I have been trying to understand some of the many comments
about the financial market and the measures being employed in an
attempt to
restore stability. Suddenly the reality hit me. I was astonished that
I had
been so taken in by the widespread controversy that I had forgotten
the
fundamental natural law that I had gone to so much trouble to define
in ‘What
went wrong? The misdirection of civilization’. I called it the
Dependence on
Nature Law because all the operations of civilization entail
irreversibly using
natural goods and services, some of which are natural capital (INMR)
and some
natural income (RNMR). What the natural goods and services are used
for makes
no difference to the principle that limited INMR is being used up at a
high
rate and it is now becoming scarce. Money has an influence on what the
INMR is
used for but, again, has absolutely no impact on the principle that it
is
becoming depleted. It has no more influence on that principle than
technology
or the inventiveness of humans.

I wonder how long it will be before there is widespread
understanding of that stark reality. It is ironical that the
depression
developing from this financial chaos will force many people to wake up
to this
reality as they attempt to power down.

I thank Denis Frith for the above.

However, given that the vast majority have no ability to think of such
matters:

"The Whole", including all twits that thought that their sad sort
could come up with a solution to the madness that curse their lives,
are left to face a life of want and weariness as the lies they tried
to believe and wanted, so badly, to believe, are stuck down, one by
one; and they are left to suffer the costs and consequences as fools
who dared not "ättempt" to "think".

To a safer, saner and more caring world.

To Duty.
