I do comprehend everything you're stating and I don't mean to discourage you. Its just that from where I am now the roots go deep and the entire tree appears to be tearing away. What we'll be considering a few years from now will be radically different from the conversation being framed today or so it seems. You haven't let me down, I don't know you and you don't know me. Its not about that. The entire mainstream arena of thought is going down a back road to crazy street is what I'm saying and too few of us can even begin to comprehend the complexity of economic jargon. What does real tangible lasting change look like is where my sights are fixed. Everything else appears to be a bandaid over a malignant sore. Good luck with your endeavors. If we fail at least we'll be able to look at the children with a sense of good wholesome pride.

Sorry the economic talk has become boring. All that is being talked about will end up being framed within less than what will ultimately be in the restructuring of society. The economy is a sham and will be radically dismissed as nothing more than a sham, once we reconfigure our perception of existence on this planet. I just can't watch the wheels spin anymore, it's mind numbing. Something so much more is required of us to have a chance at survival long term it seems irrelevant to concentrate on economics, much less read economic theory. Good luck though, maybe you'll nudge us forward a little.

I am talking about in the mind first and in our environment second. Violence is to be avoided if possible, even at the cost of myself. Though I'm a realist and know that those running our system are endangering our lives and self defense may be necessary. In so many ways what I created advances the situation I would be doing a disservice to it to try and sum it up here. Email me and I'll send it to you. The one thing I will say is, it is no more or no less than what I thought it needed to be, in ways that may not be comprehend at first. 79domon(at)gmail.com

Sure the conditions of the worker are better and there have been improvements along the way. The improvements are slipping away though, and without a radical change in nearly every aspect of human organization. The global crisis's, of which best case scenario may have already passed us by, will most likely cost humanity much of the mental progress we've acquired so far, not to mention many lives. I believe the current argument to be off by more than a few degrees. I have a rudimentary paper at the end of my last book that outlines a whole new way of looking at the problem, including the realization of why our problems exist. Though, I'm afraid it would take quite a bit of thinking to finish and implement. Also, a paradigm shift in what we value as a species may also be required, which would include a change in the economic model, of course. Some say our extinction appears to be inevitable, I say why not try something extreme? The dystopia is ahead of us, it is up to us to avert disaster while we still have the time. Why not want more than what we see is not enough? Why not care about what really matters? And maybe humanity has been fighting for survival for all of recorded history, we tend to see overall direction and react to it. The species is young and still needs to learn its environment, perhaps the warnings come from there.

Ding, ding, ding correct answer Charley. Johnny, tell him what he wins. Well Charley you've won an all expenses paid, glazed over stare from the massive machine of puppet land. And if that's not enough, a future spiraling further toward chaos every year and if you're lucky, you'll get to experience the beginning of human extinction in your lifetime. How does it feel to be a winner?

No but seriously, at this point working with the systems current design seems redundant. The entire set up is just that, set up, and we need to restructure at this point, not just slap another band aid on it. What do you think about the market systems ability to react to out global crisis's? And how do you propose to change the influence of money without removing the current economic model? A paradigm shift in what we value seems necessary to me. I now ask myself will our current mindset and system that created it, bring us into the next 26,000 years?

Then how long do we have before population reduction begins? When will the populace begin to understand, that the market system is not intelligent.

What are the chances humanity survives the next 26,000 years in our current mindset and overall awareness. This question concerns not just the greed and selfishness but also the apathy of those who pretend to care.

In reality love is only a part and will never be a whole. What light is to dark, love is to hate. There can only be more or less love and it is always present. What we should be asking is what must change so that a love and care for each other can flourish. The answer extends as far as government, our economic system, all the way to religion, how we feel ourselves, and what we value as a society. A self centered egotistical society cannot find the love we seem to desire and the systems that were created for us to live in, produce a people who care only for the surface and are content within their apathy. True love contains a care that extends beyond words and the occasional gift. True love will not sit by as the world crumbles. The good people are those who will act in the face of such travesty, the rest merely want to lie too themselves, pretending that the little good that they do is enough. When the future of their children looks bleak.

When so many people are kept from the knowledge of how their government really functions, can Democracy be said to exist?

Some say we are already there, at the point of pointlessness. Is it obvious yet? What good is a system, if it cannot function rationally? What good is a government, if it represents madness?
