Collapsing System of Economics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Our economic social system is collapsing. (NOTE: in my system of thought economics is always implicitly social, yet also has individualistic elements) There is no more stage for those who always get better.Everything is like putting on a show. But room on stage is running out. We are lost in the middle of the show we are seeing. It seems good — like it will always be that good.In an earlier stage of this society of capitalistic processes (“capitalistic society”) very good musicians were employed
The Horror: of all Things ‘social’! (opens the original)
Read excerpt

(These pronouns are driving me crazy, I don’t know about you.) The person in other words “lives out” a most
This Garbage Gonna Burn (opens the original)
Read excerpt
People in the West orient towards attainment. Lots of “type-A” personalities — or else, those are the one who are most prominent and the others are ignored. The West attained wealth. I’ll give you that. For most persons just wealth alone is not sufficient. Just wealth alone is not considered a major attainment, or much of any attainment at all.And if such a view is correct the billionaires come off as mere oddities. So, Bezos, Zumkerberk, Ellison, Buffet, et. al. are of no distinction -they aren
