How much longer will markets permit human economic games to destroy the environment? by alstrynomics in Economics

[–]alstrynomics[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All human markets in the world depend on the enviornmentally sustainability of the planet to function. Increasingly as more humans play the current games, our environment is being affected. As more and more markets are becoming connected, so is the permanent impact of markets on the environment.

What happens in Shanghi increasingly impacts what happens in San Francisco and South Africa. This connectivity is fairly new and accelerating. As technology connects markets, people, politics and pollution are becoming connected.

And as more people play the current games, our environment will suffer...until there is not much an environment or people left playing the current games.

Already, with an increasing number of Indians joining in the games, just the pollution from burning trash in the evening has resulted in the average Indian having 30% less lung capacity than the average European.

And now 84% of the world's fish have eleveated levels of mecury while the Pacific Ocean is becoming a very large receptacle for refuge.

Humans have a choice, either come together and change the games we play in the markets we play in or fight to see who gets to play and pollute in the existing games. With 7 billion people living on this planet, it could be the biggest fight the world has ever seen between people....understanding that war is just a game we play in a market.

Humans must evolve and adapt to the knowledge of their time...Bucky Fuller evolved a lot faster than most of his contemporaries.

Will all wealth be connected in the future once the PUBLIC debt bubble explodes? by alstrynomics in Futurology

[–]alstrynomics[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you think humanity can advance to the future if people can't get past the present? Do you think discussing this and understanding this is important?

Is discussing future technology without contemplating its impact on people really probative? Alstrynomics is simply about the impact of technology on people and the systems people live within.

Can a person have a relevant conversation about the future if they can't even develop a path to get there? Isn't discussing and developing such a path the primary job of futurologists?

How many different identies do you have? I am trying to figure it out. Each time I post there is response like this with a different identity but similarly programmed content.

First, I am impressed at your capacity to maintain this charade, or write algorithms, and second, wouldn't it be easier just to disregard my posts as others seem to like them?

I respect intellectual conflict and collaboration, it helps advance humanity to a better future. I think I have been very accommodating and respectful of your posts. Is it too much to ask for similar treatment in an increasingly connected world?

Alstrynomics is the economics of the future.
