Creationist economics. The values of money.
In the graph, languages select according to its ‘affinity’ values the species reproduced in a given ecosystem. In the light ecosystem, the species who see better – felines, apes and eagles – become its top predators. In the verbal ecosystem, the people who speak better (priests and politicians) rule with laws. In the economic ecosystem the people who manage money and obey its values, multiplying its most expensive goods (weapons and informative software) survive and those species who have null value (life and nature) die away. Because the values of go(l)d and the ethic wor(l)ds of God are opposite, it is obvious that the selfish memes of metal and the world they cre(dit)ate is a Darwinian ecosystem that extinguishes life. Thus capitalism, the religion of Go(l)d, which must by dogma cre(dit)ate reality in the hands of a few ‘historic believers’, is bound to extinguish life and create the Earth of Metal. The expression of this truism of systems sciences and evolution is the word we live in…
Few people realize that ‘creationism’, the pseudo-science that affirms evolution to be wrong and the processes of creation of the Universe to be designed ‘intelligently’ by Yvwh, a God-Bush who spoke to a goat-keeper of the bronze age have triumphed in the field of Economics.
Indeed, what we call capitalism is merely Creationist Economics, a Biblical religion according to which ‘Go(l)d’, money must create or rather ‘cre(dit)ate’ reality with its ‘hidden values’, whatever they are (creationist economics does not want to know the ‘hidden values’ of go(l)d).
Those values are however all too evident to a systemic thinkers (the affinity and complementarity values that exist between money, a digital language made of informative metal, weapons (lineal, energetic metal) and machines (organic metal), which have the highest value in monetary terms, while life has the minimal value (minimal salary) and so they design the future accordingly, multiplying the products of the highest price (memes of metal) and debasing those of minimal value (human labor and life).
How money creates reality? With Credit. And here it enters the second element of creationist economics – the ideology of capitalism: credit must not be owned by the 99% of the people, by humanity and its governments but by the ‘Chosen of go(l)d’, the believers in the memes of the Bible, of go(l)d…
This of course, is no longer explained as Aaron, Calvin and Smith put it, in biblical, verbal terms, but with complex ‘economical laws’, mainly damned lies and statistics, which cover up with a certain rationality as ‘Intelligent design’ does, the religious nature of Creationist economics, treated elsewhere in this web. Here we shall deal merely on how a language ‘creates the future’. Since indeed money ‘cre(dit)ates the future of this planet’ and selects its species; but not with an ‘intelligent design of Yvwh’ that justifies the monopoly on its cre(dit)ation that in the Western World have the biblical people and in the East, their ‘selfish memes’ today converted in the ideology of classic economics, but with the laws of evolution.
How an organic system ruled by a language of information creates the future.
One of the key questions about any ecosystem or organism is how it is created.
And the answer is through the code of information, the language that regulates all the cells of the organism.
What this means is that History and the economic ecosystem are also created by a language. And it is so, through the 2 languages that organize those super-organisms:
The forms and institutions of history are created through laws and verbal orders, which organize human beings.
The forms and institutions of the economy are cre(dit)ated, created through the laws and orders given with money.
economics is thus different from History, because in History we bonded together with ethic wor(l)ds, laws and religious ideals, using our natural language in which the syntax man (subject) <verb (action) < object (energy) always put man at the center of the Universe. In history we were the measure of all things.
In economics however, money which was a piece of informative metal, gold or silver or recently when the gold standard disappeared, e-money, bits of information in a computer mind, could be exchanged in equal conditions with men and objects. So this language and its values, man=object=price, were somehow diminishing of our place in the Universe. As an object we could be bought for a price, money, first as slaves, then as part time slaves with a salary. And so as the language of money substituted the language of words and occupied most of the actions in this planet, the world switched from one ecosystem dominated by history into an ecosystem dominated by economics.
This is what people seem to forget. That during most of its awaken time they follow economical orders, not historical (political, religious, social) orders and so they do not live in a democracy, an accessory system, which hardly rules our lives except in the free time we do not spend working and with our family (in which case we are ruled by biological mandates proper of all living beings). We live in a complex system ruled by money and the nature of that complex system is what this web unveils with the laws of… complexity.
Indeed, any ecosystem is ruled by a language of information whose syntax defines the actions performed under its orders. When we follow the orders of money we follow the previous syntax, man=price=object.
What this means is that we compete constantly in equal conditions with objects in fields of work (industrial system) and in fields of war (military system) as soldiers killed by weapons and workers subject to a self-similar monetary equation, productivity = capital/labor. When capital=machines are better than us, we labor are displaced because there are not ethical, verbal values that tell us we are superior to machines due to thsoe ethical values and we cannot be fired. When we are killed by a weapon, we are not told this is wrong, but simply a machine has efficiently consumed us.
