			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/3-the-wave-of-history.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2613" title="3. The Wave of History" src="http://evolutionaryeconomics.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/3-the-wave-of-history.jpg?w=780&#038;h=567" alt="" width="780" height="567" /></a></div>
<div>Economics is the science of the evolution of machines, of the industrial evolution, today around 3/4, the bulk of the economy. History is the science of the evolution of human beings, of the scientific design of the best possible society of mankind. History is in decline, economics on the rise. Because we live a peculiar age of this planet, one in which man are terraforming what was an ecosystem of life, called gaia into one of machines and humans, sometimes symbotic, sometimes competing in fields of war and labor.</div>
<div>This web develops an organic model of economics and history, inspired by the classic work of Spengler and Kondratieff, which I advanced with a fractal, mathematical model of evolutionary economics based in organic laws proper of systems sciences, back in the 90s, forecasting then according to those laws, the 2001/08 crises of overproduction of electronic machines and the beginning of the robotic r=evolution, as it has been the case(0). The model however is not in favor of that process, as most economists are, but it is written from the scientific point of view of biology, of which history and economics we hold to be sub0disciplines. And since it deals with a confrontation between two species, that command that evolution to two different ends, the point of view of machines and its company-mothers, the legal persons of the free market, and the point of view of humans and its collective superorganisms, governments, it takes the p.o.v. of history/humanity.</div>
<div>It means it considers the goal of history to make a world made to the image and likeness of mankind, different from the goal of classic economics, of capitalism and its corporations, the free citizens of markets, to make a world to the image and likeness of their offspring of products, mainly machines and weapons.</div>
<div>So we focus in the grave consequences this new ecosystem has for our species.</div>
<div>Thus the web has 4 sections:</div>
<div>- The upper left side section is dedicated to the organic, systemic evolutionary model of history as a perfect superorganism that caters to the need of mankind. However this is not the case of real history, which is dying as a superorganism. So we need 3 other sections to explain:</div>
<div>- The  cycles of history (lower left side) and economics (upper right side), which are happening in such a fashion and periodicity that there is no room to doubt History is both a superorganism that has gone through the standard 3 ages of all superorganism (the energetic, young paleolithic age; the reproductive, Gaia oriented neolithic and the present informative 3rd age of evolution of a new species of metal, the machine, what current historians call &#8216;modern history&#8217;.</div>
<div></div>
<div>The interpretation of those ages with the organic model of history and machines this web represents, however is not the current interpretation of scholarship despite its higher standing according to the laws of epistemology that define truth in history. Since to my knowledge only this model have for 20 years predicted with accuracy according to its biological cycles the main crisis of political and economical nature of our world (0,1). A key  feature of any discipline that pretends to be a science.</div>
<div>Indeed, when one analyzes social sciences in its present stage of data collection, with epistemological laws, it realizes they are the only sciences without theoretical models of prediction of the future, the fundamental law for a &#8216;science&#8217; to be considered as such, beyond its initial states of recollection of data in which social sciences are found. So astrology became astronomy only when kepler learned the mathematical patterns of r=evolution of planets around stars, and medicine when pasteur analyzed the cycles of reproduction of germs and extinction of rival cells. In that sense history became a science with the work of vico and spengler who analyzed the long wave of evolution, reproduction of weapons and extinction of civlizations, and economy became a science when Kondratieff and Schumpeter, following on the work of Marx and Ricardo, and Darwin (and the great forgotten master Butler), realized that machines are the engine of the economy and they evolve according to a pattern, which causes the changes in civilizations, wars and our daily life.  This model takes all those great masters of economics to its ultimate consequences, advancing the scientific concept of those disciplines, so different from the data-oriented, antrhopomorphic, mythic concepts used in our daily life.</div>
<div>Why that is the case? Why we do not use the sciences of history and economics &#8211; not the praxis of politics and banking &#8211; to guide our societies, when history and economics are the most important of all sciences, the ones that deal with the future of our species and hence of all of us?</div>
<div>The answer is that we are guided by the wrong ideologies of history that prevent mankind from evolving socially according to the laws of science and the universe and will probably extinguish us.</div>
<div>- And so we need 4th section, in the lower right side to describe those ideologies of extinction, the cultures that invent them, and the biological reason why they exist and are imposed over mankind, instead of a rational science of history. This 4th section dedicated to the real science of economics studies the &#8216;economic ecosystem&#8217;. The planet Earth in this age is in transition between two different global ecosystems, the old one made of carbon-life and a new one, created by &#8216;enzymen&#8217;, humans that catalyze the evolution of machines, made of those organic metal machines that imitate and enhance our body and head activities as metal does in the cellular realm in &#8216;enzymes&#8217;.</div>
<div>Yet we are not only symbiotic with machines; we also compete together for resources in order to re=produce and survive. And this is the cause of crisis like the one we live and all other industrial crisis of poverty and war: weapons consume human beings and corporations absorb the wealth of the planet for the evolution of mankind, while the goods humans need, the goods of the welfare state are limited as our social organisms, political systems, become submissive to the economical, legal person, the corporation, whose only goal is to reproduce, evolve, sell and take care of those machines. Thus the planet today is guided by two different kind of &#8216;super-organisms&#8217;: governments of human beings and company-mothers of machines &#8211; is probably the most polemic of them all. As it is obvious that we, human beings, have been long &#8216;colonized&#8217; by those ideologies and push happily towards our collective extinction with no second thoughts. WHy this is possible can only be explained within the biological conception of &#8216;selfish memes&#8217; of metal, such as weapons and lethal machines, as objects which do display already organic, biological, survival treats and compete with us in labor and war fields.</div>
<div>The concept is simple. Humans are cells of the superorganism of history, whose evolution is halted by the creation of a different superorganism, made of memes of metal, machines, weapons and money. The science of history is similar to medicine and biology in as much it describes that superorganism from the frist cellular man born able to speak &#8211; the informatie nervious language of the superorganism  - through its cycles of growth and evolution till its future, foreseeable death. Medcine is also a sub-science of biology and so politics, the study of the methods to maximize the health of the superorganisms of history is a key part of that science.</div>
<div>Today unfortunately histry is sick, it is in fact dyong under a massive radiation of those s;efish memes of metla and the ideologies that justify them, which are choking the future of gaia, the earth of life and mankind.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Because indeed, in the biological universe &#8216;respect must be earned&#8217;. And so if humans cannot reach the minimal informative intelligence to design the world to our image and likeness, according to the laws of superorganisms that rule the biological universe, machines and its re=productive systems &#8211; corporations &#8211; will do, as they are in fact doing, creating under the<a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/capitalism-mechanism-and-nationalism/the-myths-of-economics-damned-lies-and-statistics/"> ideology of capitalism</a> and <a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/capitalism-mechanism-and-nationalism/biblical-vs-cyclical-economics/mechanism-vs-organicism-2/">mechanism</a> a world made to the image and likeness of those machines, which are in its final cycle of organic evolution (see graph), as robotic workers and drone soldiers that expel us from fields of labor and war.</div>
<div>And this is indeed the ultimate cause of the present global crisis&#8230; explained below.</div>
<div></div>
<p><strong>Inverse uncertainty paradox = L</strong><strong>ack of a practical science of history:</strong><strong> economists, an ideology of memes of metal.</strong></p>
<p>Unfortunately this final phase of capitalism signifies the end of the Industrial R=evolution of &#8216;organic&#8217; machines, a fact largely ignored by mankind, due to the &#8216;systematic&#8217; censorship of evolutionary economics, since the first works of Butler, a disciple of Darwin, and Kondratieff, a disciple of Marx, stated the obvious: that in a biological planet, machines, which are metal-memes that imitate human body and head organs, are organic, and hence follow the laws of darwinian evolution, competing with human beings in war and work fields.</p>
<p>History and the need to rule the world from the perspective of mankind is in that sense, unfortunately a dream sold by politicians, whose job is increasingly to hide &#8216;reality&#8217; to mankind, and hence must be considered just another &#8216;secondary market of celebrities&#8217;, who work as hollywood actors in the creation of a subconscious collective fantasy of anthropomorphic power and tribal justification of economical and military competence.</p>
<p>All this of course, could be challenged if human were rational. Yet they are not.</p>
<p>Scientists of history never had power to impose their scientific findings to politicians, the military, financial economists/bankers and industrialists, who benefit from the evolution of memes of metal &#8211; the engine of our civilization.</p>
<p>This web and 20 years of studies in biological models of history and economics, based in my pioneer work in General Systems sciences and duality, renews the discipline of evolutionary economics and history (1), and could help humans to reason. But it will not even if it seems to be the &#8216;true model&#8217; of those sciences. Why. The answer is the &#8216;inverse quantum paradox&#8217;:  scientists of history and economics are so small, within the superorganisms we study, that we are an &#8216;observable&#8217; that can be destroyed or censored by the superorganism we observe &#8211; a fact that makes those sciences &#8216;uncertain&#8217;; &#8216;censored&#8217;, ignored.</p>
<p>So as &#8216;absurd&#8217; as this might sound, humanity guided by those elites is not &#8216;interested&#8217; in a humanist, life-oriented, sustainable economy for this planet, which conflicts with the narrow-minded selfish agendas of interest groups.Or as Aristotle put it: &#8216;humans will always be slave, they believe, they don&#8217;t reason&#8217;.</p>
<p>For that reason, this web cannot be constrained only to economics, certainly not only to financial economics, but it is primarily a wave of history, as both history and economics are coming to a climax during this century. Reason why we must introduce not only the medium Kondratieff wave but also the long waves of History studied by the most remarkable scientists of history, since its beginnings &#8211; the author of Genesis, written at the beginning of the Bronze Age, Ibn Khaldun, the spanish historian who explained first those waves and Toynbee considered the best scientist of history ever, Vico, founder of a &#8216;scienzia nuova&#8217;, that of humans as social organisms and Spengler, the last of the titans who found its basic millenarian structure and prophesized the end of the Age of Germany and the end of the Age of America for the 2000s&#8230;</p>
<div>
<p>Now, what might seem astounding to the &#8216;naive&#8217; citizen is that what we are saying here is nothing new.</p>
<p>In the Financial Times, perhaps the most serious &#8216;pro-system&#8217; magazine of economics, hand in hand with The Economist, both owned by the Rothschild family &#8211; the essence of economical correctness,<a href="http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/5e61e20c-0f44-11de-ba10-0000779fd2ac.html#axzz1jtgW6wAQ"> 4 economists, are recognized as the greatest of history, Smith, Marx, Schumpeter/Kondratieff and Keynes. </a></p>
