 Time is obviously the most fundamental and essential component to historicist thinking and expectation on a future which is becoming. The human mind has expectations about the future by default, regardless of any ideological indoctrination or mastery of technical skill. It sees expected events which come to pass and become realized, considers that things which have not yet occurred as being things which have not yet come to pass, with time still coming which retains the possibility of things still coming to be. It reflects on past events to consider how they are best understood today, and how their occurrence may have affected to trajectory of time which bring us to a current point in existence. To make any historical reference necessarily causes one to conceptualize the path of history as being a world line the dynamics of which are the reality that we experience. Lastly, from historical contemplation and dwelling on the past, we can come to question whether the path of history could have differed from what has occurred, and whether there is a difference between the legitimacy of a world where something which should come to be will come to be, and one where it will not.

 Something especially crucial to highlight amongst the set components essential to human experience is that the capacity for abstraction and speculation combined with the knowledge of death fulfills the requirements sufficient to allow one to come to believe that death can be evaded.

 ### Freirean Paradox
 
-Donaldo Macedo, who wrote the introduction to Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed, mentioned Freire's "courage to denounce in order to announce" when describing Paulo Freire as a forever-present force that keeps alive our understanding of history as possibility. This is because Macedo understands, or at least has a natural sense to grasp that Freire's methodology rests entirely upon negation. Like the Critical theorists and the Queer theorists, edification isn't sought, but expected as a consequence of negation. Select a target for destruction and the resultant system becomes what one has proclaimed.

+> "To deny the word implies something more: It implies the denial of the right to "proclaim the world". Thus, to "say a word" does not mean merely repeating any word. Indeed, such repetition constitutes one of the sophisms of reactionary literacy practice." - Paulo Freire (The Politics of Education)
+
+Though it sounds as though the comparison between a word having been enunciated and the absence of that word is itself some form of edification the difference between nothing and something, and thus the creation or edification of a word, the key is that it has to be done such as to not be repeating a word. That is to say, to not say it with the unconscious meaning otherwise associated with it, which as normal repetition is simply a reactionary activity with corresponding political effect, but instead negating our understanding of that word and replacing it with the meaning the learner becoming literate. Since the learner is illiterate in the sense of knowing how to harness the means of politically liberating themselves, they will now use the word to proclaim a liberated word through having negated the understanding of language which does not lea to that liberation. This removes the neutral or objective understanding of the target term and replaces it with the demand for revolution.
 
 All of the woke assertions for power are made on the basis of assuming reality cannot be described within the terms of our world as currently conceived, as systems of oppression pollute the presentation of information and cause the formality of knowledge to be composed in such a way as to prioritize the maintenance and reproduction of the current system. The denying of the system, its knowledge, and the very notion of its literacy being legitimate implies there could be a better system. But first the current system must be continuously reordered to make cognition of the correct system even possible.

 ## Universalism and Transformationalism (rethink title)
 
-Universalism is in consideration of how things can be applied and considered for every human being (such as the presumption of their having a perceptual frame, equal opportunity, the capacity to use logic and reason, and the sovereignty of their personhood).
+*Individualism and Collectivism*
 
-Transformationalism concerns the rejection of the current construct, whether explicitly as society, the human body, reality, our understanding of knowledge, or that the conditions of world and society permit all humans to utilize logic and reason for pursuit of knowledge in much the same way as one another.
+Universalism is in consideration of how things can be applied and considered for every human being such as the presumption of their having a perceptual frame, equal opportunity, the capacity to use logic and reason, and the sovereignty of their personhood.
 
-Transformationalism also bears significance in the domain of understanding globalism for which critiques linking it to Neo-Malthusianism and Neo-Marxism already exist. Some of those critiques can be sought through [this resource](https://chatgpt.com/share/67944e32-3c94-8011-8764-fb70fc7b40f8).

Some of those critiques can be reviewed through [this resource](https://chatgpt.com/share/67944e32-3c94-8011-8764-fb70fc7b40f8).
 Paramount to universalism is one's own assumption that others could attain their knowledge, and that people are to be regarded as individuals because precisely anyone benefits from developing themselves.
 
 It's not necessarily that we expect everyone to "get it" and comprehend things in precisely the same way that we ourselves do, lest they be liars or cretins, but that we don't hold as a point of pride and virtue some notion that we are infallible, or uniquely superior through some mechanism which allows one a unique path to knowledge that others cannot attain.
 
