REWARDS AND PENALTIES
HOW TO HANDLE PERSONNEL AND
ETHICS MATTERS
The whole decay of Western government is explained in this seemingly
obvious law:
WHEN YOU REWARD DOWN STATISTICS AND PENALIZE UP STATISTICS
YOU GET DOWN STATISTICS.
If you reward non-production you get non-production.
When you penalize production you get non-production.
The Welfare State can be defined as that state which rewards non-
production at
the expense of production. Let us not then be surprised that we all turn up
at last
slaves in a starved society.
Russia cannot even feed herself but depends on conquest to eke out an
existence-and don't think they don't strip the conquered! They have to.
Oddly enough one of the best ways to detect a Suppressive Person is that
he or
she stamps on up statistics and condones or rewards down statistics. It
makes an SP
very happy for everyone to starve to death, for the good worker to be
shattered and
the bad worker patted on the back.
Draw your own conclusions as to whether or not Western Governments (or
Welfare States) became at last Suppressives. For they used the law used by
suppressives: If you reward non-production you get non-production.
Although all this is very obvious to us, it seems to have been unknown,
overlooked or ignored by 20th Century governments.
In the conduct of our own affairs in all matters of rewards and
penalties we pay
sharp heed to the basic laws as above and use this policy:
We award production and up statistics and penalize non-production and
down
statistics. Always.
Also we do it all by statistics-not rumour or personality or who knows
who. And
we make sure every one has a statistic of some sort. We promote by
statistic only. We
penalize down statistics only.
The whole of Government as government was only a small bit of a real
organization-it was an Ethics function Plus a Tax function Plus a
Disbursement
function. This is about 3/100ths of an organization. A 20th Century
government was
just these 3 functions gone mad. Yet they made the whole population wear
the hat of
government.
We must learn and profit from what they did wrong. And what they mainly
did
wrong was reward the down statistic and penalize the up statistic.
The hardworker-earner was heavily taxed and the money was used to
support the
indigent. This was not humanitarian. It was only given "humanitarian"
reasons.
