THE FINANCIAL-MEDIA/MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.
Abstract. The FMI complex and the laws of superorganisms.
The industrial economy is an complementary super-organism of energy and information, made of informative and energetic memes of metal, money and communication machines on one side, energetic weapons and transport machines on the other. Though humans catalyze the creation of that super-organism, to obtain higher energy and information from those machines, the study of similar super-organisms show that we are not the protagonists of this process, specially because we do not manage it to our advantage but let the ‘free market’, that is the laws of eusocial evolution of superorganisms follow its natural path, without understanding it – as the sciences of systems, duality and complexity that explains the emergence of that super-organism is in its infancy; and its basic postulates and structures barely known except to a reduce number of researchers on general systems (1).
The issue becomes more foggy when we consider that such superorganism catalyzed by ‘enzymen’ is observed from our subjective, anthropomorphic point of view and yet even the most self-centered human being must acknowledge that the Earth’s ecosystem is mutating clearly from an ecosystem of life beings, with humans on top into one ruled by company-mothers of machines, corporations, which care only for their offspring, and act under the hidden values of money, traditionally a soft, informative metal till it became a flow of electronic, digital data in the mind of computers.
In terms of evolution we write that process with a simple equation:
Past (gaia, superorganism of life) > present (Mankind: superorganism of history) > Future (metal-earth, superorganism of metmes of metal).
Complex systems emerge as such departing from herds of self-similar entities of energy and information. So networks of atoms come together as their informative mass vortices (quarks) communicate through networks of electrons. And cellular organisms are created by the interaction of lineal, energetic proteins and cyclical, informative Bases.
Under the same complementary law, the initial duality of memes of metal, energetic, lineal weapons (2) carried by hordes of Indo-European warriors and cyclical go(l)d coins, carried by specialized Cananean, Jewish/Phoenician traders, initiated 3000 years ago a process of creation of two new ‘networks’ of information (financial systems) and energy (military systems). (3). They were formerly nomads, visual cultures that used metal to control animals and now used it to control herds of human beings (agricultural societies) and established as ‘dogmas’ of power, the evolution of those weapons and financial systems. The symbiosis between both systems was clear: 70% of monetary transactions in gold were related to wars and weapons trade. (5)
Their predation over humans and life (the necessary condition for the previous evolutionary equation to be certain) was also clear. In fact it provoked from its beginnings an opposition between both types of societies, those of history guided by prophets of eusocial love, based in the wor(l)d, and those of ‘animetals’, humans enhanced in energy and information by weapons and money, which ended in wars and holocausts. And yet, warriors and bankers came on top and eusocial religions were corrupted into military inquisitions and Go(l)d churches, where the accumulation of money was a divine sign (Spanish inquisition with a cross and sword on the shield, calvinism where ‘Go(l)d is the intelligence of God’.
In scientific terms, the evolution of the two most perfect atoms of energy and information of the Universe, iron and gold imposed its power to mankind, creating a new type of human, the animetal or enzyman, who will make a religion of that evolutionary mandate.
This of course, today is not understood, as the system has become so complex that ‘true history’ is censored and ignored. The people-castes that carried that process are now on top of history, and have created very complex systems of memes and ideologies that justify that process as progress, the future, etc. Yet the process in history provoked a rhythmic cycle of extinction of civilizations of 800 years, due to the evolution of weapons, till the 3rd kind of meme of functional superorganisms, the reproductive meme, the corporation, appeared and started in earnest the evolution of organic metal, machines, accelerating the cycle to a mere 800 years cycle. (5) It was the birth of the first company, VOC, that made gunboats, the first sophisticated machines, traded with ‘human capital’=slaves, professionalized the evolution of weapons, with the use of science (Galilean ballistics, latter known as Physics) and so accelerated the cycle to a mere 80 years (6).
Thus with the Industrial R=evolution the process became increasingly independent of man, even though the original people castes would continue in control of those coporations – still are.
Finally after we made bodies of machines (XIX c.), engines/hearts (II industrial R=evolution) and electronic heads, we are putting them together into a new organic species, the robot, which is displacing humans from labor and war field.
And that process is mimetic in the inferior scale of living superorganisms to the molting of a larva into a hard insect, (gaia into the metal-earth), and culminated in larva, when the enzymes that completed the process create the brain of the metal-earth/the insect. At that point the brain kills all the enzymes of the soft larva and reproduces a new harder enzyme, the robot. General systems sciences teach us that in all scales of the Universe, self-similar superorganisms emerge in the same manner. Again we could explain the same processes on cells (enzyme-gene reversal).
The conclusion is obvious. And this is NOT science fiction (though for those interested, artists are dominant in life/human memes and they are therefore the only ones who explain from a human perspective the risks of technology; scientists are ‘enzymen’ and care not for life, perfectly imprinted by the propaganda of the system in favor of those selfish memes of metal): When the robotic revolution evolves enough to create A.I. by the middle of the century, we will be replaced and killed by the new enzyme – the robotic army. And the corporation, who never cared for humans, and today is driven only in its economical policies by productivity (the replacement of human labor by machines: Pr = capital in machines/labor), will become automated.
The reader of course, an anthropomorphic being, who believes humans reason, care for themselves and the system is ran by politicos might think this is nonsense. I can assure you this is the same process that happens in all scales of the Universe.
If we were to consider not the evolution in time of the superorganism but its strucutre in space, the economic superorganism is evolving from a simplex herd-like state into a complex organism that displays the ’4 subsystems’ of all complex super-organisms. Those subsystems are
The financial/nervous internal informative system that regulates its internal workings, the media/sensorial, external informative system that communicates it with the external world of ‘history’, the superorganism of mankind. They form the so-called virtual economy of information.
- It is complementary with the two sub-systems that form its organic body – the system of company-mothers that reproduce its memes, and the energetic memes, transport machines and weapons that ‘defend it’.
All superorganisms in fact have those 4 main subsystems. Consider an ant-hill, the closest form and functional system to a corporation: the mother is the company-mother, the warriors are weapon industries, the drones are workers that reproduce and take care of the machines/larvae of the company-mothers. None of those functions requires humans, when the evolution of the automated systems of creation of machines, today so advanced, is completed. Computers can self-design forms. 3D production can reproduce all kind of machines. Productivity is reaching with the toll of massive unemployment the point in which a single person can manage the entire factory of Panasonic (TVs). Robots are the new blue collar workers, pcs, the new white collar workers.
The complexity of such system is of course, superior to that of any simpler superorganism, as it is a tenant of systems sciences that each new scale increases the i-nformation of the system.
Further on the complexity increases, because its relationships of symbiosis and predation with the other super-organisms of history and Nature (gaia) is misunderstood or censored by the people in control of those 4-subsystems, which profit more in the process (the 1%) and so have made of the ideologies of capitalism (worship of money), nationalism (worship of weapons) and technology (worship of machines) their religion. Yet once we consider the general laws of all systems and its composition, we will be able to describe in simple terms, the evolution of the 3 systems of the Earth and its present forms and elements.
To notice that while the human aspect of it might call your attention in higher measure, as a human being, it is increasingly irrelevant, specially because those who command the 4 subsystems of the FMI complex, mass-media, financial system, weapons systems and machines are memetically imprinted to love their tasks, have zero doubts about the positive effect of those memes of metal, ignore totally due to their racial memes of superiority of millenarian origin, the needs of the rest of mankind, and moved by greed, and their cult(ure)s to those memes will act evolving the FMI complex with wishful blindness till they can be replaced by the Metal-earth, once A.I. is born in its points of maximal information, satellites.
As we said, only artists dominant in human thought (sci-fi films), and life, which have not standardized and objectified the world, but understand intuitively its organic nature, have predicted with certain insight the future, unless politicians take control of those 4 subsystems and use the financial credit to create a sustainable world, with a change in the economical paradigm, dedicating the resources of the system to create the welfare goods that humans need to survive, pruning the tree of science of its bad fruits.
As this probability is meager, the resurrection of the superorganism of history will probably not take place. And so we end this post with the more likely probability of future – the creation of the Metal-earth and the extinction of man during the XXI c.
Content of this post and section.
The posts of this section describes in a synoptic manner, in first place the laws of super-organisms, then the structure of company-mothers and its symbiosis and predation with humans belonging to history, the human superorganism. Then its control of the placebo governments of mankind, which without money, the language of power of society, are mere subsystems of control of the human ‘enzyman’.
