  • The taboo associated with challenging what others think, under the still

  • convenient notion that all values are equal, is simply not tenable. You are

  • in fact partially responsible for the thoughts and values of others; and they

  • are in fact responsible for yours. The most dangerous value we can have

  • floating around the culture today (and I hope everyone can really listen

  • carefully to this) the most dangerous value we have floating around the culture today

  • is the idea that any of us have freedom of choice or 'the right to our own opinion',

  • especially when it comes to issues of human survival and sustainability.

  • We cannot choose, we can only align if we wish to survive and prosper.

  • Period. There is simply no such thing as freedom when the benchmark of scientific

  • causality is brought into the equation with respect to any action or goal.

  • The only caveat is the emergent uncertainty of the evolution of knowledge. How could we possibly be

  • so arrogant to assume at any point in time in human history that we have ever been

  • empirically right? It simply hasn't happened yet if you take the broad view.

  • It wasn't until the past couple hundred years that the scientific method has barely

  • been taken seriously with respect to human affairs and society. It's a

  • benchmark. The self correction attribute of science is what enables its

  • evolution. There does seem to be a pre-existing logic (and this is important to note

  • because people take this for granted) a logic in fact which dictates our reality

  • it doesn't give a damn what we think of it and impose upon it. It appears we can

  • either be vulnerable and align as best we can and engage this harmony; or we can walk

  • against it - fight it - to our personal and social disadvantage. Is there really any

  • freedom to how we organize our economy on a finite planet if the goal is to

  • create the most efficient sustainable means of production, distribution and

  • regeneration? No there isn't. Industry is a technical process - a calculation

  • problem - where the variables of human needs, physical science and earthly resources are

  • brought into a single regulatory equation , if you will. The properties of our resources

  • can be scientific quantified now - strategically assessed as far as their purpose;

  • strategically oriented as far as the design in the most logical manner

  • distributed through the exact same logic of pure efficiency.

  • We have globalization on this planet - what the hell are we doing? We're taking stuff from all

  • over the world, exploiting labor, moving it around - wasting tons of energy - when we

  • could easily develop production methods in local communities where you save

  • x-fold amount of energy

  • the distance between elements moving is x-fold less - it's insane, but yet the

  • system perpetuates that. That's for a larger order subject that I've not enough time to go into.

  • We could strategically orient industry and it's self-evident as we do based on the

  • physics of our reality and where things are. We could enable an efficiency never known

  • before - it becomes self-evident. And why would be possibly, with regard to

  • sustainability, want to do anything less? As counterintuitive and culturally obtuse

  • as it may seem, there is no freedom or opinion in our technical reality. There is

  • only the most efficient way up until now. And the rest is simply inefficient.

  • The definition of economy in Greek means management of a household. A reduction of waste

  • and maximized efficiency is inherent in this premise. Is this the way our current

  • free-market system is operating? What drives the global economy? Consumption.

  • And the more the better.

  • More consumption means more jobs - better GDP and hence enabling more consumption

  • (through purchasing power that's enabled). Is that efficient? Shouldn't preservation

  • and reducing waste be the basis of an economy on a finite planet by definition?

  • How can an economy based on the need for constant growth and turnover - and even

  • an economy based on the constant need for employment - be 'economizing' anything at all?

  • Then there's this thing called cost efficiency. Cost efficiency demands cutting expenses to remain competitive

  • in the marketplace. Every single product created by any corporation today (without

  • exception) is immediately inferior by design - for the market requirement to cut

  • creation costs in favor of lowering the output purchasing price to maintain a

  • competitive edge - automatically reduces the quality of any given item by default.

  • It is impossible to create the strategically best, long-lasting

  • 'anything' in our society. And this translates into outrageous amounts of wasted resources.

  • Likewise, the same mechanism is also reinforcing environmental disregard, depletion and

  • pollution. Everyone's trying to save money - why do you think they're really going to care about the environment?

  • The logic is against it. We see this constant in the world today among many

  • many other issues l could list. In fact, if you take a moment to really step back and

  • think about this - not only is this inefficiency a characteristic of the

  • market model - it's actually the fundamental driver. Having clean unpolluted

  • water in your home might seem like a nice thing in gesture. But the fact that

  • money is not being exchanged for that is anathema to the economic sustainability

  • that we've come to understand. So more pollution means more profit. More disease

  • means more jobs. Ad infinitum. In fact, I would go so far to say as pointed out here that

  • sustainability, efficiency and preservation empirically are the enemies

  • of our economic system - and that's unfortunately the firm reality. Those out

  • there who talk about a 'green economy' or the like - as though there's such a

  • thing that could possibly exist in this system - posing solutions within this

  • structural order such as renewable energies, energy credits, carbon footprint

  • stuff or the like - they are not understanding what's actually at work

  • here. You cannot have a true green or even close to whatever you could consider a

  • sustainable economy in the market model of economics. It is technically

  • impossible. The system would fail if we ever wanted to operate on a truly technical

  • sustainable level - for the system is in fact fueled by the exact opposite

  • set of mechanics. I would even go so far to challenge for those out there that

  • basically at this stage are not in favour of the complete abolition of

  • the market economy as the solution to the destruction of our environment - not

  • to mention the collapse of the social order itself we are seeing - while working

  • to replace this system with a truly technical approach for resource management,

  • proper scientific allocation, seeking the highest level of efficiency possible at

  • every turn in production and distribution, for maximum sustainability

  • (which is a technical distinction) including proper allocation of labour and

  • everything else - you're really just engaging in patchwork.

