Tyranny Grows

Tyranny Grows in Leadership ?

Once any community embraces tyranny the penalties can only grow in severity. This gradual increase is easily seen by the examples that have occurred within political parties/political management and law society where individuals who speak out are attacked and ejected. 

As the members of the club became more concerned about the delights of power and socialising and less concerned about the disciplines of their fiduciary responsibility, they became more intolerant of honest members and outside people who were concerned over duty of care issues. 

Yet the moment these honest persons who did their duty by truthfully pointing out the shortcomings in the fiduciary performance of those in control they are just labelled as idiots and fools. They become labelled as outsiders.

The selfish cycle is irreversible because the appearance of a selfish majority means the community has lost its attachment to its morality; the source of its strength and understanding has gone. The rational and disciplined leaders of society have become irrational and undisciplined. 

Their moral mandate and communal understanding has died, only the appearance remains, but eventually even this will wither. The traditions, habits and laws which gave form to the community will slowly be discarded by each subsequent generation. The result will be increasing communal dementia with diminishing communal strength — a society floundering into increasing senility. 

That is why I only talk one solution for politics- the removal of immunity by the introduction of fiduciary law.

When Galileo asserted that the earth circled the sun, he was relating the evidence of his senses, however, such a claim contradicted official dogma that our planet was the centre of the universe and he was attacked by the authorities. The only way execution could be avoided by the scientist was to recant.


Prejudice Distorts Comprehension


The people who wanted to kill the enquirer of truth were clearly mad, they wanted to attack anyone who questioned their beliefs rather than consider the evidence. This irrational behavior shows another difficulty involved with using intelligence. Both sides in the argument possessed the faculty, but one side were deluded and dangerous. Prejudice, a desire to accept a belief for personal reasons, is a very powerful threat to comprehension. It will not only prevent an idea being considered but corrupt the ability of our senses to detect evidence to the contrary.

From Competent to Incompetent


The circumstances surrounding Government / Law / Human Rights failures has been suggested to have been caused by the nature of the management- for example, like a power company where electrical engineers are replaced by accountants with an inevitable degradation in facility. Such a change represents a change of policy, from what engineers are concerned with—achievement in their field— to what accountants are concerned with—profit. 


A change from dutiful fiduciary "duty of care concerns to self-seeking/ self bias, which is from competence to incompetence.