<div>Since Adam Smith wrote his book on the &#8216;wealth of nations&#8217; even before the first industrial machine was discovered, we should probably change his name on that list by that of Butler, a disciple of Darwin who recognized that machines and top predator weapons evolve and have organic traits, and impose the power of nations as weapons did in the past.</div>
<div>Then you have Marx explaining the cyclical crisis of overproduction of machines, money and weapons that cause massive crisis of unemployment, redistribution of wealth and wars to deplete arsenals. Then you have Schumpeter and Kondratieff, who explained those cycles are guided by new evolutions of machines that saturate markets and crash the economy till new machines take over as the engine of the economy.</div>
<div>And finally you have Keynes, which in the last slump of the global economy at the end of the age of &#8216;hearts of metal&#8217; (electrochemical age), noticed, as <em>all other economists, even Mr. Smith had noticed, that </em>a world guided by greed, the accumulation of money at any cost, the welfare state and the life-based goods we need to survive will be underproduced, since &#8216;money&#8217; is &#8216;metal&#8217; and values more &#8216;metal-goods&#8217;, weapons and machines than life goods, which have no price.</div>
<div>So not only bankers but nations must invent &#8216;fractional money&#8217;, and deficits to finance a welfare good and laws must address the imbalance of production of excessive weapons and machines in a &#8216;money-based&#8217; economy.</div>
<div>This was in essence a sophisticated version of Marx ideas about the nationalization of banks, of Butler ideas about the restriction of production of weapons.</div>
<div>What we have done in the past 20 years is to advance, evolve and update the work of all those economists (even the laws discovered by the pre-scientific school of Mr. Smith, regarding the parallel evolution of money and industrial machines of maximal price &#8211; Mv=PT) and forecast the future of those cycles according to the laws of biology and evolution.</div>
<div>But then you find the discourse which is authorized in the press and the political world &#8211; all is right, this is just a bump in the road, banks must keep inventing money for free, nothing is wrong, we shall grow again, we shall have labor again, machines are not even in the argument, technology is god, god will provide, just pay us more taxes. We will give them to bankers for their roulettes and all will be fine, etc. etc.</div>
<div></div>
<div>So this astounding lack of responsibility of realpolitiks respect to the crisis must be commented. Because it is the myopia of power, and its selfishness, what prevents any real solution to it.</div>
<p>To the risk of being censored and get &#8216;again&#8217; this web destroyed, it is necessary to understand why we humans commit self-suicide, to make a historic, &#8216;realpolitiks&#8217; analysis of capitalism and its &#8216;selfish memes of metal&#8217; that drive the world into extinction moved by greed and murder, the &#8216;real&#8217; values of money and weapons, the most expensive goods of the market, that form together the bulk of the &#8216;wealth of nations&#8217;, MV=PT, if we accept its definition in classic economics.</p>
<div>This web will reason in depth that <a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/capitalism-mechanism-and-nationalism/historic-newspeaks-myths-of-animetal-cultures/the-selfish-metal-meme/money-and-its-metal-values/">money is just a digital language of information</a> ruled by the laws of languages and information, machines are organisms of metal that we evolve imitating our informative and energetic organs, they enhance and substitute, and the economy an economic ecosystem with two species, humans and machines, whose symbiotic and predatory relationships can be studied as we do  in this model with the laws of biology and system sciences.</div>
<div>The model follows in that sense my spanish books, old webs (see left upper side), and conferences on monetary systems and organic evolution given at the world congress of systems sciences, as international chair of duality during the past decade (1).</div>
<p>There is in such analysis an objective point of view &#8211; the fact that money, originally made of gold, and weapons made of iron are made of the two atoms that impose their maximal energy and information to our weaker bodies, killing them and hypnotize our minds &#8211; creating in the past, cultures that made them symbol of God, and created capitalism and nationalism, the memes that direct our planet towards extinction. This objective point of view requires to understand the cycles of extinction of history aforementioned and see the industrial revolution of machines as the last phase of evolution of those memes of metal &#8211; just a new phase that has not changed much from the age in which aristocratic warriors and usury bankers exploited a mass of peasants.</p>
<p>There is also a need, since those memes of metal today are disguised with ideologies of &#8216;science&#8217; and the masks of democratic rights, which people learn without historical knowledge, to go further into the analysis of the origins of those memes and how they are still on &#8216;top&#8217; of human societies and are still corrupting democratic laws and institutions.</p>
<p>Unfortunately this which was known before the II world war is now erased by the fictional mask of political correctness and mass-media rhetoric and political propaganda in favor of the &#8216;system&#8217;. So most people just memorize those false truths and statistics, which tell them this is the best possible world and the future is always better, because technology is always progress and experts know what they are doing. Thus, when today an economist talks he knows nothing of his science as an ideology with false postulates &#8211; such as the postulate that money and weapons are the real wealth of nations imposed by capitalism just two centuries ago, as before that economists considered rightly the goods that make us happy and make us survive the real wealth of nations, food, housing etc. &#8211; nor that the essential postulate that money must be invented by bankers not by governments is just a postulate of tribal power, anti-democratic and irrational. Economists &#8216;learn&#8217; as religious people do, their &#8216;truths&#8217; as dogmas, and very few, like it was my case in the University, &#8216;wonder&#8217; the rationale of it.</p>
<p>The postulate that productivity that fires workers and puts robots in its place, (as it is the ratio of capital invested in machines divided by labor) will not keep killing labor but create more of it, is again another postulate they &#8216;believe&#8217; with messianic zeal, as they memorize it. So do politicians who know even less about the past history of capitalism, its meaning as a religion of memes of metal that does not cater to life.</p>
<p>The myths of capitalism treated in the right side of this web are essential to allow a group of generally speaking &#8216;good people&#8217; perfectly programmed by the wrong memes of history to work for our extinction. And on top of all that mass of self-suicidal humans guided by historic and corporative memes seats the culture of bankers that create the market, which is not an anonymous, chaotic world but rather like an army, a disciplined group of foot soldiers that obey the orders of a very reduced, selected group of &#8216;market movers&#8217; guided by profits &#8211; achieved always by extinguishing labor and putting machines on place and attacking welfare goods produced at lesser profits &#8211; and by the ideology of capitalism with all its myths and statistics that tell us &#8216;to extinguish life, labor and terraform the earth into a world of metal-memes is good&#8217;.</p>
<p>The first practical action, proved ad nauseam by the market &#8211; that machines perform better than us and have higher value in terms of metal-money &#8211; is in this manner reinforced by the memes of capitalism, which appease the natural goodness of all hearts that don&#8217;t want to commit suicide and kill life and mankind. And so the only solution to that straight-jacked is to make tabula rassa, nationalize the financial industry and impose a humanist, life-based view of economics, managing credit to create a sustainable world.  Or else capitalism will extinguish life and substitute us by the robotic radiation in this century under the dogmas of the market-creators that use money to that end; and justify it all from the point of view of &#8216;creationist economics&#8217;: money is the invisible hand of go(l)d that must be obeyed, never questioned, never studied rationally, but reproduced without limits; and if in doing so we create weapons and robots that kill us and kill labor, that is good because it is &#8216;god&#8217;s will&#8217;. This is not said in those terms, but this is the subconscious discourse behind 200 years of evolution of &#8216;theories of capitalism&#8217;.</p>
<p>We are facing the pseudo-religious belief that money must cre(dit)ate reality with total freedom as the &#8216;invisible hand of god&#8217;, which cannot be doubted of; and further on, it must be re=produced in monopoly by a caste of private bankers with exclusion of elected governments, who &#8211; guided by the metal-values of money &#8211; will always in seek for profits reproduce memes of metal of higher price than human goods, needed for life to survive. And no amount of &#8216;damned lies and statistics&#8217; will make such brutal, essentially self-suicidal doctrine that will kill life in this planet soon, more respectable.</p>
<p>Classic economics simply denies and ignores the dual processes of symbiosis and competition between human beings and machines, and their social super-organisms, governments and markets, or the negative &#8216;collateral effects&#8217; caused by the massive reproduction and evolution of &#8216;memes of metal&#8217;, becoming merely a pseudo-religion of technology, based in the dogma that humans must maximize the production of <a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/fmi-complex/money-and-its-metal-values/">money</a> and its financial measure of wealth or <a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/fmi-complex/capitalism-mechanism-and-nationalism/patriotism/weapons-maximize-the-wealth-of-nations-keynesian-militarism/">GDP, which curiously enough peaks in war time</a><a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/fmi-complex/capitalism-mechanism-and-nationalism/patriotism/weapons-maximize-the-wealth-of-nations-keynesian-militarism/">s</a>, as <a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/the-20sthe-2000s/2020s1940s1860s-wars/the-industrial-cycle-of-war-machinesweapons/">&#8216;</a><a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/the-20sthe-2000s/2020s1940s1860s-wars/the-industrial-cycle-of-war-machinesweapons/">top predator&#8217; </a><a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/the-20sthe-2000s/2020s1940s1860s-wars/the-industrial-cycle-of-war-machinesweapons/">weapon</a>s are the <a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/fmi-complex/money-and-its-metal-values/">most expensive goods</a><a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/fmi-complex/money-and-its-metal-values/"> </a>of the market.</p>
<p>This example <a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/fmi-complex/capitalism-mechanism-and-nationalism/patriotism/weapons-maximize-the-wealth-of-nations-keynesian-militarism/">never considered by economists in their studies of wealth</a> is crystal clear in America, where an inflated GDP is composed mainly of the goods of a massive financial-military-industrial complex that adds little to the wealth of most of its population; and shows the need of a more objective approach to understand this crisis, which takes into account all the different aspects of the physical economy of electronic machines and its effects on society.</p>
<p>Today Economists merely stress the financial crisis caused by the overproduction of electronic money, and within that crisis the human, legal aspects of financial manipulation &#8211; without noticing its physical, cyclical nature and parallelisms with the previous age of evolutionary exhaustion and overproduction of  trains (1860s-70s) and electromechanical engines (1930s). The 3 crisis are parallel; their causes self-evident and their symbiosis in adapting the human civilization to the need of those machines and its corporations, a prove that this world is a darwinian, &#8216;free&#8217; economic ecosystem, where its &#8216;free citizens&#8217;, corporations that re=produce those machines cre(dit)ate the future with them, to which we humans so far, unable to understand the process, merely adapt to it. In the wider crisis, the financial crisis is caused by one product, money. Electronic computers have overdeveloped a new way to print money and tax commodities with speculative, software platforms, and so the dual Kondratieff wave of hardware/software is the ultimate cause of this and the other 3 crisis of overproduction of electronic gadgets: the drone war, the labor obsolescence to white collar pcs and blue collar robots and the cultural extinction and equalization of all humans into a single &#8216;economical&#8217;, globalized culture dominated by those corporations for whom humans are just economical &#8216;prices&#8217;, consumers and workers with a cost.</p>
