Two Seemingly Separated Stories, But Both Sharing The Common Thread Of Growing Instability, As Well As How Everything Affects Everything Else; eventually.

This is why it is so important to understand why we must keep faith with the idea of "enlightened self interest." Because in that do we see how we must always strive to address instability with the best balance of thoughtful practicality, and heartfelt empathy. We must do this even if others do not because it necessary, right, and a moral imperative.

With the analysis, and subsequent proposals laid out in my two blogs, we could address the root causes of poverty and start to truly address them in a very straight forward way (getting rig of Capitalism of itself would be a good start). With the technologies, and the proposals I've outlined for applying them, we could start building new living habitat for people here, and abroad. And we could do this in a way that would give us the working means to start building bridges of cooperation with those whom we now have growing tensions with. And there are certainly a great number of other technologies we could also apply, with very creative new ways to do the applications, if we were no longer burdened with the old economics of structurally institutionalized scarcity.

We must also do this, however, precisely because this vast new array of new instrumentality, and the many new ways to use it all, has created an entirely new kind of operating environment. One never experienced before. To think we can continue with business as usual in the light of this is absurdity taken to heights exactly appropriate to the crazy we now see becoming the new norm in life here, and in the rest of the world.

I've said it before, and I will say it again: We must change now or die.

The End of German Stability

The collapse of coalition talks bodes badly for Angela Merkel, and for democratic governments everywhere.
