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.

How To Help & Who To Contact

The primary author does not belong to any political party or religion and is registered as an independent voter. Holology is not affiliated with any political entity, theological interpretation or indeed any organization but the Social Engineering Notebook and nihilism through the CounterOrder Cadre. "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 by any, external corporate interference or editorial oversight, and commercial advertising.
