The emergent nature of reality is that all is that all systems, whether it is knowledge, society, technology, philosophy or any other creation will when uninhibited undergo fluid perpetual change. What we concider common place today, such as modern communication and transportation would've been unimaginable in ancient times. Likewise the future will contain technologies, realisations and social structure that we cannot even imagine at present.

We have gone from alchemy to chemistry. From a geocentric universe, to a heliocentric. From believing that demons were the cause of illnes, to modern medicine. This developement show no sign of ending, and it is this awareness that aligns us and leads us to a continous path to growth and progress. Static and empirical knowledge does not exist. Rather it is the insight of the emergance of all systems we must recognize.

This means we must be open to new information at all times, even if it threatens our current belief system, and hence identities. Sadly, society today has failed to recognize this, and the established institutions continues to paralyze growth, by preserving out-dated social structures. Simoltaniously the population suffers from fear of change. For their conditioning assumes a static identity. And challenging ones belief system usually results in insult and apprehension. For being wrong is erroniously associated with failure. When, in fact, to be proven wrong should be celebrated, for it is elevating someone to a new level of understanding, furtherly, awareness.

The fact is, there is no such thing as a "smart" human being. For it is merely a matter of time before their ideas are updated, changed or eradicated. And this tendency to blindly hold on to a belief system, sheltering it from new, possibly transforming information, is nothing less than a form of intellectual materialism.

The monetairy system perpetuates materialism. Not only by its self-preserving structures, but also through the countless number of people who have been conditioned into blindly, thoughtlessly upholding these structures. Therefore becoming "self-appointed guardians of the status quo". Sheep, which no longer need a sheep dog to control them. For they control eachother, by ostracizing those who step out of the norm.

This tendency to resist change and uphold existing institutions for the sake of identity, comfort, power and profit, is completely unsustainable, and will only produce further imbalance, fragmentation, distortion, and variably, destruction.

It's time to change.

From hunters and gatherers, to the aggricultural revolution, to the industrial revolution. The patter is clear. It is time for a new social system which reflects the understandings we have today. The monetairy system is a product of a period of time where scarcity was reality. Now with the age of technology, it's no longer relevant to society. Gone with the abberant behaviour it manifests.

Likewise, dominant world views, such as theistic religion, operates with the same social irrelevancy. Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism and all of the others, exists as barriers to personal and social growth. For each group perpetuates a closed world view. And this understanding that they acknowledge is simply not possible in an emergant universe. Yet religion has succeeded in shutting down the awareness of this emergance, by instilling the psychological distortion of faith upon its followers where logic and new information is rejected, in favor of traditionalized, outdated beliefs.
