Foreword
This essay or analysis or whatever is based on some books, long observations and curiosity.
FIRST, lets go back on what is a Context? In the previous post Witchdoctor stated that any context has no ontological foundation. It is man made and the man has no scientific ontological foundation as a defined everlasting property, except that he is a jerk..
This essay tries to break the AI mainstream of artificial context, even if very well documented. The boundary conditions , dominants and sub-dominants matter. So, here we are going to explore the boundary conditions based on Family as a building brick of the whole supra structure of society.. Family types, structures, etc. In this case , apart for long life observations, WD has taken into account two approaches, Friedrich Engels on the origin of family and lineages of modernity by Emmanuel Todd. Witchdoctor used AI, too. At the first glance the AI was pretty good but at the end it was Absolutely misleading. SO you know what will became of you after using it- a misleading jerk , maybe able to be descriptive in the way of not to be boring or just a parrot jerk after 3 minutes..
Now, what comes is a speculation, based on the Witchdoctor method of beating around the bush. Ok, you think this method is a joke, but it is the only method available to a human since ontology is non existent and the rest is phenomenology..
The outcome here is hopefully better than a moussaka and even better than a Sicilian millefoglie sweet. Comparing the conclusions to a moussaka is absolutely necessary, since the whole system is a multilayered double bind loop with a lot of complications between layers and a lot of completely whimsical historical solutions the humans adopted which at the end make the famous heteronomy of consequences… And the Family types were born!
Family = Property (plus Capital), Power, Division of labor, Kinship network and social network, Influence, = Wealth and structure
This formula is a rough Witchdoctor concoction. But it works fine. It is a sort of common denominator between Engels and Todd leaving the famous what comes first, the chicken or egg, family or economy, since you know that the phenomena have a conditioned origination and so eggs are for frying.
To prove it, in the 21st century, lets make a thought experiment.
If most of the above components or boundary conditions are missing then what type of family we get? At the beginning of the process of dispossession, meaning losing above components, we get a nuclear family. Struggling a lot. Then since nothing , except love, is tying together the two, family dissolves first in more loose connection and then in absolutely passing and extemporary commitment. Without children even more so. If the rents are high two people at the beginning get together to be able to pay for a roof, then more people get together and the network of classical family becomes expanded into loose connections between participants. We are witnessing the final fragmentation of the classic family types in the 21st century. Nothing ties a couple together for long time, no property, power structure inside the couple , division of labor inside the couple – there is deliveroo for that, no kinship as a social net, no lasting influence , hey, except the everlasting love!
The Multinational corporations, summed up in the Black rock, Vanguard or State street are the only agents which regulate the population. AI will do the rest.
A flock is thus created, or a cattle to be governed…
So, was Todd right or wrong is inconclusive but the boundaries why a person makes a family without the property, power, division of labor between family members in any hierarchical order, kinship and consequent influence – endogamous or exogamous – within the family or outside the family as a social projection on the outside- is GONE. All this is gone, family included or maybe only as a temporary solution or if the participants in the family still have some common interest for a while or some exogamous influence which helps them gaining wealth and status in society even if other components are missing..
So a fluid , loose network of changing situations takes place. The “classical family types” on which was based the Adam Smith, Stuart Mill, Weberian economy or even Milton Fiedman is gone.
So this is a proof of how family types are tied arms and legs to this conditions stated by Witchdoctor..
This fragmentation into pure individuals with loose temporary ties is in front of us, look at the social networks slowly showing the classic erosion of family. There is no family, there is only a network and then even the network will be governed by AI. Ai is very good at creating networks, fake or not, who cares, there is no ontology to prevent it.
The rising number of single mothers with children and not the opposite- single fathers with children shows the fragmentation and also the biological division. Mother is always feeling more attached to a child than the free floating father.
Which constitutes a Male problem of his place in the society which can turn into some machist dream of Power… The family is a male lost wet dream.
Witchdoctor is getting preoccupied as a male…
In this scenario in which the classic families are breaking because of constant pauperization – material austerity which erodes the boundary conditions of the family which has a purpose of transmitting wealth and kinship in a social network, we see the next stage of Capitalism, resembling AS Yanis Varufakis states- the technofeudalism.
Since in the classic mechanics every action has a reaction, the populist fascistoid manipulators sized this current moment of transition and are building up a regressive stupidity of going back to the roots. Their technofeudal Masters know this is impossible in this stage of capitalism because it is a monopolistic tendency, but the population witnessing this pretty heavy transition even for Witchdoctor taste and beliefs, is falling into THE LAST TRAP . So they want to revert this process of disgregation and fragmentation caused by the austerity for the masses (the EU case and the Global trend) and loss of structure reflecting in the family structures.
The Problem is that they KNOW that this can be reversed only by prohibiting certan social practices. In the meantime the historic flow of the necessity called Capitalism goes in opposite direction but this is TABU talk. So they hunt the LGBTQ, or whatever they think it is injuring the classic family structures. So, by writing prohibition laws they think they will make FAMILY GREAT AGAIN. Certainly with the True Religion! Which is another factor or side building brick as a soft or not so much soft power of Social Family Structure given by God in a form of a Book. SHARIA TOOKS OVER in the west as in the east.. And it is deadly, see Afghanistan or Iran, or Israel…
On the other hand, the globalist are taking all this for granted and their talk about the Techno Overlords is only a misery porn of the globalist serfs. Which both sides are- globalist serfs manipulating the idiot masses hiding the TABU talk of the debt driven economy monopoly concentration while talking opposite soft power BOLLOCKS. In the meantime the train keeps running…
As Todd points out, Family is always constituted on the basis of “US” and “Them” , So are the Nations, there will be no Germans if there were no Slavs and viceversa and all similar US and Them , resulting in a HUNT of the Migrants, or Blacks or you name anybody different than “US”!
In the part2 Witchdoctor will take Slovenia as a case study. The place is a sort of crossroads of different family and social types of systems, autoctone and exogamos influences mingle into a hybrid moussaka, not millefoglie, they are far from this mastery, but they are being overrun by different overlords up to today, and by inventing some of their own, they are fun as a case.
For the beginning, in historic perspective Witchlady’s grandmother lived his life in Austrohungarian empire, fascist Italy, Kingdom of Yugoslavia, German Nazi Occupation, Socialist Yugoslavia and finally in Sovereign Slovenia and, last but not least, Under the EU rule. More of a moussaka as this, one can hardly live. Not to mention that she was always a Slovenian, regardless of this systems which came and went!
Coming….. a complicated family structures grafted on a lot of influences and making a strange economy and contradictions leading into a cul de sac of the 21st century.
