Climate change is real.
Environmental degradation is real.
Global warming as stated by the U.N. is a fraud, used as a preconditional arguement for the imposition of global governance through global taxation.

There is a very important distinction to be made here: mankinds impact on the biomes as a whole vs. mankinds impact on climate change. Our impact on climate change is highly suspect; however we can all agree about our impact on environmental degradation.

But let us go one step further and perform a discrete analysis of trends regarding environmental degradation. Where are the worst examples to be found? Can an analysis of such examples yield validation to Malthusian arguments?

It seems to me that “kill all humans” argumentation is being smuggled into a larger dynamism where it is industry and the profit motive per se which is the real culprit. Power and wealth who hold within their clutches the capacity to produce or to not produce a civilization wherein such environmental impact is a reality have tried to persuade us that the consumer and their habits are the culprit.

But let me dispel this myth if I may: greed, competition and the auspices of a “free market”, itself a theoretical impossibility, stand behind every instance of arguable degradation. The brutal interplay of the market system, of competition and not cooperation between producers, the warlike struggle between “nationalistic” markets – these elements of our civilization are the Real culprits who stand behind every series of impact. I might at this point extol the benefits of a global market in which competition is aggregated and thus diminished, where the producers of the world can with efficient organization meet the needs of the worlds consumers in a healthy fashion – if it weren’t for the obvious charge that such a system at this stage in our civilization would merely be corrupted and used as a vehicle for the elite to dominate and oppress all culture and that the benefits of organization and efficiency would never come to exist if the reigns of power are left in the hands of the greedy and the elitist.

The real problem then is that very culture of elitism which has produced the global corporatism tendency. Global collectivist economics is an alternative, out beyond socialism there exits the very real possibility for a system of emergent business; however, the danger will always exist that the regulative bodies of such a system would become corrupt. Therefore it seems inevitable that certain categories of answer to this dilemma must be employed, each with their own dangers.

Let me propose a few examples.

Firstly, that the systems of regulation which must necessarily exist are not comprised of technocrats but rather of AI’s, organic computing AI’s which self evolved to address the concerns. The danger here is that while one has relieved the concern of “Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?” with regard to who would program the AI’s, the very algorithms themselves have become the new watchers. It seems this methodology again is little better than hoping for a benevolent dictatorship!

Secondly, that we do not dispense with a technocratic regulative body for such a global production system, a centrally planned global economy which utilizes emergent principles that focus on localized control of relevant systems may be possible to govern by a sort of virtual republic – that is to say that a congress of the world. While this is a typically aristocratic approach in a certain sense, it should be obvious that we cannot avoid the necessity of utilizing those humans with expertise in a given field in order to address the associated concerns of regulation within our system. Therefore it is incumbent upon us to take Plato scholarship more seriously; an unmanaged study of the classics in general furnishes us with some of the tools we need to begin to understand what must occur if we are to produce the sorts of watchers we can entrust the governance of regulation to. But this is in a sense as dangerous as the system we have now! We run the risk of republic degenerating into mere democracy!

Virtual representation at any rate seems possible given the existence of internet technology as such: transparent, non-linear policy and the vetting thereof by emergent systems is a reality we cannot afford to neglect. If we are to approach the resolution to this question via the avenue of localized and localizing controls we can look forward to a system that successfully addresses the needs of the individual – the individual who must become sovereign.

Do I then argue with Gasset? No, I do not argue with his analysis, I argue that such an analysis is possible! The illusion of the categories employed by all historical thought in this field break down almost immediately when one increases the complexity of the data modeling structures so that they begin to approach reality!

We only now have the technology to model the individual and civilization with a degree of fidelity that would make such analysis concrete. And we have not used it thusly, if we have used it at all it is to catalogue mankind in brutal ways, you ARE your FICO score and etc., we have transposed the complexity of the individual onto synthetic systems of data and the result has been an epidemic of hopelessness – this is logical, mankind is not a synthetic being but is an incomprehensibly complex thing! It is our arrogance perhaps that we think we know, but it is unwise and it is disingenuous: one must laugh almost that the egotistical dissimulation of the complexity of one’s fellow man is so prevalent in those who think so highly of themselves, what then is not your own nature complex my good sir?

It is obvious to us that the universe (or our pocket of it, a miraculous and precarious lea redoubt in a sea of chaos) organizes according to higher and higher states of energy, certainly when it comes to the wonder that is Organic Life this is the case. How is it then that we have been lulled to sleep? How could we have been taught to sell our heroes for ghosts, hot air for a cold dream?

To ask the question Curtis puts so eloquently – What happened to our dreams of freedom?
