GROWTH IS A PONZI SCHEME. THERE IS AN ULTIMATE DAY WHICH IS LIKE JUDGEMENT DAY WHEN RELIANCE ON FUTURE GROWTH TO FUEL RETURNS TO INVESTORS TODAY MUST COLLAPSE. AND THAT DAY MAY HAVE ALREADY COME. THE EARTH ISNT GETTING ANY LARGER. THE POPULATION CANNOT CONTINUE TO GROW WITHOUT DEGRADATION OF LIFE. ALOT OF OUR SOCALLED ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IS WORSE THAN USELESS — IT IS ACTUALLY KILLING OUR HOST.
IT CANNOT CONTINUE. THE WORD UNSUSTAINABLE HAS BEEN THROWN ABOUT FOR MOST OF MY LIFETIME, BUT STILL THE MEANING REMAINS ALMOST COMPLETELY UNABSORBED BY THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE IN MUCH OF THE WORLD. THIS IGNORANCE CANNOT INSULATE HUMANITY FROM ITS TRUTH. IF WE DONT UNDERSTAND QUICKLY WHAT HAS HAPPENED, IS HAPPENING, AND NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN ORDER FOR HUMAN LIFE TO BE SUSTAINABLE ON EARTH, WE WILL DISAPPEAR LIKE ONE LITTLE INSIGNIFICANT NUCLEAR PICNIC IN THE COSMOS.

THEY DONT GET IT
I DONT THINK THE GENERAL PUBLIC — CERTAINLY NOT THE RIGHTWING REPUBLICAN PARTY IN THE UNITED STATES — GETS IT. I DONT THNK THEY REALIZE THAT, AS WE SAW IN 1989 WITH THE MORE OR LESS DISSOLUTION OF COMMUNIST STATES, WE ARE SEEING THE END OF A PERIOD IN HUMAN HISTORY WHEN FREEMARKET CAPITALISM, WHICH DEVOLVED INTO CORPORATE RULE, IS ENDING.
SOMETHING ELSE IS GOING TO HAVE TO COME ALONG TO REPLACE IT. THE OBVIOUS CANDIDATE IS NOT A RETURN TO COMMUNISM. I THINK COMMUNISM DIED FOR REASONS, JUST AS CAPITALISM AS A CENTRAL TENET OF SOCALLED DEMOCRATIC SOCIETIES IS DYING FOR REASONS. BUT SOCIAL DEMOCRACY, WHERE GOVERNMENTS DO NOT TAKE CARE OF THE NEEDS OF BUSINESS, WHERE GOVERNMENTS ARE ALMOST ENTIRELY RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING CARE OF CITIZENS — INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE — IS THE LIKELY OUTCOME. IT WOULD CERTAINLY BE A BETTER SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF FOSTERING A JUST AND EQUITABLE HUMAN SOCIETY ON EARTH THAN WHAT WE HAVE HAD FOR THE LAST HUNDRED YEARS — AND ESPECIALLY THE LAST THIRTY YEARS.
DONT EXPECT THIS PERIOD OF FINANCIAL AND SOCIAL CRISIS TO EASE ANYTIME SOON — AT LEAST NOT UNTIL THE COMBAT HAS MOVED AWAY FROM PROTECTING PRIVILEGE TOWARD A GENUINE RESTRUCTURING OF EXPECTATIONS THAT FOSTERS A MORE EQUITABLE AND BENEVOLENT SOCIAL ORDER. THE ONLY FORCE AVAILABLE IN THE WORLD TODAY THAT CAN MOVE TO EASE HUMAN POPULATION EXPANSION AND THE CORRUPTION OF THE PHYSICAL PLANET IN TIME TO SAVE HUMANITY IS A STRONGER AND MORE CENTRALIZED GOVERNMENT. AS DANGEROUS AS THAT MAY PROVE TO BE, WE ARE JUST COLLECTIVELY NOT YET KIND ENOUGH AND EMPATHETIC ENOUGH TO VOLUNTARILY SAVE OUR SPECIES AND OUR HOST WITHOUT AN ELEMENT OF COMPULSION. SO SORRY.

THE AMERICAN DREAM
THE AMERICAN DREAM AT ITS CORE IS A DREAM OF PRIVILEGE AND YOU CANNOT PURSUE PRIVILEGE WITHOUT ABANDONING JUSTICE — NEITHER CAN YOU PURSUE JUSTICE WITHOUT ABANDONING PRIVILEGE. AND JUSTICE IS THE ONLY GOAL OF A WORTHY SOCIETY.
FURTHER, THE NOTION GLOBALLY OF AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM IS AN AFFRONT TO EVERY OTHER NON-AMERICAN HUMAN, THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF HUMANS ON THE PLANET, AND TO EVERY OTHER SPECIES. IT IS PROFOUNDLY ANTIDEMOCRATIC.

ERRORS AND CRIMES
CONTINUING TO WANT SOMETHING THAT CAUSES INJURY TO OTHER PEOPLE OR OTHER SPECIES OR THE ABILITY OF OUR HOST PLANET TO SUSTAIN ITSELF AND THE LIFE SUPPORTED BY IT IS A PHILOSOPHICAL ERROR. CONTINUING TO DO IT IS A CRIME.
LIFE'S CHEMISTRY
CHEMICAL LOVE. CHEMICAL HAPPINESS. CHEMICAL FEAR. CHEMICAL HUNGER. CHEMICAL DISTRESS. LIFE IS A CHEMISTRY SET. WE ARE ALL CHEMISTS, ALL US CREATURES, AND WE ALL INHERIT THE SAME APPARATUS.
ITS A TAX
ITS A TAX. INSIDERS HAVE FIGURED OUT WITH THE HELP OF COMPUTER-GENERATED ALGORITHMS HOW TO CHURN THE STOCK MARKET AND GENERATE INCOME TO THEMSELVES ON A DAILY BASIS AND THAT IS A TAX ON WORKING PEOPLE AND THEIR FAMILIES. IF THE PEOPLE WHO RAIL ABOUT TAXES AND PIMP FOR NO NEW TAXES WERE BEING HONEST THEY WOULD HAVE TO ADMIT THAT THE GREATEST TAX FOR LEAST RETURN ON THE ORDINARY PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES IS THE TAX THAT WALL STREET LEVIES.
ITS TIME TO CHANGE SOME RULES. ITS TIME TO CHANGE A LOT OF RULES.
ITS TIME TO CHANGE SOME RULES. ITS TIME TO CHANGE A LOT OF RULES.
PURPOSE
I WANT TO LEAVE BEHIND SOMETHING I VALUE. WHETHER OTHERS VALUE IT ALSO I HAVE NO IDEA. IF THEY DO I AM CONTENT. IF THEY DO NOT I AM CONTENT. MY OBJECTIVE IS TO DO AN HONEST THING.