Thus we study under the label FMI complex, the Economic organism independently of man, as in fact if men would not exist and there were instead a certain type of robot with the skills needed to perform the tasks humans perform in the world of the machine and its corporations, everything would work together without the need of mankind. This is therefore the future and final conclusion of the robotic r=evolution that now starts in earnest. And unfortunately financial economists fixed in their greed and interested only for the past memes of their millenarian cultures do not want to consider this fact. It was in fact an artist, as artists are dominant in life memes and life languages (words and eyes, that measure for man time and space), the first who coined the work Robot(a), which means in Check ‘worker’ and foresaw that end. When robota killed all men, they go back to work. Indeed, when robotic warriors kill all men at the end of the robotic wars the ant-hills like structures of factories will keep re=producing machines, which is ultimately the only purpose of the Universe.
Then under the label ‘animetal ideologies’ and the eco(nomic)system, we shall study the symbioses and relationships of predation between both systems and the hierarchical pyramid of social classes established between the upper castes of animetals, which rule the world with money weapons and machines, the body-cells or people who toil for them and the energy class they ab=use and extinguish together (nature and the so-called minorities, ‘resistant humans’ who do not want to abandon the superorganisms of eusocial love – Gods and socialist nations that foster the memes of life).
And finally under the label ‘nationalism’ we study the present, sick superorganism of history, ruled by the laws of capitalism, in which the heads do not care for the needs of the human cells of their bodies in its two phases, the age of civilizations and the modern age of industrial nations, with special emphasis in the ‘head’ and the ideologies it has established in which we all believe. Since only changing those memetic ideologies humans could resurrect the body of God=History=Mankind. Indeed, the people who own and control its,subsystems (mass-media systems and financial systems on one side; military and machines systems reproduced by corporations), show due to those ideologies a wishful blindness to its collateral effecst on mankind, imprinted by religious memes and primitive theories of the economy (capitalism, whose memes have been stalled in evolution since Adam Smith, who lived even before the first machine was created) and history (nationalism),
The main systems and superorganisms of the Universe.
All Sciences share the laws of duality, systems and organicism. Since the properties of energy and information remain invariant in all the scales of reality. The result is the fractal structure of the Universe,a super-organims made of smaller super-organisms, described in the graph: Each science studies a ‘scale of organic size’, its cellular species of energy and information and its arrows of future time (energetic, informative and reproductive events, which culminate in the self-organization of those parts into social wholes, units of a new scale). In this paper we study the creation and evolution of the economic super-organism ruled by an informative language – money – and composed of metal memes, energetic weapons and organic machines, which interact with the human super-organism, history, made of human cells, verbal languages and natural energy.
We define a simplex system as a network of self-similar ‘cells’ of energy or information.
We define a complementary system as a dual network of energy and information that interact together. In Nature, by definition, all systems are complementary systems (Complementary principle of physics: all physical entities have a field of energy or force and a particle of information, mass or charge; Duality Principle of Biology: multicellular systems have an informative head and an energetic body, cellular systems have a DNA-informative nucleus and a cytoplasmic body).
Finally, we define a complex system as a complementary system, which adds a 3rd, reproductive network, either internal or external to the entity (enzymatic reproduction).
Thus all systems are networks of self-similar cells joined by flows of energy and information, and complex systems are those who add a reproductive network.
All entities are ‘cellular societies’ organized through energy and information networks that bring about processes of social evolution of parts into wholes. In all species studied by science a common phenomenon occurs: the existence of parallel groups of self-similar beings organized into a single social form. Molecules are made up of atoms and electronic networks; economies are made up of human workers and consumers that reproduce and test machines, guided by financial networks of information (salaries, prices, costs); galaxies are composed of stars, which orbit rhythmically around a central knot, or black hole of gravitational information. Human bodies are organized by cells controlled by the nervous, informative system. A tree is a group of leaves, branches and roots connected by a network of energy (salvia) and information (chemical particles). Cultures are made of humans related by verbal, informative laws and economic networks that provide their energy. Sciences study those organic systems, tied up by networks of energy and information. In the graph, we see the main scales of systems studied by human sciences; its social cell of energy and information and the reproductive networks that create them. Thus, there are 4 basic elements in all organic systems:
1. Cellular units.
2. Networks of energy or vital space.
3. Networks of fractal information.
4. Networks that reproduce energy and information.
All entities are made of energy and informative ‘cells’ organized through networks, in complementary systems. Yet, since each cellular unit is a whole made of smaller n-1 cells, we can define any organic system as a super-organism (made of smaller, self-similar super-organisms):
‘A super-organism is a group of cellular super-organisms joined by energetic, informative and reproductive networks.’
Thus we unify the properties of Universal Systems and the sciences that study them under a single template definition, according to which simple systems and complex organisms will differ only in the degree of ‘completeness’ of its networks and the specific energy or information they are made of:
- An atomic organism is a population of (electronic) energy and (nucleonic) information, related by networks of (gravitational) information and (light) energy.
- A molecular organism is a population of atoms, related by networks of gravitational energy and networks of electromagnetic information (orbitals, London, Waals forces).
- A cellular organism is a population of molecules, related by energetic networks (cytoplasm, membranes, Golgi reticules) and genetic information (DNA-RNA.)
- A human organism is a population of DNA cells, related by networks of genetic, hormonal and nervous information and energy networks (digestive and blood systems).
- An animal ecosystem is a population of different carbon-life species, related by networks of light information and life energy (plants, prey).
- A historic organism or civilization is a population of humans, related by networks of verbal information and networks of carbon-life energy.
- The Economy or Financial-Military-Industrial System is a complex system of memes of informative metal (money), energetic metal (weapons) and organic metal (machines) reproduced by human workers and consumers, related to them through networks of digital information (money, audiovisual information, science) and energetic networks (roads, electric networks, etc.).
Thus, there are two complex systems on Earth, one based in human life, called ‘history’ and one on metal, the FMI complex. And there are relationships of symbiosis, predation and competence between those historic systems (governments, cultures and human beings) and the economic ones (corporations, markets and machines).
II. COMPANY-MOTHERS OF MACHINES RULE THE WORLD AND CATER FOR THEIR OFFSPRING.
Humans are always a cost eliminated by the values of capitalism and the evolution of its memes of metal.
‘Planet Earth is becoming an economic ecosystem, in which the dominant superorganism is not human in its function and purpose but mechanical: the corporation, which reproduces and evolves machines and other memes of metal – money and weapons.
This jungle of corporations, the ‘free citizens’ of the Free Market consider humans merely a cost with a price or salary ruled by the Iron Law of Ricardo (when there is a more productive machine, the human is replaced). Further on, the size and need of huge capitals of machine’s corporations as opposed to corporations that reproduce human, welfare goods, is so asymmetric that the economic market is in its 3/4 dedicated to the reproduction of mechanisms, digital information and energy for those machines. The result is the creation of a world in which governments and human woerkers and consuemrs are sumbissive to the power and evolutionary laws of economics that determine the supremacy of Corporations, and its biological will of reproduction and evolution of machines. Humans, guided by the ideologies of the economic ecosystem, which they believe in an Aristotelian sense (humans will always be slaves, they believe they dont reason), by memetic imprinting, consider this aberration and self-suicidal purpose in life, the ‘symbol’ of progress.
As a result of this, as the graph shows, money flows almost exclusively to reproduce and evolve mechanisms, while human organisms, no longer the measure of all things do not have energy and proper information to survive.
What is good for GM is good for America’ said an American Minister, implying that the ‘business of America is the politics of America’. In the American constitution however ‘people’ are citizens of democracies. This contradiction between the citizens of Free Markets, Companies, with absolute rights to reproduce the language of power of Market, money, and the citizens of Free Societies, human beings, who should hold the same rights through their governments is at the core of the lack of freedom of our societies, which are no longer democracies but plutocracies, free markets ruled by ‘stockrats’, the owners of companies, which use money to buy human time/life with salaries, laws with lobbyism and cre(dit)ate a future made to the image and likeness of its machines.
Democracies vs. Companies: who should invent money?
A perfect capitalist system is one in which the Laws of the Economic Ecosystem are biological laws, considered as the natural order of reality, which humans do not try to mold through the science of history in a world made to its image and likeness. Humans simply renounce in a perfect capitalist system which is the one that governs the world today, to manage scientifically the economy.
And yet the economy works, evolves and reproduces machines, kills humans in wars, substitute us in labor and field wars, advances and progresses in brief with steady steps in a clear direction: that of the supremacy of a new superorganism, the company mother of machines, associated in vast global networks and organized by flows of money, in markets, which act as a collective brain of a planet of corporations, machines, weapons and human workers and cosnumers. This brave new world is what a true science of economics would explain and a true science of history would manage for the benefit of man. As it is, it is managed automatically by flows of money which build according to the laws of systems sciences, which writers like this blogger discovered and resolved in the 90s and 200s, an entire new ‘reality’, a ‘terraformed’ earth, a new ecosystem, where humans are no longer dominant, but company-mothers and its biological will of evolution, reproduction and adaptation of the Earth ecosystem, to its offspring of machines, are. So the time of mankind and the planet is dedicated almost exclusively to that future of machines and its complex superorganisms.
