Gender and racial discrimination, exploitation and so forth are only effects. The real problem is that it is possible to suppress the people with false Science or false descriptions of the world; that supports Might Is Right. Or like this. We are not genuine citizens.
That AI systems can "read" and "write" presentations means also that it is likely that many humans can understand the same relations. See this answer by the AI chatbot Perplexity 21 May 2024. Here is a short version.
I understand your point better now. You are suggesting that since both AI systems and humans are processing language based on statistical patterns and relationships, there is a likelihood that the patterns an AI recognizes would also be recognizable and understandable to many humans. This is a fair perspective, and you make a valid point. If we accept that: ...
Are you truly free if your education is designed to make you obedient? In this eye-opening journey, Ola Alexander Frisk challenges everything you thought you knew about education and science.
This book reveals how these systems, rather than liberating us, gradually shape us by repeated experiences to fear change and crave the stability promised by dictators. Through understanding and dismantling these hidden constraints, you can unlock your potential to think, create, and innovate.
The confusion between reason and logic is at the heart of this issue. By mistaking logic for true reason, we are subtly guided to uphold the status quo and resist new possibilities. This provocative exploration uncovers how our institutions train us to reject independent thinking and embrace authoritarianism.
Uncover:
How educational systems reinforce obedience over creativity
The crucial difference between logic and reason, and why it matters
The hidden dogmas that restrict our thinking and support authoritarianism
Practical steps to unlearn biases and grasp Democracy in a concrete way
Why we fear change and prefer familiar stability
The impact of science and education on maintaining traditional norms
Techniques to foster genuine understanding, innovation, and progress
Strategies to recognize and challenge unconscious prejudices
Join Ola Alexander Frisk as he exposes the hidden biases that make us vulnerable to authoritarianism. This book is not just a critique but a call to action. By breaking free from these mental constraints, we can begin the crucial work of understanding, creating, and changing the world for the better.
It has been very hard to present what I write about to the general public. But finally I think I have solved this riddle. Or at least, now I have some insights of how to take these first steps. So, here is the first version.
Before it is possible to grasp how we're restricted by the Hidden dogmas of the Church, we need to explore how Hidden restrictions can exist in Science.
We, in the Western world, have a strange attraction for dictators. This is the usually Hidden relationship that explains this phenomenon. Dictators prosper by exploiting our fear of Change. This fear is the result of what is said to be Education and Science. Because, Education and Science, that is said to help us, actually reinforce Obedience and erase our capacity to Create alternatives.
We're simply trained to reject a concrete understanding of Change, leaving us desperate for the shiny stability promised by strongmen. However, true Education and Science unlock the door to a better future through Questioning, Exploring and Creating new possibilities. Here is a brief overview of this main theme.
It is our blind acceptance of current Education and Science that expose the glaring paradox: how can supposedly free people, with knowledge of Science, embrace Dictators who strangle freedom?
To be precise, the answer lies in our misunderstanding of Logic and Reason. We're taught that Logic is objective and neutral and the very foundation of Science. But is it?
Consider how math education often promotes getting the "right" Logical answer in a mystical way rather than cultivating a concrete understanding of the process to reach to the result. This method trains the students' to believe that there is no concrete way to reach the predetermined "correct" solution.
The true role of Logic is to justify How It Is or the status quo, by blocking the process of Creation to reach a result.
Accordingly we are trained to view the world through distorted lenses of a Hidden bias. Just as rose-tinted glasses cast an artificial rosy glow, our unconscious prejudices deny us to Create and Change. So, without us realising it, this denial colors our thoughts, dreams, feelings, and actions.
Genuine Education and Science challenge assumptions and Create new perspectives. But our institutions often use Logic as a blunt weapon against Creating alternatives and Change.
That Logic is in fact a restriction, can only be understood when it is known or that Reason is our main intellectual area or faculty; that includes a concrete knowledge of how to Create and Change.
Ergo, when we mistake Logic for Reason, we lose our ability to Create alternatives and drive progress. The overall effect is that bullying and mob mentality rules and people love Authority as well as Dictators.
