Today the world is governed by "the administrative state" which means you must reset your mind to the dictates of those who currently rule you [see photo]. Before you begin your reset you might like to know that you have three choices based on social values : wokeness [America], collectivism [China], or deity [Iran]. Of course there are some crossovers between the woke and the deity when it comes to the uniformity of the former and the conformity of the latter. And there are also clashes between the guiding principles of the woke [America] and the collectivists [China]: the American woke seek to replace "the family" with universal government services meanwhile the CCP collectivists support family life.
What is the common cause for "the administrative state"? Perhaps this oft promoted mantra best explains where we are heading: you will own nothing and you will be happy. You will be forced to conform to administrative dictates through religion [Iran]; through a social credit system [China]; or through a corporate-media-government power chain [America]. I would like to suggest that if you live in one of these systems and you would prefer another then you should get up and move. BUT... that is not an easy task. Therefore for all intent-and-purpose you are trapped in the current version of "the administrative state" that rules you life. Which means that you must reset your mind in ways that enable you to truly conform with your rulers dictates or to successfully oppose them. Some will reset their mind to empower themselves as individuals and live just beyond the reach of the administrative state [for myself I have developed a unique version of minimalism but there are many more systems that will work just as well].
The administrative state is a feature of our world today and this means that "the collective mindset" will dominate "the individual mindset" wherever you reside. In the past... the way of life in many different cultures [America, Iran, and China] enabled individuals to thrive as robust entities but that is no longer the case. However... you can become an island of hope in an ocean of sameness, rule by the lowest common denominator, and crass conformity.
Good luck to you in your attempts to conform with, or to strongly resist, any particular version of "the administrative state".
Richard.