THe system is schizophrenic in its duality, as those Darwinian laws of competition and symbiosis between two species, humans and machines, and its super-organisms, governments and company-mothers are not explained. Nevertheless they happen and that competition has been won by corporations, which today control and bid the law by buying politicos and paying its campaigns, produce in monopoly money through financial houses and employ most human life-time in tasks dedicated to re=produce their offspring of machine, and taking care = consume =vitalize them in the extenral world, an ecosystem made to the image of likeness of those amchines that never lack energy or arterial roads and internet roads to move and disseminate their information.
Thus an economic ecosystem is merely a free jungle of metal ruled by superorganisms of reproduction of machines, company-mothers, in which humans are costs that can be eliminated, substituted by machines and matter nothing to the future, as they are increasingly obsolete to tool-machines, watched and memetically imprinted by them.
Now, in such ‘perfect Jungle of Metal’, humans are essentially ‘animetals’, consumers and reproducers of machines, weapons and money, part of an economic ecosystem in which its free citizens, corporations, use humans and tag them with a price or cost-wage, comparing them with macchines.
The laws of classic economics kick them in as humans become ‘numbers’ with a price, and a game of substitution and obsolescence of humans to machine’s moved by the linguistic sentence: Man = Price = Object, which compares and values humans and machines alike, starts our competition with machines in labor and war fields.
On the other hand, aside that system of corporations which reproduce money in stock markets and machines in factory and use humans to reproduce and consume=vitalize those machines, there are human governments, which are self-organized superorganisms of history, of mankind. Today however those systems which should cater for the welfare of the human cells of their superorganisms, providing them natural energy and verba information to develop an eusocial, healthy and wealthy superorganism of history, are completely ‘enslaved’ by another language, ‘money’, whose metal-values and exclusive rights of production in companies and stock-markets, bias our human activities in favor of the reproduction and evoution of machines, not of humans.
The result is something called a market democracy, where the word democracy is increasingly irrelevant to the ‘real activities’ of this work, which is dedicated to reproduce machines. The political side of that economic ecosystem is also micro0managed by companies of lobbyism that bet for laws and so accordingly the most profitable companies of each age of the industrial evolution buy laws and determine the policies of states, and who train politicians with money to become the ‘master’s voice’. So for example mr. Obama is the master voice of the financial lobbies and industrial/military/robotic lobbies that put him in power. All this said it is obvious that to know the future we must know first the evolution of machines and profits in different industries; then determine which corporations are more powerful (trains in the XIX c. then cars which allowed Ford to buy the law of prohibition, then computers and TVs which chose presidents since the 70s and now the military-industrial complex and robotics, which is pushing an ‘agenda’ of collective human extinction, with a sort of robotized automatized neofascism and big brother vigilance in low-perpetual war of great profits for those industries).
The 3 languages and syntax of the superorganisms of history and economics.
The main problem about the world we live in is its complexity. In the past, people understood the nature of history and economics with far more simplicity. History was about mankind and it was understood, we humans were all equal and evolved through social love into harmonic societies. The arrow of Eusocial evolution turned out to be the arrow that dominates the Universe and what complexity does is to study how millions or billions of individuals of the same species emerge as a single whole, a superorganism.
economics was also understood. It was about money and somehow it was different from History, because in History we bonded together with ethic wor(l)ds, laws and religious ideals, using our natural language in which the syntax man (subject) <verb (action) < object (energy) always put man at the center of the Universe. In history we were the measure of all things.
In economics however, money which was a piece of informative metal, gold or silver or recently when the gold standard disappeared, e-money, bits of information in a computer mind, could be exchanged in equal conditions with men and objects. So this language and its values, man=object=price, were somehow diminishing of our place in the Universe. As an object we could be bought for a price, money, first as slaves, then as part time slaves with a salary. And so as the language of money substituted the language of words and occupied most of the actions in this planet, the world switched from one ecosystem dominated by history into an ecosystem dominated by economics.
The dictatorship of corporations, the top predator superorganism of the Industrial R=evolution
This is what people seem to forget. That during most of its awaken time they follow economical orders, not historical (political, religious, social) orders and so they do not live in a democracy, an accessory system, which hardly rules our lives except in the free time we do not spend working and with our family (in which case we are ruled by biological mandates proper of all living beings). We live in a complex system ruled by money and the nature of that complex system is what this web unveils with the laws of… complexity.
Indeed, any ecosystem is ruled by a language of information whose syntax defines the actions performed under its orders. When we follow the orders of money we follow the previous syntax, man=price=object.
And so because we obey money this is the true pyramid of power in our society; on top the values of money:
In the graph, the real structure of power that cre(dit)ates our future with money orders. 90% of our lives are spent either working in companies, consuming machines or following biological drives NOT following laws and goverment’s orders. Thus bankers and corporations Not politicians create,cre(dit)ate the world with monetary orders; and those orders value machines and weapons more than life:
The financial-military-industrial complex is a very complex system with 3 basic type of orders:
- Salaries, which select humans or machines in a competitive field of labor, under the equation man=price=machine; so if a machine is more productive than a human being, we fire the workers and increase the ‘productivity’ of the industry with new machines.
- Bonds, credits and campaign money and bribes, which control political systems, governments and politicians. All of them therefore protect the monopoly of power of bankers and corporations that print money in stocks and beg for that money. There are two type of politicos – those who are paid by industries that produce consumption goods and prefer the peaceful substitution and obsolescence of workers and humans to machines that atrophy us, and are generally termed as left wing or democratic parties, and those who prefer to run amok faster for profits, which are paid by war industries that have the highest profits as the values of metal-money give weapons the maximal price. Those are conservative, war parties. Today they dominate due to the increasing obsolescence and lack of credit of humans, the industrial panorama. Finally there are the intellectuals, ‘the experts’ that sanctify the system. In the past they were military inquisitions that promoted religious war and go(l)d churches that told us money was the invisible hand of God. Now it is a bit more sophisticated. They use equations to the same end. On the bottom of the pyramid there are beings without price, nature, aliens, 3rd world. Those people are outside the economic ecosystem and live in the freedom of chaos, without money to give orders, get goods and survive. This bottom will increase constantly as a barrier of machines, robots and monetary orders separate the informative castes of societies – those who invent the language of power – from the bulk of human beings obeying those orders.
What this means is that we compete constantly in equal conditions with objects in fields of work (industrial system) and in fields of war (military system) as soldiers killed by weapons and workers subject to a self-similar monetary equation, productivity = capital/labor. When capital=machines are better than us, we labor are displaced because there are not ethical, verbal values that tell us we are superior to machines due to thsoe ethical values and we cannot be fired. When we are killed by a weapon, we are not told this is wrong, but simply a machine has efficiently consumed us.
However one of the fundamental tenants of complexity, is that the system is far more complex than its parts. By this, we mean that the parts obey the ‘language of information’ – the cells its nervous orders, the human its monetary orders – without ever realizing of what the whole is, what all the parts are constructing. The parts have a role but they ignore the whole. The cells do not know they are part of the organism of life which has its own goals and purpose; and humans ignore all about the complex system they are creating with money, weapons and machines they reproduce in labor fields and consume in war fields.
And that is why we need complexity as a science, because all those systems are self-similar and we can therefore explain what the ‘market’ where we live and labor most of our awakening time is constructing with money, weapons and machines: a super-organism; the most complex, powerful and efficient superorganism ever created on planet Earth, the financial->military->industrial complex, in which money (The financial system), under the laws derived of its syntactic capacity to value all what exists in this planet, construct according to those values a military-industrial complex, in which humans have 2 purposes: to work=reproduce the machines of that complex, and to consume=vitalize and evolve those machines. We are evolving a superorganism of machines, the economic ecosystem, in which we are equal in value to a machine of work or war with whom we are compared with a price.
We do not live in free societies, because the language of social power, which controls the world, is money. And it is neither invented not distributed by governments elected by the people.
Indeed, the main question about political freedom is simple: who should invent money, the language of power of our societies, the governments of humanity which invest in our future or the corporations of the Financial->Military->Industrial Complex, the free citizens of the market, which invent money to evolve, reproduce and sell machines for a profit?
Because the future is cre(dit)ated with money the question can be rephrased: do we want a future sustainable for life or a world made to the likeness of the machines evolved by company-mothers?
