It's worked for over 6000 years and kept world population in check in the process. The golden rule also applies to how we conduct ourselves with our fellow humans in every facet of out daily lives because the medium of exchange is honest where it requires back breaking labor and tremendous amount of energy to acquire the commodity that has intrinsic value. Remember, money is only useful as a medium of exchange and that's it. <br /><br />If you look at when the population started to go exponential, it was the same time as when we started to go off the pure gold standard in the early 1900's. The world population then escalated to parabolic levels in the 1970's because can you guess what happened in 1971?<br /><br />Creating and expanding credit in a fiat monetary regime gives the illusion to the general population a false sense of prosperity. Money base on debt, through credit expansion is unsustainable and just an illusion. Such a system constantly require the population to continually to grow on a finite planet with finite resources to support the debt that needs to be paid back plus interest.<br /><br />We're doom folks. People who live their lives in gluttony will get a rude wake up call very soon in the near future. ponzibynaturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16164418876659617516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992740250270600844.post-42563188600297656872019-01-25T15:39:04.366-08:002019-01-25T15:39:04.366-08:00A very good dose of reality.A very good dose of reality.Emilio Gonzalez M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13404963209882090807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992740250270600844.post-66349427188182799112019-01-18T21:32:42.573-08:002019-01-18T21:32:42.573-08:00Unfortunately, I don't have a practical soluti...Unfortunately, I don't have a practical solution. Sometime back, I was thinking that maybe we can develop a technology to freeze people on voluntarily basis, so that everyone could live their lifespan sooner or later. Either that or a meteor. Even started a book about it.<br /><br />Firstly, long life doesn't mean happy life, and not only it negatively contributes to macroeconomics, it could also be thought as unnatural or even immoral or selfish. Why you might ask? Let's think about it. In most developed countries younger generation is paying for the older. If we are not expected to retire at older age, one young generation will need to start supporting two and more older generations. Also, the idea of artificially prolonging life without procreation is a serious threat to our genome and species. Or rather to the process of evolution. Which only works through procreation. Unless of course we also artificially modify our genome to adapt to changed conditions. And again, think of the life as a gift. Not wanting to give it to someone else and to leave this world for that someone is simply selfish.<br /><br />Secondly, the videos that you cited from the Population Research Institute, have very very low quality of information. These folks are either tools or trolls. Using a few historical books, it is very easy to discredit them. Not worthy opponent, scientifically speaking.<br /><br />Thirdly, only mass education and increased awareness have a chance at making a difference. Meanwhile, the people who have means to do a proper move, will stop at nothing to stall it. Even if their avarice causes mass destruction. Funny enough, yesterday, I was thinking that the same people are prepared for anything, even to live their long lonely life in the catacombs they build for themselves just in case.<br /><br />Lastly, until we fix the underpinning machinery of our society, any reset (like any war) will only give us a timeout and will start the process anew. We could, perhaps, use the timeout to find a permanent solution. But by the same inexorable logic, the longer the timeout we need, the more devastating the reset should be.<br /><br />P.S. Each generation is used to think about our society as a slice in time, we should think differently. We should think about people who passed away, who now live and those unborn generations.yesaulTubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922640177092607149noreply@blogger.com
