Social Engineering

From JK' s philosophical approach or perspective ( which I have internalized mostly) we look a​​t human beings we can see they have failed to live and to experience life and instead tried to  'perceive life by creating all gods, -isms, 

 -ologies, doctrines and also mind too much about thoughts weaved around them besides trying to decipher meaning of life through them.

In a very complex world complicated further by many cunning players, conscious awareness and caution based on them are necessary to relate with individuals, events, things with proper perspective without causing much damage is also equally important.

Following write up on international politics is not comprehensive but brief observations. 

Not judgemental but facts on plate. 

Omissions are because they are mere manifestations of or symptoms of the root cause.

There are many dimensions to the dirty dynamics of international political scheming.

One will learn better how they all get well packaged as international diplomacy and global strategy when we carefully and closely observe every major moment in history without taking any sides or trying to evaluate or to judge from any specific perspective by reading through volumes of material from various resources on many subjects and collate them.

Let us peep into recent history, I mean of the past few centuries after the end of rule by emperors or Kings .

Disclaimer a very general, vague, superficial observation without any judgment and also acknowledge that there are lot of exceptions to every observation made because as stated earlier this is not a detailed study.

Portuguese in the name of exploration and trade enabled the world in many parts to knows about other territories , spices, pulses and vegetables in other parts of the globe but also created slavery and did not bother about human  or individual values or rights  or humanitarianism;

Britain ( to certain extent France) in the name of commerce and industrialization promoted well documented and empirically presentable scientific inventions and discoveries creating a more rational environment beyond the restraints of religious constraints ( crusades,  Inquisition, Roman empires' atrocities, Greece wallowing in a sense of intellectual superiority complex as did India and China) and  manufactured machines which facilitated life  but also colonized,  looted and did not bother about human or individual values or rights or humanitarianism; 

USA in the name modernization of life and march of civilization enabled and enhanced to accelerate the scientific temperament and encouraged unbiased scientific experiments and for overall material prosperity to enhance from fulfilling needs to fueling creed used capitalism which benefited the world through a new dimension of macro economic approach but engaged in many sorts of military operations and adventures  and did not bother about human or individual values or rights or humanitarianism; 

Communist nations in the name of providing much needed socialist values of  trying to minimize the gap between ultra rich and over privileged few elites and the deprived lot. However,  in the process they too paradoxically oppressed dissent in their own way as communist leaders ended up becoming power hungry leaders and they also did not bother about human  or individual values or rights or humanitarianism; 

Before these and still today, many religions ensure to protect many arts, culture, literature through emphasis on rituals and traditions and demand total obedience to and veneration of acclaimed or assigned authorities and ideologies but they too did/ do not bother about human or individual values or rights or humanitarianism; 

The traits and track records of all them have been homogenizing to hegemonize so that they can control and command human beings in groups as an effective means of social engineering.

The collective human spirit (in its stride having witnessed the manifestation of the common traits in many events, happenings and issues) has come up with certain new social creations which it thought would fulfill the justifiable requirements of the many without creating too much disparity  or discrepancies, lesser number of disadvantaged and minimal major destructive side effects while allowing enough room for hierarchical structures enough to satisfy inflated egos, not hampering the growth of  hyper intelligent, over smart, contributers with unique or great value or abilities or talents. 

Thus, was born  as attempt solve  many ills the following things (all of which are only few centuries old or less than a century old) :-

Universal literacy - to ensure basic skills of communication, reading and writing are imparted to as many as possible.

Economic prosperity- to ensure basic necessities like some food, shelter, clothing to as many as possible.

Democracy- to ensure basic participation in governance through elections and voting by as many as possible.

Fundamental human rights- to ensure basic accessibility to get protection to live with dignity to as many as possible.

Universal health care- to ensure basic health and nutritional needs reach as many as possible. 

Global organizations and platforms have been created to ensure that all or many of the above are made available to as many as possible.

Technologies, trade, sports, entertainment, scientific advancements, food, valuable natural resources through taking care of environment all of which help people transcending national boundaries which benefit as many as possible.

Today i.e. 8th Jan 2020s saying in TOI incidentally is, " we have over sixty thousand thoughts in a day....Learning to merely watch our thoughts and, without judging them or getting attached to them, letting them pass away, aids us in experiencing moments of empty spaces between thoughts- those tiny moments of infinite potential".- Rajiv Vij