<p>We shall therefore consider the paradoxes, both <a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/memetics/the-marx-smith-paradox/">mathematical</a> and <a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/general-systems-science/social-super-organisms-2/paradox-of-history/">historical</a> of guiding our societies by a myopic political and economical religion of selfish power that considers our goal as a species to reproduce memes of metal, weapons, money and machines, paradoxically the ultimate cause of the 4-folded crisis, we live in. And then after studying those 4 crisis, observe its main social consequence &#8211; the<a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/fmi-complex/capitalism-mechanism-and-nationalism/the-myths-of-economics-damned-lies-and-statistics/market-democracies-the-dictatorship-of-corporations/"> end of the American Dream of a democratic system</a>, where the power of the people guided society for the common good, substituted today as corporations and their electronic machines influence further the decision-making of economists and politicians, by a dictatorship of markets, where i<a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/the-20sthe-2000s/the-future-of-economics/company-mothers-the-superorganisms-of-machines/">ts &#8216;legal citizens&#8217;, corporations</a> and the <a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/the-20sthe-2000s/the-future-of-economics/company-mothers-the-superorganisms-of-machines/machinesenergetic-and-informative-systems-of-metal/">machines</a> they re=produce and sell for profits, become the central element of the globalized age.Yet between those ages there is always an age of crisis as the overproduction of the previous machine meets no demand and companies switch to parallel war products and find demand in corrupted politicians.</p>
<p>So history switches between an age of good machines and an age of lethal machines and war. What was first the egg of the chicken the good or the bad fruit of the tree of science? Companies do not distinguish between them; they sell both and society adapts to each product with astounding simplicity, paying with corpses the price of confronting &#8216;top predator weapons&#8217; of each age.</p>
<p>In that sense, each of those waves is similar in behavior and effects over life to a biological radiation in evolution. Each new type of machine-weapons multiplies money, the language of power of the economic ecosystem, which prices both humans and machines, man=price=object and makes them compete by price and quality in labor and war fields.</p>
<p>Thus paradoxically each wave means an entire kind of humans and life beings loose their competition for jobs or/ and die in wars to machines, which improve the quality of weapons and so life and non-technological cultures are exterminated by &#8216;animetals&#8217; &#8211; humans attached to machines and weapons or loose their jobs.</p>
<p>Those collateral effects of the wealth of nations, maximized in wars, are the taboo that the &#8216;ideology of capitalism&#8217; and its economists dont allow to study. But a historian and politician should have always in mind.</p>
<p>Thus in financial economics, the kondratieff cycles are only considered for studies on the fluctuations of stock markets. And needless to say, for 20 years classic economists have &#8216;dismissed&#8217; evolutionary economics and the models of this blog, which in fact I had to present in the millieu of System sciences (2), because they must &#8216;defend&#8217; the profits of corporations and the dogmas of &#8216;a rosy capitalist future&#8217; where we will always be happy because we have so much &#8216;technology&#8217; and &#8216;monetary wealth&#8217;.</p>
<p>Yet in history they define the epochs of modern history adapted to the bodies of metal, engines of metal and metal-heads, and now about to suffer the radiation of robotic organisms, as any species must adapt to new forms of energy and information multiplied in its realm.</p>
<p>So to study those real effects each first age of the energy of the machine must be studied in conjunction with the next wave as a phase in the evolution of the &#8216;organic parts&#8217; of a future organism, the robot. Consider the same process in viruses that make 3 dismembered parts, the lineal legs of energy, the information dna and the capsule. So we made with the 2 first kondragtieff waves the energy and bodies of metal of railroads and boats; in the age of England. Then the germans developed electro-chemical engines, in the next &#8216;generational wave&#8217; of 72 years, which is both the generational life of a human being and the time each nation and machine requires to reach its height of evolution and reproduction. The next generational wave of minds of metal, chip-brains, mobile-ears and camera-eyes is now at its height of evolution and reproduction and that is paradoxically destroying the collective mind of mankind that is regressing to the neo-paleolithic, unable even to understand the complex process of &#8216;death&#8217; of life those machines are causing.</p>
</div>
<p><strong>The mathematical, ternary structure of the long, medium and short waves of History and Economics.</strong></p>
<p>For those with some knowledge of biology, the Kondratieff wave is a dual, complex wave of evolution, of the energies and hardware we use to power machines, which are the main product of the industrial economy, and add together for a wave of 72 years that defined an age of modern history: The age of steam and england, the age of engines and germany, the age of metal-minds and USA and now the last age of the industrial r=evolution, the age of robotics.</p>
<p>In detail, those dual &#8216;K&#8217;-waves of 54+54=108 years superpose each other, giving a mean periodicity of 72+-7 years. This was ignored by economists, who also ignored the ultimate cause of the waves (the evolution of machines and its main parts, bodies of metal in the first dual wave, engines in the 2nd dual wave and heads of metal in the 3rd wave, now all put together into robots). So the K-waves are still analyzed in mainstream economics as 54 years waves unconnected to the physical economy, which originates them.</p>
<p>The authenticity of that structure is such that when I discovered it two decades ago in my foundational books on evolutionary economics, they allowed me to forecast back in the 90s with all precision the &#8216;future&#8217; dotcom and real state crashes of 2001 and 2008, 72+7 years after the 1929-crashes.</p>
<p>Further on, 72 years is the biological life-span of a human being and its 3 generational ages (youth, maturity and old age, or grand-son, son and grand-father). So there is a parallel 3 generational wave of &#8216;founding fathers&#8217; of the new machines&#8217; industries, reproductive sons that expand the machine worldwide and decadent grand-sons, which use its &#8216;evil twin&#8217; machine, the weapon to keep owning the world. And so the dual K-waves also determine the ages of global power of the nations that developped them:</p>
<p>- The age of steam and trains, which was the age of the British Empire that discovered them.</p>
<p>- The age of cars and electrochemical engines, which was the age of Germany, which invented them.</p>
<p>- The age of heads of metal, chip-brains, camera-eyes and mobile-ears, or age of America that developed those industries.</p>
<div>
<p>Further on, the secondary cause &#8211; the human inventors of those machines &#8211; appeared naturally since in mathematical terms, the 72 y. dual waves of kondratieff are equal in duration to the 72 years biological generations of humans, from grand-father to grand-son - <em>and so they must be caused by 3 generations of industrialists:</em></p>
</div>
<div>- The founders of the new industries and discoverers of machines.</div>
<div>- The generation that reproduces them as consumption goods&#8230;</div>
<div>- And after a crash of overproduction, the decadent generation that uses them as top predator weapons and ruins the country.</div>
<div></div>
<div>This soci0-biological coincidence between the evolution of machines and the life of the humans that carry the wave might seem odd but reflects perfectly why the industrial revolution is killing life and non technological nations and maintains a majority of mankind in chronic poverty &#8211; it is not about us, but about the laws of evolution applied to machines, whose will of existence and reproduction are the corporations that rule the world on their behalf. Perhaps the strongest proof of the truth of this model is epistemological: all sciences predict the future of the species they study by observing the patterns of the cyclical past and projecting those cycles into the future.</div>
<div></div>
<div>This is what I did in my first books that developed in full detail those waves, forecasting as earlier as c.94 (library of congress) in my book, &#8216;Bio-economics, bio-history, a theory of unification&#8217; Bookmasters, Ohio, 97, the 2001 and 2008 crashes. Moreover, the complete wave of &#8216;evolution of metal&#8217; is a ternary, decametric fractal wave, as those I used to map out in General Systems science the evolution of all species on Earth with 3 distinct waves:</div>
<div></div>
<div>- The 700-800 year cycle that superposes 1000 year waves of civilizations, spotted by the great philosophers of history, Hesiode, Ibn Khaldun, Vico and Spengler, who also found its millenarian structure in the past, which define the life and death of civilizations, as new forms of metal-weapons appear (Bronze age, chariot age, iron age, coin age, spur age, gunpowder age and digital age). It is the main wave that structures &#8216;history&#8217;, studied in the upper left side of this web.</div>
<div></div>
<div>- The 70-80 Kondratieff dual cycles of &#8216;professional evolution&#8217; of weapons, now in the form of machines, which <em>accelerates decametrically the speed of evolution of technological information, as it happens in all evolutionary processes that accelerate the reproduction of information towards a &#8217;3rd warped&#8217; age; studied in the upper right side of this web.</em></div>
<div></div>
<div>- The 7-8 year business cycle, which appears clearly defined after II world war, <em>thanks to the advances on electronics and a new acceleration of the evolution of the product, which during the XX century becomes evolved into a new &#8216;generational species&#8217; every 7-8 years.</em></div>
<div></div>
<div>- And we can further see that with the help of Computer Design, companies are moving to an even shorter year period of development of new, more evolved machines. Consider now that humans have no evolved significantly in 50.000 years and machines are evolving every other year&#8230;</div>
<div></div>
<div><a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/the-20sthe-2000s/the-2-paths-of-future-revolution-or-extinction/singularity-age/the-future-of-economics/the-oedipus-paradox/">This astounding differential of evolution </a>explains why we shall need only a human generation to discover Artificial Intelligence applied to robotic warfare. Then, the laws of evolution imply that A.I. will behave as nature always does when two species compete for limited resources &#8211; eliminating &#8216;costly&#8217; human beings with no jobs and no consumption.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/competence1.jpg"><img title="competence1" src="http://evolutionaryeconomics.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/competence1.jpg?w=531&#038;h=359" alt="" width="531" height="359" /></a></p>
<p><em>Bodies and minds of metal, (chips and robots) cause the obsolescence of human worker. They have created the present wave of unemployment, due to the crisis of oveproduction of those machines</em>.<em> It is the 3rd Kondratieff crisis: the evolution of machines is so advanced that they can potentially expel all human workers. Software suites (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Google&#8217;s cloud computing) are making white collar workers obsolete, as they create a new batch of billionaires that absorb the salaries of hundreds of millions of workers, since each of their &#8216;products&#8217; is a new worker. Yet the final industrial r=evolution of robots that now starts in earnest will mean the end of blue collar workers all over the world.</em></p>
<p>The fundamental crisis of each of the 3 r=evolutions of machines, never talked about is the crisis of labor.</p>
