The Living Society
I've said it a million times. A society is a living thing. It is a sophisticated bee hive of individuals all working while interacting with one another. In the case of the bees, there is a simple but effective set of bee behaviors that each bee engages in depending on the genetic makeup of the particular bee. Humans however, covet more than just honey for their daily bread. We all require lots of bread in more ways than one. But just for argument's sake let use the bee hive example to experiment with to see the effect.
It's pretty simple in the hive. Make and store as much honey as possible to consume later and grow - separate into new colonies. That's it. This feat is not directed centrally but is done in a decentralized fashion by each bee doing what its DNA calls for. The bee is given certain tools to do jobs and naturally goes about doing that job to advance the interests of the hive. Suppose the Queen Bee, decides she wants to do more than just screwing around all the time. She feels that more resources must go to fight "Al-Bear-Da." So she centrally instructs more of the honey for the use of the bees defending the hive and she holds a lottery. The lottery each day picks the bees who have to go out that particular day and sting somebody or something. Of course bees die after stinging so it's a suicide mission.
At the end of the season the Queen gets the report on the stock of honey. The question is will the stock of honey rise or fall under the Queen's tough defense policy? Since less honey is available than normal for rearing new bees less will survive into adulthood. Also, many bees that would have lived and brought in much more honey than they would have consumed perished in the Al-Bear-da struggle. But alas they gave their lives fighting against Al-Bear-Da and their allies. God Bless the Troops!!! So the population of the hive drops and less honey is produced. To return to full production the Queen only needs to get her fat ass out of the way and just go back to screwing around.
What is true for the bee hive is the same for the human cultures. To return to full production in America the central powers need only get out of the way and let each of us create wealth without restriction, taxation or requirements for documentation from Washington. Congress must get out of the way and just go back to screwing around.