However one of the fundamental tenants of complexity, is that the system is far more complex than its parts. By this, we mean that the parts obey the ‘language of information’ – the cells its nervous orders, the human its monetary orders – without ever realizin of what the whole is, what all the parts are constructing. The parts have a role but they ignore the whole. The cells do not know they are part of the organism of life which has its own goals and purpose; and humans ignore all about the complex system they are creating with money, weapons and machines they reproduce in labor fields and consume in war fields.
And that is why we need complexity as a science, because all those systems are self-similar and we can therefore explain what the ‘market’ where we live and labor most of our awakening time is constructing with money, weapons and machines: a super-organism; the most complex, powerful and efficient superorganism ever created on planet Earth, the financial->military->industrial complex, in which money (The financial system), under the laws derived of its syntactic capacity to value all what exists in this planet, construct according to those values a military-industrial complex, in which humans have 2 purposes: to work=reproduce the machines of that complex, and to consume=vitalize and evolve those machines.
Further on in complexity we know that all systems are complementary, with 2 fundamental social classes – those who invent and control the language of information of the organism and those who obey it.
In verbal, historic societies, politicians and priests were traditionally on top because they created the legal or ethic words that controlled society. And they are still on top but we hardly obey them for most of our daily existence. Reason why they hardly create the future. In fact, politicians since the XIX century depend in great measure of the credit that those who invent money give them in the form of bonds to carry out wars or depend on the money they extract from people forcefully called taxes to pay for services they provide.
So what matters truly to understand the future is the syntax of money and the informative caste which invents it.
This explains the importance of the role of the Am Segullah, which invented money in the past; today the role of the speculator, which in Wall Street is called the Master of the Universe.
Because indeed he anticipate and cre(dit)ates the future, creates the organism of the economy, with orders given with money.
In a real democracy, this role would be performed by the government freely elected by the people, but that is not the case in an stockracy, the system in which we live.
In our system however there is a simple, clear class structure, based in the 3 classes of all organisms, in which the upper caste is no longer the political or religious caste, as in historic cultures but the caste of speculators that create money with financial and monetary instruments.
The ‘government’ of the ‘Free Market’ are the institutions that issue=invent money. Stock market companies design the world, ‘cre(dit)ating’ it. They give ‘credit’, salaries which are monetary ‘orders’ that all people obey. To cre(dit)ate is a new word that expresses the fact that in a Free Market, in an economic ecosystem, the dominant language of power is no longer the law, but money. Thus, those who invent money, those who have ‘credit’, create, ‘creditate’ reality with it. Despite the common belief that most people hold, men don’t create the future in Free Markets through a democratic, voting exercise, which chooses a party/government to direct society towards the goals expressed in its political program. Instead the flows of credit of the economic system decide the prices and jobs, which transform the world. . .
Money and prices rule people all the time they work and the time they acquire/consume an object sold by the market, which is at least 90% of their living times. . . Hence money creates the world in that 90% of our existential times through orders giving by stock-market corporations, which create=credit most of the new paper-money invented in the economic ecosystem. For that reason events like a stock-market crash, which influences the money companies invent and hence the prices, salaries and flows of work and consume on planet Earth, are more important to understand the future than the choice of a president . . .
Because money is today the only language of power, those who invent money control societies. And today, financial and stock-companies invent most money under laws of deficit zero that oblige governments to tax citizens to obtain it. Thus, we affirm that we live in a Free Market in which the only free ‘individuals’ are companies and so the future is designed by the wanting of companies not the desires of human beings. But what a company wants? The answer is surprisingly simple: to reproduce and to evolve its product, normally a machine, its energy or its information (+80% of stock market companies). Thus, the re=production of machines and its sale to obtain benefits becomes the real objective of Market Democracies and by extension of all the human beings submitted to them.
Which means that the goals of humans, which try to improve their happiness, welfare and survival through the reproduction and possession of goods positive for their life, will not be met in a Free Market in all cases in which they conflict with the reproduction and sale of machines, given the scarcity of financial and material resources this planet has and the monopoly of those resources achieved by company-mothers in our societies. In fact, approximately 80% of stock-market investment goes to the production and evolution of machines not to the production of such positive Human Goods. Thus, the well-being of man, which should be the main goal of real democracies, such as those that appeared in Northern Europe after II W.W., becomes a utopia. While Welfare policies disappear, because companies have won the battle for credit to democratic governments.
