to describe the current state of social affairs

and the trends it foreshadows and perpetuates.

of relating social state to a cellular state

who wrote a book called "The Cancer Stage of Capitalism."

The rationale is pretty simple. Just as human beings

have to deal with pathogens invading and harming their life system

so too does the social system we all share.

Of course, these societal diseases are not generated

cultural "memes" that transfer from one to another based on values

These "memes" or patterns of perspective and behavior

are what eventually result from or comprise

Republicans, Democrats, the American Dream, etc.

In Chapter One we will examine the symptoms

and hence diagnose the current stage of disease we are in.

Then in Chapter Two we will establish a prognosis

meaning what can we expect from the future

as the current pathogenic patterns continue.

And finally, in Chapter Three, we will discuss treatment

and this is where the concept of a Resource-Based Economy

I am first going to describe what I call the "invisible prison".

This is the closed, intellectual feedback system

new socially altering concepts from coming to fruition.

The social order, as we know it, is created out of ideas

either directly or as a systemic consequence.

In other words, somebody somewhere did something

which generated a group interest, which then led to the implementation

of a specific social component, either in a physical form

by a large enough group of people, it becomes an institution.

And once that institution is made dominant in some way

while existing for a certain period of time

that institution can then be considered an establishment.

Institutional establishments are simply social traditions

In turn, the more established they become

the more cultural influence they tend to have on us

including our values, and hence, our identities and perspectives.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the established institutions

governing a person's environment is no less than a conditioning platform

to program that person with a specific set of values

Hence, we're going to call these "established value programs".

I have found the analogy of computer programming

While there is always a debate about genetics

Roxanne Meadows will go into at length later in the program

it's very easy to understand in the context of values

meaning what you think is important and not important

that information influences or conditioning

Make no mistake, every intellectual concept

is the result of a cultural information influence

The environment is a self-perpetuating programming process

and just like designing a software program for your computer

each human being is, advertently and inadvertently

To continue the analogy, the human brain is a piece of hardware

and the environment around you constitutes the programming team

which creates the values and perspective.

Every word you know has been taught to you one way or another.

for either nothing is me, or everything is me

when it comes to the information I understand and act upon.

Information is a serial process, meaning the only way

that a human being can come up with any idea

is through taking in dependent information

We appear to be culturally programmed from the moment

we come into this world to the moment we die

and I'm not going to drill in it much more than that.

However, consequently, the cultural attributes

are most often the ones that are reinforced by the external culture.

The most dominant cultural attributes maintained

are the ones that are reinforced by your environment.

If you are born into a society which rewards competition over collaboration