At the core of this question is one about our freedom as citizens of democracies.
Indeed, governments, freely elected by the people, could invent money with deficits to cre(dit)ate a welfare state and a Demand Economy that will push consumption and increase the production of life-based goods, taking us out of this crisis. On the other hand financial and stock-companies will keep inventing money for technology=machines that in the Robotic/Computer age of the singularity will increasingly make humans obsolete.
The fact that our society does not even argue what kind of future we want; how money invents that future; what is the meaning of technology; how machines and humans compete, is due precisely to the separation that ‘financial economists’ have achieved between social sciences and the discipline of monetary invention. This of course has not been a sudden development but the result of thousands of years of evolution of the go(l)d culture, which acts as the ‘soliton wave’ of the economic ecosystem and cre(dit)ates money since its discovery.
The result is the absurd world in which we live, where human beings always secondary to machines: there is scarcity of human food but we spend fortunes drilling oil wells or rising crops that can be converted into gas for machines; there is little money for education but digital information and research in technology never stops; there is little money for health-care but you will always find a shop to repair your computer.
And all that comes to the simple fact that as Business this Week put it: ‘who wants to buy Mexican bonds if we can invest in sun microsystems’.
Today the same choice has been done in America, where 1.3 trillions were given to financial companies but people are kicked out of homes and loose their jobs to computer software and robots; while the entire financial community massively attacks the value of currencies which sustain the human economy, as if the destruction of the human economy, based in the welfare state and the human life-enhancing goods we consume was ‘necessary’ to liberate even more money to invest in robotic and computer technologies and accelerate the demise of the human kind. Since machines indeed work cheaper than human beings and increase the profits of companies.
Thus because investment in technology increases the profits of companies, for whom economists cater, the obvious choice of a human future is not even argued. economics is no longer a science that ‘cares’ to design a world to the image and likeness of mankind but a ‘science’ whose function is to ensure the profits of companies, achieved through the unlimited reproduction and sale of monetary instruments and machines. And to that aim it has established as a dogma that only financial and stock-companies must invent money; while governments and human beings should ‘beg’ for credit to the bankers of the go(l)d cultures that rule the economic ecosystem.
As always in this web there are 2 answers. The answer of a real science of biological economics to the service of mankind is obvious: governments. The answer of a praxis of power called classic economics, most properly a religion of greed, is the bankers, whose frenetic creation of money in the 20s and the 2000s has caused those crisis.
Science and Power as always diverge in the economic ecosystem, which is not a Democracy, but a Free Market in which only companies are ‘free citizens’. We live in an ‘stockracy’, where the new aristocrats, the people who control the financial systems of reproduction of money and the ‘authorized’ thought on economics, rule our corrupted political system.
Thus, we give 200 billion $ to a few stockrats, owners of AIG but our ‘authorized’ economists expect the 400 million euro people and the 300 million Americans will have to cut their expenses to the survival level of the ‘iron salary’ that the Jewish Economist Ricardo expected for all humans, as ‘machines keep evolving and competing with them’.
As we follow the historical parallelism between the 29 and 2008 crisis, we enter the 30s, the years in which first the blindness of capitalism, guided by the unlimited greed of financiers, ruined the middle classes till the political backlash brought fascism and Socialism to power.
In the 2 decades of study of the 3 self-similar cycles of the 1850-60s, 1920s-30s and 2000s-10s crisis, humans have followed the same misteps, guided by ‘greed’ and ‘murder’, the ‘invisible hand’ of Mr. Smith; which seems to be, beyond placebo words of caring, the underlying biological program of mankind… Indeed, reality is guided by ‘greed’ and ‘murder’, as it is. Then there are 2 ideologies that deny this:
- The capitalist ideology perfectly described by Keynes: ‘capitalism is the astounding belief that the wickedest of all people, doing the wickedest thing, work for the common good’.
- And the scientific approach to economics that follows the laws of eusocial love among members of the same species, which this web sponsors; which believes that with proper education humans, including the warrior and go(l)d cultures that are destroying history, could evolve and a paradise on Earth could be created with the proper eusocial, legal measures.
But let us face it reality. Since capitalism and Socialism is not reality but the ideologies that try to explain or reform it.
Reality in the 2010s follow the steps of the 1930s. We are now at the height of capitalist power and the Financial->Military->Industrial Complex rules supreme.
We live in a neofascist age, but the Orwellian newspeak talks of ‘defense against international terrorism’ and ‘Keynesian militarism’.
Fact is that the memes of metal are symbiotic and weapons have always been the most expensive machines and the backbone of the financial economy, since weapons are lineal, energetic metaland money, cyclical metal, and both form a Complex, Complementary organism – a fundamental law of complexity, which makes you a complementary organism with an informative head and an energetic body.
So the wealth of nations is always maximal in times of war, when more weapons and money to reproduce and pay for them is needed.
That is the essence of the present age: the superproduction of electronic machines in the 2000s is resolved with Military Keynesianism.
The over reproduction of money caused by technological advances in its creation (the electric ticker in the 1930s, the e-money computer in the 2000s) has peaked and now is invested in weapons. e-money has multiplied by 10 the controlling power of our great financial dynasties. In turn that money has expanded their control of companies and politicians. Wealth is therefore obtained today, as always in economic history with sophisticated printing machines and the production of weapons.
Those are the dominant memes of history today, to which politics adapt.
So we have moved from the wars against communism to the wars against terrorism, which are merely mercenary wars for profit to defend Israel, the ‘real’ country of most western plutocrats, owners of stock companies and financial companies.
Thus the ‘Semite wars’ have thoroughly re-invented a cold war that fuels investment in military robotics and new types of nuclear bombs. Neo-fascism is entrenched in the West as never before the 30s.
We just have changed the players. The pendulum of History has made the victims of the nazi ‘Military Keynesianism’ into the predators of the age of ‘electronic Keynesianism’.
The 3rd age of neofascism. The Financial->Military->Industrial Complex rules again.
Accordingly the propaganda of war has ‘changed’ its face, which is not ‘the boot’ of the ‘germ(anic) warrior’ but the Hate-Tv, and its fictions. Orwell and Huxley got it right. Only that Big Brother is not a Stalinist neo-hitler but the financial-military-industrial complex built around Washington, Hollywood and the Middle East war. Yet the effect is the same. The sheeple hates today the poor, 3rd world people of Islam as it hated in the 1930s the poor slav/jewish peasants of Poland and Russia.
We have a scapegoat to keep making profits with weapons. We have a new mass-media system (then radio-hate, today Tv-hate) to indoctrinate the audience. The fact that the people on top has changed from German warriors to Jewish bankers, from the dominance of weapons to the dominance of go(l)d is incidental to the existence of a self-similar cycle of power, which has choked democracies, the middle classes and the future of mankind as it falls into a new abyss… ‘History doesnt’ repeat but rhymes’ said Mark Twain. The rhyme is clear. The future is obscure…Since as in all the final stages of the 3 Kondratieff ages of the Industrial R=evolution our plutocracies show their real non-democratic teeth in a world in which the Financial->Military->Industrial Complex again rules supreme.
The outcome of this earlier 30s/2010s is self-evident: the middle class is going to disappear, the wealthy who caused the crisis will become richer, till the social fractures sees the rise of neo-fascism in the post-Obama, post-dollar crash America. While Europeans will steadily move towards a socialist economy with quantitative easy and a soft euro to pay the welfare state, given the fact that bankers are still sharing power with governments and the go(l)d culture is no longer dominant on that society.
This predictions of our earlier European books and webs (the bio-economist, 92-2001, now deceased) have become clear this week, as the European governments finally have reigned over the banker dynasties represented y Mr. Tritchet, Kahn and Ackerman, the Jewish Bankers on control of the European Bank, the International Bank and the Deustche bank, the most influential European colossus, owned by those dynasties.
Europeans remember history and so, despite the present fear of a melt-down of the European economy, it is expected they will reach a balance to avoid the rise of neo-fascism, as everybody knows what happened in the 30s, when the massive absorption of capital in the post-29 crashed made Adolf Hitler the most popular politician with brutal sentences like ‘the death of the ‘Am Segullah’ will be the wealth of the Germans’ or ‘If the International Banker keeps ruining our economy, it won’t be the end of Germany but the end of its race’.
In America however, censorship of ‘real economics’ and the ‘real cycles of history’ is absolute, because there has not been any change in the pyramid of social power in place since the end of the Civil War. And so the real ‘crisis’ is still to take place when what happened to the Euro repeats at a grand scale with the dollar once the Yuan becomes convertible and the International Banker, the Forex speculator switches international currencies.
