Your solution seems to be that “we should have more than one currency, and the first one should be a currency of knowledge, wisdom, information”, and that “we must take another direction and slow down”.
Arminius:
Apropos money: we should have more than one currency, and the first one should be a currency of knowledge, wisdom, information.
Arminius:
Due to the fact that the money economy, also known as monetarism or finance, is too much in line with energetic resources we would have a very much better economy, if it were more in line with knowledge, wisdom, information than with energetic resources.
Another point is the relation of production and reproduction. All fertility rates have to be almost equal, and after that not before and during that) the rich and the poor will also become more equal, not equal - because that is impossible -, but relaitively equal. That is a fair deal. Else the result will be: Stone Age or even extinction!
But the more the machines are successful the more the human beings are threatened with extinction.
So we have three great modern human erros or mistakes: 1. ) the disproportionate and thus wrong/false input of machines; 2. ) the disproportionate and thus wrong/false demographic policy (population policy); 3. ) the disproportionate and thus wrong/false concentration on energetic resources (instead of knowledge, wisdom, information) by the money economy.
Arminius:
Hyperbolism, hedonism, utilitarianism, individualism and all the other nihilisms are those problems, which became as much bigger as the attempt to control them in order to prevent chaos, anarchy, and - last but not least - overthrow, downfall. It’s a vicious circle.
So a solution of the three great modern human erros or mistakes seems to be impossible: 1. ) the disproportionate and thus wrong/false input of machines; 2. ) the disproportionate and thus wrong/false demographic policy (population policy); 3. ) the disproportionate and thus wrong/false concentration on energetic resources (instead of knowledge, wisdom, information) by the money economy.
No one wants to take responsibility!
Arminius:
Why is there this huge disproportion between (1. ) machines and humans to the disadvantage of humans, (2. ) population of poor and population of rich countries to the disadvantage of about 99% of all humans; (3. ) energetic resources and other resources to the disadvantage of non-energetic resources?
The first impression may be that there is no disadvantage of humans (=> 1. ), of about 99% of all humans (=> 2. ), of non-enegertic resources (=> 3. ), but is that really true? The paradox is that the past, present, and some of the future advantages will change to disadvantages in the (long run) future. So we can call this “advantages” as “short advantages”, or as “pretended advantages”, or even as “disadvantages” because the prize is to high, and the prize has to be paid by all
So if we want to keep wealth, we have to correct the three great modern human errors or mistakes (=> 1. , 2. , 3. ). The only alternative to that correction is the extinction of all humans.
We must take another direction and slow down.
