that's the problem... Living as in a game... And worst is leaving in a RTS... where the control of resources can become an obsession... Resources that are always changing... and true the "wealth" they generate attract different interests... what a nightmare... the market is much smoother... And the more efficient you are at the game the bigger your impact... So if you are too efficient it becomes a fundamental problem... you could vacum the "game"... However I am strongly against your case of dying with lot of toys... It's much better to be born with lot of toys toys are for children And how could someone win a game, where the game is only in his head aka accumulating the maximum stuff ?
our biggest enemy is ourselves and our leaders who use us as puppets... there will be a war but it will be a war with ourselves. A war for water and resources.... peace
it is striking absurd how the status quo has been able to communicate so effectively a way-of-life that is built upon such shallow and empty foundations. but what really amazes me is how the vast majority of human beings has absolutely fell for it and follow it as a supreme quest to happiness.
As the Elite is more than one I don't see it fit with world monopoly... And as power is hard to share even more for power addicts... ahhhh the dream...
The emergence of the Middle Class was a compromise made to accommodate the benefits of free markets while not undermining European Kings/Lords. Free markets create wealth. That wealth creates power, which was essentially managed through the extension of credit. Or, in the old days, the granting of land, favors to the nobility (today's middle class). I agree. But when the Surfs and Nobility got too uppity, they changed the face of Brittania, didn't they? Since Corporations took control of America, they sought to abolish the Middle Class. Although originally, they were the engine of wealth creation, the Country was bought long ago with the very money they made. So we're no longer necessary. And we're also a threat. Which is why "they" have attacked Free Markets with such vengeance. To kill their competition.
True. Can't forget those crazy Ottomans either. They were sitting on a friggin goldmine for centuries! Also, to be fair, if it weren't the USA toppling regimes over there, it would likely have been someone else. And that someone else would be lording over us right now. As Asia grows economically, and oil, as a result, gets more expensive, it will start getting real ugly over there. I have been a critic of the neocons and GWB in the past... time may prove otherwise.
that's the problem of the war for the mind... it's illegal in my view. And totally uncompatible with the ideal of a free market. Where it's the products/services that make the trade off and not some kind of virtual mental reality created trough psywar and warpropaganda tacticts... It's just painfull to live in for everyone and distorts wrongly the market... by creating a perception opposed to a reality. Ads should be more informative and less subliminals...
Not quite. The Elite already own everything. What you refer to as the "status quo" was really just a temporary vehicle to consolidate wealth. That stage is done with. Now, "they" will destroy the free markets to ensure their competition can't follow them up the Bean Stalk. Controlling seigniorage rights in every major economy gives the Elite unlimited wealth backstopped by Law. What comes next is global "depopulation". Remember, there are too many people in the world, after all....
