<<  This piece seems to tie well to our piece of time and energy, buyers and sellers of, http://socialphysicsinstitute.blogspot.gr/2013/07/work-energy-time-buyers-and-sellers-of.html
Time is a physical parameter to just about anything in the universe that is non-static, which means everything.  Life is bound by time at a level different than the one individually perceived, but definitely not endless, or startless.  As long as people are preoccupied with prescribed activities they are easily controlled and dominated by those that set the rules of the activities.  Only if they were to occupy the rules can they alter their activities.  Collectively they may be able, if they organize well, to take control of the rule making process.  But they have to take the initial time off to do so.  Usually only those that can afford this luxury would experience this joy.  But they are also the same who are least likely to change the rules.
"“Freedom is participation in assemblies, the ability to discuss and then decide. It is a collective freedom that we conquer. We decide about our way of life. Nobody thinks for us. The collective governance thinks but does not decide for us. The supreme authority is the assembly."

Debating with an expert - Zygmunt Bauman

"And that all suggestions of scientists and experts possessing such (future-prediction) powers thanks to their professional training are in my view fraudulent!"

Although I read the second part first (Escaping Inside Utopia) and then started reading this first part, second, I couldn't move past this sentence without reacting and commenting.
I can predict right now, based on available data and prediction modeling based on research methodology of which statistics is a tool, that as I write this, it is dark and later it will be bright and the sun will rise from the East.  I claim to be neither a scientist nor an expert, but I challenge ZB to call me fraudulent within the next 24hr unless he is currently living in the Antarctic, in which case the sun will only come up late September.  An other prediction of the future.

The suicidal organism and the cells

A response to an article by Nilesh Chatterjee & Dharmendra Singh from http://essayist.in/2013/07/playing-hot-potato-with-mother-nature  also reproduced here as http://socialphysicsinstitute.blogspot.gr/2013/07/playing-hot-potato-pass-parcel-with.html

Through the training in the "individual sciences", medicine and psychology in specific, one may fail to see the forest past the trees.  This training focuses on the individual, its behavior, its development, its health, its illness, its death.  If humanity was viewed as an organism, we are unsure of when it was born/created/transformed, but it is an organism that has survived on earth for many long years, centuries, millenniums. Unlike some other organisms that were born and died, like the mammoth, the dinosaur, etc. (how is our Panda doing today? feeling a little dizzy? it must be a side effect of the life support system!), the human organism has grown, concurred, and dominated the earth and all other organisms, except a few, HIV for a example.

It may be close, or past the point of sustainable growth and domination and it will need to readopt to survive.  This can not be done by individual training, behavior modification, influence, sensitivity, or brutal force.  If it is done partially and not in totality it would be like cancer, where some cells seem to have different programming than the rest.  Cells are born, live and die to maintain the organism.  They must have a common programming for the organism to survive.  Either an external force to the organism must alter its genetic encoding, or the organism must be forced to realize its discomfort, its pain, its  threat, and adopt to the environment to survive.  Unless, the majority of the cells can realize this urgent need, turn against the few cells and organs that drive the problem of maintaining humanity's path, and in an organized manner KILL or AMPUTATE the organs and cells that are not willing to adopt.
