You have the chance every single day to be exceptional. What does exceptional entail? Surely it means serving the electorate by freeing it from the bondage of things that don’t work and giving our South African Society wings with which it can fly a new way of existence that would be an example to the world?

The situation right now:

We are certainly not an example to the world right now.  The book of inventions does not really even feature South Africa.  We are consumers of what the rest of the world does.  We simply play this out worse than they do.  There are so many stats out there that confirm this reality. Look where we are with regards to murders per capita per day, private spend on personal security as a percentage of earnings, earnings per capita, earning discrepancies between the high and the low, our tax base as a percentage of the total inhabitants, our levels of education, unemployment percentage, the degradation of water quality, the massive increase in syndicates and mafia type operations that run freely without fear, illegal immigrants riding on our infrastructure without contributing to it, collapsing road, rail, water and electricity infrastructure to name a few, levels of corruption, percentage of Municipalities getting clean audits versus those without, and so much more. What more does one need to see to convince one that the situation for your citizens in not exceptional?

We do have a relatively harmonious daily existence compared to Ukraine, Gaza, Congo and other such war-torn places.  We live in some ways openly and warmly with each other outside of what some of the press puts forward in order to sell their publications.  We also have citizens that get on with life despite the ball and chains being promoted by you lot.  Kudos to us.

Examples of GNU logic being applied that does not work:

Using laws to legislate morality.  In 2025 AD, this is a ridiculous idea.  Moses did this with the Ten Commandments millennia ago and before people had sufficient capacity to exist without this.  We have by now developed to a point where we know that we must take upon ourselves the challenge of our individual orientation to morality.  Have you worked this out yet Mr President?  Is it just a convenient tool of manipulation that you desperately need to control your populous because you simply don’t have the imagination and creativity required to inspire your people?  If you have to use laws to legislate morality, like how to see another person as a person and not a colour, a race, a religion, where does the correct point of view originate?  You think it is the ANC, the DA think it is the West.  Both views are arrogant in the extreme.  Both of these views assume that we don’t have a conscience as individuals.  What insane arrogance to put yourselves before the Creator who has allowed us the capacity of conscience.  Take this on yourselves and notch it firmly to your personal destinies that seem to be assured of great burdens.  Your efforts are like trying to bottle a fire for sale to others.  It is impossible and stupid in the extreme.  Laws are of course necessary, but where they are used to legislate morality, the line has been crossed.  I will come to the alternatives once these insanities have been clearly exposed.

How can any rational person with even the slightest sense of their own conscience legislate rights to some and not to others based on their ethnicity? My understanding of such a stance would be that the people doing this are afraid, and or ignorant, of their own ability to lead from a moral ground.  Rather, they need votes that would give them power to abuse others and benefit themselves while they simply incapacitate anything that works socially because they simply don’t see anything in terms of morality or conscience.  To them this reality does not exist.  To them, they are operating on the premise that people need the ANC’s/GNU’s incapacity to legislate more incapacity.  No wings are likely to come from this insanity.

State owned enterprises (SOE’s) run by people with the same false paradigms as noted above is more of the same.  Let’s wreck things that were once working, or rather, let’s use katrillions on finding out again that this cannot work.  Businesses are seeded by human beings only. They don’t grow from seeds like other living things. Anyone who has been a successful business leader knows that businesses need to be ‘seeded’ every day, hour and minute.  This means that they need continuous vision, competence and care.  They simply don’t work otherwise; they decompose if this ‘seeding’ is not given to them by human beings.  They are not engines that run on fuel.  Any business that runs off rights given to them in law are never going to need this ‘seeding’ element because when one obtains rights to certain markets or resources in this way, there is no requirement for relevance or efficiency.  When these requirements are not there, there is no need for vision, competence or care; the human element of ‘seeding’ is absent and the only consequence of this is that weeds grow and things decay. Human beings are exceptional in this way, they are forces of ‘seeding’ society as a whole.  Outside of human society what remains is nature.  It is nature that returns when the human element is tied in knots by ignorance and denial of the reality of human conscience.

Finally, under this section, interference in education of citizens by any politically oriented people is the death knell of any future of that society.  Would you rather have people educated to vote for your human incapacities, or have people educated to have a sense of their morality and if you wanted a society with seeding capacity.  Only an impoverished mind and heart would want the prior.  It appears that you are all part of this disastrous lack of conscience.

And for the record, the effects of these idiocies become visible as reality globally.  People all over the world are free beings. They don’t like being treated like second rate meat or voting tokens.  Why not let us be better?

Things that do work:

The small taxpayer base of South Africa works incredibly hard and effectively despite the handcuffs placed on their ability to trade with vision, competence and care.  I give you all kudos my fellow contributors that have not emigrated and stay on despite the constrained environment.  Then there is the infrastructure inherited in 1994 that has stood the test of time, without sufficient vision, competence and care.  It is the rock on which so much is built that facilitates the Society of South Africa.  Our tax collecting system is another function that works, not surprising though.  There are also pockets of excellence, like Rassie and the Springboks, the Gautrain, and our financial minds. There are more of course, mainly the roads in the Western Cape despite the efforts of the ANC to legislate incompetence into this area also.  I am not trying to have a go at the ANC, but they own so much of this insanity that they give many examples so easily.  They don’t have to maintain this way of orientation to Society either.  They also have the chance to be remarkable.  They can also orient themselves to human conscience and morality.  This is not illegal.  The trolley operators are examples of people that have taken ownership of their lives.  They should be given the structure that they need to be able to link more easily to the formal economy.

 Where answers for ‘freeing’ come from:

They come essentially from a desire to serve.  They come from an orientation that places higher human qualities at the centre of policies.  This means freeing education from political interference.  It means looking at releasing people from the burdens of being judged based on their ethnicity.  It means facilitating rather than regulating.  It means making playing fields level, not asking some to always play uphill while the favoured play downhill.  It means controlling tax collections and having these distributed to where the objective national needs are, not to privilege, or interest groups, or to settle political scores that benefit only the elite.  The arts are required to awake us all to our morality and conscience.  They need support that they can bank on, as little as this might be.  These people are industrious no matter what.

A good citizen’s next steps:

The GNU and the parties outside of this, are lost and without the insights required to give South African Society wings, and in so doing, becoming an example to the world.  (The world out there also ignores the inherent human qualities of conscience and morality as the whispering voices of change that we need to listen to.)  Let’s be, continue being, those that take up this challenge ourselves and stick to what we are doing so well in ‘seeding’ a future for us and our future society.  Know that you are living in the clasp of the incapacitating stupidity of those in power.  Wish only that they begin to see and hear within themselves their own true nature which includes their conscience.  While they attempt to legislate our morality from the base of their immorality, let’s simply acknowledge this and become what is needed in the world today.  What is needed is that we listen to our own inner conscience which comes from a place that knows a lot more than ignorant conscience denying destroyers.  They cannot ever overcome what lives in every person as conscience.  Let them feel their own and then join us in making a place freer and fairer than we have today. It can be done.
