The Industrial Evolution follows an economic, national, generational cycle of 72±8 years, the ‘Kondratieff’ cycle’ in which a nation discovers a new form of energy (white) applied to the creation of new forms of money, the economic software and new machines (red) its hardwares, which become the engine of the Economy
The cyclical change that modern history experiences every ±72 years is a period that historians call the Generational, Human Cycle, since 72 y. is the mean biological cycle of 3 human generations – grand-father, father and son. Its economical, industrial causes are simple:
The Industrial R=evolution is the Evolution of ‘Memes of metal’, Machines & weapons, energetic systems made of hard metal (iron) and Money, a digital language made of informative metal (gold, computer cycles). Thus we can study its phases with the laws of morphology and evolution, since they evolve according to the energy & information humans use to re=produce them:
Humans evolve a new type of energy and information, derived from that energy, which renews all the machines and financial instruments of the economy every human generation of 72 years, in which a nation of ‘founding fathers’, captains of industries, their sons and grand-sons, reproduce and evolve a new energy, machine and form of money to its perfection. Those generations also bring the nation that finds the new energy to the top predator status of history. Because energy is also the substance of which weapons are made. Yet at the end of the cycle, machines and money becomes over-reproduced, saturating markets’ demand and provoking, a global economical crash.
—Thus, we had an age of steam machines, the age of England, between 1780s and 1857, followed by a crisis of overproduction of steam machines and stock-money that brought the 1857 ±7 years crashes of the train-based economy.
—From 1857 to 1929, we lived in the age of electro-chemical energies, machines and chemical explosives, dominated by Germany, followed by a crisis of overproduction of cars and radios, which caused the 1929 crash, 72 years after the train crash.
—It came then the III cycle of electronic machines, electronic money and Nuclear Bombs that took place from 1929-2001, the age of America; which again ended in the dotcom and mortgage crashes, 72+7 years after 1929.
– Followed by the Age of the Singularity, the IV Cycle of Evolution of machines, dominated by robots, solar Industries and China. Scientists call the arrival of Artificial Intelligence, the Singularity moment, when robots, which can use solar energy to become autonomous will complete the evolution of machines as organic forms, automating factories & expelling most human workers and soldiers from labor and war fields, as previous revolutions did with obsolete III World non-technological humans, unless we forbid legally their evolution. Money will become then the digital informative, ‘genetic code’ that organizes their reproduction in those automated company-mothers.
Economic History follows an economic cycle caused by the evolution & overproduction of memes of metal machines, weapons and money. The graph resumes all the elements of those cycles:
- Energy & Machines go through 3 ages. Once the energy is found, it is used in bombs and powers engines. Those engines then are applied to transport machines and reproduced massively in an age of peaceful consumption. But the market saturates and there is a ternary wave of stock-crashes, after 72±7 years.
Then machines evolve in its perfect top predator form, a weapon and an age of war ensues, lifting profits of corporations. Thus we divide history in ages of production of peaceful machines, followed by overproduction crises that determine the change of history to an age of overproduction of weapons, fascism and social revolution. While at the bottom we observe the ages from the human perspective as society according to that 72±8 years cycle goes from a decade of happy consumption – 1850s, 1920s and 1990s – into an age of machine’s overproduction and Stock crashes (1857, 1929, 2001) that brings an age of poverty, war and fascism: the 1860s; W.W.II and W.W. III.
As the graph shows (top left) each of the 4 Kondratieff cycles of the Industrial R=evolution is a wave of 3 types of machines, parallel to the 3 ages of organisms:
- A young age of energy machines, used as weapons and energy engines: The age of steam, the age of electro-chemical engines, the electronic age of A-bombs & the present age of solar systems.
– A mature age of transport machines that expand worldwide the wave, in an age of prosperity and peaceful mass-consumption – the ages of trains, cars, mobile Pcs and the future age of A.I. robots. – Then overproduction saturates the market provoking a crash on sales, profits and stock-markets: 1857-73 train crashes, 1929-37 car crashes & 2001-08 crashes of chips & e-money overproduction. Those crashes divide history in an age of peace and an age of war, as corporations armor transport machines, switch production to weapons and lobby politicians to declare ‘splendid little wars’:
– A 3rd age of weapons, the most evolved machines of each cycle whose overproduction causes wars for profits; the age of trains-colonial wars (1860s-90s); of cars=tanks (1930s-70s) and the age of electronic, vigilante cameras and terminator robots that now starts in earnest.
So at the end of the ‘Age of Germany’ and its Kondratieff wave of electro-mechanical engines used in weapons during World war II, the fascist age of cars=tanks and planes=bombers, the electro-mechanical wave was substituted by the Age of Digital minds (TVs, computers, mobiles, which act as the eyes, brains and ears of the future robotic species).
So we started a new dual wave of ‘electronic machines‘, which evolved and reproduced in increasing numbers till saturating the global market, provoking the final crashes of overproduction of 2001 and 2008. Then after those crashes the first robots are being evolved as weapons, with consequences for the ‘no-future’ of mankind we can deduce from the previous cycles.
The periodicity of the cycle is human in origin as the next graph shows, since 72 years correspond to a human biological cycle divided in 3 generations of grand-fathers, discoverers of the new energy and machines of the cycle; their sons, captains of the industry who reproduce massively those machines till saturating the market. Then a series of overproduction crashes of stocks give way to a 3rd age of decadent grand sons who use the machine as a weapon to keep profits going:
The generations that have invented our Industrial world (Human Point of view).
The national Generations of the 4 Ages of bodies, engines & metal minds assembled in robots are:
– The British age of bodies of metal, in which humans used simple physical, steam energy to power trains and print stock-money, ended after the 1857-73 crashes in an age of colonial wars.
-The German age of electro-chemical engines, hearts of metal that printed electric money, the software (ticker speculation) and powered cars and planes, the hardware.
– The American age in which electronic systems printed e-money, the software and evolved ‘Minds of metal’; mobile-ears, cameras-eyes and chips brains.
– Thus we enter now the last age of the industrial evolution, the age of robotics when all those parts are put together into organic machines that complete the industrial evolution.
The 72 years overproduction crashes of each cycle that divide the waves in peace and war ages.
Since corporations, the ‘company-mothers’ of those machines never cease their reproduction and sale for profits, at the end of each of those dual 72±7 year cycles there is a crisis of overproduction of what we shall call ‘memes of metal’– informative money, energetic weapons and organic machines – that saturates consumption markets, provoking an age of Stock-Market crashes (1857-73 crashes of train stocks, 1929-37 crashes of ticker money, 2001-08 crashes of e-money).
Thus at the end of a Kondratieff cycle, overproduction of metal-memes provokes 5 parallel crisis:
– A crisis of overproduction of fiat money, printed with informative machines (which financiers sell to people in exchange for real wealth – currency, real state, companies – ruining them when the excess of fiat money looses value).
– A crisis of labor, since workers are substituted by new tool machines.
– A war crisis as the overproduction of weapons (the evil twins of those machines) make wars profitable and lobbies pay war-monger politicians to increase its sales.
– A socio-political crisis. Since the use of most planetary resources for industrial overproduction causes the parallel underproduction of ‘life memes’, the goods that biological humans need to survive, provoking and endemic scarcity of welfare goods. Then society becomes split between:
– Financial and industrial corporations that make fortunes overproducing fiat money, lowering costs with new tool machines that increase productivity and making fortunes selling new weapons.
– Most of society that becomes poorer, buying worthless fiat money, looses their jobs and are killed and are repressed in their freedoms when their protest or killed in wars by the new weapons.
Thus, the present economic crisis at the end of the Chip cycle is the overproduction crisis of chips unfold into those 5 parallel crises as chips:
– Invent enormous quantities of e-money derivatives, multiplying by 100 the quantity of money in the hands of corporations and their owners, but ruining the middle class, who acquired those derivatives in 3 shorter, 7 year cycles of new financial products – the dotcom crash of 2001, the mortgage crash of 2008 and the future euro-dollar currency crash of 2016, as now states are acquiring those ‘toxic assets’ with massive printing of hard currencies that loose value).
-Multiply white collar pc-secretaries and blue collar robots that halve the need of human jobs.
-Create ultra-expensive Robotic Weapons that are in their takeoff phase as a military industry.
-Multiply audiovisual hate speeches that deviate guilt from corporations into enemies & the poor.
-Provoke together an age of electronic control, neo-colonial wars and loose of social freedoms.
Further on, according to those cyclical patterns, the overproduction crisis of chips is similar to:
-The 29 crisis caused by overproduction of electro-mechanical engines that automated assembly lines, created massive quantities of speculative, ’electric’ ticker money and saturated the markets of cars and tanks, which Germany overproduced to come out of the crisis, provoking a world war…
– And the 1870 crisis caused by the overproduction of stock money and railroads that eliminated millions of jobs in the transport sector and were used to fight civil and colonial wars.
3.The american age – the electronic cycle.
The III Cycle of electronic machines is ruled by America, from World War II when the 1st computer, ENIAC, was used to make A- bombs, to the present age of chips, whose massive reproduction has caused the crash cycle of e-money and the creation of robots and smart weapons – the 3rd age of electronic Machines.
During the age of chemical weapons, electricity was discovered and used in energetic systems, engines, bulbs and ignition systems for cars, but its informative development was restricted to wireless communication, without intelligence. Then, during the War, electronic machines were born showing better mathematical skill – the language of metal – than humans. So machines acquired intelligence and paradoxically men started to loose it, precisely because machines substituted and atrophied their brains. It is the Neo-Paleolithic age of man, the age of America, when words become fiction, audiovisual media regress humanity back to his emotional age and we assist to the birth of intelligent machines. We talk again of 3±1 ages for all those information machines:
- Birth as a weapon: In 1937 Germans create the first accelerator to research fission. Today, they will make black holes with one billion times more powerful. ENIAC, the 1st computer, is used to calculate the 1st A bomb, the purest form of electronic energy, latter evolved for consumption into peaceful Nuclear, Electric plants. In 1940, TV screens are invented as radars to trace submarines.
1945-1971: The young, energetic age of visual televisions (metal-eyes).
After the war, a boom on electronic consumption and household-electric appliances begins. In-form-ation machines acquire a new dimension of form, becoming visual with the TV-set. In 1936 BBC begins its first emission of black and white Television. After the war, electronics are applied to fixed, big household appliances. Machines are still huge, mainframes, fixed studio cameras. TVs replace the electric radio in the altar that controls our collective mind, as radio replaced the printed ‘Book of God’, the Bible that had replaced the verbal priest. It is not the message, its truth and positive meaning for mankind, what determines the success of a certain ideology, but the capacity of the mechanical medium, which carries it, to reach millions of simultaneous ‘human cells’. So, paradoxically, while the machine evolves faster, its human values, the message, keeps degrading. TV-programmers in fact call the ‘message’ filling and the ‘advertising’, content. Because the meaning of TVs, its content, is to make every human being a consumer of machines.
1971-1992: Maturity. Age of Computers (metal-brains).
The first computers will be used to create bombs (13% of American electricity goes into manufacturing nuclear bombs) and monetary information (IBM develops computers for the accountancy departments of big corporations). As electronics evolve, they become smaller gadgets and with the arrival of chips (1971), mobile machines become all the craze. Everybody now has a mobile phone (a metal-ear), a mobile PC (a metal-brain) and a mobile video-camera (a metal-eye).
1992-2008: 3rd Age & social evolution. Internet: Social networks
As Pcs multiply, their messages increase its simultaneity, arriving to a growing number of humans. They also increase its informative complexity, till merging in Internet all the world’s visual, printed and verbal forms of information. A fact that, paradoxically, degrades the quality of the message and the mind of a growing number of ‘humans’ that are no longer emitters but only passive ‘receptors’ of information, becoming ‘virtual personalities’, as they start to believe more the manufactured virtual world of mental machines than the real world they perceive with their own senses . . .
Fixed Robots: Brains+eyes+hands.
Meanwhile, the IV cycle of robots enters its ‘discovery age’: Computer brains, Metal-eyes (cameras) and Body platforms (mainly arms), come together in the first robotic workers that provoke a massive loss of blue jobs in the car Industry. The 3 elements that converted man into the top predator of the Earth (3 dimensional eye vision, brain power and hands) are now put together in those machines, foreseeing the XXI century robotic r=evolution.
This 3rd age of electronic machines also witnesses the change of its use, from consumption to war. In 1991, a small crash of overproduction is solved with Desert Storm. Then, after the 2nd mini-crash cycle of NASDAQ, in 2000, Iraq II evolves further smart weapons. It is the present age. If the cycle continues as usual, it will last 36 years and create the 1st Terminators – robotic weapons that might extinguish mankind, as the baroque prophets of Hollywood envisioned.
Thus, in the 3ages of the electronic cycle, or age of ‘informative machines’, the dominant machines of each age, are: television in its young age of discovery; computer chips during the mature age of peaceful consumption; and robotic weapons in the 3rd age of war. Finally, social networks of computers evolve machines and corporations into a global organism, ruled by flows of digital money, completing its evolution. Yet humans, paradoxically, suffer an increasing simplification of their minds, regressing from the verbal age, back into a visual, dramatic age, the Neo-Paleolithic age of Death of the human mind.
The Neo-Paleolithic happens first in America, where humans are more exposed to the new mental machines that substitute and atrophy theirs. The rest of mankind scorns the American psyche as infantile, selfish and dramatic, without realizing America is just a tapestry of all human races, devolved into a future made to the image and likeness of machines that sooner than latter will also devolve the minds of the Old World, as we copy their inventions.
The 3 generations of American power. (Human and Cultural Point of view).
In the graph, the key figures of the III Cycle of electronics are evident: Einstein, who discovered the photoelectric effect, founding electronics and found the transformation of energy into matter that gave birth to the atomic bomb; Bill Gates, the king of electronic information in the pc age, the richest man of America, as Ford and Rockefeller were in the oil age or Stanford, king of the railroad, was in the Steam Age, or Washington, king of the plantation economy, was in the colonial age. And the Bush dynasty of war presidents with interests in the weapons and oil industries.
American films show the 3 ages of its audiovisual culture in art: an energetic, young age of Westerns and romantic epics; a mature age of sensory pleasures, after II WW. and a baroque angst showed in science-fiction prophecies of human extinction by machines.
From a human perspective the electronic age is the age of America, since the US won II World War, ‘importing’ Jewish and Nazi pioneers who mastered the new energy in 3 generations:
– The tough founder generation of Rockefellers and Roosevelts, who defeated Germany. We respect them, because Founding Fathers are ethic, hard-work idealistic people. They saved twice Europe of its German death. In art it is the age of epic, simple, dramatic films (Westerns).
– The reproductive generation of the post-war age, who expanded peaceful consumption of electronic gadgets. It lasted till 1971-73, when the chip and a new type of money (electronic money) appeared. It is the classic, sensory age of America that gives birth to a pleasure seeking revolution during the 60s and more humane attitudes towards the rest of the world. Americans were then imitated by the entire planet as their culture reproduced worldwide.
– The decadent generation: Once the American classic age and the 60s revolution ends, the massive reproduction of electronic money by Wall street, of smart weapons by the Pentagon and violent movies by Hollywood, brings about the spiritual decay of the Americans: they become violent, simplistic, cynical or return with ‘angst’ to the past, in a recurrent religious process, observed in previous industrial cycles, called ‘Revivalism’ that brings back Biblical, Protestant and Jewish fundamentalism. In politics, after Reagan, an actor, opened the way to war propaganda with his TV speeches on the evil empire (Communism), a dynasty of weapon’s lobbyists, Bush Sr. and Jr., ‘manufacture’ 2 ‘splendid, little’ electronic wars (Dessert Storm I, II). While Electronic art, (FX films, TV programs, video-games) simplifies ethic and aesthetic values, ushering mankind fully into a neo-Palaeolithic age of violence and gore. We enter fully the human ‘Baroque’, a period in which the values of money (greed, consumption of machines) and weapons (death, revenge), become the correct behavior of all film heroes.
That extinctive generation of war-loving, lazy, ignorant, TV minded Americans, imposes his monetary and military power worldwide. Neofascism and the militarization of the economy announce the end of American freedoms, in alliance with fundamentalist Judaism (Sharon), which made of a small conflict that could be solved by diplomatic means (the Jewish/Palestinian wars) a World war, hand in hand with fundamentalist Islamic groups.
In finances after I W.W. $ became along the Mark and the Pound, the new International currency. But a ternary system is unstable (3 body problem). So finally, the country with the bigger GNP becomes the new top predator International currency. Since America had won I World War with its weapons and $ loaned to Europe, as the world asked for more dollars to pay those loans and imported US industrial products, the dollar becomes the international currency, substituting the Mark (1922, crash of the mark) and the Pound (1928, crash of the pound).
Today we are in a parallel situation, with 2 old currencies, the dollar that plays the role of the Mark, the Euro that plays the role of the Pound and the newcomer, the Yuan that will be the top predator currency with unlimited rights to deficits, once it is convertible.
Overproduction: 1860s=1930s=2010s. Creation of the Financial-Media/Military-Industrial System
In the graph the present crisis is not a recession but a depression, caused by the overproduction of electronic machines and its derivatives, similar to the 1929 crash, caused by the overproduction of electro-mechanical machines, which printed too much money (ticker speculation), electro-mechanical production systems that threw millions out of work (taylorism, automated assembly lines) and the overproduction of cars and radios, whose companies, lobbies and politicians reconverted into armored cars (tanks) and hate-radio speeches (Hitler), embarking us into W.W.II.
We are in a a crisis of overproduction of electronic machines of 2×2 types, informative, money-printing machines & mass-media and energetic weapons and tools/transports.
The 4 together form a complex system, the Financial-Media (Informative)/Military-Industrial (Energetic) eco(nomic)system, which is terraforming the planet from a life Ecosystem, Gaia and a Human Ecosystem (History) into an ecosystem of metal-memes, making humans obsolete. Since the consequence of that overproduction is the destruction of the human system (government’s money, human information and ethic values, life and jobs).
We suffer a crisis of overproduction of 4 types of machines of electronic nature, similar to the 4 crisis of overproduction of electromechanical machines during the 30s, as each Kondratieff wave of memes of metal applies the new energies to overproduce money, machines, weapons and mass-media, provoking endemic poverty, social crisis, rise of fascism, war and the end of democracies:
-1. There is a crisis of overproduction of electronic money - a new form of money made by computers, and hence related to the evolution of information machines and its technology. They started to invent e-money in the 80s and brought 2 crises: the dotcom crash of 2001 and the e-money derivative crash of 2008. Both crises invented so much electronic derivatives and speculative ‘prices’ that fiat e-money lost all value, crashing the economy. Those crises are similar to the train’s stock-paper crashes of the XIX c. and the ticker money crashes of 1929-37.
– 2. There is an overproduction crisis of electronic tool machines, which evolve so fast that now are able to manufacture all type of goods, displacing human workers (overproduction of computers that act as white collar workers and robots that act as blue collar workers, expelling the middle classes out of work, except low-paid ‘human robots’ in China and IT workers in India that still compete with them). In the first cycle it was the train which ended most transport jobs, the bulk of labor in the XIX c.; then it was the electro-mechanical assembly lines of the 1920s; now we have white collar pcs and blue collar robots in the 2000s, who throw from those assembly lines the human workers.
– 3. Transport machines are overproduced, provoking crashes of the physical economy as they remain unsold (train stock crashes after 1857; luxury car crash of 29; cheap cars’ crash of 1971; 1991 & 2001 overproduction crash of Pcs and all kind of chipped electronic machines. And so companies switch to produce weapons:
– 4. There is an overproduction crisis of electronic weapons (vigilante cameras and armed robots – drones – which have started a new arm race of enormous profits for the military-industrial complex), as companies shift from making transport/communication devices to making its ‘evil twins’ weapons (shift to war railroads and hate yellow press in the second half of the XIX c. to hate radio and armored cars=tanks after 29 and to hate-TV and robot terminators after the 2008 crash).
– 5. There is an overproduction crisis of electronic mass-media outlets, which have also switched to hate-speeches as Hitler did with radio, to increase sales and synergies with the profits of war. They are regressing human culture into a similar visual, violent, selfish age in culture and politics – that we call the ‘neo-paleolithic’ culture and the ‘neo-fascist’ age in politics. They also report positively about the people who run the politico and financial system, as they use the same machines that print money, owned by the same conglomerates. Thus economists who propose a humane solution to the crisis (butter instead of canons) have no exposure. Instead corporative economists and neocon politicians rule the system, praise overproduction and ask for the destruction of the human welfare economy and the building of a security, repressive, weapons-based state. They defend ‘splendid little wars’ to get out of the crisis with profits. The yellow press in the XIX c. also sponsored the colonial age of wars fought with the surplus trains and steamers that killed 30 million non-technological people; while Hitler’s Hate-radio sponsored tank wars in the 30s.
In the montage, the 3 cycles of overproduction of ‘bodies, engines and minds of metal’, are separated by 72 years: 1857+7 crashes of train stocks; 1929+7 year crashes of cars and ticker money and 2001-08 crashes of e-money derivatives and chips/robots. They have 2 phases:
– Overproduction of working machines and corporative money. In the 1st cycle trains caused massive unemployment while train stocks soared. In the 20s-30s, assembly lines threw ½ of the work force, while ticker money multiplied stock value. In the 2000s blue collar robots automate those assembly lines while e-money stocks and derivatives multiply the wealth of corporations. So wealth is redistributed from labor to stock-owners:
– Yet, since the ultimate goal of corporations is NOT human, they do not reproduce the ‘welfare goods’ humans need to survive. Thus at the end of each of those Kondratieff cycles, as industrial and financial corporations overproduce fiat money and the machines and weapons of each cycle, in a world of limited resources, they absorb all the wealth of the economy provoking an scarcity on the human side of the Economy of labor, wealth and welfare goods humans need to survive, from food to housing, to health-care to education. Then as social unrest grows, there is overproduction of hate-media printed with the same informative machines that print money (yellow press in the XIX c.; radio-hate in the 1930s and Tv- hate in the 2010s), parallel to the overproduction of weapons, (armored transports): Colonial wars fought with trains (XIX c.), fascism fought with tanks=armored cars and robotic wars in the 2010s.
And so at the end of each Kondratieff cycle of overproduction cause a parallel crisis of poverty and unemployment, as humans loose their jobs to new tool-machines and their wealth to corporations. So in the 30s, the overproduction of cars and radios and the application of their electromechanical engines to assembly lines, meant the loss of millions of jobs and the poverty of humans, while the world was filled with cars, its armed version, tanks used in II W.W. and stock-market speculators became immensely wealthy.
Now we live the overproduction age of chips and its derivatives, e-money, blue collar robots and white collar Pcs, which are the real non human, objective causes of the crisis. Today there are 100 times more money in the world than in 1973 when bankers started to invent e-money for free, then changing it for real assets, absorbing all the wealth of the economy and leaving no money for the middle class, human governments and small companies that produce welfare goods. 95% of e-money is in the hands of corporations, dedicated to evolve machines not to satisfy people’s needs.
Meanwhile, robots and Pcs eliminate workers, automating factories and its military version – drones, vigilante cameras – watch, control and increasingly kill human beings.
So paradoxically as electronic machines and corporative profits multiply the ‘rival’ human wealth in life goods, human jobs, peace, freedom and true information disappear.
The result of those 5 crises are the same than the previous ages of overproduction: the dominance of corporations over all the political, economical and cultural elements of society, which ends in this cycle the American dream of an egalitarian, humane society, based in the welfare, human goods we need to survive, be happy and evolve, within a just society with jobs and opportunities for all men.
