CRIME AND PUNISHMENT (Sketching this still)
The strategy of graceful and incremental failure.
I have been working on ‘punishment’ for quite a while, and have come to the conclusion – obvious in retrospect – that imprisonment is as counter productive as is mixed mass education, and forcible social integration, and that enserfdom and enslavement in self governing work-on-commons camps, farming camps, training camps, where individuals are required to self-maintain, or self improve are better than imprisonment, which is merely expensive, destructive to the mind, and makes people worse than they were when they went in.
In other words, I do not see punishment beneficial as much as insulating the markets from these people, and providing a society with normative regulations more suited to their abilities.
It seems that for men in particular, isolation, submission, and repetition do not teach them how to negotiate a position in a dominance hierarchy by cooperation and merit, but the more aggressive the male the worse consequence this has for him. And as the military has shown for thousands of years, the most dangerous men can be tamed by other dangerous men and find a place in a hierarchy where they can succeed.
It seems like simple infantry units comprised exclusively of ‘troubled males’ who do nothing more than small arms and patrols should once again be used as a method of ‘rescuing’ those men who have lacked discipline.
It seems that there is vast work in the commons that can be conducted, and that we now possess the technology to equip our ‘serfs of the commons’ such that they either can be tagged and found, or tagged, shocked and found (without resorting to exploding collars so to speak.)
It seems that as long as a court exists for the camp members, and that ‘video record is everywhere and everywhen’ that ‘outside intervention’ is always possible, and inside appeal to the court of their peers is always possible.
It seems that as in all things, we can create an internal industry out of reformers out of practical market demand, rather than an external industry out of reforming – unsuccessfully.
It means that camp-governance can be tribal (by kin). And it might mean that camp life can become voluntary: in that if a man chooses that camp ‘society’ is preferable, that he can stay in it, where he may be valued whereas outside of it he would not be.
It means that if a ‘hanging’ is necessary, that it will be performed by their peers rather than by superiors in the external market.
It seems that no electronic communication. No personal visits. Only written communications (on paper) should be permitted since this perpetuates prior anchors and perpetuates crimes.
It seems that the teaching of mindfulness is probably the most important skill we should work on, since it is lack of mindfulness that leads to the majority of criminal activity.
In other words, we should provide as much incentive to self maintain, and stay inside as possible, and to let communities form that serve the interests of either reforming or exterminating the individuals.