  • It's not going to do anything in the long run and we're wasting time

  • because time is literally running out.

  • We have based our economy on outdated notions of human bahaviour and

  • convoluted notions of supposed freedom and ignored the true technical reality -

  • the true environmental reality that actually supports and sustains our

  • lives and creates good public health.

  • This realisation - that are true economic benchmark is science

  • and hence the self-evident calculation requirement needed to

  • streamline our efficiency - inherently voids the entire basis, again,

  • of free-market economics itself - I can't reiterate that enough. For it simply makes zero

  • technical sense scientifically

  • and is in fact provably now working against our survival and accelerating.

  • Let's take a quantum leap outside of our traditional assumptions for a moment.

  • What does the the political institution and hence government really do? Why do we even have it?

  • They work to compensate for the inefficiency of the economy. That's it.

  • That's the only reason they're there. When people are not getting their needs met they

  • often resort to so-called 'crime', so government invents 'laws' to silence those victims of

  • the economic efficiency. Likewise, if we need resources being held in another

  • 'sovereign nation' aka region of the planet and we are not economically

  • getting along with them, we engage in war to steal those resources not to mention

  • protect ourselves from others who might want to steal ours. There is no war in

  • history that has not been based upon resource acquisition or protection. Likewise the

  • world's divided into gangs, you ever notice that? We still have these things called 'countries' ?

  • We still assume a socially Darwinistic pretense with the very

  • existence of these nation states not to mention the divisive patriotic

  • value-distortions that are born out of it.

  • Are countries relevant in technical terms? How could we possibly define them

  • outside of our opinions? a) all humans share the same basic needs, and

  • b) the resources that we all need have no idea what a country is

  • And they are dispersed everywhere on this planet in one single unified ecosystem.

  • If there's anything positive that came out of the US and Russian

  • cold war that almost triggered complete nuclear disaster decades ago it was

  • the realisation that radiation fallout and nuclear winter never heard of

  • countries, flags or sovereignty. Just as the pollution from the Japanese power plants

  • that melted down a while back - it didn't need passports to cross over to other

  • country's atomospheres. I hope my point is clear. The fact is, there is only and can

  • only be one global economy and hence there is only one and can only be one

  • global society - for our economic premise is what defines us and that's what our

  • survival is. The socio-economic system of our time is

  • as archaic, dogmatically religious and pseudoscientific as any dogmatic religious

  • belief. They are completely decoupled from the benchmark of our scientific

  • emergent reality which is being denied - held in place by traditional non

  • emergent institutions which - mark my words - will be what destroys life

  • on this planet as we know it

  • if the multi-dimensional reality that is springing up is not realised and brought

  • to the surface quickly.

  • The central problem we face is that the economic system is actually

  • still systematically reinforcing itself - continuing to hold this paradigm in

  • place by the ongoing values and actions of the masses - who do not see the true

  • source of the problem because they're trapped inside of it and they are

  • accelerating its effects. For example, if anyone out there frames their sense of

  • leadership or success based on money or acclaim - you have a rude awakening coming to you.

  • I don't blame them and don't put them down but I hope - I hope this definition can

  • eventually change. What is true success? Is success how well you manage your

  • company? Sell a book? Gain a profit? or anything that engages the current socio-economic

  • paradigm? If you agree with what I have just described with respect to the economic system,

  • those focusing on short-term material success might very well be

  • assisting in their own long-term failure and demise, for they are only

  • perpetuating a detrimental social system in the end that (as I said before) will get

  • the best of all of us if it isn't stopped. Shouldn't true success

  • be your ability to adapt to the emergence of new information?

  • Improving your relationship with the natural order benchmark that we've

  • spoken of? Is there really anything else that could possibly define success in

  • the broadest possible terms? Proper alignment with whatever reality happens

  • to be. Advancing itself and you being with it? Do our relationships and

  • marriages and bank accounts and even our children, our status, our acclaim

  • really mean anything when it's stepped back to the larger order

  • of what it means to relate to the world that you live in? All acts of commerce are inherently

  • corrupt. If you define corruption as deprivation, exploitation or abuse - every

  • time you mark up the value on a good you sell or cut corners to save money you are

  • engaging in deprivation, exploitation and abuse by its systemic causal effect and

  • intrinsic rationale. That is the behavior our social system requires

  • to continue and that distortion is currently masked as normality.

  • When I look at the world today with, say, one person dying every three seconds

  • unnecessarily; when I look at the fact that there are, in truth - based on UN

  • distinctions of human trafficking and what slavery means, there are today more slaves in the

  • world than ever before in human history. When I speak to the truth of the fact that every single

  • life-support system is in decline due to resource exploitation

  • equal exploitation that goes on the human side, applied to the abuse of the top soil -

  • abuse to everything that we're doing, to destruction of water resources -

  • This is a dramatic failure that were seeing across the board,

  • destroying public health and destroying ecological health.