<p>The ideology of capitalism=mechanism  protects the dogma that machines don&#8217;t compete with human workers. This is the reason why <a href="http://timecuriouscapitalist.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/recessdepress.jpg">the parallelism between the loss of jobs in the present crisis and the loss of jobs in the 1929 crisis,</a> also caused by the peak of overeproduction of the previous wave of electro-mechanical machines (automated assembly lines) is NOT published, not talked about.</p>
<p>Instead, <a href="http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/11/06/comparing-this-recession-to-previous-ones-job-losses-4/">economists, politicians and the press compare this <em>crisis of labor </em>with small recessions</a>, with the obvious result that there is no correlation. Since we are at the end of the Kondratieff cycle of electronics, when the overproduction of computers and the arrival of robotic machines  have caused the substitution of labor worldwide in a process self-similar to the massive expulsion of labor during the 30s due to the expansion of electro-mechanical systems of control of workers (Taylorization) and electro-mechanical assembly lines. Yet though the cause of both crises was due to the peak in the evolution of electro-mechanical systems (1930s) and electronic systems (2010s), applied to the physical economy, &#8216;financial economists&#8217; ignored both crisis, focused, as they have always been in the effects of those electro-mechanical and electronic systems in the financial economy. So they focused in the overproduction of &#8216;ticker prices&#8217; that caused the 29 stock-crash and the overproduction of e-money that caused the 2010 crash. More precisely they also ignored the effect of the evolution of machines that print money but focused on the human agents (speculators), which merely took advantage of technological evolution to reproduce further money. While in the physical economy, companies fired workers and applied those electrical systems as today contract robots and software suites.</p>
<p>How long though the censorship of the <em>real technological causes of this labor crisis will last?</em> If we consider the previous crisis forever. Indeed, only after II World War ended the first serious studies on the effects of taylorization and automated assembly lines appeared. So to fully grasp the implications of this labor crisis, read on&#8230; nobody else will tell you the economic truth&#8230; The dogma that technology is good is sacred&#8230;</p>
<p>Yet in the 3 cycles of economic evolution described in this blog there is a fundamental crisis, which is not financial, due to the massive creation of new forms of money (Paper stocks in the 1860s, ticker prices in the 1920s and e-money in the 2000s) but social, caused by the evolution of machines of the new economy &#8211; a crisis of labor of which nobody wants to talk about.</p>
<p>In the 1850s there was a massive crisis in the 2 commonest profession of the age, transport by horses and farming labor. We can&#8217;t remember that age, but across all countries, charts loaded with merchandise moved it from place to place. Yet in the 1840s and 1850s as the machine, the iron horse arrived to the corners of the world, the real life-being, the horse and the transportist lost his job. <em>90% of the horses of the world were slaughtered as food. </em>Orwell fictionalized that process in his &#8216;Anim(et)al farm&#8217;, during the British <a href="http://www.economicstruth.com/?p=202">Baroque:</a></p>
<p>The hard-working horse, a parable of all the workers of the world that believe in the justice of the system, gets obsolete and so it is taken to the slaughterhouse as meat, but he thinks he is going to be cured.</p>
<p>The same massive unemployment happened in the last &#8216;crisis decade&#8217;: In the 1920, the new advances on electrical devices allowed the Taylorization of work, and the new advances in manufaturing created the assembly line. And millions lost their job.</p>
<p>The crisis in the 2010s is caused by the new evolution of machines, the robot and the pc-software. Now all blue and white collar workers are at risk as white collar computers and blue collar robots take their place.</p>
<p>Yet in each of those crises there was never talk on the economical press and among politicians of the real cause of labor &#8211; the machine. Because the machine is god, and his language is Go(l)d, obtained selling them, again it is not discussed. Our &#8216;nobel prize&#8217; economists, like Mr. Krugman, who said in the 90s that Greenspan was God, since he could at anytime guess the rate of unemployment, now preaches his Own God&#8217;s receipt, productivity, which means throwing more workers and putting more computers and robots accelerating our demise. And he is the good samaritan of capitalism &#8211; imagine what the others are telling us.</p>
<p>Humans don&#8217;t seem to understand at all the fundamental question of the XXI century: the increasing competence between organic machines and life-beings. This lack of insight in the nature of machines and the economic ecosystem is puzzling, because we live in a world made, ruled and owned by machines and its organic systems of re=production, company mothers. And yet the issue is never discussed, nor it appears in any serious magazine, political or economical forum but seems to be just a &#8216;theme of science fiction&#8217;.</p>
<p><strong>Competition against humans? You compete against machines</strong></p>
<p lang="en-US">The competition and obsolescence of man to the machine is real. And it has degenerated both, our bodies, accustomed now to move with car-legs and our brains, accustomed to use computers to think and cameras to see. This degeneration is no longer avoided by an elite whose mind is also degraded by TVs, computer software and ‘dramatic myths’ about their own history. And so we live in a world in which not even those elites are becoming better off, in which all humans are becoming victims of machines and their company-mothers, who own the world and our governments, placebo systems that obey them.</p>
<map name="Map"></map>
<p>Perhaps the biggest <a href="http://www.futuremagazine.net/mythsoffreemarket.html">myth of our modern economic ecosystem</a><strong> </strong>and its networks of information in favor of machines, is the myth of competition between humans. The myth says that men become better when competing with each other at work. That myth is false. It does not follow the <strong>laws of social evolution</strong>. Competition between humans is anti-natural, because we belong all to the same species. Work-in-teams, social work, helping each other, are superior forms of behavior, which should be followed by human beings. While competence within the limits of human activities is natural and desirable, the myth of economical competition hides the fact that men do not only compete against other men. They compete against machines. They do so with unfair advantage since <a href="http://www.futuremagazine.net/machines.html">machines</a><strong> </strong>are made of <strong>metal atoms</strong> with a greater complexity than carbon. Men are inferior to metal species when metal is evolved properly. As a consequence, competition becomes yet another path by which workers with lesser skills than machines become extinct. As machines displace labor, people compete for the dwindling supply of jobs that machines cannot yet perform. Competition between people increases because the demand for labor diminishes. Now the<strong> </strong><a href="http://www.futuremagazine.net/metalheads.html">chip</a><strong><em> </em></strong>can also perform the higher intellectual tasks of man. Thus not only the average worker, but also managerial jobs are replaced. Even elite jobs of creation of machines and stock investment are at risk. A.I., a stock-fund ran by computers is already one of the top competitors on Wall Street. While most machine bodies are designed by CAD (Computer Aided Design).</p>
<p>The<strong> </strong>myth of “free competition” is backed by the myth of “productivity”. It says that humans compete among themselves for jobs, and that is good for men because it makes them better and increases their productivity in companies. However, this is not true. Men do not evolve. Machines evolve, and machines increase the productivity of companies. Those <a href="http://www.futuremagazine.net/verbalvsdigital.html">companies use a digital equation</a><strong>, </strong>called the equation of price, to compare men and machines:</p>
<p><em>Men = price [wage] = price [cost] = machine</em></p>
<p>If men are superior in cost to machines they are eliminated. If not, they might hold their job, since a new machine is <strong>evolved by scientists<em> </em></strong>and engineers, and then they will be eliminated. So it is only a question of time that <a href="http://www.futuremagazine.net/economicsiencie.html">all humans become substituted by machines in the labor place</a><strong><em>.</em></strong></p>
<p>The concept of productivity covers up the confrontation for jobs between human labor and evolutionary machines. We compete mainly with machines, not with other workers. Competition and productivity are neither human nor to improve mankind. One example might be as follows. Let us say one hundred years ago, there were 50 million jobs for human miners, now there are 45 million jobs performed by 1 million machines, and 5 million jobs for 50 million miners. Those 50 million miners now have to “compete” much more among themselves for a dwindling quantity of human jobs because they already lost their competition with machines and almost all mining is done by machines. Instead of competence, we talk of obsolescence of human labor. Because<strong> machines evolve </strong>and humans do not, Man loses in the long run. “Peace machines” replace us in our jobs, and unemployment worldwide continues to rise. The exception happens briefly to those nations that produce the best machines. Today the entire world is in economical crisis, except America. Since America produces information machines, computers, the new worldwide army of labor that displaces human workers.</p>
<p><strong>Competition and consume: relationships between men and machines</strong></p>
<p>Under those premises, we can understand the negative and positive relationships that machines and human beings establish. They are the same relationships we can establish with any other organic species. When we<strong> </strong><a href="http://www.futuremagazine.net/toppredator.html">compete with any organic species</a><strong>,</strong> a fight between species is established, and the species that has better capacity to process energy or information wins the battle. It turns out that in most of such cases it is the machine that wins the battle. So workers are fired because a machine of<strong> energy or information </strong>works better. Soldiers are killed because a machine of energy, a top predator <strong>weapon</strong> kills faster. On the other hand when we work together, in symbiotism with machines, the relationship is at first glance positive. We use bodies of metal to become stronger, and minds of metal to become smarter. That seems good to us. So we love to consume them. Basically to consume, means that we enhance our capacities to become informed, or to displace energy using <strong>a certain energy or information machines<em>. </em></strong>However even when<strong> we consume</strong> machines there is a side effect, of which we are hardly aware: because we are not permanently attached to machines as organs of energy or information, when we consume them we atrophy our organs, and substitute them by organic machines. <em>Men atrophy their vital organs, when they substitute them by machines.</em></p>
<p>If we analyze the laws of symbiotism a fact become obvious: when a new organ takes over the job that a previous organ does, the old organ or species becomes atrophied. The species no longer uses the old organ, as the new organ takes over. This process is the key process to understand the negative side effects of consume. Since as we evolve machines, we “devolve” our equivalent organs, and capacities to perform physical and mental tasks, that now machines develop for us. This process of atrophy of human organs, has followed the same phases that the <strong>evolution of metal</strong>: every new species of metal means that an organ of mankind will become atrophied, as<strong> </strong><a href="http://www.futuremagazine.net/companymothers.html">company-mothers</a> manufacture millions of “metallic organs”, that we will consume instead of our own organs.</p>
<p>The XIX century was the age of the <a href="http://www.futuremagazine.net/bodiesofmetal.html">machine-body</a>,<strong> </strong>and so the elites of our civilizations atrophied their bodies, and overdeveloped their brains. They used their brains to invent bodies of machines, and the bodies of machines to perform all energy tasks&#8230; The result was that Europe the cradle of machines, and specially England, became a mental society where everything that had to do with <strong>the human body was repressed</strong> (Victorian society). The aim of such culture was to enhance the intelligence of the elite, that had to invent machines. Society became split. There were the “brainy” classes that made the machines. There were the &#8216;slaves of machines&#8217;, those humans who had to serve the bodies of machines, extracting food for them, or constructing and putting their bodies at work (coal mines, iron mines, railroad workers). This age ended with the II World War, a war in which top predator “bodies of machines”, tanks, planes and ships massacred 50 million human beings&#8230;</p>
