal world as a whole as a positive pole of the evolutionary process. A negative pole is a universal distrust that gives rise to the energy of aggression and destruction. The pole of trust and distrust is always addressed, have a personal nature, which differs from abstract concepts such as justice or humanism. On such a difference between trust and justice, psychological and ideological “slides” are built, from which arguments from one reality can easily slip into another. So in the famous Aphorism of Confucius - "How can you deal with a person who cannot be trusted? If there is no axis in the wagon, how can you go in it?" -The technical justice of the statement about the inanimate wagon without an axis is put forward as an argument of the moral inferiority of a living person, that is, a rationally measured object is woven into an irrational and uncomplicated personality quality without any objective grounds.
The "botanists" are mocking, and the "Prokhindes" are pleasing, the ideas of Chuchhe and controlled democracy dominate the infantile consciousness of subordinates over the simple values of everyday life
Synchronous mixing of heterogeneous actions to achieve their goals is inherent in living nature, manifests itself in different abilities, for example, in the behavior of a mantis or chameleon, and most pronounced among people. This quality depends on the development of virtual intelligence-natural structural-functional ability to synchronously evaluate the logic of multidimensional information and make useful decisions. Virtual individual and group intelligence is formed on three interconnected bases: technological, emotional and social intelligence.
Technological intelligence is an intuitive ability to solve the tasks of life, gloss-role and professional activity based on the self-esteem of individual and collective capabilities such as "I can-I can not", "I can-I can’t." This is the key of the evolutionary process and the progress of civilization, with the help of which success is formed:
- in the animal world - methods of adaptation and survival, arrangement of habitats, communications, preservation of offspring, etc.;
- a person has professional multin intensiveness and specialization with their peaks of achievements: a genius, a hero, a villain, etc.;
-In small and large social groups-intellectual-technical and cultural and historical competition.
Technological intelligence realizes itself according to the formula: I know - I understand - I can - I do it - I am proud and material product at the output, for example: Nora, anthill, bird's nest on wood, pencil, phone, car, computer, rocket, etc.
Emotional intelligence forms and realizes methods of sensual ethical assessment and response on the scales "good - bad", "pleasure - discomfort", "sympathy - antipathy", etc.
Social intelligence develops and chooses options for rational and moral cooperation on the scales "I want - I do not want", "I must - I must -" permissible - it is impossible "," profitable - at a loss ", etc. By the formula: I believe - I hope - I love - praise - I deify - pride and various religious, corporate, social rules and laws at the output.
Between the three elements of virtual intelligence are enhancing and weakening, accelerating and inhibiting relations of asymmetry, synergy, ambivalence and other types of mutual assignments. The consistency or virtual dissonance of these elements can be identified and measured using egoscopy.
The fate of human and the state depends on the attached individual and collective efforts on the development and improvement of different elements of virtual intelligence. In a folk ironic saying that "smart head (technological intelligence), but a fool (social intelligence) went to" a clearly bred the resulting effect of "clubfoot" learning and education of personality. The phenomenon of the social stupidity of brilliant people and entire nations is explained precisely by the uneven development of different elements of virtual intelligence: they are mocking the “botanists”, and the “prochindes” are pleasing, the ideas of the wichhe and controlled democracy dominate the infantile consciousness of subordinates over the simple values of everyday life.
Countries with developed technological intelligence attract inventors from places in which the ideological dictatorship of social intelligence prevails over freedom of production of useful products. The social nonsense of prohibition gradually leads to the economic impoverishment of citizens and to the general degradation of the state.
And what about confidence? It becomes a state business, aimed at the intranal and ephemeral praise and deification of the ruler, to the formation of the irrational faith in the superiority of his mind, into the unconditional correctness of his actions. He was born the same as everyone, but became different because of his special intellectual and moral qualities. The social infantility of adults allows ideological craftsmen to be easily introduced into their minds, the virtual “chips” of abstract ideas of the spiritual superiority of the Russian state over other countries and peoples as the most important action in their personal biography.
In this case, commoner unconsciously identifies himself with the ruler, the trust in which reaches the numbers that are inconceivable for a balanced society - 90%. Social stupidity gives rise to an apotheosis of trust in the "greatness" and "rightness" of the country in the mass of ordinary citizens.
Recently I had a chance to become a member of one conversation. The man spoke about the ethical shock that happened to him on the train. It was a reserved seat car, and, as usual, free talk about everything in the world was conducted. And suddenly everything changed as soon as he declared his disagreement with what was happening in the country: the car “uploaded” and fell upon him with a full set of television arguments about the historical and geopolitical mission of fair and good Russia, about the spirituality of the West, about the enemies of Russia and the fifth column, about Holy Rus' and various perverts, about Libya, Kosova and Fascinating Ukraine. However, they agreed about the exorbitant price of Crimea and the “Russian world” - yes, it’s too big, but we will darken and everything will be obeyed, and you need to send you to Kolyma so that the youth does not knock down the righteous path.
From such verbal pressure of the frantic “righteous” at the “pest”, an association arose to the motive of the famous picturesque allegory "Apotheosis of Napoleon." Only in his place was the supreme commander in chief, but he was not sitting on a heavenly chariot, but on a mushroom from a nuclear explosion. This is the last breath of apotheosis of the trust of social fools.
Wake up, fellow tribesmen, and think about the fact that your boundless trust in power can convert you into radioactive dust.