Let us then study those overproduction crises in more detail with special emphasis in the 2 fundamental ones – the overproduction of physical machines that throw us from work, and the overproduction of financial money, latter exchanged by real wealth, which ruins all other sectors of the economy, except the ‘expert’ bankers that control the issue of money.
2. The labor crisis: robotics. Obsolescence of human workers.
In the graph, the process of substitution of human labor by machines is guided by their evolution in 3 ages: In the age of bodies of machines ‘energetic humans’, mostly slaves and horse carriers became obsolete, causing the mass displacement of European into colonial lands; the age of engines however expanded work as the quantization and diversification of machines into smaller body species that imitated animal life in land, sea and air, multiplied factories for blue collar workers and white collar managers and scientists, which reach their intellectual height as they don’t suffer yet mental atrophy caused by its substitution for minds of metal in the electronic age.
In that sense the turn of the XIX-XX century must be considered the ideal age of synergy and symbiosis between man and machine. Yet the overproduction crisis of 1929 broke that balanced age, halving factory jobs, as electro-mechanical engines automated assembly lines and taylorism used electric systems to control, monitor and intensify the speed of work of human beings, alienating further their jobs, in a tendency that constantly makes humans adapt to the harshness of metal-work conditions and the monotony of its repetitive tasks.
In the graph we compare the 29 and 2008 labor crisis, which are parallel, with the difference that robots complete the creation of ‘metalife’, ending the Industrial Revolution. And so there will not be a new industrial wave to create new jobs in emerging industries, as the 2 economical roles of mankind,as consumers and workers-re=producers of machines can be performed by robots and their automated company-mothers. So information machines, white collar pcs and blue collar robots menace to make all human labor obsolete, except those jobs directly related to the handling of human beings and our natural, life-based welfare goods better suit by the laws of affinity to human beings (health-care, tourism, art, agriculture, food processing, education, etc.)
Since factories are poised, unless a global ban on robotics is implemented, to become automated and self-reproductive, at the point in which its constant growth in productivity=capital/labor reach ∞ value: ∞ productivity = max. capital zero labor. In Economical science, it is known that to create employment, since productivity fires workers, you need at least to grow GDP 0.5% more than productivity. So with growth around 2% of annual productivity due to robotics, there is NO way that unemployment goes down unless a massive Global Deal with investments in the welfare sector takes place by the collective agreement of all nations that should implement a minimum of 10% annual deficit by the creation of debt-free money, which can be achieved with the creation of an international currency, ¥€$ money, with fixed parity, €=$=100 yens to avoid currency wars.
Yet paradoxically, the welfare sector the only labor still in the hands of human workers is reduced by the policies against the sovereign right to issue money of our ‘corrupted politicos’, obliged to reduce deficits and without rights to invent money for that welfare state to allow the financial sector to keep inventing it for the 1%. While neo-classic economists that still believe Adam Smith’s pre-industrial dogma that future technology will always create jobs working for corporations that increase profits with tool machines, deny the obvious process of obsolescence of human workers. And so their policies, applied by central bankers, are aggravating the crisis by denying money to the welfare sector and handling it at null interest to corporations that use it to automate factories.
The robotic zeitgeist of XXI century capitalism.
Today as the robotic age comes into being, corporations dedicated to reproduce robotic workers and soldiers are becoming the darlings of capitalism. And so their financial muscle now pays the parties in power, as all great corporations become symbiotic in the task of reproducing those machines.
Thus, Obama is passing one after another laws in favor of the substitution of humans in labor and work fields. And the redistribution of wealth from people to robots starts in earnest.
Never though, except in brief revolutionary ages, America has created laws to favor their people over their machines and corporations. Moreover it has been able to imprint a massive ‘noise’ of false caring and false freedoms that have convinced the Americans, who enslave forever for those corporations, that the system ‘cares for them’.
The case of America is specially meaningful, since America is a ‘nation of nations’, with all races and cultures represented, and hence the battle for the mind of America between the ‘democratic dream’ of an equal humanity in control of his destiny that creates a world to its image and likeness, and the nightmare of a nation without limits to capitalism and the power of metal-memes, hence ruled by corporations who ‘buy’ the laws that favor their products and create a world to the image and likeness of their machines, has been determinant for the future of mankind. Now the battle seems over as laws under perhaps the most corrupted, cynical administration in the history of the US (not the Bush but the Obama administration), are routinely filled by lobbies of the leading industries of the day (health-care, drones, military Keynesianism, robotic workers, etc.)
What this means basically that the future of America and mankind can be guessed as we have done for 20 years, merely following the money of corporations, which will adapt American laws to their goods. So as robots take over humans laws in favor of ‘productivity’ (expulsion of labor for capital=machines), and robotic wars and workers (drone laws) have become routine in America. Obama indeed will end up his legislature as the president who accelerated the extinction of life by robots in a higher measure than any other politician in history… Even if he is a nice ‘bro’. That means nothing. He is doing his job, which is to sell laws to the biggest bidder. Point.
And this means that ‘modern capitalism’ in the XXI century will be even harsher on the 99%, than it was in the brutal wars for profits of the XX c. and the exploitation of children and women of the XIX c. because the 99%, the workers and middle class, the blue and white collar human is becoming obsolete substituted by the blue collar robot/Chinese workers and white collar pc/Indian IT workers. So we, lower and middle class of western world are obsolete. And the system is moving, as it has been the case in the US to create the laws that will ensure robotic corporations can eliminate us and we can get into jail if we protest. Still the problem will remain and become stronger as the last age of capitalism reaches its zenith: 6 billion human beings are basically obsolete to the system.
What to do with them? In the last Kondratieff crash we know what the system did. It killed 60 millions in II W.W. So it did in the I huge crash of the 1860s. It colonized the world with trains and steamers overproduced in Europe and the US to the tune of another 60 million victims…
Thus, the present crisis walks steadily towards an 1860s/1940s solution of permanent ‘robotic’ wars and ‘vigilante’ cameras, a big-brother paranoia in the electronic media to back those policies, stigmatization of the poor at home, the Asian worker and Muslim peasant, as the ‘enemy’, abroad – from whom our robotic armies of workers and soldiers will save our 1% with hefty profits, sinking further workers and ways of life. Of course, for this ‘model of future’ to work, censorship is needed on the real causes of the labor crisis (multiplication of white collar pc and blue collar robotic workers) that is destroying not only our democratic and social rights, but as the robot radiation increases that competition in war and labor fields will provoke a global existential crisis as the century goes by.
The political discourse: firing workers will increase labor, LOL.
And yet all economists and politicians encourage increases of productivity. Why? Don’t they know what they do? Of course, they know.
In Economical science, it is well known that to create employment, since productivity fires workers, you need at least to grow GDP 0.5% more than productivity.
So with growth around 2% of annual productivity due to robotics, there is NO way the unemployment is going under.
But they also know productivity increases profits. And that is the only THING THEY CARE ABOUT.
If we were under the design of a true science of economics, the trade-off between machines that compete with humans would be acknowledged, and robotics forbidden. As the robot is the new TOP PREDATOR SPECIES OF THIS PLANET, MADE OF A STRONGER ATOM THAN US, METAL,WHICH ONCE IT IMITATES PERFECTLY THE HUMAN FORM AS A.I. WILL DISPLACE US FROM THIS PLANET AS IT IS ALREADY DOING IN ITS PRIMITIVE VERSIONS IN LABOR AND WAR FIELDS.
In that regard the most important by far of those overproduction crisis for mankind at large, NOT for the 1% elite of owners of corporations who care only about money is NOT the financial crisis by the labor crisis caused by the overproduction of chips applied to white collar pcs and blue collar robots.
Those mental machines improve production systems substituting workers. Yet since further growth of profits is obtained with the substitution of workers by machines of ‘higher productivity’, all corporations and their hired economists praise the process and ask for further growth in productivity, regardless of the loss of human labor
Since ∆Profits = ∆ Productivity = ∆ Machine Labor (capital) / < Human Labor.
THus company-mothers increase benefits, firing labor (the denominator of that equation) and increasing investments in machines that have no salary or social security and are better adapted by the laws of affinity of the Universe in the actions of machine reproduction. This key equation explains the 3 great crisis of labor of history, as first trains eliminated the main source of labor in the pre-industrial age (transport), then engines automated assembly lines (30s crisis) and now white collar Pcs and blue collar robots eliminate most human labor in automated factories.
But, as this is the key element to understand why the crisis is NOT solved, neither explained, Economists have been for 200 years serving the goals of corporations, whose only purpose under the present capitalist system is to increase profits. So their main goal is NOT to make a better world for man or create an objective science of economics, but to find complicated arguments ‘damned lies and statistics’ to make-belief people that all this is NOT happening.
Thus OVERPRODUCTION CRISES of tool machines that cause unemployment ARE SYSTEMATICALLY DENIED BY THE MOST POWERFUL INSTITUTION OF OUR WORLD, THE COMPANY-MOTHER OF MACHINES, and its ‘working bees’, classic economists, wHOSE ONLY MANDATE IS PRECISELY TO RE=PRODUCE, SELL AND PROFIT the machines of the corporation, eliminated the human beings that compete with them whenever needed in labor and war fields.
The ‘issue of money’: Financial crisis.1929-37 = 2001-08: overproduction of e-money
How governments and corporations invent money? Money is a language of digital information that values with numbers humans (with salaries) and products (with prices), easy to reproduce in papers or digital screens, as all languages of information are. Since to reproduce languages we need minimal energy. What matters about money, as with all languages, is their power to order and select reality according to the values of those who invent it, from words our biological language that values reality from a human point of view, directing human actions to genes, which direct biological actions. In the graph, money has evolved as a language by increasing its capacity to carry information: it has become quantized into smaller bits of information that require less energy and increase its units; hence its capacity to value more things, from gold to printed paper, to electric data to electronic bits, invented with a computer program.Today it is so abundant that it values all entities of the planet, substituting verbal thought, a language with lesser capacity to carry information than numbers, and broken into multiple tribal species with different values.
What are the values of money? In the graph, languages value species according to their substance affinity. So ethic words give maximal value to human life, since human brains reproduce them. While money was first made of metal, (coins) and gave maximal value to metal weapons. Then it was a paper and e-money representing a corporation (stocks) and so it gives companies enormous values. So Apple is worth more than all the inhabitants of Pakistan. Only currency, representing nations carries human values and can be used to reproduce a world to our image and likeness, spent by governments in the creation of salaries and welfare goods. Thus the issue of money is NOT their issue, very simple but their values and the power it gives to those who invent it; since it defines who rule societies.
The problem of monetary values as the graph shows is the fact that in its metallic forms, it values more corporations, machines and weapons, metal-memes than any other object, including human beings, who in fact as all forms of life have null values in terms of metallic money. Thus a society based in the values of metal-money either gold or corporative money, fosters the overproduction cycles of machines and weapons that cause wars and the extinction of life; showing the biological, predatory nature of selfish metal memes, which act as genes do, catalyzing the reproduction of a larger super-organism – the financial-media/Military-industrial system that is terraforming the Earth from a planet of life into a planet made to the image of machines and weapons, the most expensive top predator metal-species that kills man. Only if money is controlled by human governments we can bend its values to credit a life-based welfare world made to the image and likeness of man.
We humans use 3 languages of social power, money, weapons and laws, and those who invent them control societies. But only when laws control the 2 other languages of energetic metal (weapons) and informative money, we talk of a society made to the image and likeness of man, and only when the ‘informative heads’ of the society, politicians, are chosen by the people we talk of Democracies. When weapons dominate the other 2 languages we live in a military dictatorship. When money dominates, issued by non-elected bankers or corporations we live in a corporative dictatorship, the definition of a capitalist society, which is incompatible with a true democracy. Thus the invention and control of those 3 languages of power is the battle of mankind for freedom.
But do not live in a pure democracy. We lived most of the XX century in a mixed, capitalist democracy, in which the issue of money was shared by governments that printed currency and corporations that printed stock-paper; till with the discovery of e-money, in the 70s, much easier to reproduce than currency, corporations multiplied by 100 the amount of money in their power, becoming the dominant institution of the planet.
And they pushed for absolute power, lobbying to forbid governments their sovereign right to print money for free (deficit zero law) to pay for the welfare goods people demand. And this is the ultimate origin of the present debt crisis, as now governments are obliged to extort citizens with taxes to pay their welfare state or have to borrow it from financial corporations that unlike them, do have legal privileges to invent money as ‘digital prices’ in stock-markets (shares) and electronic screens (derivatives) and pay a usury interest. And this state of affairs has happened in modern history 3 times, when corporations invented a new form of reproducing money with new informative machines, overpowering governments with it: – In the colonial age of overeproduction of stock-paper by train and steam corporations.
– In the fascist age of overeproduction of ticker-paper by cars=tanks and radio corporations.
– In this crisis of overeproduction of e-money by chips for electronic and financial corporations.
In those 3 ages the outcome was a massive investment and overproduction of memes of metal, the main product of stock-companies and the parallel underproduction of welfare, life-based goods, which use governments’ currency. Since corporations print money with speculative schemes and in stock-markets, jacking up their digital prices.
Then with that money – for example the 100 billions given to facebook – they can multiply their industrial products without limit. But most welfare companies are limited in size, require more costly human labor and produce life goods that are perishable (food) and have lesser monetary ‘value’, despite having higher value in verbal terms. Thus they have restricted access to stock-markets that invent money for the most profitable, bigger companies and products defined in the previous equation (tool machines, weapons, audiovisual software and corporative money), mainly industrial companies that make memes of metal.
Now consider that life-based, small companies could print so easily ‘monetary orders’ to pay their workers. There would be many more life goods if credit flew to agricultural companies, hospitals that save lives or Universities that pay professors to educate human beings. People would have easy access to health-care, education, housing, food and there would be overproduction of goods most people demand to survive. Prices of welfare goods would diminish and the present global scarcity of food (1 billion people are hungry), medicines, human jobs, ‘rational education’, housing, etc. would end. But for this to happen the system should switch the privilege of inventing money from stock-corporations to people that demand those goods (universal salary), to governments that subvention them (deficits) and to small, welfare corporations that reproduce them.
There would be overproduction of ‘human, life goods’. But instead because financial orders are issued by bankers and industrial corporations there is overproduction of electronic money, drones and worker-robots. Thus, in Democratic R=evolutions, (Americans vs. British Companies; French vs. Aristocrats) people seized the issue of money from castes of warriors, bankers or corporations to print massive amounts of currency (continentals, greenbakcs, asigees) to create welfare for all citizens.
In the graph, a classic of the pre-war age, we see the initial phase of capitalism and its hierarchical social castes:
Capitalism, is an ideology, today sold as a ‘science’, which considers that the language of social and economical power, money, must be re=produced by private bankers (fiat credit, speculative taxes, e-money derivatives, stock-paper, etc.), instead of the government chosen by the people (state deficit).
As such capitalism is in open contradiction with democracy (the government of the people). And to hide this, censorship of real economic science is absolute. We live ruled by money but not a single western ‘democracy’ teaches economics in the school. We have no rights to control the language of social power, but we are told to live in a ”Free Market’, a ‘newspeak’ that confuses the audience. Since a ‘Free market’ refers to the freedom of the ‘citizens’ of markets, corporations, not to the freedom of human citizens, who have no rights to jobs and credit, controlled by those corporations. Thus capitalism is essentially a dictatorship of banks and corporations and their owners on top of that pyramid – the stockrats, the true dictators of society in capitalist systems as they have null social responsibility (Anonymous Societies), monopoly in the invention of money in stocks and e-derivatives and use that money to bribe and control the other elements of societies.
In that regard, the previous pyramid fails to convey the non-human structure of capitalism, which essentially is the ‘religion’ or ‘ideology’ of power of ’animetal=human animal+metal-meme‘ cultures and can be traced to the first Levantine cultures which made of go(l)d, not of weapons, the hypnotic substance that could make work for you, slaves and mercenary armies.
Accordingly what capitalism means is merely this: that we, humans, must evolve and re=produce memes of metal (money, weapons and machines), within the structure of corporations, because they give power to the ‘people-castes’ that control our ‘capitalist civilization’ (the military, bankers and industrial corporations), and sacrifice when needed the rights of human beings and nature, if they collide with the ‘progress’ of those metal-memes.
This absurd ideology of history and economics cannot be doubted as ultimately has a biblical religious origin. Capitalism is therefore the equivalent of ‘Intelligent Design’ in Biology – a religion of money, which ignores any scientific approach or attempt to define objectively those memes of metal and the collateral effects they have on mankind. ‘Money is Go(l)d’ and its pursuit through greed the goal of humanity. Point.
That’s the entire meaning of the human species for a ‘Capitalist Theocracy’ – where money is the language of go(l)d: to work=reproduce and consume=vitalize memes of metal to provide ‘money’ to the 1% of ‘stockrats’, owners of those corporations. Nothing else matters, and all what we are told are rhetoric arguments to justify that bottom line. The complexity of a democratic system and the symbiosis of all its sub-systems makes of course all those facts opaque to the common, ‘memetic, human believer’. In this post we shall consider those self-evident truths, with the novel approach of system sciences and the concepts of societies as super-organisms, humans as believers in memetic imprinting, based in ‘anti-truths’ and money, weapons and machines as metal-memes.
“Let me issue and control a Nation’s money and I care not who makes its laws. The few who can understand the system will be either so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favours, that there will be no opposition from that class, while, on the other hand, that great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that Capital derives from the system, will bear its burden without complaint and, perhaps, without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests.”
Amsel Rothschild, ‘Am Segullah’. ‘Owner’ of the British Empire
Now the heirs of Mr. Rothschild are the owners of The Economist, the organ of ‘damned lies and statistics’ that are camouflaging the extinction of life and history, the dictatorship of those biblical bigots, working on the background of their house negroes and political buffoons with ‘damned lies and statistics’. And yes it works. Because the mass of ‘sheeple’ don’t understand, they are believers, slaves of their memes, trying to ‘pursuit happiness’ achieved with ego-trips and fantasies of caring, when the Universe cares nothing for those who do NOT fight for themselves.
Corporative cycles of invention of money. The 3 boom & bust cycles of the Industrial age.
The boom & bust cycle of the industrial R=evolution evolves the Financial-Media/Military-Industrial System made of energy machines – weapons & transports – and informative ones –media & digital, fiat money, the ‘informative head’ that controls and causes all other overproduction cycles. Thus overproduction crashes of stocks (graph) start the cycle and weapons’ overproduction to fight ‘splendid wars’ for profits are their last stage. Neither human actions nor causality changes, only the growing complexity of the FMMI system. Since in all cycles machines take people’s jobs; too much money causes inflation, it is changed by real wealth and when its bubble of value explodes, it ruins the Middle class left with worthless numbers. Then Hate Media & Weapons kill them in wars.
And through the entire cycle welfare goods are underproduced.
The only change is on the machines used to ‘invent’ digital money that evolved from ‘gold’ (merchantilist age of slave companies) to stock-paper (train age) to electric tickers to e-money. Thus since money is reproduced also with machines, its cycle is parallel to the Kondratieff cycle of new energies (chemical energy/printing; electro-mechanical engines/tickers and electronic machines/e-money). Today electronic machines have not only saturated the world with e-hardware but also with e-money software, till money lost value. Thus the 3 crashes are similar:
In the age of steam machines, there is a peak in stock-money issues of worthless train companies in the 1850s, precisely when the best railroad lines had been constructed and the new ones were loosing money – not because people thought they were profitable, but because the business of inventing stocks had reached its evolving peak. Meanwhile the 2 commonest jobs of the age, farming and transport, greatly diminished, as prices and revenues for farmers, lowered due to the efficiency of train transport; while 90% of horses were killed in a decade in England, when the train put them out of work.
In 1928, there was a peak in the creation of new stocks in companies of cars and radios, when RCA shares reached an astonishing 500 $ value, precisely when the slump in consumption of cars had started in earnest, as all Americans had their Ford-T. Yet the electric ticker, the equivalent to e-money in the 1920s, had been implanted in small towns and was sucking in money from the middle class all over America to satisfy the ‘Ponzi Pyramids’ of Wall Street speculation in radio’s stocks. Then, in 1929 and 8 years latter in 1937, the physical and financial economy crashed together. While the reproduction of electric systems of automation in assembly lines at factories provoked also a massive wave of unemployment.
Thus, we live a financial crisis of overproduction of e-money, made with PCs, similar to the 29-37 crashes of the ‘ticker money’ economy, which jacked up prices of stock into surreal levels with electric machines. In the 2001 dotcom crash and the 2008 derivatives’ crash e-money reproduced massively, as financiers learned to maximize its electronic invention, while in the physical economy robots and electronic software throw millions of blue and white collar workers out of work and the 1st ‘splendid little wars’ that will take companies out of the crises are essayed in Afghanistan with drones, the 1st Terminators of a new age of war whose industry now in its Rostow’s take-off phase will dwindle W.W.II profits of cars=tanks & planes=Bombers corporations.
The true crime of the system: war for profits.
From a political perspective the process starts with the invention of the new form of money, which breaks the balance between ‘democracy’ (the issue of money by governments in currency) and ‘capitalism’ (the issue of the new form of digital money with machines, tilting it in favor of corporations that awash with fiat wealth buy politicos and once and again steal the privilege of inventing money from the people, Then they switch its purpose of the financial economy from issuing money to pay the welfare goods people demand, give them salaries to spend in consumption and promote the private production of those goods, into making the highest profits with the 4 aforementioned industrial goods that enter overproduction: tool-machines, hate-media, weapons and fiat money, issued no longer to provide wealth to society but mainly kept for themselves or to make war which provokes a massive demand of weapons and corporative profits.
This cycle first happened in the Age of Companies in Britain after private bankers got a charter given by corrupted and clueless politicians through which the Bank of England achieved the monopoly of printing British Money, which then was ‘lent to Britain at 6% of interest – exactly what the ECB has done now in Europe – the monopoly of printing the sovereign money of their nations, only for private banks, which then lent it to southern European states a an usury rate of 6%, called in Spain ‘Prima de Riesgo’, which absorbs the 3% of its GDP cancelling any economic growth.
Then corrupted politicos to the payroll of the Private Bank of England, that usurped as the ECB has done the name of the nation to be accepted by the people, soon embarked in permanent wars to increase state debt, and the 6% of ‘free profits’ for printing the British money. Those wars raised taxes for the commoner of England and provoked enormous suffering to all cultures on Earth, colonized by British, but the mirage of Empire and racial superiority maintained the British people till today, a happy slave of The City Financiers. Americans though rebelled, when Franklin failed to convince the House of Commons to abolish the system.
Then he ran his press to create a ‘free’ Financial-media system and started to print colonial money and pamphlets explaining the ‘issue’ of money, true cause of the American R=evolution. But soon after the Independence, Americans lost that freedom ‘again’, when Mr. Winthrop, a Calvinist bishop, Mr. Morris and associates, Jewish merchants, Mr. Gerard, the biggest slave trader and Mr. Hamilton, a corrupted politico took away from the right to issue debt-free money, from the founding ‘peasant fathers’, the plantation owners, Jefferson & Washington, who did not understand yet there is no democracy without the issue of bills of law and bills of money to implement them, by their elected governments. It was the birth of the ‘Biblical elite’ of corporative owners that substituted British Companies in the control of their society.