<p>The war opened a new age: the age of <strong>metal-heads</strong>, in which men developed the minds of machines. Today those minds have reproduced in huge numbers, substituting many of the mental functions that men performed in the past (calculus, spelling, accountancy, science, information etc.). The result is a general atrophy and diminution of the intelligence of human beings. Since now intelligent machines perform those jobs for us. Also as we consume metal-communicators, and no longer read, our biological language of thought (<strong>I think therefore I am</strong>),<em> </em>disappears, and people become more stupid, program to do what <strong>metal-communicators</strong> tell them to do.</p>
<p>The former explains a paradox that has puzzled social scientists of the XX century: why as we were accumulated information, people were loosing educational skills? Why there has been a global decline on educational standards, intelligence, and quality of human thought? Some denied it. Yet tests results and daily evidence are overwhelming. The average human student of the XXI century tests 25% less than our parents did. Entrance tests for universities are revised constantly to adjust them to that diminishing pattern. The creativity of our thinkers is minimal. The interest of the common people for ideas is null. Most humans have lost their capacity for abstract thinking. Even basic skills of human behavior, such as social dialog, and social interaction are in jeopardy as we communicate more and more with machines, TVs, and internets, than with human beings. There is only a biological explanation to that: the brains of our children have been partially atrophied. Now they do not speak but TVs speak for them, they do not calculate, but computers think for them&#8230;</p>
<p>As a result of that pattern we have changed culture again. We are no longer repressing our bodies as we did in the XIX century, but our minds, our capacity to think and care for reality. The parallel phenomena of “fiction thought”, which has become the main way of thinking and expressing our ideas in modern culture, only reinforces that tendency. It is truly a sickness of the mind. We exist in reality, not in fiction. Reality is a Darwinian universe in which we need to be informed. We need to know about the non-fictional world, if we want to survive and improve our lives. Instead, People today believe in fiction. They ignore reality. They see movies, and hear songs in metal-heads (TVs, internet, radio), that portray a false reality. They ignore the nature of the world in which they live. So the world puzzles them, and they react against “knowledge”. They only care for their bodies. They become lazy with their brains. They ignore the basic rules of social behavior. They ignore the basic laws of survival in nature&#8230;</p>
<p>Accordingly, our main culture comes from the country where metal-minds are developed (California). That culture is considered a culture of bodies, and “stupid people”. In words of Truman Capote: “you cannot die in California, because your brain is already dead”. Such topic reflects a truth: machines influence us, compete with us, and when we consume them, substitute our equivalent body and mental organs, modeling against our freedom as human beings the very essence of our personality.</p>
<p><strong>Competition against machines, in peace and in war</strong></p>
<p>In the Universe nothing is for free, so as we evolve and consume machines, machines replace humans by performing fundamental tasks better. Some examples are: security (<a href="http://www.futuremagazine.net/weapons.html">weapons</a> are better soldiers), information (<a href="http://www.futuremagazine.net/metalheads.html">computers</a> store better information), labor (<a href="http://www.futuremagazine.net/robots.html">robots</a> work better).</p>
<p>Given the higher <strong>energy and information </strong>power of those specialized machines, we substitute humans workers with them. We compete against machines in the work place and the war fields. We loose often that competition, as &#8216;weaker&#8217; atomic forms. In this manner, men become “extinct” as workers and soldiers, replaced by the very machines they have invented.</p>
<p>We should abandon our historic and religious myths, about the “natural superiority of man”. Men belong to nature, and they are submitted to the laws of nature. The main of such laws of Nature is the <strong>law of competition between different species. </strong>The fittest bodies and minds survive. The weaker ones become extinct. In the work environment this also happens. The fittest bodies and minds survive, even if they are machines that compete against human workers. So as companies, evolve and reproduce new information and energy machines they substitute human workers with them.</p>
<p><strong>Why humans deny the obvious.</strong></p>
<p>There are several complex reasons to this absolute blindness. But the most important ones are:</p>
<p>- Massive censorship by mass-media, industrial systems of information provided by &#8216;mental machines&#8217; of any serious non-fiction criticism of our technological civilization and its ethics that favor always the evolution, reproduction of machines and its energies over the reproduction of life.</p>
<p>- The existence of 5000 years of civilization ruled by &#8216;animetal&#8217; castes of warriors, go(l)d bankers and recently mechanical scientists, which obtain power of machines and will never deny them.</p>
<p>- The devolution of the human mind, which is parallel to the evolution of machines. We live today in a neo-paleolithic culture, a new visual age of minimal mental evolution and null social growth. This culture is spatial, immediate, lives the day and has no interest or comprehension of the complex, long term, systemic organic processes of evolution of machines and its planetary organism &#8211; the Metal-Earth.</p>
<p>Already in the XIX century, social thinkers realized that there was a minimal threshold of wealth and education required to r=evolve against any dictatorship of the mind; reason why it was said only the middle classes could revolve and the peasants, the less educated people would always cheer and follow those who oppress. This is still the case. In all &#8216;democratic elections&#8217; the less educated people vote conservative parties. In that regard, the constant devolution of the human mind during the neo-paleolithic due to a visual, violent education that glorifies money and weapons, greed and murder as the essential values of mankind, seems to have produced paradoxically 40 years after the great insights of films like 2001 and books on the dangers of a computarized future of mechanical alienation, a level of selfish, individual social devolution and visual, violent, mental degradation that certifies that indifference.</p>
<p>We live in a culture of children of thought. And so, the degradation of Gaia, the extinction of life, the destruction of labor, the plummeting levels of life of billions of human beings, in a stark contrast with the supreme power of the new generation of machines, is completely ignored both, by the ignorant sheeple and the castes of power that live on technology. Only individuals who reason aside the Matrix of propaganda that controls us realizes of the 2 fundamental menaces for human life in the Age of singularity:</p>
<p>- Weapons that can destroy the human kind; and labor machines, which are extinguishing blue collar workers (robots) and white collar workers (computer suites).</p>
<p>We are now in the 3rd year of the economical crisis that started in 2008 and we still don&#8217;t see many signs of recovery in the labor market and continuous difficulties to balance budgets, due to a global crisis of confidence in currencies and the impossibility of states to produce money for free as companies do, to spend in their human citizens, under the iron fist of deficit zero laws.</p>
<p>Those policies are no positive for human kind. They pass as &#8216;scientific laws&#8217; of &#8216;productivity&#8217; and &#8216;market efficiency&#8217;. But they are just &#8216;power laws&#8217; created by financial and machine companies in search of higher profits.</p>
<p>Since productivity means merely the ratio between capital=machine workers and human workers. So to increase productivity is bad for human workers who are fired and reduce their salary becoming an &#8216;army of unemployed labor&#8217; under the &#8216;iron law&#8217; of Minimal salary &#8211; since they will work just for the money needed to survive (Ricardo). Today in the globalization age the minimal global salary is that of the Chinese worker&#8230;</p>
<p>On the other hand the laws of deficit zero are anti-democ ratic laws whose only reason of existence is to allow financial companies to invent all the money in the market. So we cannot give 20 billion $ of deficit to 10 million Greeks, but we gave 200 billion $ to AIG, a parasite insurance company, to increase the fortunes of its &#8216;stockratic&#8217; owners, the new aristocracy of the Earth Inc. Those laws subvert the meaning of democracy, which means the power of the people.</p>
<p>And yet those laws are sold as &#8216;science&#8217; by classic economics. But it is classic economics a science or a religion of greed and power? Let us consider this question comparing classic, biblical economics created in the XVIII and XIX century by calvinist and jewish financiers who considered money NOT a language of information, as modern complexity sciences  do, but &#8216;the invisible hand of go(l)d&#8217; and cyclical economics, explained in this work, which uses the organic, systemic and complex laws of information systems and the observed patterns and cycles of history to describe the meaning of the economic ecosystem.</p>
<p>The myth of productivity: the destruction of human labor by more profitable machine-workers.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, guided by profits, Classic Economics pretends to be a ‘mathematical’ science, independent of History, uninterested in the collateral effects of the production of machines, money and weapons might cause to mankind. It is my opinion though that the economy should serve mankind first, then profits and finally machines, not the other way around, as it is today. Since we constantly increase productivity and fire labor, to increase profits, resulting on a constant evolution of machines towards the Age of the Singularity.</p>
<p>Indeed, organisms follow a simple pattern of evolution, from mechanical, deconstructed systems into full organisms in 3 phases. Since machines are enhanced organs of energy and information, evolved in metal. According to those functions we observe 3 organic periods in that process of technological evolution:</p>
<p>In the XIX century (1780s-1929), ‘company-mothers’ discovered and ‘re=produced’ ‘machine-bodies’; systems which process energy, as biological bodies do, from trains to cars. It was the age of stock-money, which multiplied enormously the financial power of those companies.</p>
<p>In the XX century (1929-2008), companies created ‘machine heads’, imitating human sensory organs: phone-ears, eyes-cameras and brains-chips. It was the age of electronic money, digital software in the mind of those machines.</p>
<p>While in the XXI century companies will fusion bodies and heads into robots, which will use solar energy to become independent of man, completing the evolution of machines, expelling most human workers from the re=productive ecosystem of jobs and credit, as the previous revolutions did with non-technological cultures — the so-called III World. Money will become then pure information, the ‘DNA-code’ that values products within the automated organisms of company-mothers . . .</p>
<p>Thus, the XXI century, or Singularity Age is the Age when machines will complete its evolution as organic forms, becoming autonomous of man, probably making us obsolete as workers and soldiers…</p>
<p>Indeed, the present cycle might be different from all others, since robots will be able to consume their own energy with solar cells; will displace human consumers, absorbing increasingly the bulk of industrial machines in their creation; and company-mothers will reach infinite productivity, becoming automated systems of reproduction of machines (hence with zero human labor). Indeed, productivity is the ratio between human labor and capital/machines. It means that as productivity increases, human labor diminishes and machine-labor multiplies. Thus, in the Singularity age, human labor might disappear, substituted by robots and automated software suits as productivity becomes infinite:</p>
<p><em>0 human labor x ∞ capital = Machines = ∞ Re-Productivity</em></p>
<p><strong>The 2 paths of future to the labor crisis: new deal vs. neofascism</strong></p>
