FACTS AND CONCLUSIONS ABOUT FARMERS AND TRUCKERS.

Chain of Logic

FACT 1:

There are people.
People work in businesses.
Secondary work is the current result of previous primary work.
The intermingling of primary and secondary work has led to a division of labour.

One form of primary business is farming.
Farmers produce food for people.
Because people need food, they need farmers.

Another form of primary business is transportation.
Logistic companies and truck drivers transport goods.
Because all people, including farmers, need goods,
they need logistic and truck drivers.

FACT 2:

Not all people are farmers or truck drivers.
Since not all people are farmers and truck drivers, they produce non-food materials and services.
All people, including farmers and truck drivers, need non-food materials and services.
All food and non food stem from primary sources and are either materials themselves or are delivered and distributed through tangibles.

FACT 3:

In order to make these materials available, they must be organized to be sourced, produced, delivered and distributed.
Since these are acts of planing, non tangible means must be used.
Non tangible means are efforts of the mind.
Effort of minds result in communication. Communication must happen in order to produce, deliver and distribute materials.

Conclusions:

Modern societies consist of FACT 1 and FACT 2
and FACT 3.
Their main element is division of labor.
Food business is integral part of division of labor.
Non-food business is integral part of division of labor.
Communication is integral part of division of labor.

Further Facts:

Since division of labor is evident, there is interdependence between the actors through the very existence of division of labor.

Food is a primary nutrition source, and the related infrastructure is its primary source of distribution.

Between source, production and distribution there is the need for communication.

Communication is the very interface between effort of mind and effort of handling objects.
Since communication is needed, it also is primary. Since its primary function is to negotiate the "where", "when", "how", "how many", "how often", "between whom".

Since communication plays a major role in societies based on the division of labour, it is widely used to exert influence and find meaning.

Since the division of labour itself puts each individual in the position of having to find meaning within the division of labour spaces, they are confronted with the difficulty of doing so. Since the difficulty of doing this is evident, conflicts arise.

All conflicts arise because FACTS 1 - 3 issue communication about how those very facts "could be" or "should be" (changed, stay as they are).

Since conflicts are a result of peoples expressions, and since this is an all time phenomena, human beings want to rely on a unifying set of rules. Since unity is a temporal and local changeable phenomena, people find themselves arguing. Debate unifies, non debate and non communication divides.

All oral, verbal, scriptive, sculptive, motion films and memes, are communicative expressions. Since talk, scripture, books, texts, posters, paintings, sculptures, motion and non motion pictures are forms of communications, and since communication is a form of art, they require interpretation effort.

Interpretation is an on going mental activity

of how the world "is" and how the world "could be" or "should be".

Interpretations of past times resulted in the institutionalization of organizations, who function as interpretation sources. These meaning giving sources are of religious and philosophical nature. They themselves are an integral part of the division of labour.

Politics is one form of communication business, it is an integral part of what is interpreted into it through all media (art, books, texts, talks, memes etc.) and what is interpreted from it.

All political effort is based on how the world is "communicated" and how it "could be" or "should be" (communicated). This effort is based on reducing the complexity of life.

Since reductive efforts of the complexity of life take place,

these efforts emerge as struggles. Reductionism appears as either excessive or insufficient (scientific/technological applications).

Since no one person and no one organization can be certain about how to balance the efforts on a grand scale, and since all organizations consist of individuals, the individual requires sufficient stability and a sense of self-worth (dignity) to
a.) balance himself.
b.) balance efforts as a result of self balance on a small scale.
Since this gives him space to put ethos into work and to pass it on in all directions (including bottom up).

Self-knowledge is a condition for human dignity.

Since self-knowledge is achieved through reflection, meditation and contemplation in conjunction with life experience and external feedback of what is realised through reflection, meditation and contemplation, a person must be in relationship with themselves and others.

The relational importance I will treat in another text.