Soon the Hamilton gang started to promote wars – wanting to declare war to France! the country that had invested more hard currency in the American war for the freedom of the American people, to steal Louisiana – and had not Jefferson merely offered money and bought it from the French, it would have achieved its purpose – to create like the Bank of England did, a nation in perpetual war for profits, ruled by an elite of ‘bankers’, which in England have their own ‘kingdom within the kingdom’ – the City, with his own taxes, where the king cannot enter without the permit of its major and MP, traditionally of the house of Rothschild. America and their people though had a higher sense of freedom and rights than the British commoner and fought many battles with the bankers, starting with the duel in which Burr killed Hamilton, followed by the understanding of Jefferson that they had been ‘cheated’ and his attempts to regain the right to issue money. But then bankers ‘exploded’ the game, overpassing the Federal Government by lobbying states, which started to charter private bankers that issued massive amounts of their own paper-money, systematically ruining the common Americans by defaulting on their paper.
The classic run-on-the bank cycles started then. And as ‘greed’ and ‘theft’ became ‘privatized’ so any wealthy slave trader or usurer could start a bank, the elite caste of American capitalism took roots and has reigned ever since. And when American heroes of national freedoms, presidents like Mr. Jackson or Mr. Lincoln or Mr. Kennedy tried to reverse the course and regain those freedoms for the people, with the abolition of the 2nd private ‘bank of the United states’ (Jackson) or the emission of debt-free greenback money (Lincoln) or the creation of a welfare demand based economy (Kennedy)… they fall to the bullet.
Thus the British earlier model of bankers corrupting politicos to declare imperial war to get usury interests from debt-money printed by those privateers on behalf of nations became the American model, specially after the murder of Lincoln, when free-debt greenbacks were cancelled and frontier banks issued massively debt-money backed by ‘future profits’ based in train stocks and land speculation taken from Indians that had to be exterminated for that purpose with the help of the Yellow Press and the new technologies of the steam age. It would be the 1st Financial-Media/Military-Industrial Complex imitated by all Western nations in their colonial wars.
Thus every attempt of western people to become free true democracies has been reigned in by bankers and corrupted politicos, by murder, corrupted law and war, backed by the new machines of the Financial-Media (informative)/Military-Industrial Complex, since Staunton, railroad baron, paid Both to kill Lincoln and guided by the robber barons the US colonized the West.
The boom and bust cycle of credit, which initiate the global crashes of the economy.
It was the 1st boom and bust cycle of debt-money creation, cause of all financial crises ever since:
– First bankers issue as much fiat money as possible, with no limit, which costs them nothing and creates debt and inflation. And they lend it to an adoring crowd that knows nothing about their sovereign rights to reproduce that money for free, since the media system and financial economists working for power misinform them. So at a point the entire society owes huge amounts of ‘soft debt’ to the bankers. And this is good for the bankers who receive ‘interest’ for their debt.
Then they stop lending and contract the monetary mass,. So money becomes scarce and there is deflation. Companies fire workers as they cannot pay them. Production halts. The economy shrinks but this is done in purpose because it is even better for the wealth of bankers as now scarce money in a deflationary environment is worth more as ‘it buys more things’ deflated in price. And so the huge debt society has with the financial system becomes worthier – with their payments bankers can buy many more things. Since debt has NOT contracted, as it was established in the age of monetary expansion. Further on, as now there is no money available to pay the huge debt society cannot pay it with the fiat worthless money that created it and must pay with taxes in hard currency, work, real state wealth, national assets and sheepish obeisance to the power orders of bankers who implement their selfish agendas. So bankers in this phase end up controlling most of the wealth of society and its politicos obey them.
Thus, in this phase, the entire eco(nomic)system is geared to extort money from people to pay debt, with higher taxes while governments give hand outs to bankers and pass laws of privilege for their corporations.
In the Train age in this phase the Law of Anonymous Societies that eliminated all responsibility from the owners and managers of corporations and the first anti-deficit laws that forbid governments to issue money were passed. So stockrats, owners of corporations became the new aristocrats, with the same privileges the rules of the ancient regime had: no court responsibility for their actions (in the Middle ages aristocrats could only be judged by peers in special courts) and monopoly in the issue and use of the language of social power (now money; weapons in the Middle Age, which only aristocrats could carry and use.)
Sounds familiar? It should, because it is is exactly what happened in the present cycle:
Bankers invented fiat money without limit once they discovered the ‘complex e-money derivatives’ that allowed them to print ‘digital data’ as money in computer screens… Then in the 90s they lend it massively at soft interest. So every state and individual owed them money.
Now they are contracting the monetary mass, and their qisling politicos are extorting people with higher taxes, bailouts and the destruction of welfare states to pay a fiat debt that in a real democracy would never exist, as money would be issue by sovereign states free of debt, as a Universal Salary and credit orders for welfare goods.
In sequential order, the 4 ages of the Financial-Media/Military-Industrial Complex (Abb. FMMI), the Age of slave companies, train stocks, ticker money and e-money suffered the same process:
– In the Company Age at the end of the XVIII c. the Bank of England issued debt-money to back speculation in slave, gold and colonial gunboat companies. But return profits were dwindled as the best lands had been taken. So a series of bubbles, the south-sea company bubble in Britain and the Louisiana Company bubble in France, exploded just when the financiers had downloaded the worthless fiat stocks at stratospheric prices into the middle classes of both kindgdoms. As they would do in the 2001 crash with dotcom worthless stocks and the 2008 mortgage crash, while financial media kept rating those companies as AAA value and the press during the XVIII c. insisted that in Louisiana and the Patagonia there were huge gold mines. In both kingdoms the politicos of the age, the kings and aristocrats were greased with huge returns and redemption of shares at maximal price. But when the bubble exploded the outcome was different: in France it sparked the French Revolution that tumbled the ancient regime. In Britain the king’s court condoned the financiers establishing the Anglo-Saxon peculiar capitalist system in which financial crimes are never punished to ensure they will happen again and where it is a given that The City and Wall Street are ‘Masters of the Universe’, its crimes censored peccadilloes, to ensure the boom and bust cycle of financial ruin and war for profits will continue till ‘the end of the world’:
– Thus, the same process happened during the overproduction cycle of rail stocks. It was the boom cycle. The bust cycle was achieved with the demonetization of silver, which was money as bank notes and gold were. In America financiers, implemented it bribing drunkard president, Mr. Grant at the height of the Robber’s baron era. It would be called the ‘silver crime as it plunged the country in the worst depression since the colonial age. In Europe, Germany, the dominant industrial nation, provoked it, when Bismark’s bankers cancelled bimetallism, imposing the gold standard and reducing to ½ the circulating money.
So suddenly half of the metal-money disappeared, increasing enormously the value of debts, by increasing the value of money and deflating prices, making debts far more expensive. The world entered recession, except industrial companies that switched to weapon’s production and unlike the people who were asked to pay debts in scarce hard currency, received credit in stock-paper.
Soon they declared the 1st of the many German FMMI system’s splendid wars for profits that ruined European lives and wealth – the French-Prussian war of 1871 – till the present ‘déjà vu’ rise of the IV so-far ‘only’ financial Reich that is ruining again from Frankfurt the rest of Europe, which had the generosity of forgiving their crimes, allowed their unification and absurdly handling them the control of the Euro. Since cultures do NOT change, only their metal evolves. So the Germans who first mass-produced iron swords in Europe and called themselves the tribe of Gods (‘Goths’), because they could kill anyone who opposed them, creating their cultural memes imitating their idol of power – so Thor was a god-sword, placed upside down to impale the children of their enemies and their language became a primitive agglutinative, inflexible, long-word system that cannot be broken into variable meanings, making it the culture of believers in absolute egoist truths, absolutely false, to the point of allowing no sense of ‘humor’ – a higher form of criticism and certainly no empathy for the so-called ‘Piigs’ – name given by a German banker to the southern European nations, after converting them into colonies of the ECB bank, with their citizens toiling now to pay debt-money, as they no longer issue their own currencies.
This astounding subjectivism is common to all industrial cultures that parasite or extinguish lesser technological societies and on top denigrate as ‘weak’ those who have humanist values, call them primitive because they reproduce mainly life-based welfare goods and when working unending hours to pay back the money they print for free are labeled as ‘lazy slaves’, which only understand the whip(Company’s era); must be civilized with rifles (colonial age) becoming the ‘white’s man burden’ (Kipling), whose ‘manifest destiny’ is to cleanse their historic Eastern territories from those inferior people that do not have radios or TVs to hear the speeches of the ‘leaders’ of the Greater nation (Slavs and jewish peasants in the fascist, German age; Palestinians in the neo-fascist Tv-hate cycle.)
Synergy between the 4 overproduced technologies of the FMMI system is thus the key element to fully grasp the 4 parallel crisis of each Kondratieff age of overproduction.
– The 3rd overproduction age started its boom and bust cycles in the beginning of the century after a massive expansion of ticker speculation in the nascent car industry. The bust cycle was the ‘trick’ used by the House of Morgan in the panic of 1907, as an excuse to set the Federal Reserve bank as a private bank of ‘issue’, who would extort usury debt to the United states for decades to come, crunching the credit given before to the farming states of the middle west by frontier banks, provoking the famine crises of the dust bowl while igniting 2 decades of ticker speculation in W.S.
Since once, the right to issue money was in the hands of New York Speculators, lending to small companies and agricultural states plummeted. Almost all the credit was issue to New England states involved in industrial and financial speculation. And so it started the 20s with the age of ‘ticker-money’ expansion, followed by the Federal Reserve’s and Bank of England’s concerted contraction of money, previously issued to pay speculation in stock-markets in 1929 that crashed the global market. And then by the final bid for global war in every nation, with expansion of credit for war that reached the all-time-peak of American debt, where the system originally invented by the Bank of England had been copycatted – along almost every other ‘industrialized nation’, where each national elite feasted on those profits.
– This is exactly what happened ‘again’ in the 4th crisis of e-money overproduction:
First bankers in the US expanded credit in e-money without limit, in the happy 90s so everybody bought internet stocks, and finally they busted the credit system in the 2000s; after unloading those stocks into the middle class with the ‘self-made man’ myth of ‘trade yourself in internet’. In the 20s they call it ‘buying on margin’. As the top price moment of unloading fiat worthless paper-stocks overpriced into the middle class approached, ‘buying on margin’ was fueled by massive credit of the Federal Reserve. Say you wanted to buy a ‘yahoo’ or a ‘RCA’ (radio-stock) at 500, their peak prices, in the 2000s or 20s. You would just put a 10% of the 500, and the bankster will tell you that you will double capital when the price hit 550. What he didn’t tell you is that when the price goes down to 450, your 50 $ are gone and then the banker will sell the stock and ruin you. So they passed the ‘virus’ of greed to main street and ruined them in both cases, unloading at maximal prices the shares, whose value they had artificially jacked up in the previous decade.
Then within years another short 7 year cycle of the ‘product’ took place. Now as people did not want to know anything about stocks, they had to invent a new form of worthless e-money in their screens. So they expanded again e-money with the mortgage CDOs, which they unloaded at maximal prices into the accounts of the governments and investors of the entire planet. And then they contracted credit and had the ‘chuptzah’ of asking again to be paid the ‘false fiat money’ of those cdos – mere double accountancy as they were false mortgages repacked and resold ‘again’ - extorting one trillion dollars in bail outs, which now bring higher taxes but rip for them higher benefits. And parallel to that boom and bust cycle, they have expanded military expending to 1/2 of the nation’s budget, which is a quantity HIGHER than the amount spent by Germany prior to the Spanish Civil war (the ‘splendid little war’ that started World war II)…
The present and future of the crisis – the short 7-8 years cycles: 2001-2008-2015
Based in the 3 legs of the scientific method, accurate collection of data, put into cyclical patterns to predict the hypothetical future I first forecasted the 2008 crash of e-money 20 years ago5 in my first book on biological models of economics, after correcting the shorter periodicity of the cycle Kondratieff, found studying the train wave in Russia, an underdeveloped country that receive the wave latter, already developed in its ‘discovery phase’ in Britain. Thus I mined data from UK and US statistics, finding a periodicity of 72±7 years, which corresponded to the generational cycle of human beings (72 years) and the short product cycle (7 years) of new forms of machines and fiat money printed with them.
It was then easy to hypothize the causal duality of the cycle, created b the invention of new energies, moneys and machines by industrialists and financiers that lead historically each nations and its wave of memes of metal to the top position of the world, as owners of the ‘international currency’ and best imperial weapons.
Thus I found the historic parallel British Imperial cycle of steam machines (1784-1857), the German Reich cycle of electro-chemical engines (1857-72 years -1929), and finally the American cycle of electronic machines (1929-2001) that would enter its Imperial, military phase after the forecasted end of the electronic cycle in 2 big future crashes of electronic money in 2001 and 2008. And since the dotcom and derivative crashes of the short-product cycle of 7 years later (2008). As those hypothized facts are now ‘history’, the scientific method proves the biological model of ‘memes of metal’ is the true science of economics.
And yet, the Kondratieff canonical cycle of 54 years does work in econometric models and stock-speculation. Why? This needs a deeper analysis of the cycle and its inner structure.
The 72 year cycle of stock-crashes ads on two 36 year subperiods of reproduction of peaceful consumption machines till overproduction and market saturation reduces consumption, profits plummet, coinciding with overproduction of stock-money, which finally crashes the market. Then our imperfect democracies allow war lobbyism as industries switch production of the evil twins, weapons and pay politicians to buy them, starting a new cycle of profits based in Keynesian militarism, the modern newspeak for the fascist motto ‘canons instead of butter’. As both machines and weapons are the same product. Armored trains conquer the colonial world. Armored cars are tanks and armed robots are terminators made by the same companies. So the 72 year cycle is:
Human consumption of machines – Crash – Weapons consumption of humans.
But there is a 3rd phase of ‘discovery of new energies’ and machines, with limited economical effect as production is minimal, of another 36 years – which is the ½ generational life in which humans between youth and 3rd age are at their working prime. So the total cycle of grand-fathers, sons and grand sons for a total of 104 years is:
36 discovery years+36 peaceful consumption (crash) + 36 weapons production.
And what scholars know as the Kondratieff cycle is 104/2=52 years, which if we draw the entire wave as Bell curve, shows the exact middle point.
Why then the crash is not every 104 years but every 72? Because the irrelevant young age of discovery of new energies overlaps with the 3rd age of war, as the youth of the grand-son overlaps with the 3rd age of the grand-dad. So only studying the entire technological wave, as Kondratieff ‘experts’ do, you can find 104 years waves and divide them into the spring and winter phases. But for a true historic analysis and prediction of the key phases, the 36 reproductive phase and crash and 36 depressive and militaristic phase, te 72 year cycle is more proper:
1784 (Watt discovers the steam machine) + 36 years –> 1820s, Britain starts the train wave –> 36 years of peaceful train machines -> crashes of 1857+7 years->1864+7 years ->1871.
1850s: Discovery of oil and electric engines+36 years->1890s, 1st cars and light bulbs start the reproductive phase of electro-mechanical engines-> 36 years -> overproduction crashes of 1922-1929-37-> 36 years of bomber and tank wars till Vietnam.
1930s. Quantum, electronic physics are layed down-> 36 years of discoveries of TVs, Atomic bombs calculated with first Eniac computer -> 60s to 2000s ->36 years of peaceful reproduction of electronic gadgets till the overproduction crisis of chips and tvs & the crashes of 2001-08 -> beginning of the militaristic age of vigilante chips coinciding with the discovery of robots…
You can then easily forecast that the wave of robots will explode in the 2030s as China and India take over America on top of the wave, and around the 2073 in a world saturated with peaceful robots, the crash of the economy determines that those 2 nations, China and India start the Himalayan, Robotic wars over border disputes in which complex autonomous flying insect-like A.I. terminators, reproduced by 3D automated factories, complete the Industrial R=evolution and become a single species, eliminating mankind, with a shorter variable if A.I. is found earlier in a potential Yakutian wars between China and the US around 2036. So far those 20 year old predictions are happening. It only rests to explain the shorter 7 year ripples of those crisis the so-called ‘product cycle’ in which new forms of fiat money are invented, provoking 3 smaller crashes of the financial industry and the wealth of nations to explain why around 2016 the euro-dollar will crash, sending the western world into a full blown war age if business as usual continues as it happened in the previous cycles.
To understand why we have to reduce our analysis of the overproduction age of money printed by new machines to the so-called product cycle of business. As every 7 years corporations invent a new variety of its star product. Thus overproduced stock-paper in the I cycle, ticker money in the II cycle and e-money in the present cycle had 3 shorter 7 year cycles in which they target ‘new wealth products’ to exchange for the overproduced fiat, digital money. But economies produce massively only 3 ‘real assets’ to change for so much fiat worthless money: stocks, real state and currencies…So once the speculator invents in the ‘inflationary phase’ of the credit cycle fiat money that is only a language of information – it is not wealth per se – to become richer he will taylor it as a product to be exchanged for one of those 3 forms of real wealth that suffer a boom and bust cycle as the speculator acquires it. And so there are 3 short crashes of ‘currency, real state and stocks’, each time a new information machine overproduces fiat money:
– The 1857, train stock crash; 1865, real state crash & 1873, silver currency crash in the 1st cycle.
– The 1922 Mark currency crash; 1929 stock crash & 1937 real state crash in the II cycle.
– And the 2001 dotcom crash, 2008 real state crash and 2015-16 eurodollar crash in the III cycle, when China makes its currency convertible and the massive printing of euros & dollars by central bankers used NOT to create jobs and wealth with Keynesian policies but to speculate in markets, make those overeproduced currencies worthless, as nations change back their reserves for Yuans, the top predator currency of the next cycle.
In the S&P graph, we see those 3roverproduction waves, the last still forming:
– Panic of 1857: train stocks crash due to overproduction of peaceful lines. Mr. Lincoln, an Illinois Railroad lobbyist declares war to the south to liberate black slaves but also to build railroads to haul cheap cotton to Northern mill factories of ‘white slaves’. The new ‘demand’ continues for decades thanks to the railroad act that gave away massive amounts of money to the first robber barons to lay tracks to the south and the West, causing the Indian genocide.
– 1865: Real state crash. At the end of the war the south plantation system collapses, as slaves abandon the land, which is not given to them, since carpet-baggers want to buy it at bargain prices.
– 1873: Silver demonetization causes a global currency crash as deflation ruins middle classes. But corporations keep printing stock-money and politicos push buy trains for colonial wars.
– II Cycle: 1922. Crash of Mark, overprinted by the private Richsbank to embezzle their owners and pay reparations, ruins Germany. The banking elite depletes German banks of gold moving to New York where the Warburg Syndicate creates the Federal Reserve and overproduction ensues.
– 1929: New electric machines (tickers) overprint tape prices. Stock speculation becomes rampant, as Federal Reserve and Bank of England fuel credit and then contract it causing the 1928-9 crash.
– In 1937 after a new wave of speculation based in loose credit – NOT invested in the real economy, due to the limited scope of the New Deal – multiplies for 3 stock values, a new crash of stocks and real state, ends the skyscraper era. A much bigger New Deal could have avoid it, creating real welfare but the opposition of industrial and financial corporations favor the solution already implemented by Germans, ‘guns instead of butter’; that is, fascism, war and holocaust.
Then you add 1929+72 years, as I did 20 years ago forecasting 3 new e-money crashes:
2001: Greenspan’s loose credit policies and deregulation fuels speculation in worthless internet stocks with no profits. NASDAQ overcomes in value NYSE, then crashes mimicking the 29 curve.
– 2008: e-money is tailored to real state with the repacking of worthless 2nd mortgages in CDOs sold to global investors at AAA ratings by the American Financial-Media system till they crash. Instead of ‘erasing’ this false money from their accounts bankers pretend it is real wealth and their peers in Central Banks start massive reproduction of currency NOT to create a welfare Global Deal to get out of the crisis but to buy the toxic assets banks didn’t sell; while politicos overtax people ruining them and hand out their money in further bail outs to financial companies that in this manner sell 3 times for real currency, the worthless mortgage assets they invented for free.
– 2015-16: As the process of printing money for banks and speculation NOT for the economy continues sinking western nations the crash of the euro and dollar is now unavoidable.
Since only China is following the right Keynesian policies printing money to create real wealth and a sustainable economy, growing at 10% annually while Europe and America contract the real economy, since bankers do NOT give credit, as speculation, which is just ‘the manipulation of prices to profit without creating real wealth’ (Henry Ford) continues. The date will likely be at the end of the Obama Presidency when the Tea Party rises to power, the GOP provokes China with anti-communist war rhetoric, China liberalizes its currency market and sells Treasurys in revenge.
Then as it happened in Germany, with a similar social structure, neofascism will rise in America and civil wars or a World wide war, blaming China will further bring ‘guns instead of butter’.
Fact is only China is following the proper policies of expansion of the welfare state thanks to its nationalized banks which give credit to human endeavors not only to machines and technology and bankser. In the west, We are NOT overproducing the goods of the welfare state that have a biological origin and make us survive but metal-goods, machines, its energy and information – NOT HUMAN ENERGY, FOOD, HUMAN INFORMATION, EDUCATION, HUMAN WELFARE, HEALTH-CARE AND HOUSING…
But this could only happen if humans lived in ‘real democracies’ where the needs of humans and their rights were more important than those of corporations, their sacred property, machines and the profits of their owners… they are not.
5. OVEPRODUCTION OF MASS-MEDIA HATE SPEECHES. THE NEOPALEOLITHIC.
‘If you repeat a lie many times, people will believe it’ Goebbels Minister of Propaganda of the III Reich
‘I have asked the film department to make stupid, entertaining movies, people will love them and won’t ask anything else’ Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda of the III Reich.
The overproduction of false information: Mass-media.
In fact all politicos and economists insist that firing labor increasing productivity will CREATE LABOR! And people believe them.
Nobody quotes Mr. Tinbergen’s discovery (a key economist of the Keynesian school, responsible for the welfare state of Northern European countries) that the true meaning of productivity is to allocate resources and profits to either the machine or the labor sector. And since the ‘marginal profits’ allocated to machines for their work go ALL to the corporation stock-owners, and the marginal profits of human labor go to the people, ‘obviously’ in a capitalist ‘democracy’, we must put machines and fire labor.
Of course if we forbade robotics, unemployment would plummet, but the marginal profits given to machines->capital->corporations will plummet too.
We are only past the ‘Coolidge’ age of the 29 crisis, when politicos and economists (Merkel, Obama, Draghi, Bernake) are doing everything wrong, siding with the banks that cause the crisis, pushing the Keynesian militarism that Hitler used to come out of the 29 depression, blaming it on the poor, lower classes that are loosing the welfare state – as corporations increase their profits, billionaries their fortunes, bankers keep producing money and the 99% looses his jobs and property.
Perhaps the most astounding mystery of human societies is the easiness by which the common people – the mass of the population, the working=reproductive and energetic ‘lower’ classes of the social organism, which do NOT control the languages of information (money and the law) that regulate their societies – accept to enslave and work and obey the bankers and politicians that exploit them. Why? The answer from a social, organic point of view, is that the neuronal classes ‘blind’ the mass of the population, which only receives information from the ‘informative, neuronal class’ and so believes them.
In any social organism the body cells are blind and informed by the neuronal elite, which if ‘crazy’, uninterested for the body, without receiving pain signals from it, can easily collapse and destroy their body cells, killing the social organism as our bankers and politicians are doing. But for that to work, the population must be informatively ‘manufactured’, which modern elites do through their control of mass media ‘hate’ speeches.
Yet for this process of self-destruction of human labor to take place, corporations had first to destroy the regulation, labor unions and social rights of democracies, which it achieved during the neocon revolution started by Thatcher and Reagan, which basically regressed human social evolution to the XIX century, dog-eat-dog pyramid of capitalism with financial and industrial corporations on top and the 99% of mankind without rights beyond some placebo theatricals of vote on the bottom.