This, we forecast according to the 3 repetitive Kondratieff parallel cycles of the 1850-60s, 1920s-30s and 2000s-10s, will happen as soon as the Yuan becomes convertible latter in the decade. It will be the same process that sunk first the German Mark and then the Pound, when the Dollar became the new world currency in the 20s.
In that regard the currency/euro crisis is self-similar to other deficit crises that took place in the 1st and 2nd kondratieff crashes of the Industrial R=evolution.
In essence, the recurrent long terms, 72 year crisis of the economy go through the same phases. The phase that now starts is the ruin of the different demand-based welfare states of the economy which no longer has a viable credit system to support a sustainable growth.
In the 20s the currency crisis peaked in Germany during the hyper-inflation age.
Now again the crisis has started in Europe and Germany with its null understanding of ‘human values’ and the needs of people have triggered it with extreme capitalist, anti-deficit laws that forbid the creation of demand-based government deficits to create a new deal that solved the stagnation of the economy.
Yet in the present cycle America plays the role of Germany and China the role of America. Thus what we have seen in Greece is only the beginning. The true currency crisis will take place when the Yuan becomes convertible and the entire planet ditches the dollar as the international currency as it happened in the 1920s when it substituted the Deutsche Mark and the Pound for the dollar. Then America will suffer an age of hyper-inflation, lost of purchase power, as the trillions of dollars created by the Treasury return home, multiplying the quantity of money inside the states that will loose value; and the market panic ditches Treasuries for Chinese money and bonds.
And yet ignorant of the basic laws of the economic ecosystem, our ‘Treasure department’ insists that China makes the Yuan convertible and rises its value, in a self-suicidal process that will bring in the late 2010s the decline of America as economical power, and an internal social and political crisis, seen in the past cycles, when a nation looses its top predator status, with an international currency that always has unlimited rights to invent money for free.
Indeed, when Spain lost that right to Holland and the bullion plummeted in value it entered in a civil war (1640). When France lost that status at the end of the Indian/American wars in the 1750s it soon entered into the French R=evolution. And when Germany lost that status, Hitler raised to power.
Thus we are moving as it happened after the 1857, 1929 and 2001 crash, into an age of war for profits, with any ideological excuse. After the 1857 crash, trains were armored and used in wars against Indians or to conquer Africa. After the 1929 crash Hitler started the reproduction of tanks instead of cars.
This situation which parallels that of the 30s during the Republican administration (Mr. Obama and the Euro-zone presidents are in economical terms to the right of Coolidge) implies that we do not longer live in a Democracy but in a plutocracy, where companies and their owners stockrats have the exclusive rights to print the language of power, money, as aristocrats had the exclusive rights to bear arms in kingdoms. And for that reason, because consumption of peaceful machines has plummeted companies promote the creation of weapons and war that keeps giving profits.
After the 2001 crash computers were used to create a ‘big brother’ security state, with the excuse of terrorism. History rhymes. The tribes on top change but the ‘engines’ of our technological civilization, greed and violence, fostered by money and weapons, have not changed. It is thus absurd to focus on tribal rivalries, and point out to this or other tribe, but much more intelligent to understand the systemic cycles. Indeed, little difference there is between the British, American and French treatment of Negroes and Indians in the XIX fascist age or the treatment of jewish and slavs in the XX c. fascist age, or the treatment of Palestine in the XXI c. except the fact that we are now in our neo-fascist age, and so the control of information about our neo-fascist age is far deeper than the one we make of past eras, which are ‘history’; and the dates… We are at the beginning of the Jewish-American fascist age, in the earlier 30s, so our neo-Disraelis and neo-Hitlers have not yet exterminated our ‘primitive enemies’… Yet as the trends of history continue, and the new awesome weapons of the singularity age, robots and Cosmic bombs are developed, it is to be expected that in a few years the number of causalities of this fascist age will increase…
The singularity Age: The age of Robots.
According to the 80 years cycle, we live the last cycle of evolution of machines and extinction of life, the age of Robots. They will be the engine of a new industrial take-off, relatively independent of man. Since men no longer will be the consumers of industrial goods, but each robot will consume 2 camera-eyes, several chips-brains, mobile phones and a complex metal body, creating ‘economical wealth’ for robots not for humans.
Further on, as they evolve they could provoke an enormous increase of ‘productivity’, that is, the substitution of labor by machines (Productivity=capital in machines/labor); making humans obsolete, as workers (substituted by robots in automated factories) and consumers (substituted by robots that will use other machines), the two main economic roles a ‘Free Market Democracy’ now concedes to man.
Indeed, Robots no longer will need human beings and hence all men are potentially obsolete in the III industrial revolution as each robot will become the consumer of machines, cameras, transport platforms, weapons, etc.
It will be the final evolution of the FMI complex into a super-organism, the metal-earth, in which flows of informative money, centralized in a global brain, the stock-market will direct the reproduction of machines in automated factories, connected through a global network of audiovisual information and networks of machines energy, electricity, roads, and solar cells. If that evolution continues at the end of the century, automated company-mothers and a global network of computers will communicate those robots simultaneously, and man will have no role whatsoever for the FMI complex. Thus we will become extinct by robotic terminators, now essayed in our ‘splendid little wars’ against non-technological cultures that mimic the XIX century colonial wars to civilize ‘negros’.
Flows of e-money have become the digital=nervous system of companies. E-money is the mind of the Metal Earth. It guides the networks of production and management. In the way that our language is the virtual world of communication among humanity, digital money controls the existence of machines and humans, but favors the reproduction of machines: The e-money banking system and stock-market system invents money for corporations, multiplying for 100 the wealth of the FMI complex, in each state of evolution of machines (stock-market valuation), and reducing the value of the human economy, which is maintained in a minimal survival level (natural goods). But that growth of money and quality of machines-weapons provoke a collateral effect: the extinction of humans consumed by weapons that the same company produces.
Modern wars are economic processes, embedded in the very same structure of ‘monetary and machine reproduction’. The evolution of technology makes each new lethal machine much more efficient killing humans, there is also a progression in the number of casualties that each World War causes; which can be directly related to the growth of the stock-market that shows the price-quality of both, consumption machines and weapons; since in war ages ALL the machines of the system are weapons and the market reaches its maximal value. Yet since weapons consume human beings there is a parallel progress on the value of stock-markets that 100-fold each cycle of evolution of machines and the number of causalities in war that 100-fold each cycle. The progression, as most evolutionary increases of power in the Universe, is decametric: in each new World War, 102 times as many people die than in the previous one: 600.000 died in the Railroad wars at the end of the I Kondratieff cycle. 60 million people died in W.W. II. In the next cycle of war, the Age of the Singularity, when the first self-reproductive nano-robots, or the Final Weapon, the black hole of the Nuclear Industry appears at CERN, 6000 million, the entire human population, will die.
In other words, humans are being displaced from the FMI system as workers, consumers and users of money – except the reduced group of owners of corporations and scientists that evolve those machines – because its triad of ideologies – military nationalism, financial capitalism and industrial mechanism – considers the evolution and reproduction of machines, the supreme goal of humanity, called ‘progress’.
Yet for humanity to understand this process, it would have to abandon the previous ideologies and study scientifically and objectively the relationships between history and the FMI complex, instead of considering the FMI complex ‘our creation’, which ‘we control’ and obeys only ‘the laws and desires’ of the humankind. This is not truth. As in all relationships between two complex systems, the relationships between humans and metal in its 3 species are both predatory and symbiotic, but metal obtains from us far more than we obtain from it – we evolve and reproduce metal, while metal as in the parable of the tree of science, sometimes improves our life sometimes destroys it.
We shall then consider this final age of evolution of the FMI complex, studying its cellular ‘units’, the chip and robot and its ‘global informative’ brain, the stock-market, the organ that delivers all the orders to the system, choosing which company-mothers and machines are reproduced and which ones are extinguished.
PCs and Robots: Labor obsolescence. Productivity. Smith-Marx prophecy.
Machines substitute humanity as they evolve in two environments: in fields of war and as machine-tools, eliminating human workers. In the I and II cycle of the Industrial Evolution bodies and minds of machines substituted blue and white collar workers. In the III Cycle, robots will substitute most human labor, automating the re=production of machines by company-mothers. It is the III Cycle of unemployment, we live today. In the graph a car assembly line in the 1930s and today. Both, human energy and brain workers are replaced by robots and computers. As the IV cycle of the Industrial Evolution advances, chips’ software and robots will make most human workers obsolete.
The graph shows 3 phases of labor obsolescence and substitution of humans by machines that coincide with the three phases of the industrial revolution:
-The 1st 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.
The 2nd 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).