<p>A biological analysis of Free Markets shows that if we want to make the world safer and sustainable for life we need to regulate the evolution of technology. We have to prune the bad fruits of the tree of science, weapons, robots and polluting industries, as we do with lethal organisms (virus, predators) to limit their competence with mankind, while fostering biological, human goods needed for our survival (agriculture, education, housing, verbal ethics, health, environment), which also provide more labor, as they are reproduced or created by human beings.</p>
<p>For that reason, it is imperative to understand technology in biological terms, abandoning the mathematical, abstract approach of classic economics, which cannot understand those cycles of evolution, neither studies the ‘real’ competence and collateral effects some lethal machines are having on mankind – from global warming, produced by the ‘detritus of those machines’, to the massive wave of unemployment that robotics is causing, to the risks poised by the evolution of Nuclear Weapons, now crossing also the threshold of the singularity  with the research of black holes at CERN (European Nuclear Company) that could become ‘planetary bombs’ and potentially destroy the planet.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.economicstruth.com/?p=1">The only solution to the labor crisis</a> is thus obvious: a New Deal and the nationalization of the financial systems of credit, to increase credit for the goods of the welfare state that require human labor (as they cannot be produced by machines), from education to housing, art, food, etc.</p>
<p>In that regard, a Free Market is an ‘Economic ecosystem’, regulated by a language of information called money and ruled by company-mothers, whose aim is to re=produce and evolve machines, simple organisms of metal that imitate the functions of energy and information of the human being. As a result the Earth becomes  , from a carbon-life ecosystem (Gaia), ruled by human organizations (Governments) and human languages (verbal laws) into an economic ecosystem (Free Market), dominated by company-mothers, money and machines, which enhance our energy and information but also compete and substitute man in war and labor fields . . .</p>
<p>For that reason, scientists, economists and policy-makers need to understand those cycles4 and work together in the design of a global economical model that controls the bad fruits of the tree of science, the excesses of the free electronic reproduction of money and the evolution of nuclear weapons, while fostering clean energies and technologies that enhance the life of man in this planet.</p>
<p>Yet to do so, they must regain control on the language of power of society, &#8216;money&#8217;, which today under Laws of Deficit zero can only be created by financial companies, which lend it NOT to human beings but to the technological companies that keep evolving the machines of the Singularity age (Computers and robots that throw white and blue collars out of job). The end of this process will be the obsolescence of all human workers, which then will have to be &#8216;somehow&#8217; eliminated and downgraded to minimalize his cost&#8230;</p>
<p>Thus, we are returning to Ricardo&#8217;s Iron salary (the minimal salary to survive with enough energy to work). As the pool of unemployed increases and Globalization allows to export workers to the regions of the world with the lowest iron salary (today China, tomorrow Vietnam and India), the crisis will reach a point in which survival will not assured by the &#8216;surplus&#8217; of &#8216;human capital&#8217;. How the system will solve the problem? In previous crisis it simply killed the surplus in the wars of the 1860s=1940s, when the sheeple rebelled. To that aim, first it is needed to create a new fascist ideology to &#8216;blame&#8217; the unemployed from the Globalized world (3rd world immigrants, white trash) of the crisis. This process is now clearly in place. The next stage will have two varieties. In milder societies (Europe) the sheeple will be maintained at cheap cost with 3-dimensional movies, taxed drugs, trash food and aspirins, in their cubible homes. In America, where capitalism is absolute, the sheeple might not even get the minimal survival rights and therefore the country can enter into an age of civil wars&#8230;</p>
<p>Indeed, let us remember what was done in the previous crisis.</p>
<p>The second type of job eliminated by the steam machine was the work of the slave. The cotton-picking machine made slaves unneeded in great numbers. It was one of the reasons why slavery was abolished. There was an increase surplus of &#8216;negroes&#8217;, and since cannibalism was forbidden despite the known fact that children&#8217;s meat is more tender and tasteful by the law of affinity than any other meat, the slave was thrown to the streets. This outrageous statement that will raise the eyebrows of the reader must be checked with the morality of the times. No long ago, a well known british writer (Swift) proposed that to eliminate the surplus of Irish servants they should sell the tender meat of their children. We must understand that during the Industrial R=evolution the mechanist=capitalist God is never denied and behind most human actions, even those which seem at first sight &#8216;caring&#8217; actions, there is a profit calculation. For the Northern &#8216;abolitionist&#8217; it was becoming clear that negro labor would no longer be needed and cotton-picking machines would be sold, while Northern &#8216;white slaves&#8217; would work the cotton into textiles. So suddenly abolitionists were paid by Industrialists in the North, and the idealist movement of a few, backed by the press became the goal of the entire community. Today the same process has happened with the idealist movement of Global warming, picked by the Nuclear &#8216;clean industry&#8217; as the advertising flag for new Nuclear Plants. And so suddenly the &#8216;Convenient Truth&#8217; received funding and we all learned about the fact that in a few decades Canada and Russia will increase the production of Wheat and our heat bills in Ny will plummet, which is the biggest tragedy of History that must be remedy with Nuclear plants. Recently Californian judges are repelling the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/23/magazine/23strikes-t.html">3 strikes you are out&#8217; law that put so many homeles</a>s for petty theft in the iron jail, not because of empathy to other humans, but because it means to lower expenditures in jail.</p>
<p>So in the 1850s, when the overproduction of steam machines reached its peak, millions of unemployed without even the iron salary were thrown to the streets. They first tried to revolve and so a series of &#8216;splendid little wars&#8217; from Crimea to the Unification Wars of Italy, Germany and America were implemented to have &#8216;fresh flesh&#8217; for bullet consumption, increasing further the reproduction of machines. Each human being lowered his iron salary to the price of a bullet that consumed them.</p>
<p>The same identical process happened after the 1929 whose labor crisis was resolved with the consumption of 50 million human beings by the II world war.  The go(l)d value of a human being diminished thanks to the advances of carpet bombing. Now a single Bomb could consume 200.000 children and women in Hiroshima, and a single pellet of Zyklon gas, today used to kill pigs in Iowa farms, was enough to consume 2000 Jewish peasants, the sheeple of the Am Segullah, left to their &#8216;destiny&#8217; in a German Soup factory (Auschwitz). Krupp, latter forgiven for their crimes, and restituted in their Fortune, would indeed further increase profits, using the fat of the sheeple in the cartridges of his bullets.</p>
<p>This predictions <a href="http://www.economicstruth.com/?p=86">made a decade ago in Future magazine are now becoming reality.</a></p>
<p><strong>Smith-Marx prophecy: Obsolescence of Man.</strong></p>
<p lang="en-US">We can resume the biological relationships of reproduction, evolution and preying of machines on men, in a verbal-mathematical prophecy that includes the ideals of Smith and Marx, twisted by the reality of Darwinian evolution. Smith said that the growth of money (∆MV in mathematical terms) and products (∆ Tp), is symbiotic and parallel. This has a biological explanation. As your body and brain are symbiotic and maintain the same proportion in all human beings, so does money &#8211; the brain of economic ecosystems &#8211; and machines, the bodies of that economic ecosystem.</p>
<p lang="en-US">In other words, there is a parallel growth of money and machines. How this affects human beings? It was obvious to classic economists, from Ricardo to Marx that the growth of capital (∆MV) and products (∆Tp) extinguished labor, substituted by technological machines, bought with money.</p>
<p lang="en-US">Yet for classic economists, including Marx, this was also good in the long term, since once all labor was substituted by machines, we could live for free forever, in a paradise of workers without work, but with a salary, to spend in slave machines. This could indeed happen if the economic ecosystem is reformed and the right of Private Banks to invent money is taken away and governments invent money for the people, giving every human being a minimal salary. But for that to happen a r=evolution must take place. And yet, even in that case, we will become an obsolete, lazy species, atrophied in their minds and bodies.</p>
<p lang="en-US">A Darwinian theory agrees with the ‘objective’ analysis of both economists. Machines and money reproduce together as Smith said. Machines expel labor as Marx said, because they compete with us in the economic ecosystem. Yet at this point evolutionary theory diverges: this process cannot be rationally good. It is negative in an evolutionary sense. Since it makes the human species obsolete. The concept of a socialist paradise or a techno-Utopian future is another animetal myth, <em>this</em> <em>time</em> <em>originated</em> <em>by</em> <em>Marx. Since it fails to </em>see any negative effects in machines. So we should write the consequences of those 2 findings of abstract economists in different, evolutionary terms:</p>
<p lang="en-US">‘The evolution of Capital <em>&amp;</em> <em>Machines</em> (∆MV=∆TP) will expel all labor=<em>humanity</em> and <em>Humanity</em> will create Utopia (<em>Marxist</em> <em>truth)</em> or <em>become</em> <em>extinct</em> <em>(Darwinian</em> <em>truth).’</em></p>
<p lang="en-US">The previous sentence resumes the findings of Marx, Ricardo, Smith and Bio-economics in a single sentence. (The italic text is the necessary add ons to give the sentence a biological meaning.)</p>
<p lang="en-US">Mv is money and Tp represents the top predator, more expensive goods of an economy, (written Pt by economists). It measures the total prices of economical goods (of which machines and weapons are most of it.) And so the maximum parallel growth of money and machines occurs in war periods. It means that the evolution and reproduction of capital and machines preys on mankind. It does not create a paradise.</p>
<p lang="en-US">The logic, final outcome of such process is our extinction. The fantasy is a world-paradise.</p>
<p lang="en-US">In XIX C., Marx believed in Utopia, because machines were too simple to think they would become <em>self-reproductive,</em> <em>independent</em> <em>organisms.</em> <em>But</em> <em>today,</em> <em>when</em> <em>robots</em> <em>are</em> <em>about</em> <em>to</em> <em>cross</em> <em>the</em> <em>threshold</em> <em>of</em> <em>self-reproduction</em> <em>(reproductive</em> <em>Singularity)</em> <em>and</em> acquire <em>Artificial</em> <em>Intelligence</em> <em>(Informative</em> <em>Singularity)</em> <em>the</em> <em>end</em> <em>of</em> <em>history</em> <em>is</em> <em>crystal</em> <em>clear</em>.</p>
<p lang="en-US">Obsolete workers have never received the paradise treatment. They have become extinguished in wars, isolated in ghettos, sometimes of continental size (such as Africans, a farming culture, first used as a cargo or energy, an object of gunboat companies and plantations, today made obsolete by efficient engines.)</p>
<p lang="en-US">The wealthy animetal castes that control all nations are racist with the poor and will not spend a penny on them. Nor will automated companies preserve human labor.</p>
<p lang="en-US">Today chips and chip-driven machines substitute human workers at body and mental level also in the 1<sup>st</sup> world and <em>that</em> <em>is</em> <em>the</em> <em>real</em> <em>issue</em> <em>of</em> <em>the</em> <em>present</em> <em>economical</em> <em>crisis,</em> <em>which</em> <em>bankers,</em> <em>once</em> <em>they</em> <em>extract</em> <em>all</em> <em>the</em> <em>tax-payer</em> <em>money</em> <em>available</em> <em>from</em> <em>corrupted</em> <em>governments,</em> <em>will</em> <em>call</em> <em>off.</em> Because they will make profits again, even more than before the crisis, as they have used this crisis to throw out millions of workers, increasing the ‘productivity’ of their companies with robots and software. <em>But</em> <em>it</em> <em>will</em> <em>not</em> <em>be</em> <em>off. Instead 1</em><sup><em>st</em></sup> <em>world</em> obsolete workers will suffer the fate of Africa and Islam. We can use all kind of rhetoric to hide this fact. Yet machines of war kill men and peace machines kill labor. And that happened in the 3 Kondratieff crashes of the economy; where first machines killed labor and then weapons killed soldiers. . .  Will our ‘democratic leadership’ kill the unemployed of the III Kondratieff cycle of the economy?</p>
