UNITY through DIVERSITY might be also applicable to INFORMATION (4)

This text for FIS started with the question "INFORMATION, what for?"
Evidently it couldn't be ignored that information has been and still
is indispensable for exchanging the views of humans about the various
ways our ancestors have managed to survive and to create a human
world, the so called homosphere, which has been not consciously
inserted in the biosphere. Until today this homosphere - which grows
and grows because most humans still believe that "human life" is
something that has been granted forever - is the outcome of
civilizing actions that altogether have become a phenomenon de facto,
though generated by superb ideas that have generated brilliant
decisions which have been intelligently conceived and cleverly
implemented. These civilizing actions have made possible the
manifestation of the greatest human adventure - though it has become
gradually an experiment not sufficiently consistent and not congruous
enough - that started very recently (only around 6 to 8 millennia
ago) when suddenly several of our ancestors invented on their own to
settle down here or there supported by a first knowledge of causal
relations of natural phenomena that were perceived as utilitarian
possibilities that presumably would assure the survival of human
beings.

In each case the invented settlement was conceived necessarily by a
single mind, who dared to imagine and conceive his assumption as a
feasible one; who managed to communicate immediately his brilliant
idea to his or her congeners. One way or another, here and there
several humans accepted to start the experiment which became an
invitation for the participants to search continuously causal
interactions and to integrate the knowledge they could gradually
acquire as information needed for making reliable, therefore
successful, the utilitarian adventure.

However, it seems that pretty soon in every new settlement some
individuals became soon motivated to invent causal relations for
making utilitarian the compulsive participation of other people.
Therefore it happened from the very beginning that these cleverer
individuals considered not only feasible but even necessary to create
suitable circumstances in order to use purposefully the majority of
the people; those who gradually and quite consistently were "invited"
to work as slaves, serfs, servants, soldiers,Š those who recently
have been identified as the human resources needed for building and
maintaining in operation what gradually have become the civilizing
facilities for the minorities who have managed to privilege
themselves as the ruling elites inside every settlement.

INFORMATION seems to be essentially a conceptual tool needed strictly
and exclusively by those humans who consider necessary to organize a
purposeful communication as needed for helping: to discover causal
relations of existent phenomena to invent causal interactions of new
phenomena needed for making more functional the kind of homosphere
that has been created and maintained de facto even with the support
of all kinds of warfare

Being the dynamics of the whole civilizing processes determined
mainly by the decision-making conceived by the elites it can be argue
that the INFORMATION required for assuring the functionality of every
civilizing experiment has been in a large measure invented for such a
purpose.

And the whole civilization continue being considered a magnificent
achievement not only by the elites but also by the common people
educated in accordance with criteria conceived for making people
obedient and happy human resources. Unfortunately, in the view of the
elites the whole civilizing adventure has been slightly troubled from
time to time by dissidents, those who are accused as terrorists as
soon as they start organizing another fight for the recognition of
rights on Earth of one or another of the groups that are composing
the masses.