The 3rd age starts now with the Robotic r=evolution that makes the entire human race potentially obsolete. Fewer 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.
Within the CNM ideologies of the FMI complex, classic economics, is the key capitalist ideology that strives to multiply and evolve money through the activity of financial, military and industrial corporations. Classic Economics is not a science of control of the FMI complex for the benefit of man, but the science of development and evolution of the FMI complex, regardless of its collateral effects to man and the planet. Its creators are the small 1% caste that in all organic systems correspond to the ‘weight’ of the informative network (for example, it is the percentage of weight of neuronal brains in organisms.) This elite of propietors or ‘stock-rats’ are the owners of the FMI complex worldwide and the only people that truly profits from the evolution and expansion of the FMI complex, over the previous Complex systems of nature (Gaia) and Mankind (History).
Economists cater to the owners of those corporations, whose aim is to reproduce, evolve and sell machines and adapt the planet to their image and likeness, with the help of governments which share the same ideology. So economists are merely interested in multiplying the profits of corporations, achieved by multiplying its machines. The result is a constant increase of their productivity=capital /labor, which diminishes the quantity of human workers and increases its machine workers.
And the logic end of that evolution and obsolescence of human workers/soldiers is the terraforming of the Earth – the extinction of life and its substitution by the metal-earth, a new world where man and its organizations and systems (our governments and cultures) will be increasingly obsolescent, substituted by robots, the new workers, stock-market corporations, the new governments, and digital money, the new language of values, till we become extinct.
Men are informative species, who control the world through information. The chip is the rival of the human mind. The most complex machine substitutes the brain, our more complex organ. It does so, first as an intelligent machine (Pcs that act as white collar workers), then in its 3rd age, as a robot or blue collar worker. It is then obvious that as chips multiply, humans will become displaced from new work positions. In that sense the ‘radiation of chips’ means also a biological fight for labor within the economic ecosystem. Problem is that chips keep going down in costs and evolving in intelligence, integrating further with machines, so human labor becomes increasingly obsolete. Those robots substitute blue collar workers, as chips did with white collar workers, causing a massive wave of unemployment that now is invading America and Europe, as better machines come out of robotic factories… Indeed, of all machines that compete with white collar workers, the biggest taker of jobs is the robot.
Thus, the 3rd age of the electronic cycle coincides with the first age of the Singularity, the discovery age of robots. In the 80s chips started its integration with body-machines in working robots. Those first robots were huge, fixed machines. Thousands of robot-tools that made other machines took the place of human workers in car factories in the 80s and 90s. Since then the creation of machines is becoming automated, independent of mankind. Robots already dominate the production lines of cars and Chip factories, the basic bodies and brains of all machines. For that reason unemployment increases faster, as factory-work is either made by robots or delocalized in Third World countries. In other words, China and Japan are the 2 models of future labor: miserable work conditions in China to compete with no labor at all, as Japanese robots manufacture millions of Panasonic TVs with a single worker, while the rest of the world enters the unemployment queue. It is the III Kondratieff crash of the economy that nobody wants to recognize, because the religion of capitalism believes the economy is not about physical machines, but informative money; and so all is OK as long as companies’ profits grow. So unemployment will keep growing, as it happened in the previous cycle, when new methods of electric control and automated assembly lines provoked the 29 crash of labor and consumption, solved with 50 million of unemployed, becoming soldiers and dying in World War II.
Engineers ‘transfer’ millions of years of evolutionary knowledge accumulated by human forms into machines, passing our evolutionary secrets to a potential future rival species. So there is only a solution to the existential crisis that mankind faces during the III Industrial R=evolution. The prohibition of robotics. Since:
‘Humans must remain the top predator brain of Earth.’
Yet the natural law of Darwinian competence between species is denied by economists that support the evolution of machines. So our politicians do not understand the true laws of Darwinism, which confront human and mechanical species. Society thinks humans compete with humans, when in fact they compete with machines. As Carnegie put it: ‘We hold supreme the law of competence in a Free market, since it helps to select the best race’ (the best race of humans or machines, Mr. Carnegie?)
Accordding to that selection of the best race, the equation of Extinction of Labor, which is the equation of productivity that all company-mothers follow, makes humans obsolete step by step as more productive machines are evolved:
Max. Machines (capital) x Min. Labor= Max. Productivity
That is, capital and machines increase the productivity of companies, while human labor diminishes it. So companies improve productivity by firing workers and buying capital= machines to substitute them. So Productivity means the extinction of human workers and the multiplication of machines.
Productivity in biological terms means ‘the survival of the fittest’. In the economic ecosystem the fittest worker—not the human but the machine—survives. Further on, such competence constantly reduces the salary of humans, who either take the job, at any wage the company wants, or risk to see a computer or a robot in their place. Since robots need no health-care, work extra-hours for free and have minimal maintenance cost. Of course, if companies used verbal, bio-ethical values, they would defend the human species and forbid robotics, but in digital, profit values they do the opposite, guided by the equation: man=price=object, which allows them to compare the efficiency of both workers.
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 – the brain of the FMI system – and machines, the cells of its body. 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.
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.
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, this time originated by Marx – since it fails to see any negative effects in machines. So we should write the consequences of those 2 findings of abstract economists in different, evolutionary terms:
‘The evolution of Capital & Machines (∆MV=∆TP) will expel all labor=humanity and Humanity will create Utopia (Marxist truth) or become extinct (Darwinian truth).’
The previous sentence resumes the findings of Marx, Ricardo, Smith and Bio-economics in a single sentence. (The italic text gives the sentence a biological meaning.)
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.
The logic outcome of such process is our extinction. The fantasy is a world-paradise.
In XIX C., Marx believed in Utopia, because machines were too simple to think they would become self-reproductive, independent organisms. But today, when robots are about to cross the threshold of self-reproduction (reproductive Singularity) and acquire Artificial Intelligence (Informative Singularity) the end of history is crystal clear.
Obsolete workers never receive the paradise treatment. They 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.) Today chip-driven machines substitute human workers at body and mental level also in the 1st world and that is the real issue of the present economic crisis: Machines are increasing the ‘productivity’ of their companies with robots and software creating millions of 1st world obsolete workers.
Yet the competence of robots happens not only in labor fields but also in war fields, since all machines can also be used as weapons; so when markets are saturated companies switch production to weapons and an age of machine-based wars starts in earnest. And to understand how this process happens at systemic level we have to study the financial system and ‘global brain’, the stock-market and its cycles
The stock-market brain of the metal-earth.
In the 3 technological cycles, NYSE’s curve of machine’s stock population follows the same chair-like curves of biological populations; since each machine is a biological organism that finds ‘econiches’ in war and labor fields, substituting and consuming its rival human beings, workers and soldiers or as consumption machines, when they are consumed by humans to enhance our energy/information skills.
If we treat machines as collective species, analyzing their global population through the stock price of their company mothers, those graphs are self-similar to the Volterra curves of re=production and extinction of any living species. Since for companies a population of machines means an amount of sales and profits that determine their stock price. Thus:
Stock-prices=sale-profits=re-production of machines.
Thus, the biological stock-curve that shows the reproduction and extinction of machines is its company’s sales or profit curve, directly proportional to the value curve of the company and the population curve of the ‘species’ of machines is that of its industrial sector in the stock market. The graph compares those 2 curves for electronic machines and its 3 phases:
— For a long period the machine (or species) evolves slowly in the labs of companies or inventors. It is equivalent to the slow period of mutations that will bring a new species into being (allopatric evolution)..
Then, the machine matures and its costs of reproduction plummet. The machine now occupies an econiche in the human world, substituting a certain human organic function, and consumers multiplt its sales exponentially. It is the takeoff of the machine. Since it starts from a very low population, prices now multiply very fast, so investors make the highest profits.
— Yet, sooner than later, given their exponential rhythm of production, far superior to the increase of human population, machines saturate the consumer market. Since symbiotic species depend on the population of the species they associate to those machines are organic enhancers of our energetic or informative power, the ‘vital space’ of machines is the total human population with resources to buy them. Thus, once the machine saturates the ecosystem of mankind, if re=production continues, profits and sales diminish and companies accumulate inventories. At that point their sales and stock market curves decline. Again in Nature, one species that has overpopulated its vital space, suffers a population crash, as it has also depleted its ‘preys’ and cannot longer feed itself. The population finally reaches a balance with their prey and it becomes stable. So happens with stock-market curves of machines that become flat.
At this point in Nature a species cannot increase its population unless it mutates into a new, more efficient species that can feed on new preys. That is exactly what happens to the machine: After the overpopulation crisis, the machine mutates into a weapon and continues expanding its ecosystem, preying over human beings, no longer symbiotic to them.