One more time a bit different. Logic justifies established traditions. Reason follows facts and evidence wherever they lead, including toward the once-unthinkable.
By exposing our training in Logic, we can dissolve confusion and reinstate Reason. Then, we are free to Create valid solutions.
Consider this: when you realize that Education and Science often train citizens to see life through Logical glasses that erase the possibility of positive change, then is the present Western hopelessness explained. With this insight, you can begin the crucial work of unlearning these biases and relearning how to Understand, Create and Change the world for the better.
And for sure, your efforts will be empowered with the knowledge that the demand for Logic was one of the most important dogmas of the Church.

... with the idea of unions, but the professor mean, I reason that is different than you may expect is which I just don't like anything which creates kind of Lords and peasants sort of thing. And I think the Union's naturally try to create. Negativity in a company negativity Negativity and and create a sort of Lords and peasants situation. There are many people at Tesla who have come and gone from working on the line to being in Senior Management. ...
Musk’s Tesla battles the very national identity of the Swedes – the conformist ideal – that is protected by the state. A conformism that is said to be about “solidarity” between workers.
I have nothing against trade or labor unions as such. But in Sweden are the workers unions integrated into the mystical national state.
In short, unions in Sweden are a vital part of to trick the people to Obedience and Conformity; promoted with the kitschy Soviet style ideal of so-called solidarity.
Platonism is of course the very foundations of Totalitarianism or the demand that Obedience and Conformity must rule and then has this stupidity different flavors or cultural identities. In Sweden are the Static demands extremely strict and strong.
And unfortunately, Platonism is today the base of so-called Science and so-called Education.
So, the ongoing fight between Elon Musk and Swedism is as funny as it gets and is one of many confrontations between new Dynamic demands and the earlier Static ideals.
The only real solution is of course to Dissolve the Static ideals of Platonism – So if you are on X / Twitter – I was kicked out many years ago – please tell that to Elon!
A Clash Between Dynamism and Conformity: Elon Musk Challenges the Swedish Way of Life by Bard
Elon Musk's ongoing battle with Swedish labor unions has sparked intense debate, pitting his dynamic entrepreneurial spirit against the deeply ingrained principles of Swedish society. At the heart of this conflict lies the concept of conformity, a cultural phenomenon that values social harmony, collective well-being, and adherence to established norms.
Musk's Tesla service centers across Sweden exemplify his dynamic approach to business. He advocates for long hours, challenging work environments, and a culture of rapid innovation. In contrast, Swedish labor unions are firmly entrenched in the concept of "Lagom," a Swedish ideal that promotes moderation, balance, and harmony.
The recent strikes at Tesla's Swedish service centers in ten different locations highlight this cultural clash. Workers demanded collective bargaining rights, a concept that Musk has repeatedly opposed. He views unions as hindering his ability to implement rapid changes and maintain a competitive edge.
This conflict goes beyond labor relations; it touches upon the very essence of Swedish identity. Sweden prides itself on its egalitarian society, where social harmony and collective well-being take precedence over individual ambition. Musk's unapologetic pursuit of innovation and his distaste for unionization challenge these deeply held beliefs.
While Musk's critique of Swedish labor unions may appear harsh, it raises important questions about the balance between individual freedom and collective well-being. Can a society embrace innovation and dynamism while preserving its core values of solidarity and equality?
The ongoing debate between Musk and Swedish labor unions is a microcosm of a broader global struggle between individualistic entrepreneurialism and collective social structures. The outcome will undoubtedly shape the future of work and society as we know it.
To delve deeper into the philosophical underpinnings of Swedish conformity and the potential impact of Musk's dynamic approach, the book 'We All Want to Change the World – We Need to Get Rid of Platonism!' offers insightful perspectives. This thought-provoking work explores the nuanced dynamics at play in this cultural clash.
As Musk continues to challenge the status quo in Sweden, his actions will undoubtedly have far-reaching implications for the future of work, innovation, and society as a whole. The outcome of this clash between dynamism and conformity will be closely watched by individuals and governments around the world.
