I've been on Earth long enough to know that every human government, whether Communist, Socialist or Democratic, is corrupt due to the existence of Capitalism. The proof is simple:

One type of folly:

Newton's Third Law of Inertia plain and simply put: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction - is still proven to be correct throughout the Universe. Unfortunately this law is ignored by humans when dealing with human labor. Work should be rewarded by an equal measure of benefit. Keeping this in mind, how do we justify one elite human earning millions of dollars for doing physically very little, while the poor work at or near minimum wage and remain second class citizens? There is NO moral justification for human inequality and every human being deserves an equal chance at peace and a stress free life. The future of humankind is doomed under the rule of the governing Elite.
Fact.....

We are preoccupied with opinion rather than fact. We are preoccupied with profit over compassion and we fail to understand that we are all subject to bigotry and xenophobic conditioning.

Today useless conflicts abound with Christians against Muslims, Capitalists against Communists, Jews against Palestinians, Republicans against Democrats, blacks against whites, left against right and the rich against the poor. All of these conflicts are totally absurd on a cosmic level because the universe simply doesn't care about "human folly". 

MY SELF DETERMINATION

As a consequence of the above statements I refuse to participate in this inane human folly any longer. I do not consider myself a conservative, liberal, Christian, Jew, Muslim, Republican, Democrat, Communist, Socialist, American, Anarchist or, last but not least, free. I am simply one of billions of human beings. I am an Earthling. The very idea that humankind should be segmented by class, flag, race or ideology is a sign of evolutionary mediocrity and stagnation. A sure sign of failure on the cosmic level.
ELITE EXCUSES AGAINST CHANGE
The excuse that working hard "means" getting an education or climbing some obscure financial ladder is wrong and immoral. Ninety eight percent of humankind are slaves living in a fantasy perpetuated by the two percent of humans we call wealthy. The only way to rid ourselves of Capitalism is a "Human Reboot" allowing a peaceful transition from Capitalism to an honest "resource based economy". We need a border free world. Imagine the progress we could make if we actually shared all knowledge, health care and technology. A revolution without violence. There is more on the concept of a Human Reboot later.

WHAT IS HUMAN FOLLY?
Human folly is ideology itself, which is the futile attempt at interpreting the Universe and imposing that interpretation on others. One thing I do know about the universe is, IT DOESN'T CARE. We can study it, we can love it's beauty and wonder at its origin, but we must adapt to its movement through time and adjust to its ways, or die. Our salvation is not to ponder or fight over the right and wrong of human beliefs. Our salvation is in looking at the cosmic machine barreling down on the present moment. This includes Earth and its gradual change through time. Like Easter Island, we humans are going to heat up the planet, devour our resources, pollute the oceans and insist on ignoring the elephant in the room. 2018 is now the hottest recorded year in written history. We can't afford to make the mistake of wasting away the hours fighting meaningless wars, proclaiming our beliefs or hurting fellow humans with our bigotry. Ignorance is the ONLY excuse!


What Capitalism will do to the world of humans in the future is as bleak as any novel by George Orwell. You see, Capitalism is the ultimate deceiver. It creates, by default, an elite class consisting of 2 percent of the populous. Unfortunately it would also create an overwhelming lower tier of people who will always suffer. Ask yourself one question. Can everyone make a profit at the same time? 

Fact 1. As long as the concept of money exists, there will never be freedom.
Fact 2. As long as patriotism exists everywhere, there will never be world peace.
Fact 3. As long as class and race distinctions exist, humankind will never achieve it's potential or reach the stars.
 

I want no part of a species that demands money for knowledge, money for medical care or money simply to exist. On a cosmic level we are barely a Type 0 civilization and we are embarrassingly low in any measurable moral standard.
An alternate reality on planet Earth.
A different human reality could surface due to the development of the computer. A reality where all human stress would cease.

It would be a cooperative world worthy of cosmic scrutiny:
No more voting,
No more commercials,
No more positioning for power or wealth.
No reason to hoard gold or anything else,
No worrying about money,
No evictions,
No religious based governments enforcing one belief on others,
No Wars,
No governments ruling by extortion (bills),
No insurance (extortion),
No Dictatorships to oppress or brainwash the people,
No paying for knowledge,
No time limit on learning,
No paying for health care,
No working 8 hours a day,
No privileged information,
No hatred on the highways,
The list goes on and on and on.......

1. To arrive at a reality like the one above we must accept that religions (as noble as they may seem) have no business governing all humankind. Why?  Because the very existence of other religions present a very real possibility of perpetual conflict. Do the math! Religion belongs in the heart but not forced upon humans as a government.

2. Only a world wide Resource based economy which is completely transparent would be acceptable. This requires global cooperation and total commitment.

Humankind could survive on a resource based economy.

I suggest spending two or more decades prior to "an agreed upon global reboot". During this time humankind could inventory Earth's resources, eliminate geographical and prejudicial claims of ownership and objectively determine how we might distribute global resources equally to all humankind. 

Each and every field of human endeavor, including all the sciences, medical research, maintenance, food distribution, construction and even former business competitors, would freely share knowledge and innovations across the globe. A reboot would effectively strip humankind of our incessant selfishness, secrecy and lack of cooperation. Infrastructure needs standardization. 

Money would not exist and jobs could become four hours of public service rather than the eight hours of daily stress and bondage we experience today. 

This new world would have a flexible school system that doesn't turn the learning process into an obstacle course, or worse, a timed sprint. There is no "Eye of the Needle" to pass through at the end of each year. A system that seeks a child's abilities and promotes talent of all kinds and at any speed. Most of all, a system that allows everyone to evolve. 