To that aim the minds of the workers/voters had to be manufactured to love and vote the policies that will destroy them. In this manner in the previous phase, during the 80s and 90s mass-media and neocons cre(dit)ated an increasing mass of mindless, violent American citizens, so ignorant of the causes of reality that they will ‘buy’ the American nightmare, once the American dream is gone for them. So it is needed to consider the next key crises that rhythmically assails the human world when the industrial evolution requires to change our frame of mind and eliminate workers and soldiers, the neofascist age of mass media information – what we have termed at certain different times of our 20 years old research on this ‘future’ crisis, happening now, ‘evilwood’, or the ‘American baroque’, or hate-tv, the age of overproduction of mass-media hate speeches…
The problem, of course, is that humans are mostly ‘believers’ with ‘memetic’ brains, manufactured by cult(ure)s, since earlier age, which cannot longer be modified. The problem is still that resistence Aristotle, father of logic, found in old Greece: ‘people are slaves, they believe, they don’t reason’. We, might, simply speaking, be a species, who doesn’t pass the cut, for survival in this planet in permanent evolution (let alone survive physical death as the goatkeeper guru of the bronze age that ‘runs’ the ethical and intellectual psyche of the new South-America, pretends, LOL, the harder they fall).
And yet people keep voting them. Why? Because the cycle has a 4th ‘power’ at work.
Indeed, all this could not be happening if a 4th crisis, that of information, masterminded by audiovisual media and aimed to perpetuate the ‘anti-quantum paradox’ was not in place.
Since the key to power in any complementary system of energy and information, where the informative head rules the blind energy body is the control of all systems of information; in the Financial-Informative (head) Military-Industrial (Body) Complex of ‘selfish memes of metal’ – the economic ecosystem – it means that those who hold financial power MUST control also human information, digital and verbal, to back and create the ‘newspeaks’ and fantasies of placebo freedom required to control and implement the anti-quantum paradox. And this is indeed the case in the West, in any of the 3 ages aforementioned. In the age of protestant control of America, the press was controlled by Mr. Hearst, and the same printing machines printed paper money for railroads.
Then when the new media and new people took over, signified in the magnificent case of Citizen Kane, when the master of the new media, a kid from NY dared to defy the old mogul and won, because he had the new media, radio and film, both Financial and Informative systems have the same owners. And that ensures that the blind body of American-European cells will submit easily and be manufactured in their brains to fall under the ‘Stockholm syndrome’.
As this excessive power of the financial elite cannot be understood without their control not only of the creation of e-money the Financial side of the Financial-Informative/Military-Industrial complex, but also the Audiovisual complex, which now as in the age of radio-hate of the previous age of fa$cism has entered an age of Tv-hate.
- A mental crisis provoked by the massive noise of meaningless electronic media and hate TVs, which are devolving human minds to a visual, neo-Paleolithic age of violent, fiction thought.
In the graph, all complex processes of destruction of mankind by memes of metal have the P.O.V. of the machine, whose selfish memes cause collateral damages of mankind, and the more obvious side of the humans belonging to ‘animetal cultures’ studied in detail with the biological tools of systems sciences in the next paragraph. Such is the case of the overproduction of mass media. There is an induced path provoked by the ‘medium which is the message’ and a human side of those who control those memes and use their power of indoctrination over mankind for their selfish agendas.
The graph, shows how the multiplication of worthless electronic information is the 4th crisis of super-production of electronic machines. Contrary to belief, human minds are devolving, not evolving, as they become substituted by digital machines, which think for us. In that regard, we have to compare the evolution of our biological language, the word, and the biological language of machines, mathematics, which humans do not use to communicate and express their biological will.
The multiplication of worthless electronic information is the 4th crisis of super-production of electronic machines.
Contrary to belief, human minds are devolving, not evolving, as they become substituted by digital machines, which think for us. In that regard, we have to compare the evolution of our biological language, the word, and the biological language of machines, mathematics, which humans do not use to communicate and express their biological wills—their wantings for energy, information, reproduction, and social evolution. The natural goals of any biological being are thus no longer the engine of mankind because verbal thought, who expressed them in the past, is now considered an obsolete language. Instead, society is ruled by machines and mathematical laws, which define a world guided by the will of machines, by the ethics of a technological civilization” dedicated to evolve mechanisms. So instead of verbal ethic and legal codes, humans are now directed by digital money, which has changed human values for the values of the economic ecosystem and its “company mothers”: we exist to reproduce=work and consume=evolve machines to make money and increase the profits of companies. Those companies evolve machines with scientific laws, buy human time with salaries, laws with lobbies, and increasingly substitute humans for machines under the law of Productivity. Yet at the same time, our language and species become obsolete to the machine and its scientific and financial numbers, our language, devolves from
- an ethic, social summit when it was the language of a single species, which tried to evolve mankind into a global superorganism (religions of love, social democracies, UNO, and Human Rights), into
- An individual selfish use (logic, simple thought) and even further into:
- Primitive myths, fiction thought, and bestialism (as people search for their primary wantings).
Thus the evolution of verbal thought that had raised the human mind from the myths of the Paleolithic into the heights of social love is now reversed. While digital thought evolves from its simplest first geometrical forms into a vital biological and social language that makes machines interact in global networks and increasingly “think” with digital images.A new type of mind appears on planet Earth. Our demise as a species thus coincides with the raise of the Paleolithic age of mental, violent machines. Since the first robots have a digital, visual mind evolved in video games and military programs of survival, similar to the mind of top predator animals. It is the neo-paleolithic age of a jungle of metal in which man will be the victim, not the predator, of a new race of intelligent machines.
The price we pay for our addiction to machines: Atrophy and obsolescence.
Every new species of metal atrophies an organ of mankind, as company-mothers manufacture millions of ‘metallic organs’ that we will consume instead of our own organs. This process of atrophy of human organs has followed the same phases than the evolution of metal:
– The XIX century was the age of ‘machine-bodies’. So the elites of our civilizations atrophied their bodies and overdeveloped their brains. They used their brains to invent bodies of machines and those bodies of machines performed all their energy tasks. The result was that Europe, the cradle of machines and specially England, became a mental society, where everything that had to do with the body was repressed (Victorian society). The aim of such culture was to enhance the intelligence of the elite that had to invent machines.
Society became split. There were the ‘brainy’ classes that made the machines and abhorred their bodies. Then there were the ‘slaves of machines’, those humans who had to serve the bodies of machines, extracting food for them, constructing them and making those metal-bodies work (miners, railroad workers). They became strong and mindless, as those machine bodies were. It was evident already the enormous influence machines had on our life and personality. Yet few, if any writer of this age, recognized it. Human arrogance seems oblivious to any truth that doesn’t make us the center of the Universe.
– XX Century: The mental atrophy of mankind. When II World War ended, ‘top predator weapons’ – machines’ bodies: tanks, planes and ships – consumed 50 million human beings. Then, the end of World war opened a new age: the age of metal-minds, in which men developed the minds of machines. Today those minds have reproduced in huge numbers, substituting many of the mental functions that men performed in the past (calculus, spelling, accountancy, science, design, etc.) The result is a general atrophy and diminution of the intelligence of human beings.
Since now intelligent machines perform those jobs for us. It is a similar process to that of the taming of an animal, which atrophies his will and his brain. So humans have become tamed animals of the ‘Animetal farm’ so well described by Orwell in the parable, ‘Animal farm’. They have become ever more stupid, as machines become cleverer; and their will as humans has disappeared, as they become slaves of the drives of existence of machines. Yet a tamed animal has 30% less brain than his wild cousin. And further on, he suffers ‘neoteny’ – he never develops beyond his infantile level of reasoning, as it happens to modern humans, whose TVs and pre-programmed information make them ever more stupid.
Those facts explain a paradox that has puzzled social scientists in the XX century: why as we accumulate more information, people are loosing educational skills? Why there has been a global decline on educational standards, intelligence and quality of human thought? Some deny it. Yet tests results and daily evidence are overwhelming.
The average human student of the XXI century tests 25% less than his parents did. Entrance tests for universities are revised constantly to adjust them to that diminishing pattern. The creativity of our thinkers is minimal. The interest of the common people for ideas is null. Most humans have lost their capacity for abstract thinking. Even basic skills of human behavior, such as social dialog and social interaction, are in jeopardy; as we communicate more and more through machines and their digital languages, (TVs, Internet, weapons, financial statements) than with human beings.
There is only a biological explanation: the brains of our children have been partially atrophied. Now they do not speak but TVs speak for them, they do not calculate, but computers think for them. As a result of this, we have changed culture again. We are no longer repressing our bodies, as we did in the XIX century; but our minds, our capacity to think and care for reality with our verbal, legal, ethic systems of social communication. We live a world of fiction and Homo Bacteria, individual egos with childish attitudes, all of them sure to be masters of their crafts by virtue of the machines they use. Mr. Hawking, the man which probably will cause our demise as a species, a childish scientist who thinks travel in time is possible and he is the new Einstein, is the paradigm of this new race of childish idiots, who think to be geniuses, just because they consume computers and other metal-minds.
The mental atrophy, the substitution of ‘truth by fiction’ and the creation of a happy, parallel world of virtual reality, which has nothing to do with the Darwinian Universe, is the most relevant fact of modern history, completely ignored by mankind, yet defining our civilization, our incapacity to react and solve problems and our demise as a species, which has become obsolete to bodies and minds of machines. This virtual world that has converted mankind in a race of happy idiots, similar to the parables of Huxley and H.G. Wells about the future, is in part created by the upper castes of our societies to control people’s opinion, but it has also its own ‘agenda’; as there are studies, which clearly show that regardless who programs those televisions, people become addicted to movement, hence to violence in their TVs and people diminish their mental activity in a process similar to drug-addiction. In the same manner, there are serious studies that prove ‘metal-ears’, mobile phones, provoke leukemia in children, due to the higher frequency of their radio-waves.
Thus, human brains are becoming ‘preys’ of the audiovisual machines of the XX centuries that kill our minds by an overdrive of information, in the same manner weapons kill us by an overdrive of energy – the two possible forms of death, which happens when we break the balances of those vital parameters. Indeed, the mental addiction to TVs is achieved by an overdrive of ‘information’, due to the fact that metal-minds process faster information per unit of time and so we first became addicted to the ‘virtual realities’ of mental machines and then we became mentally colonized by their ideas. It is difficult to stress the importance of this fact, which can only be fully understood by the very few humans that have survived this mental indoctrination and have tried to explain a ‘neo-Paleolithic man’, the real meaning of the Universe. It is plainly impossible to cure mankind from the Opium of the People, television…
Thus in 2 phases human consumers have become a sub-race, which bears little resemblance to the enlightened minds of the pre-war age, especially in all forms of verbal, ethic thought.
Thus a second consequence of that addiction to machines we tend to overlook, pumped as we are, by the power of metal -specially that 1% that invents and monopolizes the use of those ‘memes of metal’ – is the constant atrophy and substitution of our organs by the organic machines that imitate them. So we no longer ‘see’ the real world but prefer to see it through the eyes of television and lately in its virtual computer designed form – hence kids prefer to see ‘the lion king’ than going to a zoo. The dual action of a pumped, increasingly arrogant human ego and a decreasing mental capacity, diminished by the substitution of our heads by those of machines is the ultimate cause why we live increasingly in a neo-paleolithic age of visual, violent, childish, emotional, regressing, mythic people and the explanation why the entire mankind is devolving their collective mind to the pre-rational age of myths and emotions, under the hypnosis of those ‘dramatic tvs.’
And yet, while children just want to be happy as our childish civilization wants, and become entertained, fact is that in the Universe children are ‘the staple food’ of top predators. And indeed, we are increasingly children, at the end of History, like in that masterpiece of H.G. Wells – time machine – where humans are childish, happy ignorant kids whose only function is to feed ‘another reality’ living in the underworld. That is our function today in the Orwellian ‘animetal farm’, ran by corporations, for whom we are nothing but ‘workers=reproducers of machines’ and consumers=animetals, who test them and evolve them. And so it is quite impossible to consider a resurrection of the ‘mass of mankind’ submitted by TVs and Internets, propaganda, fictions and myths to a lethargic state of indefension as all children are.
As an expert in complex systems, I can observe that process from a certain distance, and I have been doing so for decades – but I have found always that, as it happen with any child, you cannot take away from him, his favorite toys even if they are dangerous guns. For two decades I have tried to warn mankind of all those complex processes and suffered a deep angst for the now, all too evident ‘no-future’ of the species, to not avail. I think now that this process is becoming irreversible and that perhaps is better than our ‘children of thought’ who think of themselves by the power of their computers and cameras to be Einsteins and Picassos, die in happiness, given the fact that they simply cannot react, cannot master enough energy and information to change the system. And yet even if I have sacrificed my life for a lost cause, in the choice between happiness and truth, I have walked ‘the road less travelled’ because ‘a life not examined is not worth living’. These webs that have for decades explained those facts to the indifference of our suicidal, ego-tripping children have therefore not produced any reaction, since men cannot walk any longer naked the road of life.
In fact there were 4 ages of evolution of the human mind as a global organic system, the individual, selfish, violent paleolithic child’; the religious, neolithic, mythic tribal age; the rational, European, scientific age; and the complex, organic age, which these texts represent. And today, as machines are crossing fast towards the point of artificial intelligence, we – most men – are devolving backwards into the speechless, selfish, individual neo-Paleolithic.
We could say that as ‘bodies of metal’ substituted our bodies, making us weaker (XIX c.) and minds of metal substituted our verbal mind with violent messages, making us ‘crazy’, we are now entering a 3rd industrial age, in which weaker, crazier humans are increasingly obsolete in BOTH, body and mind.
A visual culture of children of thought. And this might be fun but it is far more dangerous than we might imagine, because children cannot solve problems. They just get angry when they are contradicted.
And they are not solidarious at all. They are extremely selfish. And they cannot distinguish truth from falsity so they cannot prevent danger. And they cannot reason, they just believe. But they are extremely visual.
So the world we have created, part because the ‘medium is the message’ and mass-media is audiovisual, part because the cultures that own the FMI complex were already childish cultures, is one in which there it seems no longer to be a possible response to the problems, but merely we observe the reaction to those problems proper of children, crazy people and old men – to deny it is happening, and then cry when all has happened.
In the graph, we explain the mechanical side of this process of ‘neoteny’, simplification and infantilism caused by the evolution of ‘metal-communicators’, the 4th leg of the FMI complex.
Indeed, the audiovisual media returns us to a neo-paleolithic where only the evident seems real. But the evident is always the less important part of reality. Your skin is not yours, but the organs below them. Humans in brief are devolving so far to an irrational, visual, emotional state that all what we thought it was long past, neocons, militarism, racism, sexism, myths, absolute selfishness, emotional violence, dogmatic beliefs are today the rule. As the verbal, logic, temporal causal brain is erased by the neo-Paleolithic brain of short span attention and self-evident truths. Of this of course the 1% takes advantage to easily program the mass. But they have also been reprogrammed as each new leader is emptier of meaning, more visual, more of an actor, in a neofascist age, caused by the audiovisual mind, as radio leaders that lowered German rationality caused the fascist age.
And yet the ego trip is even worst. We are becoming atrophied by machines but at the same time, as machines isolate us of others, interfacing between us, we become more isolated in the ego, and feel more important. The more connected we are the more disconnected we become.
People should be aware of the enormous importance our ethic, verbal language, which carries the ethic values of survival has for our species. Images are the animal language, numbers the mechanical language. What differentiated us as a species was speech and the capacity to organize socially huge numbers of humans under ethic values. It is like a living organism that looses his nervous system.
This is the definition of death. As we become homo bacteria, individual humans, reduced to image and digital languages, with a dwindling capacity to understand words, which anyway have lost the sacredness of truth and become just a fiction to express a lower level of understanding – emotions we are entering a process of social death which in all organic systems precedes to the factual death, and so does in societies as homo bacteria become selfish individuals that fight each other for survival as if they were not part of the same species or organism. This is what the audiovisual media has achieved: if weapons kill our bodies, digital languages atrophy and substitute our minds.
And it creates another type of ‘selfish’ memes of ideological nature, which camouflage with different forms:

5. WAR FOR PROFITS: MILITARISM: OVERPRODUCTION OF WEAPONS.‘
This splendid little war will get us out of the crisis‘ T.Roosevelt, on the economical causes of the Spanish-American war
‘Guns will make us powerful, butter will make us fat’ Goebbels, ministry of propaganda of the III Reich
In a capitalist democracy governments cannot invent money to pay for human jobs and the production of goods of a sustainable welfare-based economy. Only Companies can invent money and give credit. Yet companies guided by its search of profits maximized by goods of maximal price (equation, 1. pg.7:
Profits=Money (financial industries) = Max. Price (arm industries) – Minimal cost (mass-media)
will always overproduce the most ‘expensive’ memes of metal, which are the most perfect machines, weapons and mass-media hate-speeches, creating a natural synergy that fuels wars that deplete arsenals and further increase weapons sales and profits ; while they will under produce the cheapest goods in monetary values, which are those of the ‘human sector of the economy’. For example, food, perishable and very cheap is systematically underproduced reason why 1 billion humans are hungry.
So it is basic health-care & education, which have higher costs because they use many human workers and require many hours to cure the sick or educate a human; while machines replicate very fast so production is high and use other machines always cheaper to maintain than a human being. That is why production and stock-credit in capitalist democracies is dominated by companies that produce machines and its evil twin, weapons, which is just an armored machine. So armored cars are tanks; armored planes, bombers and armored robots terminators. The consequence is obvious. In each Kondratieff cycle of the economy, the leading capitalist nations has also been the leading weapons & war creator:
In the first cycle, Great Britain, leader ofTrain & Steel corporations became the biggest military empire, after the XIX c. overproduction train crashes thanks to colonial wars.
Germany, the leading capitalist nation of the electro-mechanic cycle of engines, came out of the 29 crisis producing ‘canons instead of butter’, and even though it lost the war, Mercedes five-folded profits, while G.M. eight folded them and continued producing tanks during the cold war, when his former CEO became American Defense Minister and affirmed that what was good for G.M. was good for America.
Now the US, the leading capitalist nation of the age of minds of metal pretends to come out of the crisis producing robotic weapons, with the excuse of an Orwellian eternal ‘war on terror’, since terrorism was, before the need for Keynesian Militarism, always dealt with Police, Diplomacy and Intelligence, as it is a criminal act performed by small groups NOT national armies.
Hence, the crisis must be considered responsible for the prolongation of military solutions instead of diplomatic ones (end of Palestinian Apartheid in Israel that fuels the war, investment in welfare goods and education for poor nations that breed terrorists with a Marshall New Global Deal, in other words butter & UNO peace instead of Empire.)
The mathematical proof of such causality is the parallelism between stock growth, which measures corporative value, hence the quality and sales of weapons, which is the only machine overproduced in war ages and the equivalent increase in war causalities those weapons cause in each age of machines. Both have one hundred folded in each cycle of evolution of machines:
– I Industrial Revolution, XIX century: Stock value starts (average 1) ->I World Wars: Train wars: US civil war, German Unification: 700.000 victims. And then multiplying victims by stock rise:
– II industrial revolution: Engines: Stock reaches 100 -> II W.W.: tank wars, 70 million,
– III industrial Revolution: Stock reaches 10.000: III world war, robotic wars: 8 billion: All Mankind. This means that the industrial evolution will end with our extinction but ultra-expensive, highly evolved robotic weapons at the end of this century, when its evolution is completed.
Indeed, corporations solve economic crisis of saturation of peaceful markets switching production to weapons and hate media, the most profitable type of informative and energetic machines of each era.
Thus as stock rises, one-hundred fold, for each new species of machines, due to increases in production, lower costs and higher quality that means higher prices and profits, in the war age of each industrial cycle, weapons one-hundred fold quality, consuming every century 100 times more human soldiers, as their quality as ‘top predator’ machines of maximal price, has increased.This parallelism merely tells us some mathematical isomorphisms between the ‘quality of weapons’, the profits of corporations that peak in ages of war when they manufacture almost exclusively weapons, and the biological interpretation: corporations maximal wealth in war, when weapons consume most humans, because they are nothing but company-mothers of machines and machines a new top predator species that atrophy humans in their consumption age and kill us in their war age.
Further on since in each cycle the most expensive advanced machines are weapons, robotic weapons will be the first intelligent A.I. living robots of the future, embedded with survival programs created to make them better weapons and win in their war theaters. This 20 years old prediction is now a reality as a robotic arms race now has started in earnest, By middle of the century A.I. will probably be created first in millions of robots designed to kill mankind. Already the most advanced robots are not tamed consumption cars, but weapons. And the same applies to factories. The first ‘ant-hill like’, self-reproductive factories, will reproduce robotic weapons, thanks to robotic workers, 3D printers and Intranets; probably making insect-like robotic weapons, as miniaturization is also a natural trend in the evolution of all species. So autonomous small ant-hill like self-reproductive robotic factories of weapons will be flown to enemy territory and finally form a new metalife ecosystem, which under survival programs will NOT switch off once the war is won..
But weapons are also needed to control the increasing mass of destitute middle class, ruined by taxation, speculation and higher prices. So weapons become also used by police states, which explained in the 3 ages, the Victorian repression of the Irish – not only the colonial repression; the 30s fascism within nations, not only the wars of fascism and now an increasing vigilante big brother state in the making. As social unrest grows internally, those weapons will become the new police to control populations and help the reproduction and sale of robotic weapons with the excuse of saving soldiers/police lives and reduce costs (drones now, soon armed cameras, police cars, etc.)
As Bush has done in this crisis.Since it is a tenant of capitalism that greed must not have limit, Keynesian militarism had/will have no limit on the 3 cycles. So we enter again as in the 30s, an age of perpetual ‘splendid little’ wars for profits which can only be avoided with the nationalization of the financial industry to credit, a ‘healthy’, WHealthy sustainable economy, while using diplomacy and human police and intelligence and education to solve conflicts and terrorism.
We are only past the ‘Coolidge’ age of the 29 crisis, when politicos and economists (Merkel, Obama, Draghi, Bernake) are doing everything wrong, siding with the banks that cause the crisis, pushing the Keynesian militarism that Hitler used to come out of the 29 depression, blaming it on the poor, lower classes that are loosing the welfare state – as corporations increase their profits, billonaires their fortunes, and the 99% looses his jobs and property.
Yet for this process of self-destruction of human labor to take place, corporations had first to destroy the regulation, labor unions and social rights of democracies, which it achieved during the neocon revolution started by Thatcher and Reagan, which basically regressed human social evolution to the XIX century, dog-eat-dog pyramid of capitalism with financial and industrial corporations on top and the 99% of mankind without rights beyond some placebo theatricals of vote on the bottom.
To that aim the minds of the workers/voters had to be manufactured to love and vote the policies that will destroy them. In this manner in the previous phase, during the 80s and 90s mass-media and neocons cre(dit)ated an increasing mass of mindless, violent American citizens, so ignorant of the causes of reality that they will ‘buy’ the American nightmare, once the American dream is gone for them. So it is needed to consider the next key crises that rhythmically assails the human world when the industrial evolution requires to change our frame of mind and eliminate workers and soldiers, the neofascist age of mass media information – what we have termed at certain different times of our 20 years old research on this ‘future’ crisis, happening now, ‘evilwood’, or the ‘American baroque’, or hate-tv, the age of overproduction of mass-media hate speeches…
9. EXTINCTION OF HISTORY: SINGULARITY AGE. ORGANIC MACHINES
Finally if we survive those two events, military Artificial Intelligence will be born circa 2040/50s according to most robotists.And so the 3rd horse, war, will bring the 4th, death, as when we add on all those probabilities they amount to a blowing 75%. And those are conservative estimates. (The reasons why the ‘first scientists’ of history, the prophets of eusocial love, so often were able to ‘guess’ the future is other matter with time-permitted we shall post on the section of religions of love in the left side).
