This was a huge realization when you reach the Umbrella Position of Society. The Umbrella Position is where you are standing outside of the System and you are all the way Zoomed out to see all of it in its entirety… The Big Picture.
Society is one big conglomerate of Sequences and Chain Reactions upon Sequences of Chain Reactions.
Businesses are small Sequences. Government is Big Sequences. A Family is a tiny Sequence. The Whole of Society is a Vast Sequence.
“Slipping in the Crack” is actually a Catch-22 of Society that someone created when they used flawed Logic.
This is the “Not It” that two Businesses play together. This is the “You need X to do Y, and you need Y to do X.”
Now life runs smooth inside the Mainstream of The System because most of the “bugs” (Catch-22’s) have been found and fixed. But the more you move outside of Mainstream, the “Bugs” get bigger and bigger and more complicated…
Which is why, if you are going to get out of the System you need to:
- 1 – Keep a level head
- 2 – Manage your Stress and Emotions
- 3 – Be able to recognize and Solve Catch-22’s
Rule #1, if something is complicated, that is your first sign to “shop around” for an Alternative who has the Simple solution. Because “Complicated” is the first sign that you are dealing with someone who has not “worked out the Bugs.”
A great example of this is when I went to go open a Business Bank Account.
Bank “A” wanted 4 types of Certification and ID’s, Registrations, and Documentation, which I hadn’t even heard of and my EIN was not acceptable.
Bank “B” just wanted my EIN, and was able to locate my Business Information without it.
Bank “A” had me jumping through 4 Additional Hoops that required an Accountant.
Bank “B” took my EIN over the phone and got it done.
Guess what. I went with Bank “B.” As soon as it is complicated or difficult, boycott the Difficult route and shop around. Complicated means they are not educated enough to build a Business without Flaws in their Sequence.
Do Not Argue with Catch-22’s
This is the biggest flaw I see with people. Navigating Society is like a maze. A poorly built maze. You will hit a “dead end” where they will say, “If you want X, then you need Y.” And you will say, “But I can’t get Y unless I have X.” And they will repeat, “If you want X, then you need Y.”
Stop. Abandon Ship. You have hit a Societal “dead end.”
If the people who run our Society had half a brain, they would have Logicians who do nothing, but identify and fix these Catch-22’s. But they don’t.
You are on your own.
To argue is to apply Rational to the Irrational. This is not possible. When you hit a Catch-22, you cannot Rationalize it and — always — the people you are talking to are to ignorant to even recognize that they are in a Catch-22. They are not helpful.
This means you:
- Have to be able to recognize when your Discussion has fallen into a Catch-22 that has you cycling back and forth in the “If X then Y / If Y then X” Loop.
- Have to get out of it and end it.
- Have to Solve the Catch-22 and they will not help you. They are Mindless, repetitive Cogs in the Societal Machine.
Which means you have to keep Emotionally calm and Logically Alert.
Here, we teach you how to break a Catch-22. You need to create and add an Independent If/Then Clause to the situation to Solve the Catch-22.
In most cases, this will require you to think outside of the box (Imagination) and you will need to Educate yourself and learn to solve.
Always call and ask around.
In the situation of Bank “A” vs. Bank “B,” I decided to call Accountants to ask them for solutions and also to call other banks.
“What if they complicated it?”
“What if their Bank Policy is not like other Bank Policies?”
Call Around. And that is how I found Bank “B,” which was Educated enough to build a Bank Policy without a Catch-22.
A Catch-22 is the first sign that you are dealing with an Ignorant or Uneducated Company or Business that was built by someone incompetent in basic Sequence Construction.