There would be no hoarding, bottom line, cutting corners, scams, advertising, elitism, extortion (insurance) or exclusion from any health care.

There would be no need to sell anything. Think about it. You don't have to lie and deceive your fellow man or rely on commission. 

This new Reboot would outlaw violence towards others, eliminate coercion, stop abuse of authority and protect individual freedoms. Government would be reduced to a simple working administration focused on maintenance alone.

POWER? 

Even the pretense of having authority or power over others would be laughable and ridiculed. On an individual level we would each explore our potential freely without monetary or time restraints. We would become a blend of all colors and shades, all beautiful.

Nothing left to do but look toward the stars. 

The above examples are brief glimpses into an alternate reality. Possible? YES 

Probable? NO, since it is the majority of humans that are programmed by Capitalism. Another reason is not obvious to everyone: Have you ever witnessed a human disagreement resolved by logic? Humans are obstinate and refuse to be convinced by logic. This is why we are ruled by emotion rather than understanding.

Earth is now confronted with three Egotists who epitomize thousands of years of primitive behavior. China's president Xi Jinping, Trump and Putin are all throwbacks to an era of primitive posturing and self importance. The last thing on their mind is world peace.

ILLUSION INSTITUTION - All human reality is motivated and built upon earning a profit, which in turn eliminates any moral high ground.

Why do humans try to educate under the constraints of a stop watch? Why do we force our children to pass through the eye of a needle by limiting their time and what they may learn? But the most embarrassing thing we humans do is demand payment for knowledge. Because of Capitalism the vast majority of human children will never know their potential.

We humans must crystallize into a species with a cosmic perspective. Imagine how humans would benefit if all knowledge and resources were free and shared. Imagine a world without patents, without hoarding, without nepotism, without the prejudice we call patriotism, without corporate secrets, government secrets or ignorance.

SIGNS OF SELF IMPORTANCE

We were sailing the pacific on the USS Providence just off the coast of Bali in 1968. It was a hot still summer night around 12:00 midnight and I was sitting on the deck with a few of my friends in the navy band. Everything was eerily quiet and even the sound of a nuclear cruiser cutting the water was lost in the absolute quiet of a mirror smooth ocean. The surface of the water was completely hidden by a 2 foot high fog layer above the surface. It was as if we were sailing on a cloud and when you looked over the side you saw only white. Above us the Milky Way was crystal clear. 

Out of the cloudy mist below emerged flying fish. They would glide about 20 yards before diving back into the white silence. The whole experience was like living in a Dali painting. The flying fish, the silence and the fog were all components of a beautiful moment that I would never again experience. It wasn't over yet!! 

Gary Marcus, a 1st class petty officer who was a phenomenal tenor sax player, appeared on deck dressed only in his underwear and with his tenor sax hanging from his neck. He was following an officer up to the bridge. My friends looked at each other and agreed that he was fuming mad. Not five minutes later we heard "Bali Hai" played over the loud speaker so the whole ship could hear it. Once the melody was over he finished it off with a mad flurry of notes as if pissing all over what he had just played. Ahhh, the wonderful language of music. A beautiful evening in so many ways.

I was recently told by Mike Burns (a fine musician and one who knows about sacrifice) that Gary Marcus was married and needed to stay in the Navy to pay for his child's medical problems. Inspiration comes from those around us.

What is Memory?

The universe is full of matter that is moving. Matter in motion leaves a trail. That trail is Memory. We only need to open our eyes, smell a scent, hear a sound, taste or touch to use memory. Everything that you perceive is memory.
       Craters on all planetary bodies are memory.
       Scarred rocks from receding glaciers are memory,
       A snail's trail is memory,
       Ripples in the sand,  or a sticky dollar bill are memory,
       A bruise, a cruise or a short fuse are memory,
       The scent of perfume is memory, 
       Everything that moves or is moved upon is memory........

Now, hypothetically, if there is an awareness of all memory then that would suggest a singular universal consciousness. A glimmer of hope for all the religious out there.

"Speaking of memory, I can't tell you how many times I've stood in a room wondering what I was doing there."

THE PRESENT AND FUTURE 

STATUE OF LIBERTY INSCRIPTIONS

ORIGINAL INSCRIPTION

Give me your tired, your poor,
your huddled masses yearning to be free,
the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.

"Now it appears most Americans have determined that we can no longer afford compassion or tolerance. Oh well.....we all know that money trumps compassion".

A FUTURE REVISED INSCRIPTION

Keep your tired, your poor,
your huddled masses yearning to be free,
keep the refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed elsewhere.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door,
it reads "NO Vacancy".

TWO IMPORTANT SURVIVAL REQUIREMENTS

INFRASTRUCTURE - For humans to survive it is necessary that we maintain and develop a consistent and improved infrastructure (communications, water, power, transportation, education and housing) at all times. 

STANDARDIZATION - One of the most important aspects of accelerated evolution would be global standardization, thus allowing all people access to the same products for a specified length of time (example: ten years) without suffering incompatibility problems. 

"EVERY CIVILIZATION NEEDS IT'S DIOGENES."

FREEDOM, DEMOCRACY, SOCIALISM, COMMUNISM, POLITICS, LIBERTY, ECONOMY, MONEY, TERRORISM, AL Qaeda, RELIGION, PHILOSOPHY

Nothing for now, but I'll use this spot to rant and rave.