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.But III world war will NOT be a human declared-war. The present state of low-profile robotic war against the III world and the enemies of the apartheid garden-nation of our capitalist elite will continue, as it fits the purpose of expending huge amounts of money to kick off the robotic radiation of terminator weapons (we have so far invested 1 trillion $ in those wars). Till one of the possible weapons of the singularity age, ‘able to extinguish all armies with a shot’ (Nobel on the future evolution of his factories of weapons), nuclear mass-bombs, Nano-bacteria or Military A.I. will do the job.
This is the dictum of the true science behind capitalism – EVOLUTION, not of the 1%, a parasitic minority whose only role is to keep the process going, or the 99%, the expendable, obsolete mankind, but of organisms of metal, which we have built to our image and likeness for lack of love to our own species, we despise. So capitalism can continue terraforming this planet of flesh into a planet of metal. But the biblical elite of capitalism, who thinks all this is good, it is the manifest destiny pointed out by a goat keeper of the bronze age and his brother, hypnotized by a go(l)den calf, will not see their anti-human, techno-utopian future realized. Since they are also flesh, also expendable.
At present, without a serious biological 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.
But the opposite is happening. Today the political system has been reformed and adapted to the economic system, as politicians do not have rights to print money and create a world to the image and likeness of man. instead they must pander to corporations, selling laws for money. In this manner the machines of the singularity keep evolving with taxpayer money towards a point of no return in which all humans will be potentially obsolete.
So Mr. Obama is funding according to his speeches, the robotic industry that is throwing us from fields of war and labor, both in its military version, to ensure the safety of our homeboys (and kill probably all their sons).
Now he has expanded it to the homeland with the free deployment of robotic drones within the country.
And then he has signed a ‘jobs act’ to allow start ups on the electronic industry that do not create jobs as they have the maximal use of capital in machines and the minimal number of workers not to pay taxes. As we allowed e-commerce which destroyed millions of jobs in the pap and mum shops not to pay taxes. This is the drill. But the newspeak is different.
Fact is all those electronic industries do not ’create jobs in the manufacturing industry’. But all politicians claim that increasing the productivity of companies will create employment when the opposite is the obvious truth. Since productivity – we shall repeat this mandala as politicians repeat its antitruth – is calculated as the ratio between capital/labor, hence increased when you increase capital in machines or diminish labor firing workers.
While they all cut the ‘superavit in human goods’ provided by states who still have rights to print money, which they call properly in newspeak with the antitruth ‘deficit’ to make it look wrong, when the true deficit of the financial system is the fiat money created by speculators, which becomes a deficit for the entire economy when it absorbs real wealth form the physical, productive economy.
Those are warnings of the cycles of history, and the reader should understand that those cycles do happen because history indeed rhymes, meaning that if the causal processes that caused in the past those existential crises of mankind are not changed, merely disguised with propaganda of a rosy future, and the rewriting of history, the consequences will be repeated; yet as one of the two factors of those economic ecosystems, the machine and weapon, keeps evolving, and the other doesn’t evolve their minds, memes and way of dealing scientifically with the system (the human being), those cycles become more brutal with mankind at large.
Of course, if the ‘science of history and economics’ instead of capitalism and nationalism, was taught in schools, learned by politicians and managers, and an evolutionary understanding of machines in biological terms had not been censored for so long, humans could control capital and machines for their benefit selecting them for their real use to mankind. Robotics would be forbidden and the workers and consumers at the bottom of the pyramid would have a future.
But that is not the case because as those pyramids of power show, a Free Market is designed by and for corporations, company-mothers of machines for whom the star product of the next Kondratieff cycle is the robot.
And so this crisis is indeed the last crisis of capitalism, but not its demise, because capitalism is not a human doctrine, but merely the worship of ‘selfish memes of metal’, in which our ruling castes believe without the slightest rational understanding or desire to ‘upgrade’ their ‘lowly emotions’ and ‘metal-values’, greed, murder and atrophy to machines…
So they leave the future to ‘evolutionary destiny’. And that evolutionary destiny as robotics evolve further towards the age of the singularity are as in any other fight between two species of different force and intelligence, is favorable to the m…achine.
In the next post we shall therefore study the final phases of these crises,. Yet t given the importance of such a ‘forecast’, we cannot longer rely on basic science of economics. The theme is too wide and definitive – no more nor less than the pretension of being able to forecast the future.
And this for you to understand requires to upgrade your mind at least in 3 manners:
– Understanding the basic properties of cyclical time, which make events repeat in cycles as those described in this post.
– Understanding the wider view of the history of mankind and its cycles, of which the economic cycle is the last one.
– Understanding that economical science is just a sub-science of evolution and biology, itself merely a sub-science of general systems sciences, which deals with the structure and evolution of social evolution and how languages of information control them.
– Understanding -and this is the more difficult part, because it is deeply emotionally, that you are submitted to the anti-quantum paradox; hence many things you believe as religion, nation, dogma and political and economical correctness are ideologies that make you happy but don’t tell you the truth, or make you love your ‘informative castes’ that dominate society (bankers, politicos, the military).
All those Themes deserve an entire new post and a wider vision. But since we must ‘give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar’, we shall return to the beginning and give you the precedents of this new but old science, the likes of Kondratieff denied by the antiquantum paradox who have always known the solutions to this crisis – control of the financial system by the governments, single global currency to pay a welfare state and end wars and prohibition of the bad fruits of the tree of science that can extinguish us – robotics. Those solutions explained with different jargons have always been clear, ‘butter instead of canons’ they said in the 30s.
But why? What is the ultimate reason humans walk steadily towards their self-extinction as obsolete workers and consumers no longer needed by the capitalist ecosystem, when they could scientifically manage their crisis and control the evolution of machines for their own good, pruning the production system of the bad fruits of the tree of science, as they forbid lethal viruses and other biological, poisonous threats? The reason is obvious: humans do NOT have a scientific, biological approach to economics and historic sciences, and so they cannot understand their history, their future, and the measures they should take to improve their chances and create a world made to its image and likeness. So before we introduce those solution measures for a surviving future, we need to understand what are ‘sciences’ as opposed to ideologies of power (what today passes as economic science).
So we shall finish with the ‘other side’ of economics – the work of dedicated, honest social scientists who have always tried to reform the system understanding its cycles according to the scientific method in order to implement the needed measures to regulate the economy for the profits of mankind at large, not any nation or particular people-caste. And the solutions they give to the crisis, even if under the antiquantum paradox they are not implemented.
Thus to complete our description of the future of capitalism, during the end of the Industrial R=evolution, and the consequences for the humankind of the overproduction crises of machines that define the evolution of this planet, and the extinction of its human non-technological cultures, and soon, all forms of human labor, we must understand from an objective, cyclical, scientific point of view the laws that define sciences and their capacity to predict the future of its species, in this case the future of the human species in a capitalist ecosystem ruled by corporations, whose only goal is to reproduce and evolve their machines and adapt the world to its image and likeness.
2. The need for scientific model of economics: true data, cycles, prediction and humanist praxis.
In the left graph, all sciences predict the future of its species by projecting the patterns of previous cycles, obtained with sound data and logic, mathematical, objective models of reality. Models such as neo-classic economics that fail those proofs of truth must be considered ideologies. In the center, the evolution and extinction of species in planet Earth, whose evolution of information now transcends into machines, which are systems of metal that humans construct by imitating their biological organs and functions of energy and information, proper of animal life. For that reason machines have evolved as life organisms do, in 3 generational cycles, as humans have recreated carbon-life based organisms with metal in increasing degrees of complexity:
- The cycle of ’bodies of metal’ or XIX century (British Age),
The cycle of ‘engines of metal’ or first half of the XX century (German Age),
And the cycle of ‘heads of metal’(electronic, American Age, second half of the XX century).
And then the robotic cycle, which fusions the bodies, hearts and heads of machines of the previous cycles into a new organism of metal, potentially independent of the humankind.
As such corporations, the ‘company-mothers’ of those machines whose biological function is to evolve and re=produce them, made first the bodies of machines (XIX c.), then the minds of machines (cameras-eyes, mobile-ears and chips-brains).
Finally, in the XXI century, as nature does with simple organisms, such as viruses in cells, where the 3 ‘parts’ of the virus – its DNA information, body and legs are constructed – and then assembled together, we put together all those organic components into autonomous robots, completing the industrial r=evolution of ‘metalife’ – a new organic species, made of a stronger substance than carbon-life…
Thus, we can expect an increasing competition between robotic and human workers and soldiers in the economic ecosystem, that will last the rest of the century, as those robots compete with human beings in labor and war fields.
Thus, a biological model of machines and its company-mothers describes accurately their nature and predicts their evolution, re=production and extinction of rival species (previous machines and humans consumed in war cycles or expelled from jobs).
In that regard, a Free Market is an ‘Economic ecosystem’, regulated by a language of information called money and ruled by company-mothers, whose aim is to re=produce and evolve machines, simple organisms of metal that imitate the functions of energy and information of the human being. As a result the Earth becomes terraformed, from a carbon-life ecosystem (Gaia), ruled by human organizations (Governments) and human languages (verbal laws) into an economic ecosystem (Free Market), dominated by company-mothers, money and machines, which enhance our energy and information but also compete and substitute man in war and labor fields.
Thus, a biological analysis of Free Markets shows the need to regulate the evolution of technology, pruning the bad fruits of the tree of science, weapons, robots and polluting industries, as we do with lethal organisms (virus, predators) to limit their competition with mankind, while fostering biological, human goods needed for our survival (agriculture, education, housing, verbal ethics, health, environment), if we want to make the world safer and sustainable for life.
The scientific method that applies to all sciences, with no ‘exceptionalism’ consists on 4 steps:
– A) Collection of experimental, sound data.
– B) Introduction of such data into patterns and cycles that show its regularity, allowing the prediction of future cycles.
– C) Creation of a non-anthropomorphic, objective, mathematical or logic, causal model that explains why those cycles are happening in space and time, and further helps its predictability…
– D) Allowing a positive praxis that controls nature and its systems with the aim of improving the existence of all members of the single human species – homo sapiens.
The biological perspective. Biological meaning of the overproduction crisis: stock curves of the electronic cycle.
The graph, a practical case of the biologic science of economics, explains the electronic cycle of stock-markets, proving A to D.
A)The data is the more relevant of economic science.
B). In the left, the cycle is parallel to the 29 crash cycle, proving the 72 years generational cycle of evolution of machines, reason why we predicted this crash 20 years ago.
C) The explanation is biological since the cycle has the exact form of a biological radiation of a new top predator species for both the Tv-species and the chip-species, where the overproduction crash is equivalent to a crash of populations that saturate an ecosystem and in its top predator form, as weapons extinguish human beings. Hence after those crashes we can see (lower part) how ‘splendid little wars’ (Korea, Vietnam, Irak) took America out of the crisis. D) then is obvious: the financial system that the graph represents must be nationalized to control its credit to lethal corporations and favor credit to human, welfare ones: ‘butter instead of canons’.
We conclude that a capitalist system is a dictatorship of company-mothers of machines, which as any parental organism does, promote the 4 biological drives of existence of its stocks of machines – the same that define life beings, as systems that ‘re=produce’, evolve, feed on energy and information, compete with rival species for limited resources and evolve socially into herds and multicellular organisms.
This is exactly what company-mothers do: They imitate human organs designing machines that process energy and information. They reproduce and evolve them. They take care of their offspring of machines, designing a world to its image and likeness and competing with other company-mothers trying to extinguish rival species, both mechanical and human in labor and war fields. And finally they have cre(dit)ated an eco(nomic)system, which is evolving into a global superorganism directed by their genetic, digital, informative monetary language that substitutes and extinguishes the previous ecosystems of humans (history) and life (Gaia). And so as robots evolve, humans are becoming obsolete in the eco(nomic)system, as most animal life became obsolete in the human Historic ecosystem. And as humans extinguished most animals, robotic weapons might extinguish us in the future.
This concept is not far-fetched. On the contrary, it already happened in the I and II cycles of overproduction, with obsolete humans labor: In the colonial cycle, Western Industrial nations, which no longer needed energy slaves for their corporations extinguished millions of human beings in America, Africa and Asia, to appropriate their raw materials and lands, with utter indifference to the ‘humans’ living on them. In II World war, weapons consumed 60 million humans that eliminated most unemployed.
But now in the robotic age all humans are potentially obsolete as workers and consumers, so according to the Darwinian laws of the Universe, from the perspective of the biological will of corporations, which are NOT human organisms, but organism of reproduction of machines, human extinction is the natural biological solution, unless our social institutions, politicians and governments forbid legally robotics and reign over the will of corporations.
Of course, from the ‘Intelligent Design’ perspective of the owners of corporations, their goal is not the machine but profits. However profits are obtained by reproducing more and hence selling more machines of higher price, which is a direct function of the quality, hence the evolution of the machine and lower cost, which is a direct function of the productivity of the industry, maximized firing labor:
Max. Profits = [Max. Reproduction (Max. Sales) x Max. Evolution (Max. quality=Price) – Min. Cost (Max. Re-Productivity = Max. Capital x Min Labor=Max. Human Extinction)].
Hence the equation of profits is a biological equation that maximizes the reproduction and evolution of machines and the extinction of human labor, akin to any biological equation that describes the so called biological radiation of a top predator species in this case the machine, and the extinction of its rival species, in this case the human being. It can be described with the abstract, subjective, non-scientific jargon of neo-classic economics:
Max. Profits = Max. Sales x Max. Price – Min. Cost.
Or it can be explained with the objective, biological, scientific jargon of evolutionary economics:
Max. Reproduction x Max. Evolution=Top Predator Radiation = Max. Human Extinction.
For that reason in the graph, the curves of stock-markets that measure the profits=sales of companies have for each industry and Kondratieff cycle of evolution and reproduction of machines the same form than the Volterra curves of biological radiations of top predator species, with the classic ‘chair’ shape, shown in graph: The discovery phase of the Kondratieff cycle of more evolved energies/machines akin to the birth of a new top predator species fast increases in a steep curve their populations; as it extinguishes rival, less evolved previous machines and workers. Then the curve enters a plain phase as the radiation of the new top predator/machine expands globally adapting the eco(nomic)system to its image and likeness.
Finally as the species saturates the eco(nomic)system it suffers a series of Volterra, up and down, predator-prey curves of over-re=production, provoking finally the extinction of all most of the preys, crashing its populations (end of labor in that sector and mutation of the machine into a top predator weapon of maximal quality= price=profits that extinguishes labor in war fields.)
Those 4 legs that sustain the building of science differentiate a scientific model from an ideology of power (or a faulty model of science), which:
– A) Censors data that does not cater the selfish agenda of a limited social group, people-caste, nation or corporation, or lacks the proper instruments to gather information; hence subverting the first element of science – accurate data.
– B) Prefers anthropomorphic, subjective or religious theories that cater to those groups of power or simply make people feel happy, as the center of their perceived world, but are always less accurate models of truth in an impersonal Universe in which man is just another non-chosen mortal species.
We call this trade-off between happiness and truth the ‘ego paradox’. Since we always measure reality from a human self-centered point of view that distorts reality. So at first sight we are the still center of our measure and we seem bigger than the galaxy Andromeda. But we are not. Since:
‘Our mind is an infinitesimal point mapping in stillness an infinite Universe: 0 x ∞=K’.
And so the ego paradox confuses the zero-point of our mind-self with the infinity of its universal mapping.
The paradox of the Ego is the fundamental cause of the non-existence of social sciences as a sound scientific model.
Indeed, Humans, every one of us cannot it seems to be objective about our role in the Universe. No matter how ‘obvious’ might be that we are just another biological being in a biological planet in evolution, in all sciences that relate to ‘us’, we always choose to feel ‘sons of god’ specially ‘entitled’. And so unlike biological or physical sciences in which we can perfectly assume the non-importance of animals, viruses or rocks, the human cannot be dealt with objective science in history. 5 billion people still believe – and will feel offended if contradicted – that a goatkeeper of the bronze age, saw a bush burning and the bush was God, the creator of the Universe, choosing them as special beings. Never mind the advances of astrophysics. This emotional attachment to theories that put us at the center of the Universe, which goes to the extremes of fundamentalist religions that kill you if you deny it (just read about a poor kid killed in Syria for saying that he did not think Mr. Mohammed was the envoy of God), seems to make impossible true social sciences, as the models of this blog.
Since we shall prove you what we call ‘classic economics’ derives from the Biblical beliefs that we are entitled to all and money is the ‘fetishe’ language, the invisible hand of go(l)d’ (Adam Smith).
This has always been an astounding paradox for me, which share the concept of Schopenhauer ‘man is a mush lost in a rock in the corner of the Universe, departing from those facts we can talk about him’. It simply defeats the purpose of social sciences as it reduces them at best to a mere collection of data without true hypothesis that allow a sound objective interpretation. In the very minute the social scholar starts to interpret as it must do corporations and machines with biological concepts of darwinian behavior, it contradicts the ego paradox of their owners and he is repressed with the ‘anti-quantum paradox’ (opposed to the quantum paradox in which the observer is so huge that modifies the observable, in this case the power of corporations is so huge that they modify the observer, the social scientist that no longer gets subventions, prizes and positions if it does not cater to the concept that machines, corporations and financiers are ‘experts’ that care for mankind and their selfish actions, magically, in words of Mr. Smith, make the world better for all of us.
The ego paradox is so important and it is imprinted at so many levels in humans today, that we must do now a slight detour and explain the meaning of objective science before we can even continue with our analysis of economics as a science.
SCIENCE EXPANDS OUR POINT OF VIEW ON THE UNIVERSE. PARADIGM’S SHIFTS
From subjective myths and anthropomorphic ego trips into an objective view of the Pantheist Universe.
Knowledge means an expansion of the human point of view from subjectivism to objectivism, from considering man the center of the Universe to realize we are part of a pantheist Universe in which all points of view have their own perspective. In the graph, the pre-scientific age of Abrahamic religions…
The evolution of knowledge consists in increasing the objective point of view of mankind, by going out of the infinitesimal, totally subjective, self-point of view into the infinite multiple points of views of the Universe:
- Hence from the ‘ego’ as center of the universe, proper of the earlier mythic age of primitive Indo-European tribes who thought each ego-individual to be a God (so Gerrmans called themselves the tribe of goths=gods) and today many self-ish still people believe to be the center of the world and nothing matters except them.
Then we moved into:
- The semitic age of abrahamic religions, in which the point of view grew to enclose the tribe as center of the Universe. So the subconscious collective of the tribe became God and the explanation of it all. And all other tribes were deemed inferior, not chosen of God. So the Assyrians called their God and capital Assur, their kings son of Assur and the Jewish called their God Yaveh, which was first a toponym for their land Judea (as written in Egyptian maps) and considered themselves the only chosen of God and called themselves Jewish, a word derived also of Judea. And today many people still believe those tribal ideologies and nothing matters except their tribe. But then we moved into:
– The first age of Mesopotamic, Egyptian and Greek science and global religions (Islam and Christianity) in which the earth, that is all human beings, became the center of the Universe. And so it was understood that the planet Earth was the body of God, and mankind, its collective subconscious the only intelligent being of the Universe.
This age had two versions, as always a new paradigm of wider knowledge on the nature of the Universe is ‘polluted’ by the previous paradigm:
The Jewish-Christian anthropomorphic version and the Greek, objective, logic version.
In the Jewish->Christian->Islamic version superstitions still mix with the understanding of astronomy while the Greek version was void of superstition.
Because superstitions and myths require ‘inquisitions of thought’ that prevent further evolution; the Jewish-Christian version no longer evolved. On the contrary has its periodic revivals, when as it is today new forms of censorship are established to prevent any criticism of ‘their beliefs’. So today we have political correctness, Jihad Islam, the industry of the holocaust, religious revivalism and all kind of rhetorics in favor of ‘beliefs’, including massive amounts of audiovisual emotional myths and money ab=used to expand abrahamic religions that must be respected… to ensure a growing degradation of our knowledge of the Universe.
The next stage. Science with cosmic bodies at its center.
In the next stage Copernicus simplified the Ptolemaic system that had gone too far in his attempt to explain more facts beyond the simple sun-earth-moon relationships for which it was created.
For that reason it would be the Greek version the only one that would evole further from the first greek science with the Earth as center into the 2nd greek and 1st western tradition with the sun as its center.
So from Aristarcus, which Copernicus read and annotated in his manuscript to Galileo, we evolved further our point of view, coming out of Planet Earth and making the sun the relative center of the Universe.
But men were still the only intelligent, worthy being of that Universe so Kepler wrote ‘God has waited 5500 (Biblical years) to find an intelligence like his’. Here the reader should observe how religious anthropomorphic beliefs still creeped into this paradigm. And still are part of modern science. So Newton thought God sent him comets as messages. Einstein said that if his theory was wrong ‘God had to correct the Universe, as it was so beautiful’ (here you can see Einstein’s ego-trips as individual and perhaps as a tribal son of God).
This is important to remember because the 5th Dimension’s paradigm has none of it.
And it is important for two reasons:
– On one side those first scientists established a theory of philosophy of science called ‘mechanism’ according to which the new machines they used to measure time -human clocks – and space – human telescopes became the model of the Universe. This was another form of anthropomorphism. Now human-made machines were God, the seer of time and space (definition of God by Saint augustine). So Kepler said that ‘God was a clocker’ and Einstein said that ‘time is what a clock measures’.
But mechanism requires an external God to make the mechanism – machines are not self-generated. This Leibniz, noticed and laughed at Newton. Since when some errors of orbital motion were discovered -as the case of Mercury, Newton said it was Ok and God will repair them. And Leibniz said if God existed the Universe would be made perfect not with errors to correct latter.
But the ego paradox had already become the trade-mark of the western scientific approach: we started to make machines far more perceptive than us and model reality as a machine and yet we were unable to think, MACHINES not humans were providing that view. And it will be the case till today – the ego paradox prevent us from seeing machines as a different entity. We worship them but we deny we worship them. Because this subjective approach enlarge our egoes.
So the reader should understand that previous ego-centric, tribal, mechanist paradigms of man as a superior species are still common in science. The last case is the ideology of anthropomorphism called ‘anthropic principle’, which the Israeli scholar Mr. Bekenstein has imposed in pseudo-scientific media according to which the Universe has the parameters it has so that man could be created.
– Which leads to the second problem of anthropomorphic beliefs: they do not work in praxis, as they confront the multiple points of view of the Universe each of them king of the hill, provoking constant conflict.
So the reader should not be surprised that the Germans, the most ego-centric people of the ancient world have entered unending wars with neighbors, massacring them and dying till becoming a tiny nation with a dying language.
– Now parallel to the Copernican revolution, there was the Buddhist and Darwinian revolution which made us just part of a web of life and so we were all similar, from the monkey to the worm to the rat to the human and all forms of life were worthy. But of course the previous paradigms kept fighting the new paradigm and so in the American Biblical Belt Darwin is taboo and the very religious merchant of death, Mr. Nobel forbids to give Nobel prizes to evolutionists, as it considers it a non proved theory.
So let us resume this first age of knowledge:
We moved from ego to tribe to mankind and the Earth, to the Sun and life as centers of the Universe with periodic regression and the error of mechanism that worships the machines that measure time and space.
All those phases provoke conflict with other relative points of view, from individuals who are selfish – German paradigm – and kill each other as autist beings (America, where German influence is enormous), or tribes who kill each other in permanent conflict or mankind at large in permanent conflict with Gaia, the world of life.