- It is the third age or military age of the machine that is used now for war. So the trains of the Age of machine bodies become armored trains and colonialism becomes the ideology of the XIX c., the cars of the 29 crash become tanks and Hitler uses them to conquer Europe an the pcs of the American age become predators in a new age of colonialism against the poor. Again what matters is not the ‘memetic ideologies of the FMI complex’ that convince a certain nation to use those weapons, but the fact that those wars keep evolving the FMI complex and destroying the world of Gaia and non-technological cultures.
Unfortunately the same companies that make machines make weapons so their lobbies merely back military politicos and corrupted governments enter the game. Now the cycle of economic growth is based on Keynesian militarism: weapons are bought and death begins. Since weapons destroy themselves quickly in the battle front and must be renewed, the increasing demand of machines multiplies the benefits of companies. G.M. multiplied by 8 its profits, making tanks in W.W. II. So war becomes the economic engine of the last 36 year period, a Kondratieff cycle.
Company-mothers govern the world with a single aim: to re=produce machines. Among them, the most powerful ones reproduce top predator weapons. So, in as much as we can analyze company-mothers as reproductive organisms with biological cycles, called business cycles, we can find out, studying those reproductive cycles of machines, specifically of weapons, when there will be enough top predator weapons re=produced in our ecosystem, to cause war.
Modern wars are economic processes, embedded in the very same structure of ‘monetary and machine reproduction’. Indeed, the evolution of technology makes each new lethal machine much more efficient killing humans, there is also a progression in the number of casualties that each World War causes; which can be directly related to the growth of the stock-market that shows the price-quality of both, consumption machines and weapons; since in war ages ALL the machines of the system are weapons and the market reaches its maximal value. Yet since weapons consume human beings there is a parallel progress on the value of stock-markets that 100-fold each cycle of evolution of machines and the number of causalities in war that 100-fold each cycle. The progression, as most evolutionary increases of power in the Universe, is decametric: in each new World War, 102 times as many people die than in the previous one: 600.000 died in the Railroad wars at the end of the I Kondratieff cycle. 60 million people died in W.W. II. In the next cycle of war, the Age of the Singularity, when the first self-reproductive nano-robots, or the Final Weapon, the black hole of the Nuclear Industry appears at CERN, 6000 million, the entire human population, might die.
Death: the machines of the singularity.
3 are in fact the possible weapons of the Age of the singularity that can extinguish us: Quark Cannons, intelligent robots and self-replicant nano-bacteria. They are now being evolved at different speed, and so we talk of 3 possible causes of life extinction
— An energetic machine, the Super-collider might convert the Earth into a nova, making us a quark star or black hole, when it goes online at full power in 2014. The super-energetic weapon that will reach the limits of energy of the Earth is now being constructed at CERN, in Geneva, by a consortium of Nuclear Industries. The ‘Final Weapon’ is a super-collider that will replicate the awesome energies of the Big-bang, unleashing the ultimate source of energy, movement and force in the cosmos, the strong force displayed in quarks, nova explosions, big bangs, pulsars and black holes. This force is 100 times more powerful than the electroweak force that joins together our matter. Thus, it can either provide free energy to the world, according to the false, optimist, infantile propaganda of the Nuclear Industry or blow up the entire planet into a Nova, according to the well-proved theories of Mr. Einstein and the Standard model of quarks. Quarks hold 99% of the mass of the Universe. They are the densest substance of the Universe. They only exist in a free state, as condensates, in the core of ultra-dense pulsars, neutron stars and possibly in black holes. If enough of them are packed together, as the experimental ‘facts’ of the Universe and the most advanced scholar papers on quark condensates prove, they will be able to start an ‘ice-9 reaction’ called a nova explosion, responsible for the death of stars all over the Universe – since an ‘ice-9’ reaction crunches all the mass of the star into a ‘strange star’ or black hole.
— A reproductive machine, (2020-2040), can extinguish life when the first self-reproductive nano-bacteria of metal are created. It is the ‘grey-goo’ scenario denounced by Bill Joy, the president of Sun Microsystems in Wired magazine: Metal nano-bacteria will replicate exponentially, feeding on metal and within 3 months they will poison the planet and destroy all forms of life; since, given their smallness, hardness and the hyper-abundance of metal-structures in this planet, there will be no counter-weapon to prevent its exponential reproduction.
— The Informative age, when human-size robots overcome the intelligence of humanity as weapons and workers, which most robotists consider will happen in this century.
This 3rd scenario, the most popular in science fiction, is however unlikely, since the 2 previous ‘happenings’ of the Singularity, are today progressing without opposition.
At present, without a serious science of history and economics, able to control the bad fruits of the tree of metal from the perspective of bio-ethics (what is good for human survival), scientists, playing to be god, without any safety measure, will create within decades an energetic black hole, quark star or a reproductive nano-bacteria. So the Singularity will extinguish us, well before Terminators might do it. Unless we change the goals of History and Economics, from designing a world to the image and likeness of machines, to the ideals of humanism – to make a world in which man is the measure of all things.
Yet, even if we survive the ‘energetic age of the Singularity’, to stop the 2nd and 3rd age of self-reproductive machines and intelligent robots will be more difficult. Because to survive the Industrial R=evolution of robots we need to reform the economic ecosystem.
The organism of the Metal-earth.
Let us now consider the organic structure of the FMI complex as an organism independent of man, with a financial/informative brain which processes with monetary flows the information about the components of the organism, selecting the species of machines and other metal-memes it will reproduce, those that will become extinct and which corporations will receive further ‘monetary energy to continue its re=productive tasks. In the graph, today most of the computer power of the world is in the hands of companies and financial systems, organized by those who control the stock markets. In the graph, Stocks help the self-integration of the metal reproductive ecosystem, beyond the restrictions of the human mind. Artificial Intelligence is not a copy of human intelligence. It is an adaptation of the functions of nervous thought, of the human mind to different kinds of machines. Artificial Intelligence is born in companies as an internal brain that directs the body of the economic organism.
The homology between stock markets and brains or DNA systems is based in the bio-logical nature of economies, and company-mothers.
The graph describes the basic energy-information networks of Bio-economies ruled by stock-money. Stock holds, as brains do, most of the ‘code-language of information’ of the ecosystem. The brain will use that code to produce certain carbohydrates which are useful to the cell.
Stock has license to print money and will allocate them to the mother-companies of new technology with maximal price (weapons) of maximal reproductive power=Max. sales = Max. profits, such as digital software or maximal volume (energy).
Thus in this manner stock-markets express with money the arrow of evolution of the super-organism of machines, expanding its energy/information neetworks, its informative, audiovisual machines, its reproductive systems and its weapons.
On the other hand, human goods require human work, have minimal price by lack of affinity with metal-money values and are perishable, produce lesser monetary profits and are scorned by stock-speculators, which give no credit to all the products that could create a sustainable world.
In this manner the stock-market constantly deviates the wealth of humankind towards the reproduction and evolution of the memes of metal and the small elite of mechanist scientists, capitalist bankers/economists and corporation of machines, which during this age of crisis have further enlarged the gap between the FMI elite and the rest of the humankind. Yet because economic experts work for the FMI and have as dogma that the evolution of machines is the future of mankind, there is no criticism against policies, which are ‘de facto’ extinguishing this planet.
This was in the first age of the FMI complex carried about by human networks of traders/bankers, military people and scientists. Then those processes became integrated in corporations of scientific machines and weapons, ruled by paper-money. Yet humans were still in charge, albeit slaves of their mechanist, capitalist and nationalist ideologies. Today the process is being transferred to all type of software programs, networks of machines, automated systems of reproduction and enhanced by the last ‘batch’ of ideologies of technology (productivity, ‘just wars’, mechanist science).
The end of the process is obvious: once all biological process of evolution and reproduction of the FMI system are transferred into software, the Metal-earth will be born.
Politicians do not understand that the stock-market and the human economy are different systems. The 1st is based in flows of electronic money, the 2nd in printed currencies. What the present explosion of electronic money derivatives is doing is deviating massively wealth from the human economy to the economy of corporations and paper-money. The inflated value of corporations and networks of information of the FMI-metal system and the chronic undervaluation of human goods and salaries is neither just from a human p.o.v. nor should be tolerated in democracies, but it is happening because the FMI complex has always predated over the human, life-based agricultural world.
