What if
understanding the universe was not an exercise
akin to a jigsaw puzzle but rather a Rubik's
cube? In other words we're not gaining a
completely accurate understanding by fitting tiny
pieces together to gain an entire image but
should also search for meaning as a whole? It's
an increasingly pernicious element of our
information age to be constantly bombarded by a
barrage of pictures, sounds, opinions, ideas and
notions to the point of desensitization and
eventually the inability of the individual to
process anything meaningful. The 'information
age' is an information
calamity. Fortunately much of this is useless or
can be ranked as of little concern but the
difficulty is doing the ranking quickly and
efficiently without losing substance.
Thus Holology is partly an education system, or
rather the effort to build a useful and effective
method of learning in general and also dealing
with information overload, it's about extracting
signal from noise and chucking the chaff to
collect the matter of concern. But wait, there's
more!

What Is
Holology?
Holology encompasses
the two primary forces of destruction and
construction and their corollary methodologies of
nihilism and social engineering (sometimes
referred to under the general terms of
reductionism and holism respectively). Fundamentally
Holology is about the promotion and extenuation
of intelligence. Holology
also strives to better understand the time, place,
and means of conducting both; King
Solomon once wrote ".. for there will be
a time for every activity, a time for every deed."
Ecclesiastes 3:17. Holology is
a different weltanschauung, a new way of looking
at the world.

Every
corporate marketer and media mogul thinks
on a linear pattern that debasement has
no bottom in potential or market appeal.
Yet not everyone wants to believe it's
raining when they get piss on their shoes.
A few people out there actually want to
think creatively. And although this may
be merely a profound rediscovery of the
obvious it has monumental significance.
This is for those who care or dare to
comprehend. The rare few who can realize
a problem and address it, solve it and
move on no matter how deep its
implications or friction against mores. |