 The expectation that others are able to attain your achievements and understanding is exactly what allows one to believe it possible for oneself to have attained good, better or even something approaching a veritable understanding of the world.
 
-If the construct of reality still seems unready for one to live their true life where all things are beholden to the state of existence, and you can feel accountable to yourself for your every moment, then there is a rift in the form of your imagined, elevated existence, be that as a God or a superman - be it only relatively so in the direction of a God. The important point to note is not that one does or does not attain God-level ability, or whether one explicitly believes in these terms, but that their attitude of dissatisfaction with the current construct intuitively gives reason to subdue one's sense of accountability, and the ambiguity of both the endpoint as well as the system-level entity of hegemony indicate that the implied requirement is tantamount to a supplantation of the construct in that whether it is an optimization, correction of the current system state, or its replacement by a completely alien state, in each case it is an entire rejection being changed to a complete acceptance (if only in theory).

 ## World Planning
 
-Since the issue having to be addressed is systemic and hegemonic, there is no set scope of analysis (as a final constraint). That is, even if a critique is wagered against some particular enumerated system, the scope is liable to change indefinitely until such time that no criticism can be wagered. This is obviously because no specific infraction is being addressed but rather the experience of dissatisfaction and discontent itself, thus the prescription to address the ailment is aimed at creating a world where dissatisfaction becomes impossible.
+Normies interpret the prescriptions of a Critical pedagologically-informed educator, administrator or politician as identifying problems that may or may not be of the utmost importance, and find assurance in thinking "Well, at least this one issue is being identified and addressed. It can be solved and, then, on to the next!". But, as the issue having to be addressed is systemic, lower level analyses are never necessary, and can never serve as highlighting the difference leading to success. There are no final constraints except liberation itself.

-This world making has already been formalized by the UN, who have as part of their ridiculous repertoire, and not even as a contribution by short-lived inconsequential members, but by the Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations, who enjoyed a 40 year career with the organization, as the task of mankind as inducing and guiding the transformation of the planet through planetary evolution, aka planetics, which is a practice in cosmology and metaphysics.

 ### Reactionary Woke
-Elements to maintain flourishing society tangled in political divide/ideology. Need to free them from mental traps by teaching that political affiliation is not identity.
 
-Thriving people can help others. The potential for genius -> with people developed, we actually can make life a better, rather than promise better life and it takes away your agency.
+A lot of people were rubbed the wrong way when suddenly confronted with the term "Woke Right" on social media, in podcasts involving James Lindsay (or in ones where he is being mentioned), and at events involving political parties associated as being conservative or right-leaning. No doubt, everyone has been sick of the term "Woke" for years now and seeing an effort to revive it in an altered context is something that understandably causes some apprehension and even revulsion. In spite of all that, it appears that the term has stuck around for longer than many had anticipated, has become intelligible for many, and is still being rejected explicitly by many who, nevertheless, continue to talk about it, which has been puzzling for many, and even myself when I hadn't spent enough time thinking about it.
+
+The truth of how I feel about the notion of "woke right" is easily read based on the positions I've taken in this book. The human tendency to imagine a collectivist solution or a collectivist nature is not something that is isolated to "left" or "right" politics.
+
+As has been detailed before, the very prospect of believing that a correctly composed collective will bring about the desirable changes by virtue of its construction is the projection of self as a belief in a shared state of consciousness. This extension of self creates the path of liberated ground towards a higher level of existence to which the current realm of existence appears as a limited form in which one is imprisoned. To suspect this is one's awakened status and that this is believed to be knowable is the modern gnostic disposition. This is synonymous with being "woke".
+
+While humans rigidly connect their belief about themselves with a partisan disposition under a suspicion that this maintains their congruence and suitability to community, the elements to allow for and maintain a flourishing society become tangled in the political divide. Helping people understand the manner in which all collectivist thinking brings out the worst in us is crucial to extinguishing the engine of totalitarianism necessarily empowered by the development of technology in human society.

 ### Indigeneity
-We have touched upon this subject earlier, but the terms bring on a whole new meaning in the context of Israel and Palestine.
 
