Ally, your wish, my command.
For those who have not met the 'Colony' model before, I should explain that I was attempting to look at the behaviour of serial killers from an evolutionary and biological perspective. This was misunderstood at the time by Ally, and others, who saw my comments as being sexually specific, and critical of different sections of the community. They were, and are not. They refer to changes in law and society which took place between the Late Victorian Period and the age we live in now. That is called 'history'. Only the third section was banned, I have included the others so that it may be read in context.
'Could it be that a particular individual within the colony who
either holds himself back from the mainstream through a peculiar
shyness, or alternately is deliberately held back from the
persuasive sway of the crowd by circumstances beyond his own
control - such as parental influence or abject poverty - might well
be more susceptible to the subtle signals than the average colony
member?
I think yes.
For all the signs seem to dictate that this particular type of
individual is a `loner', far removed from the maddening crowd,
a `sleeper' if you like, lying deep below the day to day to strata
of the colony, an individual who has absolutely no influence on
society until he explodes into violent and unexpected action, and
then actually causes that society to go into a sudden swerve, which
is - as I said before - the natural biological consequence of
these `sleepers' and is patently their evolutionary task.
To keep the colony on track.
Rather than listening to the generalized radio signals the colony
transmits - the smoothing sounds of organization and well-being
transmitted by the technology the colony possesses at that
particular time - this rare individual will spend countless idle
hours listening to the peculiar music in his head, and in some weird
form or manner he hears these signals through a solid wall of chaos,
and quite rightly takes these signals onto the streets and makes the
colony fully aware of their import.
Unbeknown to him, you and me, he is but fulfilling a task that
ensures the successful guidance of the colony through a passage of
time and space so immense that the colony might well lose its way
and descend into total chaos without that individual to scratch a
record of its passing.
If that thought leaves you in a similar isolation bubble as
experienced by the `sleeper' then you must take heart in the fact
that there are proven criteria for the enforced isolation of
individuals within the colony, and this is mostly based around a
fear and or loathing of the mainstream of the colony, and a
primitive desire to exercise some control over the obviously
uncontrollable machinations of the whole.
The colony marches one way and this individual marches the other.
So the colony turns around and marches back in a vain attempt to
pick up the pieces, and hence does a single individual swerve the
entire colony through an idle bit of chaos.
Truly frightening.
So we have the will of an individual pitched against the almighty
will of the colony, which seems to be impossible, but we must accept
that it happens, even further than that we have to accept the
sobering fact that sometimes an individual will actually impose his
will on the colony and dominate it.
However this in itself might - quite perversely - well be the hidden
result of the collective will somehow kindling and lighting the
individual's will in an effort to kick the colony back into the
predestined direction after it has taken a dangerous swerve or
appears to be on an imminent path of collision. Both the individual
and the colony would be unaware of this subtle and somewhat humorous
situation, as it is a biological marker that cannot be diagnosed,
assessed or even recognised using the normal human tools of
intellect, intelligence or logic.
Simply put: the colony gets what the colony deserves, and wants.
And if that `what' is an individual running around Whitechapel in
the late 1880's with a knife, murdering and mutilating women, then
somehow the colony has summoned this strange creature, and that
summons has very real and fathomable purpose and intent.
The import is in trying to look deeper into the actions of Jack; the
signals that the colony might have been transmitting at that time,
and then apply some lessons concerning the will of the colony and
the individual that recent history may have taught us.
All is not what it seems, and to analyse Jack and his fellow
soldiers, it is imperative to shut out completely the logical side
of our brain and allow the creative side to run riot through the
dark passageways of the colony's collective mind.
For it is our tendency - as a developing species - to always look
with our intellect, intelligence and logic at specific situations
and attempt to analyse and explain motive, intent and purpose, but
often the specific situation we are looking at - as in this specific
case with the colony and even more specifically with Jack - is a
purely biological situation where our precious logic and intellect
simply do not apply.
A small sample should serve the purpose of demonstration.
In recent times we have seen a persuasive colony swerve where the
gay community within that colony is concerned, from the days of the
late 70's and early 80's where gangs of soldiers would scour the
streets looking for workers of this persuasion and then indulging
themselves with what was politely termed by the colony as `queer
bashing', in other words brutalising those workers who did not fit
the colony model and in many cases actually killing them. This
seemed to be openly tolerated by the colony which appeared to be
transmitting the signal for such violent action in the first place,
and it soon became apparent through no other means than the
signalling apparatus of the colony that `gays' within the colony
would not be tolerated in any form or manner. A mere hint that a
worker might have been of that persuasion was enough for the
soldiers to be unleashed and no matter how high the office occupied
by the individual his usefulness to the colony had expired.
Since then - using subtle messaging and signalling techniques
through the mass media and ruling soldier classes occupying
positions of authority within the community - we have seen a
complete reversal of the situation where gay members of the colony
are positively encouraged and are indeed placed into positions of
power and privilege within the colony.
So in the space of a few years the colony moves from `queer bashing'
to `gay liberation' and the special needs of that gay community are
now enshrined and protected by the laws of the colony. An
unthinkable situation a few years ago.
What happened?
Nothing is the answer.
There is no convincing argument or evidence of a logical nature to
explain this complete turn around in the moral codes and conduct of
the colony. There is no single instance that influenced this wild
swing in attitude and application. The media is silent. There was no
war, there was no peace, just a long streak of silence and then we
wake up in a new world.
What we have witnessed is evolution, insidious and undeniable.
The colony is working at its own behest to cut the sexual stakes of
existence down by half.
What many of us may view as the unhealthy interest that a common sex
may share for that same common sex is positively greeted by the
evolutionary machine pounding away deep within the colony whose
ultimate achievement is just such a scenario.
An `alien wind'.
So as not to leave this achievement of the colony in splendid
isolation we must now examine an even more puzzling example.'