So knowledge is important not only per se but because a proper objective knowledge helps our survival as individuals, tribes and species. But all those who hold a subjective, lesser form of knowledge go down from reason to believe and use all kind of emotional myths and painful repressive inquisitions to maintain their truths as sacred. So they never evolve caught in their own web of self-serving lies, because as Nietzsche put it ‘the most difficult lies to deny are those we make about ourselves’.
Thus in any CHANGE OF PARADIGM:
– The point of view moves away from humans to enclose a wider part of the Universe. Thus, humans become ever more smaller as objective scientific knowledge advances… but
– Paradoxically the less important we feel and the more objective we are about our relative position in time and space, the better chances we have to survive, as we collaborate among humans with the power of social evolution, we respect the action-reaction processes of the Universe and all their points of view, not ab=using nature and other human beings, and so the paradox is that the less ego we have the better off we are.
This is the essential fact of classic economics: it is destroying the world and the future of life and our sons in this planet; it will not make us survive. Only a biological understanding of machines and weapons, of their company-mothers; and a proper management of its ‘bad fruits that will kill us’ if we keep evolving, from a humble perspective of man, as nothing but a biological being, could make us survive.
C) As a result, due to faulty data and subjective models, scientific ideologies fail to predict the future evolution of the species and events it studies. Since the future is NEVER caused by a single, ‘ceteris paribus’, causal point of view, but by the complex interaction of all the different points of view that intervene in those events, which require an external, multiple analysis.
D) In the case of human sciences, a sound model of truth that considers the whole perspective of the human species and the planet Earth at large is essential to analyze the future and direct it from the perspective of a positive praxis for mankind.
Thus the key elements to proof a scientific model truth or discharge it as faulty and harmful are:
A) Its accurate data. B) its objective, non-human point of view. C) its capacity to predict the future evolution of the species and events it studies D) its subjective, positive, human praxis. As opposed to ideologies that have:
A) Inaccurate data. B) Subjective, reduced, ceteris paribus point of view. C) Incapacity to predict the future D) Objective, non-human praxis.
3 Samples of the evolution of knowledge from Subjective Ideology into objective science.
Thus using those 4 elements we can consider 3 cases on the evolution of knowledge from myth and ideology into science from physical sciences (astronomy), biological and sociological ones:
The oldest form of knowledge, astrology became the science of astronomy only when:
a) Telescopes gave us accurate data.
b) Astronomers discharged the anthropomorphic theory that stars influenced psychically human behavior and created a sound theory based in attractive forces and orbital motions.
C) As a result, Kepler and Newton could calculate mathematically the correct orbits of planets and predict their future position establishing laws that summarized that behavior (left side of graph).
The main disciplines of life, Biology and Medicine became sciences only when:
A) Microscopes gave us accurate data.
B) Biologists and doctors discharged anthropomorphic theories that considered humans the creation of a subjective personal God and their sickness caused by its anti-thesis evil spirits; developing instead an objective model that related causally species according to similar forms (Evolution Theory), studied the causal competition and extinction of those species according to their body-mind, energetic-informative power (selection of species – right side of graph) and then Pasteur developed with such knowledge a theory of Germs, based in the competition at cellular level between top predator bacteria & viruses and human cells.
C) As a consequence evolution predicts the most efficient, future survival forms of many species and Medicine the evolution and causes of sickness, which ‘quacks’ with religious theories had never been able to predict.
Social sciences: Corporate, classic economics vs. Biological Models of Corporations & machines.
The 4 elements of the scientific method can be applied to compare the biological model of Economics described in this pages and the dominant, neo-classic, financial models that human societies apply to manage the world, easily finding out that unlike the biological model, who follows those 4 legs, present neo-classic financial economics is an Ideology that:
A) Ignores data. So the founder of neo-classic economics Mr. Friedman in his argument with Samuelson, a Keynesian scientist affirms that ‘data’ is irrelevant, only ‘logic’ assumptions and sound argumentation matters to get a ‘scientific conclusion’. This blatant denial of the scientific method should have gotten him fired from Chicago University and yet it made him the founder of modern economical thought and the inspiration of most neo-liberal policies applied by our governments. But why is this? The answer is obvious: when you are NOT doing science but ideology, data is a ‘problem’. SInce you must depart from ‘assumptions’ which are beliefs. So data is often biased by ‘damned lies and statistics’ or ‘political and economical correctness’ to obtain ‘a priori’ beliefs. And this of course comes all the way back to Mr. Smith with his ‘assumption’ that ‘selfishness’ guided by the invisible hand of ‘go(l)d’ makes the world better. Of course Mr. Keynes described this assumption as the core-belief of ‘capitalism': ‘capitalism is the astounding belief that the wickedest of all people can do the wickedest of all things for the common good’. And Samuelson his heir rightly scorned Friedman as an ideologist.
Censorship of data of course is very intelligent. It consists in silencing true scientists of economists and give prizes and honors and positions of power to those who cater for the elites that monopolize the creation of money and share their ‘beliefs’. For example the most prestigious prizes of this discipline, the Nobel Prize, is conceded by a private bank the Rijsbank, not the Nobel Board and opposed by their heirs who consider an usurpation of the name. But even if it were given by the Nobel Board it cannot be given by ‘decree’ to any evolutionist (since Mr. Nobel was a pious believer and founder of the first multinational and biggest arm dealer of the XIX century)
B) From those facts is easy to understand that neo-liberal policies today, as classic economics in the past, has the reduced p.o.v.s of corporations and its owners – barely the 1% of human population, the ‘chosen’ of go(l)d and only people whose ‘wealth’ matters. This view which is just a ‘reduced’ case of the ego paradox however defines the ‘attitude’ of most classic economists, which will not consider any of the objective schools that have analyzed the negative effects of corporations and their offspring of machines in human beings. It justifies class structure, nationalism (the absurd idea a certain Homo Tribus must substitute the Homo Sapiens and fight with weapons against other humans and ultimately explains why the all too obvious collateral effects of selfish memes of metal in man are ignored. As machines substitute, atrophy and degrade us, we are paradoxically more and more ego-centered, more and more sure that we are progressing and we are superior to nature, without even realizing now the computer calculates for us, the weapon kills for us and the car run for us.
The ego paradox is the essence of Biblical cultures that invented corporations and capitalism and its hierarchical structure.
C) Shows an all too evident failure to predict economic indicators. So The Economist, organ of neo-classic economics tested future indicators among Economic Ministers, Scholars, garbage collectors and Taxi Drivers, and Ministers and Scholars came last in predictive power.
On the other hand the socialist school forecasted the ‘overproduction crisis’ of capitalism, which are the ultimate cause of this cycle. It forecasted the extinction of human labor as machines will evolve filling all human jobs. In this work we shall explain those facts with new mathematical equations derived of our work in systems sciences. It also forecasted the switch to weapons production as the ‘canonical’ way of coming out of economic crisis as corporations do both, consumption machines and top predator machines aka weapons that consume us. What it failed at the age is to understand that the future, when all workers would be obsolete to machines (robots in this cycle), workers will NOT create a paradise but according to Darwinian laws will be extinct by robotic weapons. This all too evident end of history if we do NOT forbid the evolution of robotics is thus denied today by the collective human ‘ego-trip’ of an ‘entitled’ species that keeps denying the laws of evolution and taking ‘human policies’ to avoid the lethal effects of certain machines that:
– Atrophy the human organs they substitute. So in the age of bodies of machines we became weaker using transports.
– And today in the age of mental machines we become stupidier watching Tvs.
There are today all kind of studies that show people to be weaker and test less than when we did not have cars and TVs. But corporations keep denying it and paying scientists to deny the fact that machines do compete with humans in labor and war fields throwing us of jobs, killing us and the ‘good ones’ that are symbiotic to our bodies and brains and seem to enhance our capacity to process energy and information in fact, ATROPHY our bodies and brains. So in the left side we study that increasing degradation of humans as machines evolve and humans devolve through the W-X-Y-Z generations.
D) Sponsors, objective, non-human policies that do not favor mankind but side always with the machines for whom those corporations cater, in search of profits, designing a world to its image and likeness, regardless of any negative, collateral effect they have on our species and Nature. This is essential in the present crisis in which robots compete and eliminate humans from labor and war fields. Hence they should be treated as biological systems and forbidden.
On the other hand this biological, systemic model that evolves previous sound models with predictive capacity and human praxis (Socialist School, XIX c. Keynesian School, XX C.):
A) Uses proper data with no censorship on the cycles of overproduction and its collateral effects of economical war, unemployment and loss of human wealth.
The Keynesian school is the origin of modern Macro-economics and all the data elements about consumption, GDP, interest rate policies that all neo-classic economists use even if they systematically deny Keynesian policies. Leontieff, a russian scholar is the origin of all the input output graphs used by modern corporations and Tinbergen the Dutch keynesian who studied first physics with Einstein the creator of the macro-econometric equations used today to study a national economy.
B) Has an objective point of view that includes the duality of machines that enhance our energy and information by imitating our similar organs, but also atrophy and substitute them; and the Darwinian, biological behavior of its ‘company-mothers’ that design the world to its image. The aim of the 3 schools, socialist, keynesian and biological school that this blog represents has always been to control the economy and design it to favor most of mankind.
C) It predicts the future events of the economic cycle. The socialist school is the origin of Mr. Kondratieff who first found those cycles following the work of Marx on overproduction crisis. And today the neo-classic speculators of wall street use this cycle religiously to speculate but stripped off any explanation that puts them at true value.What all those cycles prove according to the scientific method of:
A) gathering of data, B) finding of patterns C) prediction of cyclesand D) sound praxis in favor of mankind that solves the crisis…
is the ‘scientific nature’ of economics, when we do not censor Data and accept the ideologies of corporations, ‘classic economics’ as the only ‘sound’ form of economical science.
Those crises were first explained by the socialist school during the train age and then by the Keynesian school after W.W. II.
They were tabulated by Kondratieff (in the background image), who studied the Train cycle in Russia. But, they have been censored ever since, given the fact that they increase enormously the profits of corporations (today again at all time high). So its collateral effects on mankind – the destruction of the welfare state (underproduced as all resources are spent in the industrial and financial sector) and the social peace of nations (as poverty spreads and overproduction of weapons controls people) – are the biggest taboo of economic scholarship, all over the world.
So when the second overproduction crisis of ‘german engines’, cars and tanks and automated assembly lines happened in the 30s its causes were heavily censored. Marx had become by then a taboo scholar BOTH, in capitalist and communist societies, (despite lip service paid to Marxist theories by communist dictators and the use of Kondratieff cycles in speculative predictions in The City and Wall Street), for two obvious reasons:
– In the west, because corporations profit enormously overproducing fiat money; new, more evolved working machines and new weapons that rise the productivity of factories, displace human labor, are wasted and bought once and again in wars and in all those cases increase profits of corporations. So we have built a ‘religion of profits’ that prevents any analysis of the crisis.
– In the East because Marx and Lenin described the end of those overproduction crisis, when markets for peaceful consumption are saturated and industrial system switch to production of weapons. Yet as Orwell described in ‘animal farm’, this is exactly what happened also in all communist countries after Stalin took over and murdered millions of true r=evolutionaries.
Then all communist nations became a caricature of what Marx explained about Western ‘capitalist democracies’ that would become automated systems of evolution and overproduction of tool machines that WILL end up replacing all human labor, and weapons that will consume human beings and cause endemic cycles of war. Today of course, the last ‘big communist country’, China is just a mixture of a military dictatorship and a capitalist, overproducing factory of chips. While the west is deeply involved in ‘Keynesian militarism’, the ‘newspeak’ for the Capitalist solutions to the crisis: ‘canons instead of butter’.
And indeed now blue collar and white collar workers are ending human labor; communist countries became all military dictatorships overeproducing weapons (hence just another version of the fascist states that overeproduced weapons to come out of the 29 crisis). While war-monger politicians from Hitler to Bush profit enormously of their increase of power and ‘deals’ with the military industry, when ‘canons instead of butter’ become the preferred solution to the crisis.
And so Marx, the socialist school who forecasted and gave solutions to the first crisis, and Keynes and his consumption, welfare school who forecasted and gave solutions to the second crisis are taboo for political and economical power. And of course this writer who improved upon their work and published about the future crisis and its solutions, 20 years ago, is an absolute unknown, heavily censored since his first books came out at the end of its Columbia Master.
So a huge part of this web (section on zeitgeist and newspeaks) is dedicated to explain how the ‘religion of profits’ and ‘classic economics’, a sort of ‘Intelligent Design’ that dominates this science, prevents humans to rationally understand in biological, evolutionary terms, the Industrial Revolution, its company-mothers and offspring of machines and the cycles and relationships of symbiosis and competition between both species (‘Intelligent Design’ is so pervading in economics that the Nobel Prize cannot be given by decree to evolutionary economics).
This massive censorship started in earnest in the post II world war age, when new forms of censorship against the economic causes of the war were implanted in the subconscious collective with the help of audiovisual media and subtle methods (political, and economical correctness, industry of the holocaust, etc) which ultimately used the memetic processes of manufacturing rains discovered by Goebbels – if you repeat a lie many times people will believe it.
Thus overproduction crises became a taboo whenever anyone tried to explain the economical causes of the war due to the overproduction of ‘German-American electro-mechanical Engines’. But paradoxically the Kondratieff cycle, sanitized of any rational explanations would be used routinely to predict stock trends ever since, albeit with a shorter periodicity of 54 years corrected by this author in the 90s to its exact ’generational, national cycle’ of 72 years.
Thus 20 years ago I forecasted the next ‘node’ of overproduction crisis to take place in 2001 and 2008, 72 years after the 29-37 nodes as it has been the case (1).
Of course, the reader will by now probably abandoned this web, perfectly imprinted by all the new forms of censorship, that trigger emotional reactions against this blog, kept under a minimal, almost zero exposure for decades (before as http://www.futuremagazine.net): he will think this web is a ‘confabulation theory’ against which he has been forewarned. He will jump as if the devil is mentioned after hearing the taboo words distorted and imprinted in his mind as errors or pure evil – from Marx to socialism, from Keynes to welfare state, from deficit to nationalization; he will have that ‘deja vu’ experience origin of Goebbels method that ‘he knew all this’. He will of course, if he is an economist, bring about all his ‘savant idiocy’ of complicated arguments, edited for 2 centuries to back the system. As he has imprinted his mind with Mr. Smith, Mr. Ricardo and Mr. Friedman who explain him that overproducing machines, e-money and weapons is always positive for mankind, it is progress, it is the future, it is the guidance of the ‘invisible hand of go(l)d’.
In that regard, instead the canonical solution are still: nationalization of financial industries to implement massive welfare, Keynesian credit to the sectors of life-based human goods men need to survive and are underproduced in this crisis; and halting, even forbidding the evolution of robotics, cause of the labor and war crisis.
But nobody in mainstream media, and power-tanks, financial institutions and governance talk straight on this overproduction crisis, showing how the power of corporations to set the agenda of the world in their favor has increased from the XIX century, when EVERYBODY talked of overproduction crisis (socialist movement) or even the 30s when some (Keynes) talked of it and proposed the humane solutions. Today NOT a single ‘authorized’ economist dare to defy the dictatorship of corporations and the manufacturing of our minds. So the crisis advances towards the next canonical phases – crash of currencies, global robotic wars for profits, hate-media, blaming on the poor, destruction of welfare.
Indeed, the readers should understand that the praxis of power in social sciences, carried by politicians and corporations and fed by ‘authorized economists and historians’ is NOT the science of history and economics that has been always censored due to the ‘anti-quantum paradox’. The historian and sound economists are so small compared to those groups of power (the military, politicians, bankers) that he is influenced by the observer (the corporation and political system) to adapt his work and please him: ‘You will defend me with the sword and i will defend you with the word’ Tertulianus.
Otherwise the real scientist of history can expect in the past, slavery (Plato), ostracism (Aristotle), crucifixion (Jesus), death in poverty (Marx), house arrest (Spengler), squad fire (Kondratieff), and in the present, when the system is sophisticated enough to eliminate by poverty, silence and ‘ad hominem’ campaigns, null media exposure.
Then once the system is satisfied that ‘his classic solution’, guns instead of butter has no argument or alternative, this will appear as the necessary, only solution within the ‘best possible system’, ‘democratic capitalism’ and so we will walk confident, and happy towards our self-extinction into a period of massive r=evolutions, social crisis, war, fascism and final holocaust of all those who during the ‘ominous decade’ covered up all the process, to keep profits coming sacrificing their lives and nations to the fetishe of go(l)d.
In that regard the monolithic censorship by industrial and financial corporations and the politicos that work for them of the real causes of the crisis ensures that we can prophesize it in his development, as business as usual will continue self-destroying the world. What all these people who run the system expect fort hat future? To end the world in an age of robotic wars as we ended in an age of car=tank and plane=bomber wars? The magic solution of the crisis by some divine ‘invisible hand of go(l)d’? The answer is that they do not expect anything.
They just live the day, go through each short-sighted phase of the crisis without being blamed from it. While economists expect to keep their profits rising while the population ignores what is happening to them. In that regard, a true scientist of economics and history must depart from a difficult truth: that we human beings have a single outstanding property, ‘our ego’, shown in our myths of superiority over the biological laws of this planet, in the astounding distance between what we think of ourselves and our freedoms and our intelligence to manage the world and what we really are as a species and individuals. Or in words of Mr. Marx ‘r=evolutionaries will change many things but they will not change the human condition’.
In that sense, this blog is a ‘mature work’, in the line of Mr. Orwell or Mr. Marx latter books, as I do not expect either the elites that run the system or the sheeple that loves those who murder them, any reaction of a species that lives a virtual fantasy of power, expertise and control in a world it neither understands nor wants to. Indeed, we social scientists that try to predict the future commit the ‘young error’ of believing our species is worth to save, it is rational and it will improve the world. Those who rule the system commit the same error – regarding only themselves – they think they can exploit the system, cheat the people, take the profits and nobody will notice.
The facts though of history show the incompetence, utter selfishness, minuscule vision and ‘damned lies’ and statistics of the elites destroy the system BUT keep evolving and improving the world of corporations and machines. While the mass FOLLOWS them, and cheers in orwellian fashion, ’4 legs good 2 legs better’.
While the only ‘rara avis’ are us, the social scientists. The rest is a deja vu symphony of continuous evolution of ‘memes of metal’ and happy self-destruction of humans, which only after all is passed, the overproduction of weapons brings the cycle of war and holocausts and destroys rhythmically each civilization, suddenly ‘realize’ all was a fantasy of ‘pumping iron’. Problem is when the robotic age of war ends, the Industrial Evolution will be compLeted, and a new autonomous species will roam the Earth – the terminator weapon; in an age in which Robotic corporations will have the power that in this cycle had electronic corporations and in the past car and train corporations… As today, June 2013, when the UNO has rejected under the influence of the Jewish-American military lobby, a moratorium on the creation of Terminator weapons, we can certify that future.
D) Sponsors a ‘WHealthy’ praxis of political economics that favors the future evolution and survival of the human kind, modeled with the tools of systems sciences and the examples of Nature – the master of us all – and its most efficient, Healthy and democratic social organisms.
Let us consider briefly those 4 elements in more depth:
A) Accurate data in the proper language of Social sciences
2 elements limit classic economics in its recollection of data, what their practitioners cynically called ‘damned lies (censorship or distortion of data) and statistics (use of only mathematical information).’
– An error common to many practitioners of science is the idea that the only language of science is mathematics. And by making a mathematical statement A-B-C are no longer required and the statement is truth per se. This is not the case.
We exist in a world of spatial energy (as vacuum space is a sum of energy quanta) and temporal information (as a clock-cycle creates a hertz, or minimal unit of information).
So mathematics, derived from geometry is the main language to study space and energy.
But causal logic is the main language that relates the 3 dimensions of time, past, present and future, better to study information.
And for that reason bio-logical sciences are based in a logic, causal theory, evolution, which studies the in-form-ation, the form of species, how those forms evolve, which forms are more efficient and the causal relationships of symbiosis and competition between species, such as the form with better energetic bodies and informative brains, or top predator species of max. exi force always wins and extinguishes the lesser form, surviving into the future.
And so both, spatial mathematics and temporal logic are languages accepted to create scientific models. And as it happens, most models of physical sciences concerned mainly with motions and locations in space are better described with mathematics. While most biological sciences concerned with information are based in the causal and morphological laws of evolution.
Further on, as Einstein put it to Poincare, ‘(we) know when a mathematical theory is truth but not when it is real’, and since Godel proved that a mathematical theory could not be proved truth by its own internal consistency, mathematically sound theories are not necessarily real or truth if they are not proved by the A-B-C legs of the scientific method.
And the same can be said of a logically consistent theory.
But if we were to establish a primacy between both languages, contrary to belief logic will be more important, since the mathematical formalism is deduced from logic (Hilbert, Frege, Computers) and space is considered today a ‘sheet of present time’ moving along the total world-line flow of causal time from past to future.
Thus now we can solve a key question for social sciences: shall we construct economic models based only in mathematics as financial economists, dominant in this discipline, today do, or models based mainly in biological sciences? The answer is obvious: Since we, human beings are biological organisms and industrial machines are made to our image and likeness in order to enhance our organs of energy and information, becoming symbiotic to us or competing with us in labor and war fields, Economics, which deals with 2 kind of products – machines and human, welfare goods of organic nature – must be considered a bio-logical science, based in evolutionary, systemic models of organic machines, their company-mothers, human beings and our societies. While mathematics, as it happens in biology, must be considered the accessory language that helps to gather data and find the patterns that structure the evolution, reproduction and interaction of the agents of the eco(nomic)system, and its language of information, money that ‘values’ both humans and digital machines with salaries and prices.
Thus history and economics must use both, biological and mathematical laws, but organic, biological causal laws, contrary to belief, must dominate the ‘whys’ of the field.
B) An objective, multiple point of view.
Science has been a rational attempt to get out of such self-centered, subjective, human point of view, as centers of the Universe, into an objective, non-personal wider perspective that take into account all other entities of reality.
So we moved from a mythic, religious age of individual or tribal Gods as universal centers into the whole Mankind (oikoumene religions) and its body, Gaia as the center.
Next we expanded our physical point of view, making the sun, the center; and then the whole space-time with no physical center at all became our frame of reference (relativity theory).
While in the realm of human sciences, we expanded our socio-biological center, from mankind to all life species (Evolution).
Finally in XXI century science we are going further, considering that not even our scale of size and speed of time clocks is unique (5 Dimensional metrics1) as we apply the definition of life – a system which processes energy, information, reproduces and evolves socially to machines (as we do in this socio-biological model of history and economics) – to all Complementary Systems, made of lineal bodies/fields of Energy and cyclical particles/heads of Information of the Universe2.
– A & B) From the perspective of subjectivism is easy to understand the 2nd error of classic, financial economics: censorship of relevant data and creation of subjective models. Since most economists work for corporations for whom they cater.
C) In the next paragraphs we study with a depth never seen in social sciences the multiple elements of the Kondratieff cycles of evolution of machines. It is not numerology, but sound scientific analysis of cyclical patterns of the economy with logic explanations since historic events fit with astounding precision a 72 years generational cycle of new energies, evolved in a short 7 years cycle of new products, till the evolution of those machines reach its most perfect form – the top predator weapon, which then extinguishes previous machines and humans in war periods.
Why this is so accurate can only have an explanation: we LIVE IN A DICTATORSHIP OF CORPORATIONS WHICH ARE AUTOMATED SYSTEMS OF REPRODUCTION AND EVOLUTION OF MACHINES THAT IMPOSE THEM and impose war when they need to sell weapons. If our governments were democracies and we were free, those cycles of overproduction and war WILL NOT HAPPEN as humans would stop them and there would not be such perfect cyclicality.