-Many of us became interested in the anti-war movement in the wake of 9/11 as we became deeply skeptical of US imperialism and the military industrial complex following activist campaigns which appeared to originate from the "liberal" left, enhanced by such high profile and broadly disseminated work such as Farenheit 9/11 by Michael Moore, other Hollywood movies (later) and even documentaries that were critical of Israel's policies concerning Gaza as they relate to the conditions of civilians, settlements, and violence including the crushing to death of activist Rachel Corrie by a bulldozer.
+Indigeneity is touched upon in the context of North American Indian people, and while the fundamental ideas and the issue with considering it as a concept that can be legitimately used remain the same, the terms bring on a some new meaning at the level of aesthetic and culture when considering Israel and Palestine.
 
-I can't speak for others, but I have found a rather sizeable contingent who shared the sentiments I had in maintaining skepticism about the US' military exploits, and a belief (no longer so simply held) that life would be better for everyone if much of the military budget were redirected towards social services so there would be less poverty and disparity at home and in the west in general.
+May of us became interested in the anti-war movement in the wake of 9/11 as we became deeply skeptical of US imperialism and the military industrial complex following activist campaigns which appeared to originate from the "liberal" left, including filmmaker Michael Moore whose work on Farenheit 9/11 had him being published in the mainstream and even documentaries that were critical of Israel's policies concerning Gaza as they relate to the conditions of civilians, settlements, and violence including the crushing to death of activist Rachel Corrie by a bulldozer. There was also a lot more skepticism in general, at least for 2 decades or so (and perhaps peaking after 1 decade) which led to a general questioning of the right-leaning leadership of the time, which may be well-represented through the use of the term "Neocon". Even if people believed the events of 9/11 as generally being correctly expressed in popular media, many wanted to believe lies were told, poor decisions were made, potent opportunities were seized, and that it was all done to an extent that was detrimental for the west and the world in whole.
 
-Through the formation of such a world view, I came upon argumentation conceiving the repurposing of land previously inhabited by Palestinian Muslims for use by Jewish settlers, but this was always preselected under the context of "these were the previous legitimate peoples of these lands" or "these were the last rightful and peaceful occupants of the land which is how they came into the land, what they did with the land and, most importantly, what identity class the cult / party / state / designates themselves so that we may process our understanding of all historical events pertaining to them based on an approach to creating the future where there will be no differentiation between these and any other category (or at least, between Muslims and Jews in the area currently referred to as Israel); we must collapse categories through negation induced by the power of history. This means that no matter what history is recorded, or what experience is recounted by whatever actual living human being, those who set the theory and implicitly indicate the algorithm get to control the meaning and existence of those humans as will be enforced by whatever state or organization which decides to allow for the theorizing humans to be recognized.

+Through the formation of such a world view, I came upon argumentation conceiving the repurposing of land previously inhabited by Palestinian Muslims for use by Jewish settlers. A lot of these arguments would go on to allege that a genetic analysis of current-day Israelis in comparison to that of Palestinians would reveal that it was in fact the Palestinians whose genetic lineage most coincided with those of the inhabitants of Israel thousands of years ago. These perspectives always included points selected in the context of "these were the previous legitimate peoples of these lands" or "these were the last rightful and peaceful occupants of the land", which generally goes hand-in-hand with the suggestion that they lived communally, free of conflict with other tribes, or that they employed "sustainable agricultural practices". This is, again, in keeping with the trope of the harmonious being that is more legitimate because of it expressing some divine connection with nature or special consciousness which, when allowed to exist without oppression, harmonizes the world and flourishes in a way which moves us to world transcendence.

+Rhetoric which sees the plight of Palestinians as an extension of the revolution towards total salvation is always concerned with framing what they did with the land and historical identity.

This means that no matter what history is recorded, or what experience is recounted by whatever actual living human being, those who insist upon the theory get to control the meaning.
 
 ### But It Doesn't Matter (Indigeneity)
-Of course, a declaration of Indigeneity both without the intention to consolidate the infinite regress and without the capability of making the necessary observations to validate such a consolidation are meaningless in the face of re-establishing land designation, even to produce the best argument for it, which will ultimately remain futile as the logical consequence would be to assert where every human should be born or what materials are valid in the context of what human being may exist where and what human may be permitted to procreate.

Indeed, we already understand that edifying such implements in society is always a means for power, but we're trying to understand the manner of thought and where inevitably leads. In examining the futility of the best argument for it, we see that when it is taken to its logical conclusion we must assert where every human should be born or what materials are valid in the context of what human being may exist where and whether it can be permitted to propagate its likeness through procreation.
