That endless economic growth walks in step with the illusion, and the illusion of freedom of democracy and the Marxist collective agenda?
Always to grow forever and ever, is based on greed alone. In both politics and economy. There is no other reason for it except the end of history and the sped-up decay of nationalism and movement to a technological totalitarianism.
At one time you might have said, well, there is the jobs it creates, economy that is… And along with that comes the prosperity to those who hold those jobs. They get a better life and can afford some quality to that life and the lives it supports like the families of those workers.
Then there is the spin-off economy from those largest industries for raw materials, and services and the labour that it requires, and more jobs.
As companies profits, then they invest in themselves in regards to improvement and research and development into creating better less expensive to produce products and services. And again, that supports more jobs that possibly need more qualified and higher educated employees.
Now all long this process of growth, taxes are being collected on all parts of that process of economic growth. And government grows as it does and, the infrastructure building and the maintenance of it.
Roads are built, as also the schools, hospitals and the necessary needs of a population; the taxes support the unfortunate and old and decrepit, maintaining once again, that infrastructure that is built.
The employees in those many, many jobs pay taxes on the income and services and products that they buy into, in that ‘Quality life.’
The corporations and companies involved also pay taxes, it is hoped, and that furthers that whole thing.
Villages, towns and cities grow from that economic growth and they in turn create stable jobs and etc, etc.
Now as growth goes, the cities, towns and villages get larger as population grows to suit the needs of all those jobs, and families that want to buy a new home. And along with that the investment into sound families that educate and give a quality of life to that offspring that is required in the process of growth and for a developing future.
That quality needs quality, also in, education institutions and hospitals and a high-quality food supply and an economic model that supports the efficiency and expense of all that growth. The logistics of delivery systems that are with limited waste? The process of clearing away the waste after all that consumption must be attended properly and efficiently, with eye on not polluting and being honest in that cause.
And all along this process, the primal nature of man must be addressed; why do this? Why continue to expand and grow? What is the meaning of it all, what is the meaning of a single life inside this vast system that has been created over the decades and hundreds of years in its making, its creation.
These create subsets to the initial and these questions are pondered by the finest of minds. Philosophies are created to explain the human reasons for growth of economy, which in the end becomes vast empire/s.
What the fuck is the reason for all this? To extend a human life out further in time as that quality of existence extends, and changes the nature of reality, and the natural, as people live longer and longer quality lives?
But in all that process, someone does not get a share, someone is taken advantage of, or oppressed and forced into a smaller place, having less and less quality than what the whole supports.
Elitism emerges and becomes the dominant force in that empire which needs unlimited economic growth and seeks in the end, to protect its investment, its property and that continued growth.
But as population has grown, smaller industries find a niche in economy and stay there happy with a sustained position in the whole market. Steady modest growth or limited growth enables a sounder control; a sustainability. Productivity and waste are managed more easily and boom and bust impulse is less of a danger to its longevity and that sustainability.
Western societies, in fact the whole western empire is built on an age-old model that the Greeks and the Romans invented, rather, fine-tuned and perfected. And that is the model of economy based on war and conquer.
The west has made that a main stay of growth in the western world. Wars feed economies, and now the whole thing has grown to a point where the ‘forever war’ is a necessary evil, it is stated, for the continued growth of world economy. Someone must die, so others might live in quality. The World Island become a sought-after goal, kicked in to another how many years of boom and bust if they succeed.
But technology that has excelled past growth has become the dominant growth factor and it has taken on a life of its own, aided and abided by a very curious science and entrepreneurship,
It has lessened the need of so many employees and in turn, as they have become disgruntled and lost to the past, to the sheer size of the whole thing. Adaptation becomes harder and harder for some as the streets fill with homeless, unable to cope. Feeling like they are leading unimportant lives they protest and contest the great divide that has now separated us, and happened as elitism favors the most psychopathic within the society of man. The worst it seems rise to the top.
Technology becomes this immense tool to create for the first time in the whole history of man, an ability to stand, more or less alone from humanity.
Factories run by robotics; self-driving logistical systems, AI controlled manufacture and processing of raw material. And all that now threatens to go off world as robotics and AI reach for the zenith, an acme point. Planets and moons are now within man’s grasp, and the resources, minerals and metals, hydrocarbons, precious metals are now looking as if they can be easily gained.
The possibility of a large global corporation that has very limited human control; a hand full of intelligent and well-educated experts managing an army of robots and drones servicing a global market that is now limited and mostly impoverished, unable to buy the products that, that corporation creates. Those populations become a hindrance to elite growth. And that elite now find it necessary to purchase the whole planet and all its resources as a means to an end. And investment of it vast oceans of money. Currency changes, but property is forever it seems.
War sustains, and creates more for an elite which does not wish to waste its time supplying that population of mankind. A deep hatred and denial of competition impedes the upstarts growth, and they so want to grow. The whole thing becomes an addiction as greater and greater wealth is found within the grasp of a single human. Not a particularly unique individual human.
It turns to other things as it has now achieved a level of wealth that outstrips anything achieved before in all of history. The era of trillionaires approaches quickly.
But that wealth in the past has been based on labour and growth and now no one can afford the products and growth has stalled out as a human workforce is not necessary any more.
Elitism looks to the stars and the creation of a super species, a species now adherent to the Kardashev scale of technological advancement. A gene rich can now afford a life not ever afforded to previous men, and with a goal of becoming a Type 1 civilization of elites and moving towards an evolution of sorts in a transhuman future undefined at present. The migration of consciousness into some high-tech super body or existence that is possibly immortal.
And in the end only one can remain, and call itself God. As the population is reduced, as it no longer needed, as the future decides that we are an obsolescence and reason for greater population control. And that furthers to a world populated by the most insane individuals and that in turn starts to eat itself as the illusion of growth pushes what remains along to a human dead end. And in the end what is the use of that…
The two main groups in the world are the 99% and the 1% that control them; groups divided by a fake currency that the later invented some time ago as a currency of exchange. But money took on a life of its own as well, as it becomes digital, as did the corporation. The corpoartion becomame a person with rights, will money do the same.
Groups have been the dividing factor as a dualism that is seemingly forced on the world. The ‘WE’ that are the better than you because of money, and the 99 who envy that position and really, for the most part want to be the 1%.
Groups have destroyed mankind; they have isolated him from nature and the natural. Through sex, race, intelligence, money, breeding and power, through interests, and protest and dissent, through gender and mental illness, via subordinate groups governed by another, we have been isolated from ourselves and no longer fit the mold as human beings.
In the end there can only be one.
