The Bureaucracy of Apathy

Change is a process of going from order to disorder. Ordered systems are a reflection of the chaos that has occured to formulate them - chaos naturally decends into order, as chaos in itself requires energy to maintain while order requires stagnation. Thus, all chaos will decend into stagnation and all changes will lead to the identical system being repeated.

There is no purpose to change. It only achieves inefficiently and in misery what we deal with normally anyway. Oversight, therefore, is the process by which the status quo is maintained. The status quo is not a device of hatered or sloth, but rather a mechanism by which the normal operating state can be maintained against those who are naive enough to think that change brings progress.

The preferred mechanism for oversight is to maintain an obstructive minority - a small group not given to bureaucratic inefficiencies that can work bureaucratic inefficiencies into the larger bureaucratic system. It is the natural state of any bureaucracy to retain its present form, so therefore all that is required is to encourage the bureaucracy to retain its natural condition.

Life works best when nothing happens.

That speech caused a riot among the young people at Ugly Grace's! We got a recording of it!

Humans stink when they don't change -- their clothes, or at least their underware.

Too much status quo produces rigor mortis, but I guess rigor mortis is a requirement to get into Heaven. But I have heard that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
