Gandalf-I come to piggington with a radical voice for a reason. To let everybody know things are not going to be the same in the future. Despite the tone of my post I am very optimistic. However, optimism is contingent on where you place you bets. I don’t bet on this current zeitgeist to last.
We need creativity to devise a new type of economy. It’s not coming out of DC. My fear is the USG is not as keystone cop-esque as perceived at least not in the depths of the Pentagon, federal reserve and intelligence agencies. I think the people should have a say what ever social and economic structure emerges. It should not be stumbled upon via crisis.
We are a myopic species via our evolutionary successes. It just is what has worked for us in the 200K+ years this hybrid hominid species has been wondering the earth.
That needs to end. It’s time for us to grow up and realize the earth has limits and that very much affects our quality of life.
