Josh Plovanic's Writings and Thoughts

In all of Reality and its vastness and complexity, there is one primary relationship that is quite simple, yet forms one of the core paradigms within reality. It is the relationship between the projection of information and the reception of information. The relationship between consciousness and the unconscious information that it intakes, processes, analyzes, utilizes, and alters. The existence of both parties is interdependent on the other's existence. If one does not exist, then for all intents and purposes neither does the other. If the receiver of information is not present, then nothing would be aware of what is projected from the physical reality that exists separately from it, and since nothing is aware of it, it doesn't exist de facto, i.e. it doesn't exist to any consciousness involved. If the receiver exists but the projector doesn't, then the consciousness that was supposed to be receiving information would have no information to receive, and as a result wo

            In the American society, like many major societies in the world, there is an arrangement made between the Government and the people where social programs and initiatives are developed to aid the poor, increase quality of life, and aid in fostering public health, recreation, and productivity. The great debate in society is how this arrangement is made and carried out.

This kind of arrangement by default requires an expansive and far reaching government. It is a good idea to an extent. In the past such policies have led to prosperity in many classes

It is an inescapable fact of being human that we have conflict. We fight over a great many things. Conflict is something that resounds not only in the household bickering many of us have experienced, but it resounds in the very fabric of our nature, our history, and our societies. We see fighting in sports, in homes, in our streets, and in our schools. Whether it is siblings squabbling over what toy they get to play with, or an all out invasion of another country by our armed forces, fighting is part of life. The question remains; why do we fight? There are many answers, and many complicated ones at that, but I am a believer that the root cause of conflict is lack. Lack as in an absence or void of something wanted or needed by someone or some group. Here is why. When you lack something, there is a strong urge to go fill this absence that is present in your life. For example, lets say you wanted to play with a toy as a kid, but your brother or sister wouldn't let you. This lack