There is a time for everything,
"a time to kill and a
time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to
build," Ecclesiastes 3:3
What
is Social Engineering?
This site is about
many things but the common theme is the
structures that form and sustain culture and
society. All these components come together in a
symbiotic relationship to form the system we call
civilization, but then you already knew that,
right? Just like the variables in an equation
each aspect can be changed individually or
collectively to create different results. The
term 'social
engineering' originated in 1925 and is defined
as
"management
of human beings in accordance with their place
and function in society: applied social science." You may also have
heard of social engineering used in relation to computer
systems. The pop-lexicon has an unofficial definition to mean
gaining passwords through false pretenses for unlawful purposes
or to test system security. But this site is not about that
although if that's how you got here you'll still find something
of interest to read so stick around.
Human behaviour is
so profoundly self-centered that most fail to
comprehend the fact that our civilization is not
the historical apex of perfection. Both better
and worse have existed before and will exist
after our own is long forgotten. What we have
today can be improved upon, but the costs in
doing so are nearly always higher than the
collective population is willing to pay. This is
why dictatorships evoke such horror, curiosity
and academic study - they defy the entropy of
status-quo and create change. But is
despotism and human nature evil? Can
behaviour be modified and controlled and does
free will exist? What happens when 'bad' becomes
'good'? Stay tuned and learn the answers to these
questions and many more.
Organization
For
convenience and accessibility, Holology has eight
departments, Authority, Communications, Consciousness,
Destruction, Information, Methodology, Outcome
and, Structure & Order. Here's a description
and a link to each department:
-
Authority - The
Department of Authority deals with the
implementation and actualization of
concepts and ideas.
-
Communications - Manages
the distribution and acquisition of
information as well as public relations.
-
Consciousness - The
DoC manages individual and group issues
both tangible and spiritual.
-
Destruction - The
DoD manages and implements forces of
destruction, entropy, and disorder.
-
Methodology - The
Department of Methodology develops and
analyzes practices, procedures and
process' to achieve successful outcome.
-
Outcome - The
Department of Outcome measures results of
process' and methodologies as well as
catalogues events.
-
Research - Concerns
health, safety, and various other topics.
-
Structure
& Order - The
Department of Structure & Order
manages the systems that regulate society
and culture.
At
the moment Holology is under rapid development,
but on a generic level Holology is structured to
be made up of people and ideas. This necessarily
entails both full time employees and volunteers
and part time contributors and eventually
something like a company or a church with
finances and promotion and recruiting etc.
So
Holology is not just an ideology or just a
religion, it's a little of everything and a
little of nothing, a weltanschauung. It
encompasses not just one aspect of a life but all.
But that doesn't mean one can't like one part and
reject another just as religious people do with
passages of the Bible. So Holology is not
antagonistic it's cooperative. Holology is non-government,
non-politics and non-religious although it
nonetheless discuses and analyzes political and
religious issues to better understand them.
Furthermore, Holology is not necessarily non-spiritual
because the concept of spiritual is intangible,
it's a positive accumulation of factors leading
to health and well-being of both the individual
and the group. And everyone can make their own
determination on that one.
Our [Tentative]
Constitution
The
Spiritual Principles of Holology:
-
Intelligence
is the ultimate panacea.
-
The purpose
of human existence is the search for and
addition of meaning to descendants and
ourselves.
-
Our visions
of subjective complexity are nothing more
than a profound misunderstanding of
simplicity.
-
Truth is
verifiable consistency. God is truth,
truth is power, to know truth is to have
the power of God.
The
Structural Principles of Holology:
Every individual citizen has the unmitigated
right to:
-
The freedom
of expression to disprove any idea,
theory or law in any form in public and
private.
-
Freedom to
pursue personal gain but not at the cost
of collective citizen well-being
-
Define their
own identity free from coercion subtle or
brutal - legislative mandate, cultural
imperative or mass media. [A sense of
purpose and identify is so critical to
survival that it must be guarded more
jealously than individual life itself .]
-
The freedom
from coercion in action or thought
originating from any rule, law or
principle by any name which is known to
be false. [any rule, law or principle by
any name known to be false cannot be used
to coerce public action or thought. ]
The Big Book of
Holology
Holology
in Internet form is called The Social
Engineering Notebook; but whether in printed
or digital form it's nothing like the typical
partisan or theological mental stamp press where the vociferous
preachers force their one-size-fits-all pseudo-solutions
onto everyone else while conveniently excepting
themselves in the forceful
process. Rather the Holology book, and web site,
serve as a resource for the individual to better
understand social structures and world events
while interacting with others on a higher plane
to create and define their own life-meaning and
weltanschauung.
The
book of Holology, now in development, is for when readers
ask 'where does this stuff come from?' And 'how
does Freydis come up with this [hopefully no
expletive here] stuff?' It's giving
everyone who cares or dares to read the
ammunition they need to defend against the fools
and loudmouths plaguing everyday life while
simultaneously laying down a a targeted volley of
return fire - winning new allies and vanquishing
old enemies.
Examples of the
pioneering authors and landmark source material
included...
-
'Propaganda' and the
spread of Ideas - The Crowd by Gustave Le
Bon; Susan Blackmore's The Meme Machine
-
Biology and Human
nature - Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene,
etc.
-
Philosophy &
nihilism - King Solomon's Book of Ecclesiastes,
Nietzsche, etc.
-
Organizational
structures: From A. Hitler to VI Lenin
-
Conflict and
revolution from Marighella to Colonel Qiao Liang
-
Just to name a few!
The
book of Holology will work for the reader on
multiple levels, for many it will be both a
source of informative analysis and modern
scientific conclusions on a wide range ideas and
critical issues from physics to biology and
mental to physical health. For some it will even
be a way of life and a source of community in
goals and identity. It will also be a valuable
asset to nihilists as well because they can
easily access the roots and source material both
scientific and philosophical that so inexorably
accumulates into the formation of their caustic
world-view.
Other ideas
to consider concerning the book are...
-
A
monthly disbursement and update, like a
book of the month club!
-
Issuing
it in loose leaf form - the three ring
binder Bible, add the parts you like,
trash the parts you don't! Flexibility,
improvability, and time critical aspects
can and will be addressed.
But
for now Holology will continue to be primarily an
online resource because that provides the
greatest freedom and flexibility for remaining
current and topical.
Who
Is Freydis? (About The Author)
Some readers of
Holology are interested in the background of the
primary author and designer for the Holology
website you're reading. If you think some of it
is unconventional or even provocative you'd be
right but please don't neglect the constructive
intent. Change is a reaction to discomfort and
the discomfort of new ideas and challenges to pre-existing
notions in mind or environment for body is the
source of change. Social-scale change is the art
of finding ways to make as many people
uncomfortable as possible and yet to generate
discomfort is classified by the dictatorship of
public opinion as evil, therefore change is
"evil". Blaming this 'evil' only
condemns solutions.
Such statements
likely leads an audience to curiosity concerning
the author and protagonist of heterodoxy. But
myself is the least gratifying topic I can
discuss I feel because objectivity and
impartiality are essentially impossible and my
ideas are more important than being, or so it
seems. To most I seem an enigma especially in
person but that's a product of cultural bias. In
America where I live they wear their opinions and
especially their ambitions on their facades,
shallow shells that hide nothing and find comfort
in obliviousness. Most everyone stumbles over
themselves to disabuse the world of false notions
concerning their failures and faults often with
little success. I remain undaunted by public
opinion of my abilities or lack of them because I
don't draw my strength and personal value from
the weak and unsubstantiated perceptions of
people that don't know me and can't understand me.
My highest aesthetic value is best summarized by
the 18th century Dutch writer Hemsterhuis who so
succinctly stated that beauty is that which
provokes the greatest number of ideas in the
shortest time.
Remember:
the
validity of the idea is not dependent upon the character
of the proponent or the appealing qualities of the
delivery but rather upon how well it matches with what we
can test, think and feel, and its function within everyday life
and events.
The
Writing Style
One
circumstance in particular used to torment me -
namely the circumstance that no one else was like
me, and that I was like no one else. I am a
person to myself, whereas they are everybody.
From:
Notes from the Underground, Dostoyevsky.
Philosophical
discussion especially on an interpersonal plane
seems to be a very troublesome issue to the
average person. They instinctively believe that
what you say is your opinion i.e. what you
believe. They take offense at perceived
difference and submit accolades to the perceived
similarities to their own beliefs. Indeed in my
experience talking to people concerning these
subjects is an exercise akin to futility. Which
is why I write so much, in many ways why this
site even exists. I think our society is too
quick to relegate writing to the dustbin of
history, replacing it with the audio-visual,
speech and images. For me anyway those methods
have a seemingly inherent inability to convey
philosophical, and especially politically charged
ideas. But within such a charged atmosphere
speech makes it difficult to distinguish this.
Thus I write in a form that is like Hegel's
dialectic, using contrasting viewpoints and
antithesis to achieve a knowledge synthesis. Or
more accurately it's a synthesis of nearly
similar elements and their neighborly mutations; but I
shouldn't get any more confusing or Hegelian than
I already have here. So when you read this don't
immediately assume that what I'm stating is my
opinion, but rather it's often disparate but
hopefully enlightening observations.

"The
end of birth is death; the end of death is birth:
this is ordained!" - The Bhagavadgita; the two systems may or may not lead
to one another but whether they ever connect I
leave open for debate. It is the firm desire of
the Holology organization to remain unencumbered
