Profit, and Scarcity

My new found zeal for economic discussion stems not from a sense of patriotism but a sense of dispossession of my own inherent value. This mercantile monetary system that rules the globe did not come about overnight. It has been passed generation by generation over the ages through deceit deception and disorder. My own intrinsic interest in the cosmos and generation of the galaxy guides my logic to understand that everything and everyone is inter-connected. We all came from the stars, and we're all here. That should mean something.

So when I discuss the theft of my own value, I symbiotically address the value of existence. Religion, money, institutions and self worth de-value the world and existence. The world could be full of unconditional love if the weight of these conditions and their determination to preserve themselves were lifted from our reality.

But instead of being able to have full possession of our own time, we are enslaved by these apocalyptic horsemen to our own demise. We are devoid of a truer human existence and are forced into sheepdom by these irrelevant forces.

The universe is emergent. That is to say that it is constantly changing and expanding. As we are all part of the universe should we not be emergent as well? Instead we are forced into a static existence. Instead we are taught to chisel away at others, compete against them in the work place, and in the most extreme cases hate and damage them. Because we were given a name, taught how to be humanistic and infused with a belief system all by the age of 4.

The maximization of profits is the manifesto of any monetary system. To sustain the enterprise and value the enterprise over all other commodities either inanimate, automated or human.

This is the main reason why all financial systems fail. Because to maximize profitability you have to suppress abundance and productivity.

When you let profits rule judgments you get scarcity. It's that simple. There is no happy medium. That's not what the enterprise wants. It doesn't want a happy medium, it wants maximum profits.

The more goods and services there are, the less profit is made. That's a basic economic principle. You can learn that in any high school economics class. The more scarce something is the more profitable it is. So what benefit would there be in finding better ways to produce these things? There wouldn't unless it would increase profits. So instead of investing in technologies that make their products better they invest in those that automate the current process. Because a machine will work forever for free. Where as a slave er I mean man will not.

So you would think that corporations would strive to find better ways to make products, and better ways to engineer them. But instead they spend most of their time figuring out how to make their product more scarce. Diamond mines burn diamonds. Lumber companies don't plant as many trees, gasoline companies don't refine as much fuel as they did last year.

And everyone just accepts it. And it's really easy to accept the world as it is. There are a lot of great things about the current world. Route 44 Cherry Lime Aids, Roller Coasters, Race Cars, and Super Sonic Jets to name a few. But it's a tad scary to even imagine the un-corrupt un-inhibited world that we have been robbed of. The one where equality and un-division rule not because they're powerful but because they are the emergent ways to exist.

Maybe in that world, I could grow a beard.
