Power is Not the Problem. I Am.

Even corrupt Power is only a superficial matter. Something much deeper is happening.

It's often heard said: 

"when the people have become corrupt, the worst rise quickly and easily to the top".

I think this is where we are today in the world generally. People on the whole have decided to let go of our obligations, in the hope the waves will not come lapping at our own doors. The hope is that any problems will be thrown only onto those poor souls who are out of sight and out of mind.

It's a gamble. We prefer gambling to the meeting of our obligations. It's easier. An escape. Hoping no one will notice. So many people are like this now, it's  effectively formed into a democratic majority, where the leaders selected are a proxy for this grotesque and corrupt collective of people. So do not blame wealth and power. They are merely giving the great masses exactly what they ask for! Wealth and Power are just an image of Me.

"You get the government you elect. And you get them good and hard"

The brave soul - or is that 'the fool'?, who makes a stand against this corrupt majority will quickly be censored by them or worse. Usually worse. There's no need to call wealth and power for assistance, when the great masse will take care of this heretic, without coercion and for free.

I think this appalling situation, in the face of the huge potential opportunity going unattended, has become possible due to the staggering productive power of the world today - there is so much wealth produced nowadays, for relatively little inputs compared to the past thanks to technology, that even the grotesque wastage DOGE is revealing so bravely, still cannot send the economy into collapse...yet.

It's a pity even DOGE still cannot see the scale of it all, in spite of their good work. It's much worse than even they are saying. Technology is keeping it afloat for a while.

That's not to say it will hold out forever. A 'correction' is inevitable, it's just not today nor in the foreseeable future. At least not for the next year or so.

So Power, per se, is not the problem. Unless I Am, Power.

PETITION: Government to indicate countries of the UK are open to accede to the US

Sign the Petition A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the United Kingdom, it would end their system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy . Instead, if they joined the United States as separate states, they would govern themselves under the U.S. federal system while receiving its protection. This proposal recognises that immediate change is unlikely but urges a serious con...

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview?

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview? I didn't. But it's when I believe my worldview, is truth, that I become violent without realising it. This is extremely hard for people to accept as possible. The resistance to seeing it and the temptation to escape from looking, is built into its foundations. So, I never said worldviews are bad for us. I did say that when I believe my worldview is a fact, then "I" become root cause of the worlds problems. Thought creates an image of the world. Then thought worships the image that thought created. I am scared of death. So I create an existential worldview about immortality - an image. This can be a God, a political ideology, scientific religiosity, atheism, planet saving activism, anything which my fear of death can hide behind. So if I do 'good' through this image I created, I will ultimately get a 'seat on the right hand side of God' , or whatever the image I created has defined as heaven. Then I w...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado

This is a proposal to show how the 18.6 year real estate cycle is a hang over from times where the mechanics of the lunar month were used by high priests of the time to forecast ancient agricultural cycles - what we would today call a business cycle culminating in a financial crisis or a great recession. The 18.6 year period is governed by the intersection of lunar and solar eclipses. It is known scientifically as the Saros Cycle. Where all 3 harmonics of the orbit of the moon coincide once every 18.6 years. The ancient scholars knew this. And the politicians of the time used it to signal the day when the economy would be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because this period was about how long the people of nations could abuse the economy before it was too late to recover on its own and much worse effects would have emerged. So it was the wisdom of the leadership of the time. As the aeons went by, the meaning and rationale of this policy became normalised - people an...
