Majority-Minority Ire: A Lesson in Group Sociology
You know what they say? "You better not...... Else I take a key on you". Apparently, a very common threat in an over-populous society with rampant injustice that induces people to grimace at each other for merely being around, and sue if they rub shoulders. Almost, except that they sue for balancing damages - not a lump sum, but for all future time..... and not in Courts, but socially, leaning on their Status within a social hierarchy. Yeah, the same hierarchy that tells me in so many different ways that I fell short of royalty, albeit as a Minority - something I'd gladly accept but for what was ingrained into me by parents!
But this is no biography. I seek to highlight the frictions from diversity within a competitive society. Excusing a modicum of vice and slavery that seems necessary to grasp the future of a large group, even control and '3D-print it' it (don't tell me it's a balancing resolution against the PV-Monetization of future profits in the Nominal capital markets), 'we the people', euphemism for the Majority, exploit their Social dominance and hierarchy to proactively seek out pareto opportunities in various dimensions: personal- life and family-, commercial, academic, professional, residential, opportunities abroad... you name it. Think of it.... the opportunity and the power to exploit the 'key'- the yet nebulous group future, 'populate' it as privately-or group-optimal with the rest of the society; the facility to hedge and arrange events cooperatively within a large Majority group so you know when to act, what to seek where, associate with whom and keep distance from whom others! In other words, plan ahead with the rest of the society, and things fall into place. No surprises! Very, very powerful paradigm. Pervasive too, but not all that evident - whether in print, online or as they would they, enligne! So..... Why this blog?
Well, Several thoughts. First, if this system had been in place for ages, how come its not talked about in formal media and contexts? If socially beneficial, why not adopted by students, not just the Majority, who are trained at schools to optimize as a cohort? Second, shouldn't it be more public and widespread in this age of globalization, globalised workforce, internet and global IT-connectivity and socialization? But most significantly from my perspective, what does the paradigm imply for the Minority? Minority, whether by history, by economic immigration, inter-jurisdictional transfers and assignments by the employer-whether government - federal or foreign, or Business, or those seeking their futures through the academia. Those who, no matter where, what language, or origins, in a society riven by economic inequalities of opportunity and which glamorizes social tensions over the media, must play second fiddle to the Majority so as not to raise the ire of the less-understanding crowd prone to political, religious and social provocations. Those who, and despite reservations, must settle what is left of political-, academic and business- opportunities - the Minority political niches, the anything-but-frontier science and technology opportunities if tomorrow, and the dirty and the informal 'bijnez' that stereotypes them across generations as the environmental Satans. What could be the implications when 95 of the society apply a Group pareto that operates in zero-sum against the Minority 5? Like what? Like Gods who are Majority enforcers even when it comes to matters health-slough, sexual, and private beyond sexual. Like when you can't walk in and out of a library having, unintentionally, got the better of a local majority library user! Like not having the privacy to talk, even underground, matters property, business strategy, or intergenerational family decisions. Like shouldn't those in our digits, be as meek to voluntarily accept an ignominious Majority Announce so we may ride roughshod over them into glorious Status? Like... Like...End Like E!
But isn't there a way out? A credible alternative that permits minorities and immigrants to live honorably as neighbors, if not 'conjugally' as members of the same society? Ask around, and they'll tell you there is even a Majority-Minority pareto. Pareto? But the only pareto that I came across forced us into a small hole -- the 'Majority Local ZS', de facto enforced on the Minority - aka fratricide! My point is, that when the 95 write a pareto future for themselves... and execute it with Majority privileges, the other 5 are left with no choice. No choice in matters as important as School, Hospital services, 'sustainable' far less the coveted frontier Career opportunities. And less than do..., err.....dignified customer service when it comes to certain utility, property-related and essential services.
And while on the matter, the 'Insignificant 5' do not deserve a 'Majority-Enforce' on their sphere of activities and opportunities? Or monitoring and supervision that extends all the way from their office to the toilet back home - almost as if the oppressor were an enemy resident within? And surely, the Majority has its acclaimed Philosophers, Gurus, Academics, Executives, Political and Social Leaders to not rely on such tactics as heaping dirt on the few to shine bright opposite them? In the globalised world of the present and the multi-cultural society that we all seek, surely we could adopt a more rational strategy? A strategy that breaks the ZS-jinx, by buffering a Rest-of-the-World, RoW, in betwixt the Majority and the Minority, an RoW that participates actively, if with a local Complement Group Presence, to resolve differences of Status, of niches, of alternative futures within polarized societies around the world, and ports differences away through - thanks the global reach of Social media - to distant land as Opportunity in anonymous or assigned pareto deals? On the bright side though, we Minorities have a lot to learn from the Group Pareto strategies of the Majority, and unlearn some of our internal squabbles and enmities.......
....Like 'minority-enforcing' on one their own, and -a foreign-returned, a marriage with 3 daughters in a society divided between orthodox Majority Oppression and Minority social pressures!
