Forget the gang thing. That was just the Tzu equivalent to your story. A group is a concept. If you add an objective to that group then you have a story. Ever tried to hug a group? You can't. All you can do is hug individuals. I see. Not a team player. Remind me not to hire you, should the opportunity ever arise. Yeah, I'm not the guy that would do group translations of classical texts.

The 'entity' is imagination. If you go to the CFR or the Bilder boys you will probably see a bunch of chairs, tables, coffee cups and some individuals having conversations. Similar to Tzu's 'bad boys borg gang' that is 'posting manipulative crepe'. That gang is imagination, a story about what is. What comes closest to 'what is happening' is that A disagrees with Tzu, B disagrees with Tzu, C agrees with Tzu, E disagrees with Tzu. That's all. Tzu puts A,B and E into a concept called 'gang' and declares it 'what is'. However, the 'gang' is not 'what is'. The 'gang' is a concept, a story about 'what is'. Well, strictly speaking, they are stories yes. They just happen to be stories that can be pretty interesting from the perspective of anticipating an impact to one's experience. Anticipation might be anathema to just being, but it's sometimes a practical necessity. For example, you can be d@mn sure that I checked the TSA website for the latest shifting cattle requirements before all the post 911 flights I've taken. It's also useful to keep an eye on potential global conflict if you have an interest in the markets that hedge currency, such as metals like gold. Well, strictly speaking, that's TMT and not 'useful' but rather 'unnecessary'. You can survive and live well without that kind of conceptual neck and tail. In flow experience for example you don't have that kind of neck and tail. Then it's not placing bets to make a profit but just following numbers on screens and doing mouse clicks, it's on autopilot, no story necessary. The word 'useful' doesn't even have to enter the picture.

The word 'useful' doesn't even have to enter the picture. How the appearance of the event of the mouse click on the TSA site or of the sell button is characterized is just a matter of convention. The first cut was long before either appearance and to prefer one set of object delineation over another seems to me to be not only culturally stilted but unnecessary.

Just BE, remember? 'The Elite' is a concept, a story about 'what is'. It shouldn't be of any concern to a true Beingist, doncha think? Not exactly. The President of the United States isn't a 'story'; the Council on Foreign Relations isn't a 'story'; the U.S. Federal Reserve Board and the European Central Bank aren't 'stories'; the Annual Bilderberg meetings aren't 'stories'. These are real entities that play a major role in global events. What they do isn't a 'story', either, but just what happens in the world. I am allowing what they do, what happens in the world. I've put a lot of those events together to explain, if only to myself, what is happening. That is all. I'm curious, what in the world is a beingist anyway?
