The aim of all organisms is to survive and no one does it better than the human species. We command the power that makes more power. We control our own physical destiny since we command the power that makes more power. This control of power enables our species to survive on other planets, if needed, well beyond the extinction of all life on this planet. I know, I can hear it now, the reader was promised a ‘comprehensive whole’ and I’ve gone off on another space voyage. Please bear with me.
Suppose (for the sake of agreement) that our species will survive well past the extinction of all life on planet earth and suppose that the extinction of all life on earth occurs in the future. The end of all life on the planet earth occurs on a specific day. Now, if you can please follow along, we are now approaching that day. Certain things must happen before that day (when the planet Earth can no longer support life) to ensure the continued survival of the human species. One of the things that must happen before that end date (end of the Planet Earth) is the production of enough power to move to and survive on another place, planet, or life sustaining object.
This is the glue that binds my ‘comprehensive whole’ view of human existence and this must be understood when viewing the Free Market Competition. Blackwater is one of many human experiments being played out in competition with many other competitors.
If the reader does agree that a day is approaching whereby the Earth will no longer support life (even if that day is one billion years from now) then the reader can follow along in this comprehensive whole viewpoint. If the reader can then agree that there must be enough power produced by someone before that day if the human species will survive past that day. The reader can then judge human activity based upon a holistic power struggle and add that expanded power struggle to the individual power struggle that permeates much of our human ideology.
Therefore; there is a self-centered, egotistical, sovereign individual, and personal power struggle combined with a species power struggle. The individual concern and the species concern merge on the date when the Earth can no longer support life. This part of the holistic viewpoint renders the divergence between individual and social power struggle moot. On that day when the Earth no longer can support life (and we have not produced the power to survive without the Earth) we all share the same concern. Each individual will be threatened by the same fate. That generation of human beings will all be ‘on the same page’. Each sovereign individual will be threatened by the same DOOMS DAY.
Each individual will face the same exact future cause of death; even if individuals decide to add more causes of death to the one common cause.
What this viewpoint does is to identify our common power struggle as a species and this viewpoint incorporates each individual power struggle into the whole. From this viewpoint I can launch now, if things go according to plan, into the Blackwater aspect of Free Market Competition.