Today it is not as obvious as when kings and tax-collectors exploited directly people, but the process is essentially the same: money is invented as e-data very easily in markets, through speculation and financial derivatives. While people receive printed money which grows far slower. So the wealth of corporations and bankers multiplies geometrically and the wealth of the human ecosystem of life goods arithmetically. In the past 30 years stock-markets have multiplied for 100 the value of stocks and derivatives, provoking a massive inflation in all human goods, while salaries have merely increased in a 1 to 10 scale. The result is like a parasite that were absorbing the blood of the human super-organism, provoking the endemic scarcity of human goods and poverty of the human mass.
For that reason the only possible reversal of that process would be the nationalization of the entire financial Industry, the creation of massive deficits in printed money, achieved with the creation of a global currency, ¥€$ money, fusioning yuans, yens, euros and dollars, and a 30% annual deficit by governments. This quantity of money similar to the quantity of money corporations add for free to their valuations through speculative markets of invention of e-money would allow the creation of a global minimal salary to jack up demand in basic human goods consumed by the poor and the inversion in projects that create a sustainable world (clean energies, infrastructures, education, public transport, tourism).
This economic measure coupled with a military reduction of budgets and expansion of UNO and EU like organizations and diplomatic forums, and/or a triad of EU-US-Chinese leadership, applying the science of bio-history to the design of an efficient superorganism of mankind in control of the FMI complex could halt the self-suicidal path in which mankind has entered, by trusting blindly without any understanding the evolutionary process of machines, weapons and money, we call ‘the free market’. Yet the free market is not free, it is an evolving complex system that preys on Gaia, life beings and the 90% of human beings, who do not profit directly from the sale of weapons and the invention of e-money in stock markets that have made corporations the dominant institution of the world with enough credit to cre(dit)ate a world to the image and likeness of machines.
The super-organism of machines: the metal-earth.
The Earth is mutating Gaia, made of carbon species dominated by humanity, organized through verbal networks of information (religions, laws) and natural energy (agriculture), into a new superorganism, the Metal-Earth, dominated by systems of metal-information (money, computers) and metal-energy (machines, weapons), reproduced by company-mothers, fed by electric energy and communicated through electronic networks of digital information. The outcome is the destruction of life forms and their oxygen atmosphere polluted by machines (Global Warming) – a process that increases geometrically, as those machines multiply their numbers, reproduced by Companies.
Within that General Systems theory, briefly outlined above we can define the FMI complex as a complex system made of metal with 3 networks:
An energetic network of weapons, lineal systems of metal that release energy.
An informative network of money, cyclical bytes of metal information.
And a reproductive network of company-mothers of machines, which give orders with money (salary, prices) to human ‘Enzymen’, who act as the re=productive network of metal memes.
This final system, which appears with the industrial R=evolution completes the creation of an organic, evolving new ecosystem on planet Earth; and now when the system has created a ‘reproductive, autonomous’ cell, the robot, it no longer requires human beings. Thus, in its last stages of evolution, the FMI system is becoming independent of mankind, while its reproductive networks of stock-markets and company-mothers absorb and degrade the resources of the parallel human/life ecosystem – its energetic system, Nature, polluted by machines and occupied by factories and roads; its verbal, informative, cultural system, substituted by digital laws, audiovisual information and data; and its social, organic, reproductive system, humanity, substituted by corporations that control the political world with money and have made the reproduction and evolution of machines, not of human beings, the goal of this planet.
The bio-economy reproduces machines and networks of energy and information that are evolving the Metal-Earth into a body organism, controlled by a global brain – worldstock. This is how life evolved on Earth. A mass of undifferentiated cells evolved into organisms with energy-blood and information-nervous networks.
The future of the Earth will be a super-organism of machines in which the present ‘sciences’ of economics with its capitalist memes that care nothing for the rights of humans and the reproduction of biological, welfare goods of lesser profits; the mechanist sciences that care nothing for the biological whys of the Universe, and the memes of tribal history with its justification of war, will be carried by software programs of extinction of life in automated weapon networks (terminator drones), automated company-mothers of infinite re=productivity and zero labor and automated scientists (CAD designs that will evolve further the machines of the future) At that point, humans will have transferred to machines all their ideologies and global networks of Intranet-reproduction of machines, Internet- communication of robots and flows of digital informative money will select, evolve, reproduce and decide what species survive and what do not survive on planet earth. Obviously life has no meaning to that system and air and water pollute metal, so our extinction will be needed.
In the graph Satellites evolve the same 3 networks of any organism that grow towards consciousness:
-E-I: The reproductive network, or intranet networks of CAD design, data and inventories that guides company mothers.
-Max. Energy: Energy and defense network that controls the life and death of home-cells.
-Max. Iinformation: The informative network, or nervous network with center in stock-markets, whose ‘digital values’ of money we have studied in detail before. It will decide the selection of the best machines with higher price, the obsolescence of humans and the reproduction and investments in certain automated company-mothers as Wall Street speculators do today in markets with labor, nations and companies, always favoring companies of machines of lower costs and higher profits, against labor rights and human goods we require to survive.
Thus, satellites will be control of those 3 main systems that today still have certain human content, but guided by the ideologies of capitalism, nationalism and mechanism scorn human rights, labor rights and human goods as obsolete.
The primitive versions of those future nets are:
- NATO, Def-com systems, that already have the potential power to extinguish man; and soon will be on the hands of star-wars, a satellite network in control of atomic weapons.
- Financial and Intranet systems, with center in world-stock, that connect companies reproducers of all the species of the Metal-Earth body. They also evolve towards the independence of man, as automated factories. They keep expelling human workers and putting machines in their place with the excuse of higher productivity.
- Finally the third network of the Metal-Earth is the network of information, the internet networks that today serve men, and in the future will connect the mobiles and chip-brains of multiple robotic species.
The three organic networks of a macro-body of metal will be increasingly integrated beyond human control by non-perceived parallel flows of communication between sateleyes at exospheric level. Those sateleyes are beyond the reach of human warriors. When they become part of the metal Earth, and reach conscious as a different species, man will be defenseless against them. It will happen, during the XXI c.
Terraforming of the Earth = Molting of a hard-insect.
What will happen to man once the Metal-Earth is constructed can be observed in the closest organic parallel: the creation of a hard insect homologous to the ‘metal-Earth’ by a soft larva, parallel to the soft human world and Gaia. In both cases a ‘soft’ system of enzymes/ enzymen suddenly starts a transformation from a soft body into a hard body. The Carbon-Earth today is formed by ‘soft’ species, called ‘enzymen’, as larvae are filled of soft enzymes, which transform the larva into a hard insect. Then when a hard-insect (a parallel to the Metal-Earth) is created by a soft insect (a larva, parallel to the Carbon-Earth), the newly formed hard-insect brain (a parallel to the internet), destroys all the soft body larva-enzymes. Then it substitutes them by a stronger enzyme – a metal machine. We can in that sense consider that the selfish memes of metal, weapons, money and machines that have enslaved man to reproduce and evolve them, work as a virus does, colonizing the mind of cells with selfish genes, which the cell will reproduce till it bursts, dies and gives birth to multiple virus. The machine indeed is the ultimate virus of life…

NOTES
1 See for a general view of those laws my papers at the ISSS and UKSS congresses during the past decade , Tokyo Congress: ‘Fractal Universes’; ‘The Philosophy of Systems sciences’, Madison Congress: ‘Duality in biology: The plan of evolution’; ‘Duality in physics: the two membranes of the Universe’. Also available in e-books a complete description of a General Systems theory based in the duality of all Complementary beings of networks of energy and information and the specific analysis of the economic system.
2 In all general systems there is a natural affinity between lineal, energetic systems and informative systems of the same substances. So cyclical DNA and lineal proteins interact creating the cell; and lineal weapons are valued by informative metal-money with maximal price while human life has no price, exactly the opposite values than those of our biological, informative language, words, which give to human life/energy its maximal value. That hidden agenda of the values of money explains why capitalism, which affirms that mankind must be ruled by the values of money destroys Gaia, life and accelerates the evolution of the FMI complex.
3 See my paper ‘duality in Biology’to consider the ternary evolution of human races and cultures, in visual, energetic, white dolicocephalic cultures; verbal, informative, mongoloid, brachicephalic cultures and sensorial, reproductive, black, makrocephalic ones, following the ‘plan of evolution’ of all systems in energetic, informative and reproductive sub-systems.
4 In duality, unlike physics, there is not only an arrow of entropy=energy=motion but an arrow of reproduction of fractal information, which switch cyclical in different ‘ages of a system’. So we evolve from an energetic youth into an informative 3rd age, through a reproductive state, and those 3 ages create a cycle of life and death that all systems follow including civilizations,extinguished by the rival FMI complex when weapons reproduce in great numbers, causing the cycles of war described in this paper. See the paper ‘the Philosophy of System sciences’ at Tokyo Congress.
