Same thoughts, same mistakes

There is only one conspiracy – against people who think or act different. Not the “different” people use for justifying their opinions, but the one that changes the reality in which those opinions happen.

In easier words: Many can have thoughts and discussions on how to make violence more humane but never actually considering a world without it. Others – those extremely rare – start with a completely new thought in which violence does not exist anymore. Each approach is fundamentally distinct one from another.

In the first case, people have thoughts which they knew from their past, from their memory, and from their experience. Essentially no new revelations can occur through such an approach; at best, a new crossover is constructed from what already existed before. Like breeding of dogs: new varieties can be created but not a new animal.

In the second case, there is no existing pre-thought. No own experience or memory (history) is used, just a spontaneous reaction to a new challenge; perhaps comparable to an emergency situation. Acting quicker than one can think – only then a new thought is created.

This second reply is far more efficient and direct. It creates a fast and state-of-the-art response to any old or new situation.

Spontaneity is thoughtless

Apparently, people are not aware of this possibility. They were taught from parents and schools to use the first inefficient approach. As a result important institutions like a government are incapable in dealing with any new-occurring situation.

They usually respond in two ways: reacting to it as some earlier government has done it in the past, or copying it from some other country, which serves as a role model. Both ways are regarded as safe options.

The Learning from the past has shown that people tend to repeat mistakes endlessly rather than to omit them. Therefore, traditions, national holidays or commemorations are of no use in preventing wars or other disasters – they are more likely to make them recur.

Still countries invest all their vigor into old patterns, which are mostly inapplicable to a current problem. The creation of any new thought gets prevented thereby – and history repeated.