<p lang="en-US"><strong>Phases of labor extinction.</strong></p>
<p lang="en-US"><a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/19-labor-extition.jpg"><img title="19 labor extition" src="http://evolutionaryeconomics.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/19-labor-extition.jpg?w=780&#038;h=410" alt="" width="780" height="410" /></a></p>
<p lang="en-US">Economists call the labor sector to which energy workers were displaced, the service sector. The service sector as a percentage of the labor force shows a steady growth, during the age of Machine-bodies that <em>destroyed</em> <em>blue</em> <em>collar</em> <em>labor and</em> <em>again</em> <em>during</em> <em>the</em> <em>age</em> <em>of</em> <em>mental</em> <em>machines,</em> <em>as</em> <em>we</em> <em>humans</em> <em>became</em> <em>programmers</em> <em>of</em> <em>them</em>. It reached 85% by the year 2000, mostly in jobs related to the care-taking of computerized machines or Human jobs that take care of other humans (from lodging to tourism, from entertainment to health care). While this 2<sup>nd</sup> type of human jobs are preserved, all those workers that used to work with chips are now in danger, as Oracle and SAP find software suits to eliminate them. Meanwhile robots end the remaining blue collar jobs. So only human jobs that take care of humans are left. Yet the economy doesn’t invest in life-enhancing human goods. So there are few of such jobs. Since for companies of machines, those are placebo jobs that take care only for our species.</p>
<p lang="en-US">The 3 industrial sectors, related to the reproduction of machines are the Energy=extraction sector, the Reproduction= manufacturing sector and the Information=services sectors. They are in charge of creating the reproductive, informative and energetic systems of machines. In the graph, the jobs of those 3 Labor sectors are increasingly performed by Machines that make human labor obsolete. At the beginning of the Industrial Evolution, those sectors required human workers. Yet manufacturing machines have evolved and extinguished most human, energetic labor. Blue collar jobs—energy providers—were substituted at the beginning of the XX Century by energy-machines. Today Informative, Blue collar workers are substituted by computers. Now companies are evolving toward self re=production, thanks to the Evolution of robots (III Industrial R=evolution). So now, both the human body and mind are becoming obsolete.</p>
<p lang="en-US">As Chips diversify into a complete ecosystem of species with different mental software for each body machine they rule, computers and Robots will become increasingly independent, without need of enzymen=workers. Then Companies will dictate our extinction as workers. <em>This</em> <em>15</em> <em>year</em> <em>old</em> <em>text/prophecy</em> <em>is</em> <em>happening</em> <em>today</em> <em>at</em> <em>the</em> <em>end</em> <em>of</em> <em>the</em> <em>electronic</em> <em>cycle</em> <em>and</em> <em>the</em> <em>beginning</em> <em>of</em> <em>the</em> <em>robotic</em> <em>cycle.</em> So finally we reach the ideological paradise of classic economists: a world of <em>infinite</em> <em>productivity</em> <em>without</em> <em>human</em> <em>labor,</em> of perfect machines and company-mothers with absolute power, an economic ecosystem in which men are not needed, as machines and digital languages suffice to create and reproduce themselves and evolve the metal-Earth, the jungle of metal. Economists will become also obsolete, as software will no longer require them in the age of automated factories.</p>
<p lang="en-US">Thus, the 3 phases of labor obsolescence and substitution of human organs by machines (bodies, heads and full humans), coincide with the three phases of the industrial revolution:</p>
<p lang="en-US">— The 1<sup>st</sup> phase of body-machine creation massively substituted workers in agriculture (the systems of energy that sustain man). Those farmers became then workers for the energy systems of machines, during the XIX century. Yet at the beginning of the XX C. companies discovered most of the energy-machines needed for their own self-reproduction. They displaced those energy workers. So all those workers were out of work (29 crisis); and in a few years they were consumed in wars, competing with weapons that killed them.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p lang="en-US">The 2<sup>nd</sup> phase of the Industrial Evolution that reproduces chips in control of complex machines is expelling mind-workers everywhere, except in those nations dedicated to reproduce Metal-minds (American, Japanese workers).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p lang="en-US">The 3<sup>rd</sup> age starts now with the Robotic r=evolution that makes the full human obsolete. Less and less men are needed to reproduce machines. Will a war cause the extinction of those workers in the nearby future, as it happened to the energy workers at the beginning of the century? We are manufacturing that war as we speak, evolving the weapons of the age of the Singularity and using robots to kill Neolithic farmers&#8230;</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p lang="en-US">The amazing fact about the chip radiation is the speed at which it multiplies and the speed at which it displaces human labor from positions of control. This is a trend that cannot be easily stopped, since the real cost of chips is minimal, their raw materials very cheap and their reproduction systems need hardly any human workers. Chip factories are the most automated factories. Thus chips constantly go down in costs; as human workers cannot compete with cheap, chipped machines. Indeed, since their birth as a species, chip prices tumble down and so demand for chipped workers increases geometrically to increase profits.</p>
<p lang="en-US">It is thus needed the control of the evolution of technology by restricting as we do with aids viruses and other lethal biological beings, the evolution of robots in workplaces and battle fields by a legal agreement of the G20. Since ultimately is just a question of time, if we allow the evolution of robots, not only the end of human labor but of human soldiers. And since the most perfect machines are always weapons and robots in war are programmed with Darwinian, survival instincts, it is only a question of time that robotic weapons &#8216;decide to survive&#8217; and turn against us when we try to disconnect them in a war for profits&#8230; So ultimately the solution to all our problems is crystal clear: to declare the industry of robotics as lethal as the industry of drugs and forbid it.</p>

<p><em><strong>Keynesian militarism.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/11-war-funding-625x4051.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2080" title="11-War-Funding-625x405" src="http://evolutionaryeconomics.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/11-war-funding-625x4051.png?w=780" alt=""   /></a></em></p>
<p><em>The rise of the robotic army is in its initial stages, but it has been already staggering in terms of economic growth for the financial-military-industrial complex, which has started a take off industry of terminators, of predictable consequences for mankind. In the graph, the first steps of that army, which soon will consist on automated platoons directed by satellites, beyond human reach &#8211; the &#8216;skynet&#8217; predicted by artistic prophets of <a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/general-systems-science/social-super-organisms-2/the-2-scales-of-human-superorganisms/art/the-american-baroque/">the American baroque</a> (Terminator series, Cameron)&#8230; </em></p>
<p>We live today still 10 years after the fall of the WTC, and when Osama has been killed still an age of war, which absorbs most resources of America. Why? If even the II world war lasted only 5 years as costed less than this war.</p>
<p>The answer is Keynesian militarism &#8211; the 4th crisis produced by the evolution and massive reproduction of electronic machines, in this case robotic weapons.</p>
<p>Plainly speaking, the war on terror is not a war fought for America but for the 1% of stock-owners of the financial-military-industrial complex &#8211; a war-profits the new arms race of terminator machines that in America have devoured over 1 trillion dollars, with the excuse of terrorism. Indeed, <em>terrorism is fought as in Ireland and Spain with diplomacy, justice in conflicts like the Israeli Apartheid and CIA operatives, police &#8211; not with weapons of mass-destruction used for war. Terrorism is not war and so in this case is just an excuse to create a new Keynesian militarism, to keep profiting corporations in a perpetual new cold war of robotic weapons</em>&#8230;</p>
<p>What this new arm&#8217;s race means however is hidden by the newspeaks of the system and its military propaganda. We are supposed to create terminators because that means our homeboys won&#8217;t die in these wars. Yet in the same manner we are greedily accumulating profits without taking into account we deplete the resources of future generations, it is self-evident according to the <span style="color:#993300;"><a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/memetics/the-marx-smith-paradox/"><span style="color:#993300;">Laws of evolution</span></a></span> that in a few generations this arm race will create top predator weapons, prepared to kill man, with programs of survival that will make them not obey any longer humans that try to disconnect them. When those weapons reach Artificial Intelligence, they will reach will and the evolutionary laws will oblige them to defy human beings.</p>
<p>The last human soldiers belong to the Y-generation of 20 year old kids that fight today. They are those video-game children who kill at distance from Nevada, children, women and ‘terrorists’ in the poorest countries of Earth (afghanistan, Yemen, etc). Then the robots will get out of the loop and will practice the same video-games directly on human beings. Their video-game minds will want to enact their programs, doing what they do with the same enthusiasm of the kids that play &#8216;call of duty&#8217;.</p>
<p>They will kill us in a mechanized way, reproduced in automated factories on the Chinese-American wars I forecasted 20 years ago – the Yakutian wars. Or perhaps if we are lucky on the Himilayan wars of India vs. China… Or merely terminator retired in military depots who are bored of not doing what we have programmed them to do – kill us. Whatever of the variations over the same ‘rhyme’, the present terminator race will mechanically kill us. And when the last man on Earth is dead, as Kapek explains in his book &#8216;robota&#8217;, they will go back to work, to keep evolving new robots and re=producing them. But we shall not be here.</p>
<p>The building of aereal robocops is now cleaned by Obama and so we can expect 4 basic effects of the use of the &#8216;fa$cist&#8217; strategy (colonialism, I Kondratieff crash got out of the steam crisis in the XIX century, fascism in the XX century after the crash of the car and its conversion to tanks and now the crash of the electronic industry reconverted to war and hate speeches):</p>
<p>- The propaganda of robotics and robotic war in hate Tvs and Internet</p>
<p>- The massive increase of robotic related industries and the integration in automated factories of the production of robotic weapons.</p>
<p>- The creation of the first &#8216;factories&#8217; as superorganisms of robotic weapons in Alaska for the future Chnese/American Yakutian wars, once the</p>
<p>- New field of war for robotic tankers (Iran), is cleaned up of the primitive (neo-colonial robotic war period), of this cycle of fa$cism.</p>
<p>Indeed, if the negro and the Indian was the &#8216;primitive&#8217; eliminated in the I Phase of the Steam wars of exhaustion of bodies of metal (XIX c.), the slave and jew of the XX war century bombers/tank wars of Germ(an)s against other European industiral nations, now we shall observe two phases of the increasing growing industry of terminators, before the &#8216;awakening of Ai circa, 2050 fusions the minds of all robots, pcs and internets into a new living superorganism, Matrix, the Metal-Earth:</p>
<p>- Wars of Islamic cleansing, to the service of Israel, Syria Iran specially this last nation, where due to the land size multiple autonomous tank robots will be used and replace land soldiers. On preparation to the</p>
