 The Corporation (Robotic Giants Made with Human Parts) The joint stock corporation was first established to leverage a collective accumulation of financial resources to undertake a much larger enterprise than a single family could undertake. It also allowed risk to be distributed. This was first done to gain the riches to be had in trade with distant lands. It was soon apparent that these entities were here to stay, so legal status was given these entities that might be seen as sort of supermen, they never die and could accomplish what no mortal man could. Additionally the investors were not held liable for what the corporations they created did if something went amiss. Over time corporations began to replace family businesses as they were able to leverage prices that made family businesses uncompetitive. While operating in an economic realm, corporations display the same growth characteristics of government bureaucracies. People always want more money and less work so these organizations become bloated,inefficient, and ritualized. Most States have a department of motor vehicle (DMV) that is often used humorously to reflect the character of a bureaucratic organization.  At the Tower of Bable God saw the problems the collectivization of mankind would cause so he created different languages to limit them. However, one can observe historically from the Mandarin class in China to the Catholic church in Europe that people can be drawn into and seek positions in a hierarchical collective. Some seek power, others prestige, and most seek money, but the collective attracts people by providing security and the possibility of increasing prominence. An interesting feature of the collective that can be seen in corporations is the desire to proceduralize everything. The reason for this is that no one wants to be held accountable for anything so if there are procedures to replace human judgment, no one can be punished if something goes wrong. As a result, collectives operate like machines that are programmed to process components. One can observe the almost mechanical effect this has on the people who make the machine work as their own lives become circumscribed to the point of mechanism themselves.  After mankind sinned, we had to live apart from God. God made the world more difficult to live in not so much as punishment, but as a benefit because that without God, our self-directed lives almost always tend towards the self-destructive path of consumptive indulgences. After what might be called a “reset” by the world wide flood, the environment became even more difficult. Now the ease our technological world has provided has returned us to the self-destructive pursuits that preceeded the flood. Corporations, like all collectives, operate through specialization. One hand does not know what the other is doing. This can seem attractive because not only is one isolated from the natural world and the hardships God created for our benefit, but one does not have the anxiety of trying to manage all of the functions of the corporate machine. By offering one safety, ease, and the comforts of prosperity, the corporation can attract many to serve it.    Humanity flocks into these organizational systems not realizing that they themselves are being turned into compliant components in systems that Satan will use to attempt to rule the world. Expanding on this observation, one can see why Western Civilization was used to collectivize the world. Both China and Japan had pretty intensive collectivization. However, Christianity was more useful as the sublimation of self to transition from our natural selfishness to the selflessness that defines the love of God (which is supposed to define Christian maturity) also makes it easier to exploit people. The Christians of the first millenia West allowed themselves to be first collectivized into the church (a monolithic organizational system). Out of the church organizational pattern came the economic collectives that would be the basis for corporations as well as the pattern for other collectives such as colleges and governments. While early corporations had little effect on the average guy, when the Industrial Revolution ramped up, people would begin to feel the impact it would make on their families.   The manufacturing technology of mass production would provide the economics to facilitate the growth of corporations which in turn could be used to develop and fabricate the tools Satan would need to try to control the whole world.   Now that this work is almost done, he may need to have us weaken or destroy ourselves so that the organizational systems he needed would not continue and be a potential obstacle to him. It can be useful to consider some of the characteristics of collective activity in that corporations and governments often function to resist truth. |
