I just watched the latest convo between nostr:nprofile1qqsd0uazmzmhwseeym3rjhf3txyjapreapc6sq8yq8cy07cg45tlx2cprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qyd8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytn0wfskuem9wp5kcmpwv3jhvr2k...
These are fair criticisms. Here's my response:
If you believe--as I do--that humanity/society/governments/financial systems/monetary systems/etc. move in cycles, then my views may not seem so contradictory or "bizarre," as you state.
For instance, a man does not stand on a beach, hoping for a warmth and a sun tan when it is snowing and lake is water is frozen. When Summer is over and Winter comes, he is wise to wear warm clothes and build a fire to stay warm.
Likewise, when we approach the climax of a #FourthTurning, then the existing human systems and structures necessarily begin to collapse, and new ones are built on the other side.
History has shown that all involved countries essentially turn "communist"... that is, from "free market capitalism" and individualism to central command and control. Only by banding together and working towards a common goal (against a common enemy) can a nation hope to survive and win a major war against a major adversary.
I'm not pro-war, but I am a realist who believes that WW3 has already begun... similar to how WW2 began in the mid-to-late 1930s for Europe, Asia, and North Africa... not in 1941, as many Americans believe.
Finally, it is naive to believe that America is still a "free market capitalist" system in 2026. The US government is heavily involved in the both the financial and monetary systems... directing funds towards the rapid build-out of the military industrial complex at the expense of other "non-essential" industries, massively expanding government debt, actively debasing the people's purchasing power, etc.
In short, the US government is actively picking winners and losers--central command and control, a form of "communism"--in order to compete with their named adversaries. Ironically, the US is becoming more like China in order to compete with China.
This response is already getting too long, but I haven't even addressed the coming age of AI and robotics, which also mean that humans will lose across the board in almost all labor competitions. If "free market capitalism" still exists in the 2030s and beyond, then most humans who try to compete will be the recipients of creative destruction.
Soon, humans won't be able to outthink AI or outwork robots... a la John Henry, the "steel-drivin' man." -- If this is the case, then our entire society/government/financial system/monetary system/etc. will need to be re-thought and re-created.
Hopefully this helps. Cheers.
