The EO Twins Finite and Future just happen to now re-enter the picture. News of the pending breakup of the USA has both ultimately overly excited and hopeful, but with certain completely opposite reservations. Instantly, the new Spectrum Science grabs Future’s intrigue and then some. However, Finite is not as enthusiastic at first, and challenges whether it is some Fox News talking point, and simply needs to be dismissed as sexist and racist sight unseen. Especially the concept on how many hours there are in the week and that everyone equally gets 168. Besides, between Project 1619 and Critical Race Theory (CRT), as well as various media institutions like the New York Times and CNN, Finite already understood the way’s, what’s, and the “Back-end Why’s” the USA has always been and still to this day an unfair place to live in every way imaginable.
Quite the opposite reaction, Future, upon first seeing the Spectrum Science Summary Table discussed on Fox News, cannot wait to learn more. The leading-edge concept of human behaviors not being random and the discovery of the “Front-end Why’s” really appear to be self-empowering enough to simply use one own eyes and ears to own it and live it, as advertised. Through other resources via the Internet, Future decides to self-research and self-learn how the three spectrums are similar and where they differ.
Always the more ambitious twin, Future takes the time to create a side-by-side table of some of the specific nuances between the spectrums. Each of the three spectrums were overlapping in terms of a prominent Indifference Trait, an Override Feature, and a newly identified Discrimination Form summarized as follows:
The Indifference Traits all seem to give the leg up to each Spectrum’s left end as follows. The Full Intolerance Shield appears to always protect the Mind Blind from any accusations of wrongdoing or creating any trouble. Meanwhile, the No Intentions Badge affords the Chasee the chance to keep their options open via the ability to pick and choose who they have first-time sex with at practically no cost, even in a nearly Gender Equal Pay world. Even more interesting, the Zero Motivations Pass appears to provide any type of 0-percenter—non-criminal or otherwise—the ability to live comfortably without any kind of real responsibilities or restrictions.
Meanwhile, the respective spectrum Override Features appear to put things in a better perspective once accepted by considering the bigger picture. The Power Corrupted amongst the USA’s 2020s politicians across party lines are probably more prevalent and at the same time, more identifiable than ever before imagined. The acceptance of Total Equality as a key measurement of financial equity between the genders makes more sense than ever in a society where marriage and raising a family—or even just cohabiting—are secondary concerns for many. In the same manner, when discussing class status metrics, the Absolute Outcomes stipulation makes it abundantly clear that a successful Capitalist Equal Opportunities society already takes care of its own despite the rhetoric saying otherwise.
Lastly, when it comes to the newfound and specific Discrimination Forms across the spectrums, all make sense on how ongoing ignorance of the Spectrum Science could really impede any Capitalist Equal Opportunities-driven society. On the other hand, regularly practicing them—admittedly or not—can internally give unflappable cause and justifications for tearing it all down in favor of a Progressive Socialist Equal Outcomes-driven society. The stark reality is that varying forms of Brand-ism, Hormonal-ism, and Trade-off-ism have been brewing and festering throughout the USA for decades, which will undoubtedly be a better place with much less of all three.
Future found that the biggest differences vs. the above similarities were just as important to understanding the Spectrum Science and his own thought process foundation. How one’s Sexuality Spectrum position was controlled by one’s specific hormonal mix at birth making it even easier to formerly acknowledge individual sexual preferences no matter one’s personal and religious beliefs. Then with the Class Spectrum, it was obviously straight forward how the trade-off between one’s leisure time hours and income generation hours really will drive one’s own prosperity prospects. However, it was the Mind Spectrum that one could also individually control but needed to be weary on the stronger than ever influential forces, especially in the education, media, and entertainment sectors of the USA’s 2020s.
Upon Finite and Future finding themselves in the same room together (amongst others thankfully), Future tries to reason with Finite on how the Spectrum Science can be the final answer on why the USA should be broken up into two countries. Rumors at that time were that the Mind Blind could take the west coast and Hawaii under the name Utopia Socialist State of America (USSA). The Mind Balanced could then retain the remaining 46 states and lead the scaled-down-in-territory but enhanced in freedom and spirit USA forward.
It is at that very moment when Finite starts paying more attention to Future. Is this possible? A chance to prove that Progressive Socialism works when done right with the right leadership? It sounded too good to be true, but here it was at the doorstep in Finite’s early-on lifetime. To the extent working hard, can do attitudes, saving for the future, embracing math, or even just scheduling, is not what one is into, the USSA will be the perfect place to live. It will do away with such inherent racism as diligently and honestly documented by the 1619 Project and CRT, instantaneously.
But then Finite starts to wonder and worry out loud. Future did have some interesting points about how an Equal Outcomes culture would function in the USSA on several fronts. How many high-earner taxpayers will be needed for providing the necessary and year after year after year income transfers for all of the government entitlement recipients, and will they continue to work hard enough while surrendering more than 50 cents on every dollar earned, especially later in the calendar year?
In the same way, what about how a society cannot have tenants without private landlords who have and take all the responsibilities, unless of course if the government becomes the landlord for everyone. Even more concerning to Finite was how will unions fare when private business owners and Corporations do not see the sense of taking the risks of success or failure once profits take a permanent back seat? Will the USSA’s carefully crafted vision of all-inclusive workers’ rights over management be setting itself up for failure?
Future has this to say in response. One can have plenty of high-earner taxpayers without any government entitlement recipients. Obviously, it does not work the other way around. One can have private property owners without tenants, but tenants cannot have housing without private property ownership other than through the government. Likewise, one can have private corporations without unions, but one cannot have unions without private corporations. Please let that sink in.
Future then asks Finite, won’t the USSA have a need for some common middle ground between the makers and the takers? This then opens the door, albeit only momentarily, for Future to contemplate even more questions directed at Finite. In any fight for “equality,” how does one know when the war has been won? What are the metrics for it? Technology to gather metrics is everywhere, which means that there is no longer a real reason not to have measurable outcomes in play. What will the “soldiers” who served in the fight for the Equal Outcomes do with their time and how will they earn a living once the war is presumably won? Or does one just not keep score? Or just moves the goal posts? Or just imagines more inequitable issues to focus on for the existing victim groups and/or devises some new victim groups?
Also, why is Capitalism only measured as fair or unfair by gross income disparities in a single year and absolutely nothing else? What about all the conveniences that every class status level now has? How many luxury-like items do they personally own, just to take them for granted? How many personal services do they regularly have access to, especially beauty salon, spa, piercing, and tattoo services? How often do they have the pleasure of shopping for hours—in person or online—at a time? Are those counted as “living under the poverty-line” in the USA really that or just not reporting all of their income, especially the year-round paid protesters?
At this point, it should be no surprise that Finite stopped feeling comfortable at least three paragraphs ago and as a result both Finite and Future mutually decide to part ways for the night. However, not knowingly, this would end up being the last time that they would ever physically stand in the same room together in their lifetimes. Finite will follow a self-willed internal calling to move to the west coast the very next month to help lead the way for the new USSA in whatever capacity the Mind Blind leaders need. Meanwhile, Future will find destiny in emerging as one of the many independent thought leaders in the USA. A thought leader who will help reinforce and assure that an ever-freer lifestyle and path towards achieving the American Dream in the USA is permanently here to stay.