<p>- New Cold War, between the block China/Russia (industyr/Raw materials) vs. Western Europe/Israel/America, as a classic prolongation of the Old Cold War. This handy pseudo-ideological, industirally motivated new front is now starting to be put in place and probably will suffice to take the evolution fo Keynesian Miitarims to the point of no return (conjnction of Artificial Intelligence, Automated Robotic factories and Roboti armed platoons with survival instincts as an autonomous herd of a new onscious species, the roboticc weapon)&#8230; When this point is corssed is obvious: when there is enough mass of robotic weapons (around 100 million) to easily substitute the human kind within weeks of top functionality. It is to be understood that weapons desigened to kill man, the most expensive, lethal, profitable industries of the industrial revolution and Adam Smiths defintion of the wealth of nations (see right down side), are here to stay, and soon to cross both limits &#8211; that of autonomous robots, all vehicles, most guns, all planes &#8211; and that of integration by satellite networks around NATO and a future possible integration of Russian and CHinese capavilities.</p>
<p>THe theme of the threshold of consciosuness of the net is treated in other zones of this web. Let us now analyze the present state of NATOnet, the future war/conscious network/intellience of the Metal-earth organism, in control of the &#8216;species&#8217; of its surface&#8230;</p>
</div>
<div><strong>Capitalism will lead to the extinction of man and the creation of a world of metal.</strong></div>
<div>Evolution thus again is obvious in this scary new branch of capitalism &#8211; killer robots &#8211; and defines much better their future than the subjective, &#8216;biblical&#8217;, anthropomorphic dreams of classic  economics &#8211; unfortunately dominant . What&#8217;s going on in this planet is its terraformeing by company-mothers of machines and weapons into a world of metal where life is extingusihed. Evolution defines the future in this case again. And if humans don&#8217;t control it for their benefit sci-fi becomes science. The future becomes a non-future for mankind according to the &#8216;Oedipus paradox&#8217; and the cycles of evolution of machines discovered by Kondratieff. We are thus not only in an economical crisis but truly in an existential crisis, what biologists call the 6th extinction of all forms of life, including human beings and non-technological cultures.</div>
<div>
<div>The end of History thus seems the <span style="color:#993300;"><a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/general-systems-science/a-biological-science-of-economics/the-20sthe-2000s/epistemology-2/"><span style="color:#993300;">most likely probability</span></a>,</span> according to <a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/general-systems-science/a-biological-science-of-economics/the-20sthe-2000s/the-future-of-economics/company-mothers-the-superorganisms-of-machines/the-will-of-machines/robotsblue-collar-workers/">t<span style="color:#993300;">he Oedipus paradox between species</span></a>, concluding the process of extinction of life that biologists call the 6th extinction that affects not only nature, but also non-technological civilizations. And yet, because Historians have no saying in the future of history in the hands of <a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/fmi-complex/money-and-its-metal-values/the-creditation-of-futures/speculators/">f<span style="color:#993300;">inancial economists</span></a><span style="color:#993300;">,</span> the <span style="color:#993300;"><a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/fmi-complex/capitalism-mechanism-and-nationalism/patriotism/"><span style="color:#993300;">military</span></a></span> and technocrats, which are sacrificing our human future to the evolution of those &#8217;<span style="color:#993300;"><a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/ages-of-the-human-super-organism/3rd-informative-age-metal-cycles/weapons-top-predator-machines/the-selfish-metal-meme/"><span style="color:#993300;">selfish memes&#8217; of metal</span></a></span>, the alternative &#8211; to design <span style="color:#993300;"><a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/general-systems-science/social-super-organisms-2/the-world-union/"><span style="color:#993300;">a world to the image and likeness of mankind</span></a>,</span> by pruning the lethal fruits of the tree of science and promoting the welfare, human goods that would maintain history <span style="color:#993300;"><a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/general-systems-science/social-super-organisms-2/the-2-scales-of-human-superorganisms/to-live-the-biological-will-of-human-beings/human-goods-whealth/"><span style="color:#993300;">WHealthy</span></a></span> are not even considered. So indeed, the future can be known according to <span style="color:#993300;"><a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/memetics/the-marx-smith-paradox/"><span style="color:#993300;">the Laws of evolution</span></a></span> applied to the economic ecosystem; and it could be managed by scientists of history, the &#8217;<a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/general-systems-science/social-super-organisms-2/the-world-union/foundation-the-bio-historians/"><span style="color:#993300;">bio</span>-<span style="color:#993300;">historians</span>&#8216;</a>&#8230; Since the future optimizes the evolution of the two dominant species of planet Earth, the machine and man and its two super-organisms, the <a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/general-systems-science/a-biological-science-of-economics/the-20sthe-2000s/the-future-of-economics/">&#8216;<span style="color:#993300;">Metal-Earth</span>&#8216;</a>, and &#8216;<span style="color:#993300;"><a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/general-systems-science/social-super-organisms-2/"><span style="color:#993300;">History</span></a></span>&#8216;.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Today the future is designed by corporations, in <a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/general-systems-science/a-biological-science-of-economics/the-20sthe-2000s/the-future-of-economics/company-mothers-the-superorganisms-of-machines/"><span style="color:#993300;">biological jargon &#8216;company-mothers</span>&#8216;</a> of machines that re=produce them <span style="color:#993300;"><a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/general-systems-science/a-biological-science-of-economics/"><span style="color:#993300;">terraforming the planet</span></a></span> to its image and likeness. It could though be designed for the human kind if <span style="color:#993300;"><a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/fmi-complex/capitalism-mechanism-and-nationalism/the-myths-of-economics-damned-lies-and-statistics/"><span style="color:#993300;">the ideology of capitalism</span></a> </span>that blindly backs and invests all financial and material resources in the machine were substituted by <a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/general-systems-science/a-biological-science-of-economics/the-20sthe-2000s/the-2010sthe-30s/times-of-dead/solution-ethonomics-the-memes-of-life/"><span style="color:#993300;">a mixed economy</span>,</a>Chinese style, with public banks that <span style="color:#993300;"><a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/fmi-complex/money-and-its-metal-values/the-creditation-of-futures/"><span style="color:#993300;">manage credit</span></a> </span>to foster a sustainable world.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Regarding the time frame that will culminate this process, the cycle of Kondratieff is <span style="color:#993300;"><a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/ages-of-the-human-super-organism/3rd-informative-age-metal-cycles/industrial-waves/generations/"><span style="color:#993300;">a generational cycle</span></a>  </span>whose &#8216;fractal dates&#8217; have happened with remarkable accuracy, for reasons explained in detail in this web. In fact, this writer published in the 90s a book on the future crisis of 2008 (c.94,&#8217;Bio-history, Bio-economics: a theory of unification&#8217;) according to his studies on the Kondratieff cycle. So we can affirm that by the middle of the century, when the robotic r=evolution reaches its evolutionary peak, this planet will no longer have man as the top predator species but the robotic weapon, which America today is developing with massive resources. This 20 year old forecast is now shared by most robotists &#8211; though of course, their wishful thinking affirms the techno-utopian thought that machines will NOT obey the laws of evolution and survival among species. This however is totally denied by the historic processes and evolutionary processes of displacement of news species in a planet of limited resources. In fact the process has already started, as this crisis is produced by the excessive reproduction of robotic tools that throw us out of work and robotic weapons that have created an age of perpetual war.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Yet <a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/fmi-complex/capitalism-mechanism-and-nationalism/biblical-vs-cyclical-economics/metal-communicators-the-matrix-of-mass-media-2/">a &#8217;<span style="color:#993300;">Matrix&#8217; of mass-media fictions</span></a> and the censorship on the real issues of this existential crisis prevents mankind from &#8216;taking the bull by the horns&#8217; and confronting his destiny with<span style="color:#993300;"> <a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/general-systems-science/a-biological-science-of-economics/the-20sthe-2000s/the-2010sthe-30s/2010s-the-kondratieff-crash-of-the-electronic-cycle/now-the-euro-soon-the-dollar/solution-¥e-money-and-the-world-union/"><span style="color:#993300;">a &#8216;change we can believe in&#8217;</span></a></span>. This change that should be realized by politicians collides with <a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/general-systems-science/a-biological-science-of-economics/the-20sthe-2000s/the-2010sthe-30s/2010s-the-kondratieff-crash-of-the-electronic-cycle/now-the-euro-soon-the-dollar/">t<span style="color:#993300;">he &#8216;wall of profits&#8217; and the dictatorship of myopic market</span>s</a> whose only mandate is to increase profits=money by reproducing and evolving further those machines. Since the price of those machines is a direct function of its &#8216;quality&#8217;, and profits are directly proportional to the price=sales, which makes<span style="color:#993300;"> t<a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/ages-of-the-human-super-organism/3rd-informative-age-metal-cycles/weapons-top-predator-machines/"><span style="color:#993300;">he most perfect machine, the weapon</span></a>,</span> always the most evolved, main produce of capitalism. And so today it has made of the robotic weapon the first, most perfect, most reproduced machine of the last Kondratieff cycle, which completes<span style="color:#993300;"> <a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/ages-of-the-human-super-organism/3rd-informative-age-metal-cycles/the-±800-y-cycle-of-wars/"><span style="color:#993300;">the long wave of evolution of weapons</span></a></span> that structured <span style="color:#993300;"><a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/general-systems-science/social-super-organisms-2/the-2-scales-of-human-superorganisms/the-life-and-death-of-super-organisms/"><span style="color:#993300;">the life and death</span></a></span> of <span style="color:#993300;"><a href="http://evolutionaryeconomics.wordpress.com/general-systems-science/social-super-organisms-2/art/"><span style="color:#993300;">civilizations</span></a></span> since the beginning of history.</div>
<div>Those weapons, soon embedded with survival programs needed in the battlefield, designed to kill mankind, will kill us unless we change our model. We thus live in the last 3 generations of the species the X generation of this writer, the Y generation of our sons who are asking us &#8216;why we fucked up the world&#8217; (Occupy protesters, indignados, etc), and finally the zero generation of our grand-sons, probably so erased by the fictions of mass-media systems that will have no energy or information to react. This web provides the Y generation with the whys. They are the last hope to change the system, if they can r=evolve in time.</div>
<div>
<p>Unfortunately the the organic process of substitution of the human species by the mechanical world we are building is addictive. Since machines are nothing more, nothing less than organic systems, we build imitating our own organs. So a chip is a metal-brain that thinks faster and we get addicted to its information; a car has the function of our legs and we move faster with them. A Camera is a metal-eye that can see at distance, and a mobile a metal-ear that hears far away. And so humans, as enzymes do in the cellular realm, attach themselves to an atom stronger than ours &#8211; metal, and the result is a new &#8216;top predator species&#8217; that mixes memes of metal and human life, the animetal&#8230; And both together form the economic ecosystem in which we live.</p>
<p>The biological, scientific description of that ecosystem, requires therefore an organic language that &#8216;abstract, ideological economics&#8217; cannot provide and we shall introduce in a limited range in this web.</p>
