You've just settled down in a theatre to solve an audience-participation murder mystery. The narrator comes out and gives you a few "ins and outs" on what to look for in the play. The show starts and you meet Fat Daddy, a rich but vindictive southern gentleman with an equally conniving and scheming family. So you know who's going to die, right? But who will the murderer be? Will it be Sweet Mama, Daddy's pandering wife; Hyacinth, the daughter who's always cleaning the family firearms; Earl the worm, or his overly amorous wife, Savannah; or Clete, the sullen handyman who, for some reason, is in the will? Then Fat Daddy is discovered, dead as a hammer. Except the corpse isn't Daddy's it's the narrator's! The director comes on stage and the police arrive. Now you have to figure out which of the actors murdered the narrator. And not only are you questioning the cast, but they are questioning you! Yes, you are a suspect as well! This frantic mystery-comedy will have audiences guessing until the last clue is dropped and the last ham overacts. -- Publisher.
Is the human society fair and fulfilling, as you learn in school, or it is harmful, with corrupt politicians, financial cartels, and major conspiracies spanning the world as you always notice? Both are the case, yet the human society improves gradually, despite of all corruption in the news, only that the media tends to highlight politicians in order to capture the masses, or you never watch the news. Because it is always a show, even in the news, while everybody is happy. But is society actually corrupt and harmful? The human society has always been exploitive, yet people tend to interact in any manner in the world, more or less humane, while it is meaningful to distinguish your own influence, exactly as it is. Would you like to learn the truth about the human society? Then study yourself and those around very well, since society is the direct interconnectivity of all human beings, with you in it. Therefore, you are the one defining society directly, at least in everything regarding you, and this is the case with everyone else. While everybody is relatively good intentioned in society, since we are very similar through our human nature and through all natural, living needs and meanings that we fulfill. Because humanity is never divided into the good and the bad, since everybody is good by having similar natural needs and meanings, only that people can become more exploitive while fulfilling consensual needs, as these make them be whatever their superiors, jurisdictions, and ideologies desire, stepping in this manner outside the actual human nature. And this is bad, since this is exactly how humans become unhuman, with all dreadful consequences manifesting in the world. Because humans fulfill mostly consensual needs, as orders and duties coming from above, but not their own, human needs, as everyone should. While this ends up defining the human society the most, changing it altogether into a social machine meant for profit and exploitation, and it should never be the case in a human world. Because there are two human societies to consider, the natural, intelligent human society that everyone seeks to have and maintain through their own living, natural needs and feelings, and the consensual society actually instated in the world, regardless if you want it or not. Throughout this book, we study how life and living human beings gather naturally to form classes of life and living societies meant to make life better, safer, meaningful, and therefore fulfilling. We also understand the current human society in its consensual structure and characteristics, in all aspects and from all perspectives. Furthermore, we identify and understand the various modes of society that life and the environment may demand, as we recognize what is meaningful among orders, agendas, and conspiracies already implemented or threatening to take place in the world, who the main social actors are, and how determined they remain in everything that they do in the human society. This helps you understand your own meaning in life, in society, and in the world, while understanding how your meaning is enhanced or altered by your own behavior and interconnectivity in life and in the world. If you seek to uncover and understand the human society exactly as it is and as it should be, this book is for you.
