Survivalists Should Exploit

As always, Will covered some general preparedness topics and current events related ideas and perspectives.

The show focused on the primary topic; The celebration of differences

Vive la difference!

(Long Live Difference)

Vive la difference! is used to show that you think it is good that there is a difference between two people or things, especially a difference between men and women.

Today as I have been diligently writing another chapter of my new book on societal rules and social order I am drawn to speak about the significance of differences as the concept pertains to survival and preparedness.

So, Will, what does the concept of differences have to do with survival.

Well that answer is complex and rather nuanced. So, let me begin by laying the foreground:

Thanks, in large part to the competing premises of “my three basic rules of human nature: Humans are lazy, greedy, and violent” , the human desire for pleasure (the id), and the Ego, the world with humans will never be without some form of social order. People who believe differently simply don’t understand human nature and have never studied history.

No two people are alike, like snowflakes, they are unique. Simply put even when you find another person who you are convinced is “so much like” you, they are at least the same amount different as similar. People are unique. The premise of equality is a legal and social precept, I am talking about cold hard facts. The idea of equality is destructive to a civil society. Equality is unattainable and therefore when made a central social goal dooms the society to failure. The premise that people can attain equality is only attainable by reducing every person to the lower common denominator. A vertically challenged person cannot reach things placed high without assistance and great effort. Tall people often miss seeing things that are low and are strained to kneel down to common everyday tasks. The list goes on. How do you make them equal, cut off the tall guy’s legs? It is a futile task.

Martin Luther King Jr. was not aiming for equality, he understood the fact that the differences were beneficial to all. He wanted parity. Parity is (I will paraphrase) the symmetry of behavior in an interaction of a physical entity with that of others who are the same. Instead he wanted a social / legal standing that gave everyone, not the same, but equal in the eyes of the law, to have access and opportunities no matter what their differences.

When we work together not laboring under the premise that we are equal, but that we are all unique we have the advantage that we can exploit the positive applications of those differences for the advantage of everyone. That is why I think wrapping your head around this simple concept is so important. Survival hinges on preparedness. Survival also depends upon efficient application of limited resources. Leveraging the extraordinary skills of unique group members will fuel innovation and productivity. That superior approach benefits all involved.

A friend in response to a conversation regarding a related topic said this, “Someone once said, "fences make for better neighbors." God helped us out in this respect when He gave people different languages. In so doing they automatically dispersed to their individual and separate places and as individual units they thrived. This could even be seen as the beginning of the free market. This is why the European Union was doomed from its inception.....way too many languages. A microcosmic example would be shopping at Walmart while the person next to you is speaking a different language. This becomes divisive and your suddenly suspicious of your own countrymen...”

I thought that he nailed it perfectly.