D) Finally we offer a praxis and solution to the crisis positive to all mankind (paper’s last paragraph). Why Classic Economics does not? The answer is ideological.Classic, Financial Economics, which rules the field, was invented before Biology and Evolution expanded the human point of view, even before modern machines appeared, certainly before Democracies were established, by a ‘believer’, Mr. Adam Smith, who thought as Calvin did that ‘the intelligence of god is money’.
So he affirmed that profits are ‘the invisible hand of god’. He and most of the founders of classic economics, Mr. Malthus, an Anglican Priest, Mr. Ricardo, a Jewish stock-broker, Mr. Say, a Calvinist, and today’s neo-classic economics, Mr. Friedman, Mr. Hayek & Mr. Buchanan were Biblical Jewish and calvinist fundamentalists, as most elites that founded and control western corporations.
So their mathematical equations often hide with ‘damned lies and statistics’, which are not truth per se, an economic version of the Biblical Ideology that tries to substitute evolution in Biology, called Intelligent Design, rightly shunned in Universities, as it makes man the subjective the center of the Universe, ‘entitled’ to all disregarding Nature’s biological, Darwinian laws of competition between individuals of different species, which as we shall see in this texts, are the essential fact of the relationship between men and machines that substitute labor, atrophy our body and mind organs and in its most perfect species, ‘top predator’ weapons kill us. While the destructive actions of their company-mothers over Nature and human social institutions merely express their ‘biological will’, which is to re=produce and evolve their offspring of machines, taking care of them and designing a world made to its image.
Latter on, when we study the ‘industry of misinformation’, aka Mass-media and the dictatorship of corporations, we shall consider a brief account of the most influential economists of both schools from Smith (founder of Creationism in Economics) to Sen (the last remarkable Humanist Economist who invented the Index of Human Development used by UNO to measure the real ‘WHealth’, or human, healthy wealth of an economy that improves the evolution, survival and happiness of human beings, and mathematize those concepts).as Keynes latter stresssed, only the control of credit by human governments and its design of a world that promoted uman, welfare goods could avoid our demise. And he was right. But from the perspective of Intelligent Design ‘disguised’ with ‘damned lies and statistics’ that dominates, after the censorship of scientific economics (socialist, Keynesian and Biological school) Economics in most Universities and ministries of the Western world Corporations are just systems of creation of profits, the invisible hand of go(l)d, and the supreme goal of mankind. So they design an economic system to increase profits of corporations and their owners, which on those religions views reach Salvation when they become rich – the only thing that matters – as Weber stressed in his masterwork, ‘The Protestant ethics and the birth of capitalism’.
Thus (Neo)classic economics is an Ideology of Intelligent Design that lacks A) accurate, data, B) objective models, C) predictability and D) positive praxis for mankind – as in fact blindly favors overproduction crises of metal-memes, the main cause of destruction of life. Thus those 2 views are in fact both biological.
The only thing that changes is its ‘ascientific jargon’ of classic economics and its point of view, which being that of machines means destructive effects for the rival species mankind vs. a humanist point of view that stresses our welfare. Since from a classic perspective corporations increase profits but this means in biological terms, to increase sales, hence the reproduction of machines. What changes is the policies derived from that fact’ which brings our D-point of the scientific method: A Humanist economist will realize this is not good for mankind, who should overproduce welfare goods that make us survive and forbid lethal goods. An ‘Intelligent Design’ economist will think overproduction of weapons of maximal profits is always good because it makes the believers, onwers of corporations richer. Hence the name ‘the Wealth of Nations’ of Mr. Smith’s first book, in which it stressed that to increase monetary wealth is the purpose of nations, without explaining that monetary wealth is max.in war when overproduction of money to overproduce weapons reaches its peak. And so do profits and stock- value:
10. SOLUTION: PROHIBITION OF ROBOTICS AND INTERNATIONAL CURRENCY WITH RIGHTS TO DEFICIT: HUMAN KEYNESIANISM
The conclusion is obvious: Since the evolutionary ‘free market’ of machines, ruled by corporations is NOT a democracy, but it is a jungle of metal, where corporations rule and fight each other for higher profits, reproducing without limit its machines, and their owners, imprinted by all type of diverse memes of despise, superiority and indifference to the life of mankind, we humans of the sheeple, with no weapons or stocks, beyond the placebo mask of politicos and advertising that tell us ‘don’t worry be happy, human, anthropomorphic, fictions’ of caring, are expendable, consumed by weapons in wars, substituted by machines in work places, exploited by taxation and higher speculative prices by financial markets and quisling politicos, imprinted memetically by repetition of the same false damned lies and statistics by ‘experts’ bubbling on the TVs put on the altars of our home; and of course silenced and murdered whenever we defend the rights of the human kind.
Because from an objective point of view, in a capitalist ‘democracy’ we ALL humans have a ‘price’, as a cost, our wages.
And now as the robotic r=evolution creates a new species which will compete with unfair advantage with us we cannot longer expect to have an ‘economical’ future.
In that sense, the solution to the 4th crises are simple, if humans were able to control the production of memes of metal: merely to ban robotics and establish legal measures against ‘visual fiction’ as a form of lying that prevents a real freedom of speech, covered by the noise of advertising and fiction thought. Yet humans don’t control the system, but are their slaves in an Aristotelian sense – they believe that the future of mankind is defined by the future of machines, as if we were them. So nobody even thinks on the problem, let alone the solutions to the crisis of overproduction we live in.
Should a will to look at reality as it is and freedom of thought exist among our leaders, the crisis could be easily solved with a G20 ban on robotics and the creation of a global single currency, ¥€$ money, with fixed parity 1 dollar = 1 euro = 100 yens = 5 Yuans, which would represent 3/4 of the global GDP, hence the only reference currency that could not be sunk by speculators. Such currency would then have rights to a 20% of annual deficit, invested in promoting a sustainable economy, a welfare state and jobs for human beings, which the robotic radiation has eliminated and the corruption of the financial system will not pay for. Since it all started precisely with the crisis of overproduction of e-money – with the development of speculative platforms that parasite the physical economy – the creation of a fixed parity currency and the taxation of speculative trades is a must for the crisis to end.
Nothing else will do, not even the printing of money by central bankers, for those very same institutions that cause the crisis. Indeed, the money central bankers have printed, never reaches the physical, productive economy but it is kept in the ‘casino’ of speculators, who use it as virtual credit to further speculate and worsen the crisis.
Further on, the war crisis could be eliminated with a single stroke, by accepting that ‘terrorism’ is not war and must be fought with police, intelligence and diplomacy as UK and Spain did to end their terrorism movements. But that means of course, the end of the ‘dictatorship of bankers’ over the American government, with its financial muscle and related lobbies in defense of apartheid Israel - in other words a balanced, diplomatic position of the US, the end of the drone war and the backing of International Institutions such as the UNO and the EU, as a blueprint for a future integration of all nations into a wor(l)d union with a single currency and the goal of fostering the survival and welfare, the WHealth of all mankind.
A deeper solution to the crisis though requires a coup d’état of the G20 politicos of the world against the rule of corporations, banksters and memes of metal that control mankind, by nationalizing the financial industry and guide credit to create a sustainable world based in human goods of maximal utility to mankind and maximal labor. Otherwise the equation of productivity, newspeak for the equation of ‘organic composition of capital’ that guides profits will eliminate human labor: profits = Maximal capital/ Minimal Labor.
We could write that equation as:
Man (salary) = Price (slave, object) > Diminishing Cost (evolving working machine).
Both equations convert man in a part-time slave always obsolete to a future evolving machine determines mathematically and logically that we humans shall be soon obsolete. This equation must therefore be substituted by an equation of ethonomics, the sub-discipline of the science of bio-history that could create a welfare paradise by controlling credit and cre(dit)ating welfare goods of maximal labor and utility to man, what we call Whealthy goods:
Whealth = Human Goods that cater to the biological drives of man = Human Development Index = Cre(dit)ate to welfare companies.
In brief, we should change as UNO wanted the way we measure the economical value by an index of welfare goods. We should control credit by nationalizing the financial industry, to direct it to companies that maximize with their products the HDI of a nation, and we should forbid legally, all those lethal goods that are bound to extinguish us, physically (weapons), mentally (audiovisual noise) and as a species (robotics). The opposite is happening. We are indeed, creating a different world, one of memes of metal, a super-organism alien to life, studied in depth in this web with the laws of general systems sciences.
And this of course happens because we do not live in a democracy and hence we do not have a demand economy based in the goods people need, life goods, but in the goods corporations of machines reproduce, memes of metal. So credit is invented by corporations not by humans, redistributed to them and the 1% and spent in creating a world to the image and likeness of those machines not of men.
What would be a ‘demand economy’? To start with, only corporations will be taxed, according to the utility of their products – and the most lethal banned. Humans will NOT be taxed. Then all humans that accept Ye$ money as the currency of the nation would receive a 1000 euros = 1000 $ = 5000 Yuans = 100.000 Yens and so on salary to create a massive demand for human goods, as according to Pareto, Keynes, and all those ‘masters of humanist economists and all is ‘forgotten’ schools’, the poor spend most of their wealth in human goods, the happiness of a society (Paretto’s curve) increases when the Maslow pyramid of basic goods is met for most of the population…
This simple measure would immediately resolve most of the existential problems of mankind, hunger, poverty, housing, health-care… as there would be a massive boost on production of those goods to meet demand.
And finally, politicians should create according to the scalar structure of superorganisms a World Union, to end borders, nationalism and warfare, over the ‘surface’ of national cultures no longer cult(ure)s of war and economical competition but based in memes of life, taking many of the structures learned from the UNO and the EU, prior to the take over of the ‘cult(ure)s’ of greed and murder, you know who, on those institutions, which as always have done in their recurrent cycles of wars and holocausts, are bound to self-destroy the world ‘again’ but only once, final time.
Capitalism though denies social love and so does our civilization, as it is not on the interest of the historic groups that have come to control society only for their own good. Which is like an organism in which the head with power to control the body ignored the needs of the cells of the body (the rest of human society) and so allow its collapse, which ultimately also destroys the head. This is called madness and indeed, our elites are ‘MAD” in their strategy, ensuring our Mutual Assured Destruction as social organisms with those policies that invariably ’cause’ the most tragic of all cycles of death of History – the war and holocaust 800-80 year cycles, whose economic and political causes are denied in yet another clear case of the Antiquantum Paradox.
The humane solution to the crisis: a Global deal.
In Spanish we say ‘man is the only animal that stumbles twice with the same rock’. But this is the 3rd time. Indeed, astoundingly in the present repetitive 3rd cycle, the Humane, New Deal solution is NOT essayed by any western nation – only China implements it achieving growth close to a 10% based in massive investments in welfare goods.
Since a proper science of economics that caters to the needs of the humankind and requires unaviodably that the government of any kind controls the language of social power, money, has been repressed for so long in western, ‘capitalist’ societies where money is ‘monopolistically’ invented in 90% by private banks, that the ‘debate’ si considered over.
This implies that the solution of the west will be the fascist one. As the control of think-tanks and economic prizes, forums and universities by corporation is so dominant that the humane solution is not even debated in mainstream press. In that regard, the naive reader is not aware that unlike all other sciences, ‘history’ and ‘economics’, the most important of all sciences, as they deal with the future of our species, are neither ‘free’, nor practiced by ‘experts’, but their scientific laws have been ignored and censored for decades, whenever they collide with the selfish agendas of industrial corporations, becoming at present, mere ideologies of power that cater to the goal of corporations and the 1%.
At present, all what economists do is to cater to the goal of company-mothers of machines: the reproduction and evolution of its offspring of mechanisms without limit or restrain in the collateral, destructive effects they have over life and mankind. Since the origin of ‘classic economics’ is not scientific, but religious, based in Biblical traditions that make of Go(l)d and weapons the tools of power that ‘the chosen’ people who started the Industrial R=evolution used to impose its civilization. This mixture of politics, culture, religion, economic and nationalist memes is the ‘straight-jacket’ of irrational behavior that tampers with the scientific method in social sciences and prevents a proper design of a sustainable planet.
There is however a real science of economics and history, with predictable laws and cycles, which we rescue and further evolve in this web(1).
Indeed, the reader should notice that Mr. Kondratieff, who found those cycles, following the path of Mr. Marx, which first discovered and described those cyclical crises of overproduction of machines; was murdered by Stalin and his work is only known today by… Wall Street speculators, who use merely the mathematical rhythm of those cycles without caring to understand or explain their sociological and existential consequences. Yet because those cycles are experimentally sound, real and perfectly explained with the laws of biology and evolution, they kept happening, despite the massive opposition of corporations, bankers and governments of any sign to consider their implications.
Despite ‘powerful experts’ and corporation’s think tanks, the truth about economics and history is written in those cycles and the future of this crisis and mankind at large can only be understood through its scientific study. Let us then before we describe the causes of this crisis, its dual solution and its future, introduce some little known facts about the differences between sciences and power ideologies, needed to understand why humans are so grossly mismanaging their future, dumb, deaf and damned by their arrogance and ignorance of the biological laws of the Universe.
This is the beauty and damnation of the scientific method and the truths discovered with it – that no human power can change those laws, since ‘Those who impose scientific truths with the tools of power, will be the laugh of the Gods‘ (A. Einstein).
If Marx gave the humane solution to the first crisis of overproduction of steam machines and trains (socialist solution, Communist Manifesto), America and after the war Europa implemented the human solution to the crisis in the 1930s with the New Deal and the politics of Keynesianism. Both were successful theoretical solutions aborted by capitalism and its ‘pyramid of power’, studied latter in more detail.
Now, in this third cycle the only country in which the scientific, socialist school of economics still has some ‘memories’ left, China, and the only country where governments control the financial industry and hence have power to cre(dit)ate, create with the language of social power, money, the future of their society, is implemented the Humanist/Keynesian solution: to invest in the welfare state.
It has to be noticed that only China is growing steadly around 10 % year after year showing how a scientific, social economics do work. In the next graph from NYTimes we can see those differences:
The expansion of such global deal could be easy with the creation of Yes money, born of the fixed parity of Euros=Dollars 10 investment 0 Yens and Yuans. ¥e$ money would allow those countries which represent, 3/4 of the world economy to have massive deficits to create the welfare state similar to those shown in the graph for China. Unfortunately the New Deal did not invest enough on welfare to come out of the crisis as war did and that is why it failed. An enormous amount of deficit to come out of the 29 crisis was however achieved in II world war where the American government spent at its peak 120% of its Gdp in deficit to create weapons and employ humans killing humans. So indeed Keynesianism can get us out of the crisis, either killing us or feeding us – take your pick.
That is the difference between Keynesian militarism, what America is going to essay this crisis as Germany did in the previous one, and Keynesian true doctrines of investment in welfare, peaceful goods that Roosevelt essayed too mildly and China is essaying now.
It is then self-evident that a human solution to the crisis requires to control the reproduction and evolution of lethal machines and promote the reproduction of welfare life/based goods that help us to survive and require human jobs to be produced. This was the New Deal solution to the previous 29 crisis and the socialist solutions proposed in the European r=evolutions of the XIX century to the train crashes.
11. POLITICAL CRISIS. THE DICTATORSHIP OF CORPORATIONS.
All this said we can now revise the original pyramid of capitalist classes that illustrates the beginning of this post, considering what has changed in capitalism in the XXI century- namely that the middle class and the lower classes of mankind are today obsolete to machines white collar pcs and blue collar robots that eliminate them as factories become automated – the real cause of the labor crisis that is not going away. …
Of course, if capitalism were not a religion of greed with a clear despise of those humans not ‘chosen’ by go(l)d, there would be A GLOBAL NEW DEAL AND THE BILLIONS CENTRAL, ‘PRIVATE BANKERS’ ARE PRINTING FOR THEMSELVES WOULD BE USED CREATING JOBS IN THE WELFARE SECTOR THAT CANNOT BE ROBOTIZED, AS HUMANS STILL have to take care of humans in hospitals, schools and farm food but in a religion of greed of biblical/racist origin, capitalism has no piety or empathy with the 90% on the contrary the disgraces of mankind are seen as another proof of the superiority of the capitalist elite for whom we are all ‘expendable numbers’ of an equation of productivity, ‘Palestinians’ to be watched with drones, envious of their wealth the ‘genius’ of the Fulds et al have deservengly given to them … Their dogmas prevent it. Now with the arrival of robotics, humans become expendable as workers and soldiers. So we have to revise the pyramid of capitalism in the present century.
On top there are two types of people, the plainly stupid, who truly believe the ‘damned lies and statistics’ and the ideologies of capitalism. Those are the topic nerds of silicon valley who truly think robotics ‘creates jobs’, the politicians who preach thinking is the way to ‘create’ jobs the increase of ‘productivity’ but even ignore its equation: ‘productivity=capital in machines/labor’; that is when labor disappears productivity grows.
In the original pyramid capitalists knew they were brutalizing mankind, they were evil=anti-live, they were ‘neutron bombs’ and they enjoyed it – their biblical supremacist religions made them feel good exploiting catholic irish, massacring indians to speculate on land, exporting human slaves, aka capital, destroying the life of millions working 18 hours in their factories. But they were real.
But after the 2nd world war, the capitalist elite realized a better method – ‘orwellian newspeaks’ of caring, political correctness and economical correctness. If people were stupid enough, entertained b fictions and info-tainment, they would not protest, if antitruths were imprinted in their minds and they were told ‘freedom=capitalism’, progress=machine, if the Goebbels method of ‘repeating a lie many times till people believe it’ was practiced, they will creat a race of sheeple, who would love the wolves. And with the arrival of TVs, with his hypnotic power, the manufacturing of brains with big smiley worked. A race of fictional idiots was born, and now it is growing in leaps and jumps, singing 4 legs, 4 legs, 2 legs better, in Orwellian fashion. R=evolution thus is impossible, because the financial-media informative system has erased the brain of the mass of human beings. What is then left to do, with that mass of obsolete humans, fictional minds, unneeded workers, sheeple that you can slaughter with the easiness you mass-murder pigs in a farm?
So Capitalism must eliminate mankind to continue THE EVOLUTION OF COMPANY-MOTHERS AND THEIR OFFSPRING OF MACHINES. And no attempt to reason makes sense for the scientists, bankers and military who consider their mission to create better machines and weapons -symbol of progress and the future they deny to the rest of namkind. And this fact will be the engine of the damned lies and statistics of the XXI century.
The essays of the future are happening among the poorest, the non-technological civilizations (Islam). Afghanistan is the favorte field for guinea pigs and it is working. But of lately we have seen that also our cities – Boston – can be sieged and militarized. As the crisis of labor deepens, and more millions are out of work, sooner or latter people will turn violent and then a police state with robotic vigilante machines will be imposed first in America, where capitalism is more brutal, and as A.I. takes over, the New World Order will look increasingly like the next graph, printed 20 years ago… We should have revised it again, because the pigs of the middle class are no longer needed by corporations to work or consume machines – as robots consume other machines and work for us. It is time then to salghter house 5:
‘Intelligent top predators put up farms. And select the best races for faming purposes and slowly degrade them in mind, as they grow in body. Then when control is absolute, they brutalize the farmed species. In primitive societies the pig lives and sleeps even in the room of his masters. He s talked to. He is short of an ‘energy divinity’. In modern societies he is just a number. In Iowa, the enzyman accelerates its devolution. The pig has been degraded and lives packed without light till he is gassed with Zyclon-B. His life is Hell from beginning to end’. The animetal farm, (a modern version of Orwell’s Animal farm, written by the author 20 years ago).
The previous graph has 20 years. It was first part of an exhibit of ‘conceptual cubism’, in my earlier ages as a ‘silenced voice of the memes of life’, when I thought through art we could also explain the tragic future of mankind. It was done in NY in the earlier 90s, and published in the pioneer book of this model, which also forecasted the 2008 crisis with enormous detail (The extinction of man, Bookmasters, ohio, c.94) and somehow appeared years latter in an exhibit on conceptual art at Six Flags Brooklyn museum. And yet it reads quite as it was done today. There was not Star War system in 2000, but of course Missiles kept evolving and indeed they are becoming ‘terminator robots’. There is not yet a massive radiation of robotized, guneyes (guns+cameras), but we are very close to that radiation that will establish finally the automatic control of human life by a future ‘Matrix/Intranet/Metal-earth’ brain. The pigs of the center, and not they were not meant to be the PIGS of southern europe but the middle classes, on the other hand have been cut off their credit earlier that i expected (as I thought capitalism wouldn’t be so brutal and prefer a milder road to avoid social unrest; but essentially this future designed under the presumption that capitalism and its memes of greed and violence and the evolution of machines would continue unabated is the world we live now in. And the key to the graph is the obsolescence of the poor and middle classes substituted by computers and robots. So the question is what we are going to do with them? My take 20 years latter is that we will be on the ‘storm’ of this crisis with damned lies and statistics, its noises and 1% on top trying to appease the masses with ‘pan et circensis’ till one day, the process of evolution of machines reaches one of the 3 thresholds of extinction, the Singularity at cern (2014), the metal nano-bacteria (2030s) or the awakening of military A.I. (2050s). And then suddenly one day mankind will have a few hours to reflect and wake up to its extinction (cern singularity), or a few months (nano-bacteria) or a few years (war of the A.I. terminator machines). But then it will not have any longer the future on its hands. Who can avoid that future? Certainly we, the X generation, didn’t. The few of us who tried were silenced. I see no hope. At this point of my mental evolution, I think as Marx or Weber before me, this ‘iron jail’ is unbreakable, but in a world made of probabilities, there is always room for a miracle.
In the graph that opened the post, we observe the structure of capitalism in the beginning of the XX century, when humans were still needed to vitalize weapons, so they were consumed in I world war at the tune of 20 million young humans, consumed by gun-machines, to increase the profits of the Vicker’s, Krupp’ s, Nobel’s and Schneider’s factories.
In the graph above, we show the structure in the XXI century, when the bottom pyramid of capitalism, human soldiers, human workers and middle classes have become obsolete.
In the XIX century Capitalism still needed workers=reproducers of machines, which sustained all the ‘parasitic’ informative/neuronal classes of the economic ecosystem, whose function was merely to ‘invent’ complicated arguments, sophisms and ideologies that ‘cheated’ people, in believing the system makes them free. There were also middle classes (still eating, as managers of the companies) and on top the ‘stockrats’, owners of stocks, racketing the profits and enjoying the good life. Those were then, as always mostly belonging to the millenarian banking dynasties that invented money and invested it in corporations. Yet this type of capitalism imploded after two world wars.In the XX century, weapons industries could no longer ‘consume’ colored ‘inferior people’, as the world was ‘civilized/colonized’ already. So they had to use their own workers to consume weapons, after the 29 crash of excessive reproduction of credit money and electromechanical machines. And this brought a threshold of ‘evil=anti-life’ behavior, which Europeans could no longer tolerate – namely the extinction of their culture by the most aggressive capitalist nation of the age, at the head of the electromechanical wave – Germany. So a more just distribution, social-democracy, was installed in Europe, allowing the state to reproduce some money to provide the human goods that had no value in a capitalist system.
Today though this mixed system has been destroyed by a new crisis of overproduction of memes of metal, e-money, electronic pcs and robots that act as blue and white collar workers. So we enter in the final stages of capitalism, as human workers and consumers are substituted by white collar pcs and blue collar robots, except in the sweat shops of Chinese human robots and IT-Indian Pcs (the only economies that still growth). On the other hand, banks have invented electronic systems of speculative money (bloomberg platforms) that allow to invent money for free just jacking up the value of ‘future prices’ of stocks and commodities, or impose their policies to governments playing with their currencies.
So capitalism confronts today a new dilemma: the 3 final scales of the bottom of the previous pyramid, middle classes and workers are being substituted by mechanical workers and consumers (as robots will consume cameras, platforms, cars). What to do with them? Increasingly only the 1% on top of owners, ‘ideologists’ and ‘herders’ (politicians, priests of go(l)d churches, stockrats), have a ‘job’; albeit on the long term also expendable… The rest is bothersome, unneeded, a surplus, an added cost. In the previous crisis, this meant they were consumed in wars.
And this is again the solution which is implemented increasingly on 3rd world countries, its dictators and our armies, as we did in the XIX century colonial age. Now we use poor nations as targets of our robotic weapons, while in the 1st world, banks keep exploiting the system, workers are unemployed and must be controlled with future police robots. So basically the 99% of humans are becoming obsolete and are becoming ‘parasites’ of the system that must be eliminated. How the system will finish them up? As long as humans run the system this poises difficult problems. But as the system becomes an automated planet of machines, during this century, the end of capitalism after a century of social struggle, fascism or revolution, seems clear: memes of metal will substitute memes of life an mankind will be eliminated.
It is in fact being eliminated… mentally, as viruses first do, by introducing an alien mind-code, an alien DNA.
12. BUSINESS AS USUAL. THE METALEARTH.
You live in a darwinian, tribal world in which there is not scientific analysis and design of mankind, and our political and economical systems. And the result is that as military men are not scientists of history, but the people who won that struggle with the use of Darwinian weapons, and many of their errors have been passed into the ‘national system’ -starting for the concept of nation that make us ‘different species’, not homo sapiens but homo britannicus, homo americanus etc – the ruling financial economists and bankers and corporations who control the economy are not experts of economics but the people who have imposed in that tribal fight, their power through the misuse and monopoly in the production of money, mass-media information and industrial wealth (weapons and machines).
But once all ideological and human speech is translated to biology, what we observe is the terraforming of the planet Earth from a world of life and humans into a world of machines, building a superorganism of increasingly automated corporations, where humans will soon be expendable as most life already is:
In the graph, the Earth is evolving both in organic scale from individual human beings and machines into global systems and in species, from life beings into metal-systems, in which computers, metal-minds, connect and direct massive systems of automated machines. The robotic revolution will complete that transition from gaia into the metal-earth.
This is the ultimate meaning of the age of chips and information.
For that reason, it is imperative to understand technology in biological terms, abandoning the mathematical, abstract approach of classic economics, which cannot understand those cycles of evolution, neither studies the ‘real’ competence and collateral effects some lethal machines are having on mankind – from global warming, produced by the ‘detritus of those machines’, to the massive wave of unemployment that robotics is causing, to the risks poised by the evolution of Nuclear Weapons, into the threshold of ‘planetary bombs’ – quark bombs and black holes that can potentially destroy the planet.
In that regard, a Free Market is an ‘Economic ecosystem’, regulated by a language of information called money and ruled by company-mothers, whose aim is to re=produce and evolve machines, simple organisms of metal that imitate the functions of energy and information of the human being. As a result the Earth becomes terraformed, from a carbon-life ecosystem (Gaia), ruled by human organizations (Governments) and human languages (verbal laws) into an economic ecosystem (Free Market), dominated by company-mothers, money and machines, which enhance our energy and information but also compete and substitute man in war and labor fields.
Thus, a biological analysis of Free Markets shows the need to regulate the evolution of technology, pruning the bad fruits of the tree of science, weapons, robots and polluting industries, as we do with lethal organisms (virus, predators) to limit their competence with mankind, while fostering biological, human goods needed for our survival (agriculture, education, housing, verbal ethics, health, environment), if we want to make the world safer and sustainable for life . . . But that is an ‘objective science of economics’. We are not guided by ‘objective, good-hearted, idealist scientists’, but by ‘the invisible hand of go(l)d’ – by human greed, by passions and desires to which ‘reason’ bends, finding always ‘stupendous arguments’ of ‘highly-prized experts’, to make possible and justify profits.
It is for that reason that the previous cycles, called the Kondratieff cycles of the economy, are known to economists, but their use is reduced to charting profits in the stock-market and other financial aspects of the economy, despite their huge social and historic implications. Unfortunately, guided by profits, Economics pretends to be a ‘mathematical’ science, independent of History, uninterested in the collateral effects of the production of machines, money and weapons might cause to mankind.
And yet, because those cycles are real, even Wall Street economists use those cycles to forecast financial changes, without caring to investigate their meaning.
My approach to forecast those cycles and the present crisis, described in detail in my pioneer books on biological economics two decades ago was different.
Since the financial economy is merely a reflection of the physical economy of energy, used to reproduce and evolve machines, and money, I applied the cycles of Kondratieff to the evolution of energy and machines and through an analysis of its dates for all the countries of the Western world, came to the conclusion that both cycles were parallel, related to the development of new energies and the weapons and machines constructed with them. Once this was clear to me, I corrected the basic error made by Kondratieff in his calculus of the duration of the cycle, as Russia was an under-developed economy.
So its cycles of machines were shorter, because Russia imported machines already developed, starting the cycle of trains latter than the Industrialized World. Thus, I found the real periodicity of the cycle to be 72 years, which coincides with the ‘Generational cycle’ of History. Then, I calculated that in 2001 and 2008, the reproduction of chips and its electronic software (e-money) would reach again a peak of overproduction and cause a collapse in the global economy – as it has happened.
A detailed analysis of the cycle of 72 years of evolution of energies and machines explains what all the models of classic economics have failed to understand: money also follows a cycle of evolution and reproduction, related to the machines used to ‘invent’ it, today electronic machines, which have not only saturated the world with hardware but also with e-money software, till money lost value. Because money is reproduced also with machines, its cycle is parallel to the cycle of machines of the economy.
Thus, we predicted, parallel to the crisis of overproduction of computers, also a financial crisis of e-money, made with PCs, similar to the 29 crash of the ‘ticker money’ economy, which jacked up prices of stock with electric machines into surreal levels. Indeed, there is every 72 years a huge crash in the stock-market with 2 short ±8 years ripples, due to an over-production of money and machines, which plunges the world into a global depression, till the new cycle of energies and new machines takes off, creating new industries and jobs that replace those of the previous cycle.
The boom and bust cycle of the global economy is both, a cycle of reproduction of energy, weapons, machines and economical information, money, as all of them are related. 3 negative effects are paramount:
false value explodes, it ruins the economy of the Middle class. Thus, at the end of those cycles there is paradoxically, at the height of the reproduction of money and machines of the highest price (weapons) a deep crisis for the human economy and a Great Depression, as machines and forms of money created with those energies become over-reproduced, saturating the economic ecosystem. Thus, the details of the 3 crashes are similar:
In the age of steam machines, there is a peak in stock-money issues of worthless train companies in the 1850s, precisely when the best railroad lines had been constructed and the new ones were loosing money – not because people thought they were profitable, but because the business of inventing stocks had reached its evolving peak. Meanwhile the 2 commonest jobs of the age, farming and transport, greatly diminished, as prices and revenues for farmers, lowered due to the efficiency of train transport; while 90% of horses were killed in a decade in England, when the train put them out of work.
In 1928, there was a peak in the creation of new stocks in companies of cars and radios, when RCA shares reached an astonishing 500 $ value, precisely when the slump in consumption of cars had started in earnest, as all Americans had their Ford-T. Yet the electric ticker, the equivalent to e-money in the 1920s, had been implanted in small towns and was sucking in money from the middle class all over America to satisfy the ‘Ponzi Pyramids’ of Wall Street speculation in radio’s stocks. Then, in 1929 and 8 years latter in 1937, the physical and financial economy crashed together. While the reproduction of electric systems of automation in assembly lines at factories provoked also a massive wave of unemployment.
Thus, we are in a similar age to the 1929-37 crashes of the ‘ticker’ economy: e-money has reproduced massively, as financiers learned to maximize its electronic invention, while in the physical economy robots and electronic software have thrown out of job millions of blue and white collar workers in a massive wave of unemployment and the first ‘splendid little wars’ that will take companies out of the crises are essayed in Afghanistan with drone planes, which evolve fast to become the Terminators of the new age of war.
These ‘negative side effects’ of each of the final ‘boom’ ages of reproduction and evolution of machines, weapons and money, of the ‘wealth of nations’, imply that machines not only enhance our life but also compete and displace human labor and soldiers. Yet, since Adam Smith established the economic dogma that all machines are good, and the more we have the better, because their sale makes money, the invisible hand of go(l)d, we must not argue, we prefer to deny the negative collateral effects those cycles had for mankind…
In that regard, this crisis is the beginning of a ‘runaway’ era of hefty profits obtained with the elimination of human jobs (growth in productivity caused by robots and white collar pcs) and human lives (military profits as weapons consume human beings). And it is parallel to the 1860s, gilded era, and 30s fascist era. In the 3 ages, the overproduction of a new type of energy and information machines (electronic machines in this cycle, electric and oil machines in the 30s, trains in the XIX c.) changed the outlook of history and the destiny of mankind, as those machines took over jobs performed previously by humans and their ‘biological, re=productive organisms’, corporations, took over the political and social systems of mankind.
Now, the previous graph, is the lanwave of corporations and the future of all of us. The corporation is a company-mother of memes of metal guided by the equation of monetary profits that will always eliminate a human. There is no freedom of decisions under such tree of actions. Nothing matters. it is all an automated process, which we shall understand better when we realize that machines are set to evolve as humans do, by imitating and substituting our organs, creating finally organic metal, robots with iron bodies and gold minds. This is the destiny of our civilization under the grammar of money.
A future in which men will be discharged as objects of lesser price than the constantly evolving machines and weapons of higher ‘productivity’, efficiency and affinity and complementarity with money, the language of information of metal, today e-money cycles in computer screens.
CONCLUSION. ONLY A REAL SCIENCE OF ECONOMICS COULD SAVE MANKIND
D) THEORETICAL SOLUTIONS TO THE CRISIS.
‘The Economist’, the high priest of this science made a test of the ‘scientific nature’ of economics, affirming that it should be able to predict the future as sciences did, testing taxi drivers, garbage collectors, ministers of economy and neo-classic scholars on future indicators of growth and unemployment. Result: taxi drivers came first close to garbage collectors. Why? Because they used just common sense while economists and ministers used all the LIES OF THIS PSEUDO-SCIENCE OR IDEOLOGY THAT JUST CATERS TO THE ROSSY, FALSE future sold by corporations. But would you put your health and life in the hands of quacks that pass as doctors? So that is what mankind is doing.
Understand this: economists and bankers are NOT the scientists of economics, as the military and the politicos are NOT the scientists of history but the people who use MONEY, weapons and machines to impose their power. And the people who cater to them since Tertulianus put it neatly” ‘you will defend me with the sword and I will defend you with the word’.
Which leads to the D) point of the scientific method that we will treat extensively at the end of this page: the null capacity of Intelligent Design in Economics to ‘design intelligently’ a world made to our image and likeness, as human beings NOT to the image and likeness of the machines that give profits to corporations.
FINALLY we have come to the last point of a true science of economics and history, which paradoxically USES THE TRUTHS OF AN OBJECTIVE NON-HUMAN POINT OF VIEW, TO BEND REALITY TO FAVOR MANKIND. This is in an opposite fashion to what Intelligent Design does: to deny the objective point of view, the power of machines and corporations, as biological organisms, and then to deny the human praxis by sheeplishly subconsciously moved by the fetishe of money accumulation, direct the world according to the biological will of companies, favoring their reproduction of memes of metal. Instead a human science of economics and history will acknowledgely humbly the limits of life and this planet Gaia, and control therefore the unlimited reproduction of selfish memes of metal, promoting the reproduction of human goods.
What goods are thoe? In the next frame of reference we use the laws of biology that consider human positive goods those who increase our evolution as individuals, improving our bodies, minds and social organisms, as positive goods that should have positive value, and the negative goods that harm our body, mind and social life as negative goods that should be controlled, forbidden and regulated by the economists and politicians that should rule mankind with a human perspective.
In a real democracy, as only existed briefly in r=evolutionary periods in America and Europe, money would be printed as ‘nomisma’, a language of information as the law is, handed to the people through a Universal Salary, as ‘economical voting power’ used to pay the goods voters require, giving ‘demand’ orders of production to welfare companies that would provide us with our needs. Instead in capitalism, money is created by financial and industrial corporations in stock-markets and computer platforms to overproduce their ‘offspring’ of machines, while people are extorted of their money with taxes, which are also handed to corporations or used to subvention the military-industrial complex and make war.
The issue of electronic money in its immense majority (95% of credit) by the ‘Free Citizens’ of Markets, which are not human beings but Corporations NOT by the people or their representatives, is the REAL cause of the endemic scarcity of human goods that cater to our survival (represented in the graph), and the overproduction of machines and weapons, as those company-mothers of machines spend all their money in the overproduction and evolution of their offspring of machines. For that reason we humans are poor and corporations are rich; we humans lack basic needs, like food and education and machines have all electricity… But this choice of investing all our resources in the future of machines NOT in our future is hidden by the ideologies of our ‘technological civilization’.
In the graph, the all too obvious dual solution to the political, economical and existential crisis of mankind
- The issue of ‘yes money’, a new global currency, fusion of the major currencies, Yuan, Yen, Euro and Dollar, at parity levels, 1 Eurodollar=20 yuans = 100 yens, adjusted internally by price, with rights to be printed for and by the people and its governments to kick out a global New Deal, impossible to tumble by speculators (as it would be truly the reference for all other prices).
- And the use of the UNO and other international agencies and forums to create systematically legislation that limits the lethal goods of the industrial r=evolution, specifically the most dangerous of them, robotics that will evolve, displace man of labor and war fields and ultimately according to the laws of evolution, substitute us a the top predator species of this planet.
What opposes to those self-evident solutions to create a human like paradise on Earth based in the most desire, biological, natural goods that our ‘program of biological existence’ determines – illustrated on the bottom of the graph – is NOT the sound nature of those policies, but the selfishness or anti-human goals of financial and industrial corporations, whose lobbies control today the issue of money and through that issue, the policies of our politicos and will deviate those issues to rhetoric, placebo freedoms till the system becomes too chaotic and over powerful in a jungle of metal where man will have no future, but will be ‘happy’ living a virtual reality of ‘fantasy ideologies’ and dream-like ego-trips till one day wakes up to the ‘nightmare of the singularity age.
The democratic, efficient issue of legal money.
However in an efficient democratic system, made to the image and likeness of the efficient organisms of Nature, money would not be issued to earn usury and promote warfare but will be free of usury and would promote human welfare.
When the nervous and blood systems – the languages of information akin to the law and money of a natural organism – give orders to cells they do NOT expect to get back them overcharged. This ONLY IS ALLOWED when the orders are wrong and the cell can deliver back a PAIN ORDER to the brain so it behaves. And this indeed, is the second element lacking in our democracies to be true democracies, latter explained with more detail:
- The free issue by the government’s brain of bills of law and bills of money to kick out the ‘actions’ of the body cells of the social organism.
- The existence of a systematic judgment process NOT only an election, AT THE END OF EACH TENURE of a civil servant, equivalent to the capacity of the cells to send pain messages to the brain. Indeed, politicos can scam people because they are NOT JUDGED on their promises fulfillment. So after tenure, the voters should poll again to either penalize the civil servant with A) Jail for clear crimes of embezzlement and social murder; B) financial penalties equivalent to his salary for inefficient job C) equal salary reward for outstanding job D) Re-election for a second and third tenure… Thus by mimicking a social organism – which is always the natural model we scientists should follow in the design of historic and economical ones, a true democracy would be achieved holding politicos responsible.
Thus it is obvious after this introduction to the science of money and the meaning of democracy that the crisis is a CRISIS OF the system, which is NOT properly designed but created by the primitive thinking of historic cult(ure)s of Gold.
And that 2 elements of a real democracy are missed in all our societies – the issue of nomisma, legal money as orders of work, by elected governments, obliged to respect and provide the voters with the promises they made… if they don’t want to be judged…
It is thus evident that the crisis will NOT be solved unless the system changes and a real democracy in which people is handed money issued free of usury and politicos are hold responsible of their promises is established. And this can only be done by a real, physical r=evolution against the ‘Bastille’ of European and American capitalism (Wall Street and the ECB bank, Brussels and the corrupted politicos of Washington) or by a true ‘leader’ of democracy, an ‘Asimovian mule’ that ‘refunds’ our social systems according to the laws of natural, efficient, social organisms in which all the cells-citizens of the body receive enough energy and information to survive.
Man should recognize the primacy of man and hence of his language, the law over machines and money IF WE WANT TO SURVIVE AND HAVE A FUTURE on this planet. Thus we design the proper, efficient models of history and economics with the laws of systems sciences and biology, as offshoots of human disciplines. And affirm that money MUST be ‘nomisma’, fiat, legal money issued by governments and the people to create a just sustainable human world made to the image and likeness of our species…
A social, free democracy & demand economy could create a world paradise.
The solution is obvious: a real democracy that caters to the need of the people and it is efficient, as social organisms made by nature are requires at least 3 elements:
– The control of the 2 languages of social power by the collective brain of the organism, the informative/nervous legal system and the financial, blood, energetic one. Otherwise the organism is totally dysfunctional. Imagine your body with two ‘siamese’ heads, each one going a different way, or more accurately with a brain giving nervous/informative/legal orders of motion left, when the heart/blood/economic/financial system acts independently moving the body right. In your body the nervous/informative/legal system CONTROLS the economic/blood system and uses both to ‘feed’ with right information and energy ALL the cells of the body, even if the neuronal ‘people-caste’ obtains 10 times more energy for its commanding role.
Today the system is even worst. It is called a cancer: there is an astounding minority, the 1% of stockratic owners of corporations, with a managerial ±9% that have absolute rights to the entire blood/financial system of the body and give none back, as cancers do, multiplying their wealth, and extracting the meager resources of the rest of the body – a bloated, mindless liver that absorbs all the healthy blood and sends poisonous ‘memes of metal’, weapons and hate-media to the rest of the body. It is like a leukemia, in which the brain of the cell – our verbal, ethic, humanist laws that made us reproduce the welfare goods we need and love and share energy and information with other cells as healthy bodies do – is substituted by the DNA of the virus – our ideologies of human hate, selfish ego-trips, homo bacteria behavior, and techno-utopias that consider machines not life the meaning of it all – that make us reproduce only the viral DNA, poisoning our planet.
Instead we should select through a financial system owned by the brain-goverment, the good fruits of the tree of science that make us survive and evolve our brains and forbid those who kill us and trash our brains. So we would have massive investment in health care, housing, agriculture, education, humanist sciences, tourism, languages, environment, infrastructures, non-fiction information (documentaries free press), a credit handled by nationalized financial industries to private entrepreneurs in all those sectors, who would maximize the efficiency of individual entrepreneurship and the public rationale of non-profiteering bankers, just civil servants with the job of selecting the best purposes for credited companies. While those companies who create lethal machines for our body and brain will have null credit or would be legally banned, despite its higher profits (as weapons and digital trash software are the most profitable goods, in mathematical, economic equations: profits = Maximal price (weapons, the most perfect, top predator machines) – Minimal cost (digital software, that reproduces easily with no limit).
Finally labor will be the goal not productivity, which is exactly the opposite equation of labor. Since productivity=machines/labor, grows when we put more machines and fire more workers: ∆Productivity=∆Machine-capital/Labor
This equation, so simple and easy to understand that a school student can explain it is the mantra of our corporations and corrupted politicians, who tell us the anti-truth that rising productivity will create labor, when it does the opposite.
What those equations of productivity by firing workers and profits by creation of lethal machines tell us is several things:
– Machines compete with humans in labor and war fields and corporations are promoting those who destroy our lives, because their purpose is not human. It is to create a world made to the image and likeness of their offspring of machines, and so they need ideologies that justify that destruction, which are better served in a language we do NOT understand.
– the corruption of the political system is so absolute that they are pushing all the policies that destroy labor and life and citizen’s wealth to service corporations and bankers. So this leads to the 3rd measure (after a real control of the 2 languages of social power by elected governmetns) – a real democracy that ensures politicos will not be corrupted employees, puppets-clowns, house-negroes et al of those corporations, or else citizens can easily penalize them harshly. And again the model to achieve such perfect democracies is Nature and its perfect mammal organisms.
– Indeed the organism is also a perfect democracy, because those commanding neurons are JUDGED-VOTED a posteriori, with PAIN messages by a feed-back nervous power given to the cells. This means in a perfect democracy there would be also a VOTE at posteriori which will allow citizens to penalize those politicians AND BANKERS to the service of the people that ABSORB MORE ENERGY than they are allowed, or lie and do NOT try to accomplish their programs.
A real democracy will vote first in open lists NOT TO PARTIES BUT TO PEOPLE, because there is only a ‘natural social science’ whose purpose would be to BUILD A PERFECT WORLD, ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF NATURE, designing a perfect social organism that caters to the need of all mankind. So the choice is not of two siamese parties to the service of corporations but of individuals, ethic and intelligent enough to make the best of the resources of this planet. But the main vote would be a posteriori with penalties of jail for crimes against life or fines for monetary gain (negative, pain messages), or re-election for a job well done, or a salary pension if the politician retires.

Notes: The Content of this web and its meaning within the Western Tradition.
The first predictions of the 2001 and 2008 crisis were in fact done by this author back in the 90s, with his discovery of the fractal dual biological, organic nature of the Kondratieff waves of evolution of machines, in his books, ‘The extinction of man’ and ‘Bio-history, Bio-economics’ (94, 97, Bookmasters, Ohio). In those earlier books, we considered the 2008 crisis the beginning of the last century of history, the age of ‘organic machines’ and weapons, as it has been the case. The exact periodicity of the wave is explained in this text and many others of this web.
Kondratieff made a simple error, considering the train wave periodicity in Russia, an underdeveloped country that receive the wave latter. Thus till we correct that error, the cycle was considered to be only of 50 years (see text for a more precise definition of the wave). Now, we know the cycle has a periodicity of 72 years, which corresponds to the generational cycle of human beings and the nations that are on top of each wave: the British cycle of steam machines (1784-1857), then the German cycle of electro-chemical engines (1857-72 years -1929), and finally the American cycle of electronic machines (1929-2001), which ended with the dotcom and derivative crash, a short-product cycle of 7 years later (2008)

We provide on this theme, on both sides a deeper, systemic viewon the evolution of the economic ecosystem and history, in the context of the evolution of this planet, introducing the Laws of general systems and how they apply to the study of ‘memetic cultures’, which can be differentiated between those dedicated to the pursuit of memes of life and those dedicated to the creation and evolution of memes of metal. The web sides with cultures of memes of life, as they are the only ones that could ensure the survival of history.
For those who like both form and content, better crafted, written pieces on those themes can be found on my e-books on the subjects treated in this web, offered at reduced prices. You are welcomed to copy and distribute this information as you wish.
these posts followed a series of conferences given at the International Systems Sciences Society, recently erased from google scholar due to the protests of an anonymous ‘minority’ member of the society that threatened with suits according to the present models of censorship in the discipline based in ‘political correctness’, proper of all forms of ‘Intelligent Design’ – some parts follow the arid discourse of papers with a neutral tone, which can be found in my books at kindle, other parts come from a less elaborated, angry ‘stream of consciousness’ on all those themes that the reader can consult the ‘ad lateral’ posts and pages).
